TY - GEN T1 - Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA): Reauthorization Issues. CRS Issue Brief. AN - 62744120; ED377888 AB - The Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA) was the first, and the largest, federal program of assistance to libraries, and as amended in 1990, contains eight titles that authorize aid to public libraries. In 1994, the appropriations authorizations for LSCA programs were extended for one year, but without substantive amendment, by the Improving America's Schools Act (IASA), and will therefore be considered for revision and reauthorization by the 104th Congress. LSCA funds are intended to focus on innovative services, services to populations with special needs, information-sharing networks, and adult literacy activities, and to be used as discretionary funds for special or new services or to purchase new equipment for computer networks. However, for each fiscal year from 1982 through 1995, progressively fewer funds have been requested by the presidential administrations. The primary rationale offered for limiting these funds was that LSCA had served its original purpose of extending basic library services to rural and other previously unserved areas, that LSCA funds represent a very small share of total library funding, and that federal aid to libraries should either be eliminated or limited to a few authorized activities of the highest priority. Nevertheless, Congress has continued to provide appropriations for LSCA, and a 1991 White House Conference on Library and Information Services produced many recommendations for increased federal aid to libraries under the major categories of access, governance, marketing, networking, national information policy, preservation, services, technology, training of end-users, and personnel. In response to these issues, six reauthorization options are proposed for LSCA. Contains four references.

AN - 77837050; 7646656 AB - Between September 1988 and February 1989, Anyinginyi Congress, an Aboriginal community-controlled health organisation, facilitated a collaborative community action against striptease shows in public bars in Tennant Creek. This action resulted in changes to the guidelines of the Northern Territory Liquor Act to regulate striptease shows in public bars and began other processes of addressing alcohol related problems in the community. The composition and strategies of both the pro- and anti-striptease lobbies are analysed within the context of changing power relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, as epitomised in the growth and consolidation of Aboriginal community-controlled organisations in Tennant Creek. The role of the media in shaping the course and direction of the debates as well as the response of the Northern Territory government as the final arbiter in the striptease conflict are scrutinised. The use of sex to sell alcohol is a legitimate public health concern and community action for healthier public policy is an important strategy in creating supporting environments for health.

Technical Report. AN - 62742070; ED379314 AB - The 1991 Survey of Recent College Graduates (RCG:91) is the sixth study in a series begun in 1976. The series provides data on the occupational and educational outcomes of recent bachelor's and master's graduates one year after graduation. The survey was conducted by Westat, Inc. in a two-stage sample involving 400 institutions of higher education and 18,000 graduates contacted by telephone. Along with estimates, reports on the RCG typically include standard errors of the estimates, indicating the nature and size of sampling error. Errors due to nonsampling error are often not included in estimated standard errors, but this report examines nonsampling errors and their impact on the estimates from the RCG:91. The major sources of nonsampling errors are nonresponse, random measurement errors, and systematic errors due to interviewers. Each source is discussed, and ways to estimate the potential consequences of nonsampling errors are explored. Nine figures, 19 tables, and 3 exhibits present statistical information. Eight appendixes contain supplemental and detailed information about the conduct of the survey. (SLD) AU - Brick, Michael J.

Fast Response Survey System. E.D. Tabs. AN - 62739356; ED379338 AB - This report contains tabular summaries based on data collected from the Survey of High School Curricular Options. The national survey was conducted in response to the growing controversy over the implications that curriculum differentiation, or tracking, has for American school children. The tables present statistics on the policies and practices of public secondary schools (schools containing grades 10 through 12) regarding curricular options. A national sample of 912 schools replied to the survey. Most are offering core curriculum courses differentiated in terms of content, quantity, or intensity of work, or expectations regarding independent work, but only 15% of schools identified themselves as having traditional tracking policies. Many schools report some student mobility among ability levels in mathematics and English after grade 10, but it frequently happens that the same students are assigned to highest-level ability courses in mathematics and English. Thirteen detailed tables contain survey findings. Four appendixes present supporting information and the questionnaire.

AN - 62737983; ED380515 AB - This report profiles the American high school sophomore in the 1989-90 school year using data from the National Education Longitudinal Study. It describes the tested achievement of sophomores in mathematics and patterns of course-taking in mathematics, as well as English, science, and social studies. The report summarizes sophomore reports of how they and their families make decisions about school, work, and college plans. Also examined are sophomores' reports of their future plans, including educational expectations. Just over 11% were not able to perform simple arithmetic operations on whole numbers, but about one-fourth had mastered simple problem solving, but not complex problem solving. Just over 22% had achieved the highest level of mathematics mastery, that is, conceptual understanding and complex problem solving. Geometry and foreign language were among the key "gatekeeper" courses for college admission. Overall, gender differences were small, but students did differ in mathematics achievement by socioeconomic status and by high school program placement. While black and white students had similar educational expectations, blacks were much less likely to have taken geometry and foreign languages. Student characteristics are displayed in 29 tables and 12 figures. Five appendixes present supplemental information. (Contains 69 references.) (SLD) AU - Ingels, Steven J.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62734935; ED377197 AB - The quality of student/teacher interactions, in effect, the quality of learning, is greatly affected by the qualities (characteristics, qualifications, attitudes, and skills) of teachers. The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), conducted by the National Center for Educational Statistics, collected information that enables an analysis of teacher qualifications and the proportion of students being taught by less than fully qualified teachers. This document presents four analyses of teacher qualifications using data from the 1987-88 SASS and the 1990-91 SASS. All four analyses look at the interaction of academic preparation in the field taught and certification to teach in that field. The first two analyses focus on teachers' qualifications to teach in their main assignment field, or the field in which they teach the most classes, while the final two analyses focus on secondary teachers' qualifications to teach individual subjects they are assigned to teach during the school day. Each analysis then yields a table showing whether or not the teacher is certified in the field, and whether or not he or she has academic preparation in the field. Data for each of the four cells generated (certified, prepared; certified, not prepared; not certified, prepared; and not certified, not prepared) are provided.

AN - 21275387; 11701582 AB - Asbestos and silica are well-known fibrogenic dusts. However, there is no comprehensive understanding of the molecular and cellular events that lead to fibrosis as a consequence of asbestos or silica inhalation. Previous studies have shown that asbestos stimulates superoxide anion production in alveolar macrophages through the phospholipase C/protein kinase C pathway. In contrast, silica does not appear to activate this pathway nor stimulate superoxide anion production, but silica does stimulate cytokine release by some undetermined pathway. Therefore, using human alveolar macrophages isolated from normal healthy volunteers, we evaluated the potential involvement of intracellular calcium and tyrosine kinases as potential signal transduction pathways. In the absence of serum, crystalline silica, and to a lesser extent amorphous silica, caused a rapid and dose-dependent elevation of intracellular calcium coming from the extracellular space. However, in the presence of serum, which is required for silica-stimulated cytokine release, neither form of silica caused noticeable elevation of intracellular calcium. Silica, however, did increase the extent of tyrosine phosphorylation, most notably of proteins at approximately 46 and 50 kDa, suggesting activation of a tyrosine kinase pathway. Preincubation of alveolar macrophages for 24 hr with silica-primed human alveolar macrophages for enhanced interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) release stimulated by endotoxin (LPS) that was dose dependent. The enhanced LPS-stimulated release of IL-1 beta correlated with enhanced mitogen-activated protein kinase activity. Taken together, these results indicate that a tyrosine kinase pathway is activated during silica stimulation of human alveolar macrophages. Images Figure 4. A Figure 4.

AN - 21274831; 11704898 AB - The mechanism of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis is not yet clear. Recent studies have shown that alveolar macrophages (AM) can be stimulated by bleomycin in vitro releasing inflammatory cytokines, suggesting that the interaction of bleomycin with AM is an important step in the drug-induced fibrotic process. Bleomycin is known to bind DNA and generate oxygen radicals through complexation with Fe2+ and oxygen. To provide more insight into the cellular oxidative property of bleomycin, we have developed a fluoromicroscopic method using 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFHDA) as an oxidative fluorescence probe to study the bleomycin-induced intracellular oxidation in rat AM and the inhibition of the oxidation by taurine, a compound known to inhibit the bleomycin-induced fibrosis. Bleomycin at 5 to 20 micrograms/ml has a moderate stimulatory effect (1.87- to 2.66-fold) on the secretion of superoxide anion. A high concentration of bleomycin (20 micrograms/ml), however, inhibits cell response to zymosan-induced secretion of superoxide anion. At 4 micrograms/ml, bleomycin has no effect on cell membrane integrity or morphology but results in a significant increase in intracellular oxidation. This oxidative process is Fe(2+)-dependent and is accompanied by an increase in intracellular calcium (35 nM). Both the intracellular oxidation and calcium rise induced by internalized bleomycin are inhibited by pretreatment of cells with varying concentrations of taurine (25, 125, and 187.5 microM).

We present here a synthesis of the ideas discussed throughout the conference, including definitions of important concepts in the field and critical research needs and opportunities. While there were many opinions expressed on these topics, there was general agreement that there are substantive new opportunities to improve the impact of genetic and molecular ecotoxicology on prediction of sublethal effects of exposure to hazardous substances. Future studies should emphasize integration of genetic ecotoxicology, ecological genetics, and molecular biology and should be directed toward improving our understanding of the ecological implications of genotoxic responses. Ecological implications may be assessed at either the population or ecosystem level; however, a population-level focus may be most pragmatic. Recent technical advancements in measuring genetic and molecular responses to toxicant exposure will spur rapid progress. These new techniques have considerable promise for increasing our understanding of both mechanisms of toxicity on genes or gene products and the relevance of detrimental effects to individual fitness. a Environ Health Perspect 102(Suppl 12):3a8 (1994) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Anderson, Susan AU - Sadinski, Walter AU - Shugart, Lee AU - Brussard, Peter AU - Depledge, Michael AU - Ford, Tim AU - Hose, JoEllen AU - Stegeman, John AU - Suk, William AU - Wirgin, Isaac AU - Wogan, Gerald Y1 - 1994/12// PY - 1994 DA - Dec 1994 SP - 3 EP - 8 PB - US Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, P.O.

AN - 21270273; 11701588 AB - Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a highly potent molecule that has a myriad of effects in biologic systems. This brief review describes some of our findings on the effects of IL-1 in biologic systems. On the one hand, IL-1 treatment caused a neutrophil-dependent acute edematous lung injury that resembled changes in the lungs of patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). On the other hand, IL-1 pretreatment conferred a tolerance to lung oxidative lung injury and ischemia-reperfusion insults--again conditions manifest in sick patients. The potential mechanisms responsible for these seemingly paradoxical influences of IL-1 are described and related to possible strategies for the treatment of patients with ARDS, ischemia-reperfusion disorders, and other oxidant-mediated conditions.

AN - 21268643; 11703526 AB - This article proposes that genetic and molecular ecotoxicology can play an important role in making policy and risk assessment decisions concerning xenobiotics. It calls for a greater awareness by ecotoxicologists to the effects in wildlife and humans resulting from transgenerational exposure to synthetic chemicals that interfere with gene expression and differentiation. The difficulty of recognizing these effects on the endocrine, immune, and nervous systems in developing embryos is described and suggests why effects of this nature have traditionally not been addressed when determining risk to synthetic chemicals. Specific examples are cited of environmental effects on hormonally responsive tissue in wildlife populations which could be used as models for assessing human exposure to synthetic chemicals. Evidence is presented that the environmental load of synthetic chemicals has reached critical levels at which wildlife and human health are at risk.

AN - 21268626; 11703516 AB - Occupational exposure to mineral dust causes pneumoconiosis and other diseases. A cytotoxicity assay to predict the potential of minerals to cause disease would be of great value as a prevention strategy. This study compares the ability of several minerals to generate the more potent oxidizing agent, hydroxyl radical (.OH), and their cytotoxicity and lipid peroxidation potentials. Crystalline silica, the most potent cytotoxic and pathogenic mineral studied, showed the least ability to generate .OH radicals while inducing the maximal lipid peroxidation. Coal mine dust, showing the maximal ability to generate .OH radicals, was the least cytotoxic in bioassays of toxicity and induction of lipid peroxidation. Based on these results, it would appear that the ability of minerals to induce lipid peroxidation provides a better correlation with known cytotoxicity and pathogenicity of minerals than does their ability to generate oxygen radicals.

AN - 21264255; 11703524 AB - CYP1A gene expression has been implicated in the processing of environmental procarcinogens and levels of variation in CYP1A mRNA expression are high in both environmentally exposed and chemically treated Atlantic tomcod. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of physical and biological parameters such as temperature, sex, and reproductive state on within-group variation in CYP1A mRNA induction. Levels of variation in CYP1A mRNA expression were directly correlated with mean levels of gene induction. Our results indicate that sex and reproductive state, but not temperature, had significant effects on CYP1A mRNA inducibility in tomcod; however, these parameters did not account for all interindividual variation in CYP1A inducibility. Other intrinsic biological factors, such as genetic polymorphisms in molecular pathways leading to CYP1A induction, may contribute to the high levels of interindividual variation in CYP1A inducibility in Atlantic tomcod.

AN - 21261868; 11701593 AB - The kidneys are capable of carrying out extensive oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, and conjugation reactions. Renal cortex has high activities of cytochrome P450 and glutathione (GSH) S-transferase. In contrast, renal medulla has high activity of prostaglandin synthetase, which can catalyze co-oxidation of xenobiotics. While these pathways are found in many tissues and at higher activities than in kidney, several key enzymes of the mercapturic acid pathway are found at especially high activities in cells of the renal proximal tubule. Investigations over the last two decades demonstrated that GSH conjugation is not only a mechanism for detoxification of reactive electrophiles. Rather, metabolism of GSH S-conjugates to the corresponding cysteine S-conjugates represents a branch point: cysteine S-conjugates may be metabolized by the cysteine S-conjugate N-acetyl-transferase to mercapturic acids, which are nontoxic and are excreted, or they may be substrates for the pyridoxal phosphate-dependent cysteine conjugate beta-lyase, which catalyzes either a beta-elimination or a transamination reaction to produce unstable thiols. These thiols rearrange to form potent acylating species that can covalently bind to cellular macromolecules, thereby producing cytotoxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity. In addition to the beta-lyase, two other renal enzymes, L-2-amino (2-hydroxy) acid oxidase and cysteine conjugate S-oxidase, can bioactivate chemicals to produce nephrotoxic species. Several halogenated alkanes and alkenes are bioactivated by these pathways. These findings show that mammalian kidney is highly active in bioactivation of xenobiotics. Although the properties of the corresponding enzymes in humans may differ, it is clear that renal metabolism can be a critical determinant of risk to chemical injury.

AN - 21261474; 11703523 AB - Electrophoretic analyses of population genetic structure, both in the laboratory and in the field, have documented significant shifts in allozyme genotype frequencies in a variety of aquatic taxa as a result of environmental impacts. Studies are documented which indicate that contaminants may select for individuals with tolerant allozyme genotypes, causing the potential loss of individuals with sensitive genotypes. This may diminish the genetic variability and fitness of affected populations and make them more susceptible to extinction following a subsequent stress. Future research involving population genetic structure and ecotoxicology should focus on determining the mechanism of sensitivity, documenting multigenerational effects of chronic laboratory exposure on population genetic composition, investigating whether previously stressed and genetically impacted populations are more susceptible to further natural and/or anthropogenic stressors, and establishing the utility of population genetic structure as a sensitive monitor of impacts in aquatic systems and their subsequent remediation.

AN - 21260491; 11701584 AB - The respiratory burst oxidase of phagocytes and B lymphocytes catalyzes the reduction of oxygen by NADPH to form O2-, the precursor of a group of reactive oxidants that are employed by phagocytes as microbicidal agents. The enzyme is active in stimulated cells but dominant in resting cells. It molecular weight guanine nucleotide-binding protein. The components p22phox and gp91phox from cytochrome b558, a flavohemoprotein that resides in the cortical cytoskeleton and in the membranes of the specific granules. The other components are found in the cytosol of resting cells, but migrate to the cortical cytoskeleton when the neutrophils are activated, where they assemble the active oxidase. Migration to the cortical cytoskeleton is caused in part by the appearance of a membrane binding site on one or more of the cytosolic subunits, possibly due to the phosphorylation of p47phox that takes place during cell activation.

AN - 21259734; 11701583 AB - Respiratory tract lining fluids (RTLFs) are a heterogeneous group of substances covering the respiratory tract epithelial cells (RTECs) from nasal mucosa to alveoli. Antioxidant contained in the RTLFs can be expected to provide an initial defense against inhaled environmental toxins. The major antioxidants in RTLF include mucin, uric acid, protein (largely albumin), ascorbic acid, and reduced glutathione (GSH). RTLF antioxidants can be augmented by such processes as transudation/exudation of plasma constituents; RTEC secretory processes, including glandular mucus secretion; and cellular antioxidants derived from lysis of RTECs and of inflammatory cells. The antioxidant composition of RTLFs and their role in modulating normal and pathophysiologic RTEC functions under conditions of oxidative stress are yet to be fully characterized.

AN - 21258936; 11704899 AB - Models generally consider risk to be a function of the hazard (toxicity) and exposure (dose). That function is best described by the dose response of the toxic effect. For any risk assessment system to be effective, it should consider that dose-response relationship. Saturation phenomena often produce nonlinear dose curves, and any risk assessment system should be able to address such effects. Physiologically based pharmacokinetics offer an approach to deal with these nonlinear responses. Some historic risk models and common saturable processes are discussed. The impact of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) on risk evaluation and the kinetics of some saturable processes are considered. Specific examples have been selected to demonstrate the importance of saturation of processes in assessing the hazard of chemicals.

AN - 21253658; 11701591 AB - The use of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models has been proposed as a means of estimating the dose of the reactive metabolites of carcinogenic xenobiotics reaching target tissues, thereby affording an opportunity to base estimates of potential cancer risk on tissue dose rather than external levels of exposure. In this article, we demonstrate how a PBPK model can be constructed by specifying mass-balance equations for each physiological compartment included in the model. In general, this leads to a system of nonlinear partial differential equations with which to characterize the compartment system. These equations then can be solved numerically to determine the concentration of metabolites in each compartment as functions of time. In the special case of a linear pharmacokinetic system, we present simple closed-form expressions for the area under the concentration-time curves (AUC) in individual tissue compartments. A general relationship between the AUC in blood and other tissue compartments is also established. These results are of use in identifying those parameters in the models that characterize the integrated tissue dose, and which should therefore be the primary focus of sensitivity analyses. Applications of PBPK modeling for purposes of tissue dosimetry are reviewed, including models developed for methylene chloride, ethylene oxide, 1,4-dioxane, 1-nitropyrene, as well as polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, and furans. Special considerations in PBPK modeling related to aging, topical absorption, pregnancy, and mixed exposures are discussed. The linkage between pharmacokinetic models used for tissue dosimetry and pharmacodynamic models for neoplastic transformation of stem cells in the target tissue is explored.

AN - 21253289; 11701595 AB - The genetic effects of environmental pollutants include mutations in somatic cells or germinal cells that are the direct result of exposure to toxicants. Biomarkers that detect such mutagenic effects have been developed and tested in field studies on wildlife populations. However, another class of genetic effects resulting from pollution exposure exists. Specifically, changes in allele frequencies of populations will occur as a result of population bottlenecks, inbreeding, or selection at loci critical for survival in polluted environments. We describe how such genetic alterations can be studied at the population level using the techniques of molecular genetics, and we predict the development of a new field, evolutionary toxicology, that will address such issues.

AN - 21252321; 11701586 AB - The assessment of risks to human health associated with exposure to oxidant air pollutants has not received adequate attention despite the recognized public health threat posed by the ubiquitous presence of these compounds in the environment. In this article, research needs and uncertainties at each of the steps in the risk assessment of oxidant air pollutants are identified: hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization. Many of these limitations and uncertainties arise at the interface between the laboratory and the regulatory arenas. Therefore, as a case study, relevant methodologic problems associated with the application of experimental findings to the risk assessment of respirable dusts are also discussed. These issues include the extrapolation of animal data to the human case and extrapolation from high-dose to environmentally relevant, low-level exposures.

AN - 21251604; 11703517 AB - Free radicals and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) are constantly formed in the human body, often for useful metabolic purposes. Antioxidant defenses protect against them, but these defenses are not completely adequate, and systems that repair damage by ROS are also necessary. Mild oxidative stress often induces antioxidant defense enzymes, but severe stress can cause oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA within cells, leading to such events as DNA strand breakage and disruption of calcium ion metabolism. Oxidative stress can result from exposure to toxic agents, and by the process of tissue injury itself. Ozone, oxides of nitrogen, and cigarette smoke can cause oxidative damage; but the molecular targets that they damage may not be the same.

AN - 21251307; 11701580 AB - The carcinogenic effects of crystalline silica in rat lungs were extensively demonstrated by many experimental long-term studies, showing a marked predominance for adenocarcinomas originating from alveolar type II cells and associated with areas of pulmonary fibrosis (silicosis). In contrast with its effects in rats, silica did not induce alveolar type II hyperplasia and lung tumors in mice and hamsters, pointing to a critical role for host factors. Using these animal models, we are investigating the role of cytokines and other cellular mediators on the proliferation of alveolar type II cells. Immunohistochemical localization of TGF-beta 1 precursor in alveolar type II cells adjacent to silicotic granulomas was shown to occur in rats, but not in mice, and hamsters, suggesting a pathogenetic role for this regulatory growth factor. Recent investigations in our laboratory on the biologic mechanisms of crystalline silica included determination of anionic sites on crystalline silica surfaces by binding of the cationic dye Janus Green B; binding of crystalline silica to DNA, demonstrated by infrared spectrometry; production of oxygen radicals by crystalline silica in aqueous media; induction of DNA strand breakage and base oxidation in vitro and its potentiation by superoxide dismutase and by hydrogen peroxide; and induction by crystalline silica of neoplastic transformation and chromosomal damage in cells in culture. On the basis of these in vitro studies, we propose that DNA binding to crystalline silica surfaces may be important in silica carcinogenesis by anchoring DNA close to sites of oxygen radical production on the silica surface, so that the oxygen radicals are produced within a few A from their target DNA nucleotides.

AN - 21250981; 11703520 AB - We have studied four organic acids of similar structure to further understand the basis of their developmental toxicity. Valproic acid (2-propyl pentanoic acid), ethylhexanoic acid, and octanoic acid are isomeric C8 organic acids but their teratologic potency varied widely. Valproic acid induced a moderate to severe teratologic outcome after a single oral administration of 6.25 mmoles/kg on day 12 of rat pregnancy. Twice as much ethylhexanoic acid (12.5 mmoles/kg) induced a less severe response. Octanoic acid was nonteratogenic even at the very high dose of 18.75 mmoles/kg. This latter result is undoubtedly due to poor intestinal absorption of octanoic acid, as the maternal plasma levels never reached half of those measured for valproic acid and ethylhexanoic acid. Moreover, only a tiny fraction of that in maternal plasma was actually transferred into the embryo. On the other hand, the peak concentration and duration of exposure to valproic acid and ethylhexanoic acid were very similar despite a more severe teratologic outcome following valproic acid, which indicated higher intrinsic activity of this latter agent. A fourth agent, methylhexanoic acid, was also studied and had no teratogenic effects when given at 14.1 mmoles/kg. Pharmacokinetic studies of this agent revealed higher peak concentrations in maternal plasma and embryo than valproic acid or ethylhexanoic acid, but the duration of exposure was shorter. We conclude that pharmacokinetic parameters can be important determinants of teratologic outcome and thereby help explain differing potencies of structurally similar chemicals.

Ra is created in estuarine sediments by the radioactive decay of insoluble Th parents residing close to or on the surfaces of the sediment grains. Ra desorbed into the pore water is continuously lost to the water column due to the cyclical draining and filling of the sediments by the tides. The distribution of Ra in the estuary is governed by its rate of loss from the sediments, its advection along the estuary resulting from river discharge into the estuary's head, tidal mixing, and radioactive decay. These processes are all described in a model. Matching of model-predicted Ra concentrations with measurements allows an estimate of the effective depth in the sediments to which the pore water is exchanged every tidal cycle. This depth is large (15 cm), but it is shown to be reasonable for the Bega estuary.

CRS Report for Congress. AN - 62744986; ED378368 AB - Selected issues related to the special populations provisions of the Perkins Act are examined in this paper. Special populations' access to and participation in vocational education are reviewed, and major Perkins Act provisions addressing special populations and congressional intent behind the provisions are summarized. The U.S. Department of Education's interpretation of special population provisions and recent proposed reinterpretation of the provisions are discussed. Legal provisions other than the Perkins Act that protect and guarantee the rights of members of certain special populations in educational programs are outlined. Special attention is paid to civil rights statutes, regulations, and guidelines. The following policy alternatives available to the 104th Congress as it prepares to reauthorize the Perkins Act are analyzed: (1) use current civil rights statutes to ensure access; (2) enact current regulations; (3) enact the Department of Education's proposed regulatory changes; and (4) provide access for all students to high quality programs. The implications of the four policy alternatives with respect to educational equity and quality and unfunded mandates were considered. Appended is a summary of the major Perkins Act provisions for special populations. (MN) AU - Apling, Richard N.

Impacts of the IASA, which extends and amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and related federal legislation, including the Title I program of aid for the education of disadvantaged children, are explored. More funds will be targeted for high poverty schools, and more programs will be operated on a schoolwide basis. Rules of participation for disabled or limited-English-proficient students are simplified, and coordination of education with other social and health services for students is encouraged. Funds can be used to support programs of choice among public Title I schools. More professional development is encouraged, and more extensive planning is required from states and local education agencies. The revised Title I will encourage greater parental involvement, and will authorize two types of national assessments of Title I and its effects, along with discretionary grants to demonstrate new approaches to educating the disadvantaged. Some minor adjustments are made to participation by private schools. Five tables, two of which are in the appendix, summarize changes and new approaches. An appendix provides data related to effort and equity factors for the incentive grant formula. (SLD) AU - Riddle, Wayne C.

Survey Report. AN - 62744173; ED377858 AB - Data, derived from the National Center for Education Statistics 1990-91 Schools and Staffing Survey, are presented about school library media centers and the support they receive. The focus is on the number of schools with library media centers, the level at which these centers are staffed, and the role library media centers and their staff play in schools. As of 1990-91, 96% of public and 87% of private elementary and secondary schools in the United States had a library or library media center. The expansion in library media specialists seen between 1960 and 1980 has slowed, and in the early 1990s school library media center staffing levels have not kept pace with increases in student enrollment. In the public sector, 8% of schools with library media centers did not employ some kind of media center staff, but over half of the smaller, elementary, and non-Catholic religious private schools had neither a librarian/media specialist nor a library aide. Few school principals reported that the school librarian or media specialist had much influence over curriculum decisions, although private school librarians were more likely to be acknowledged as influential. Twenty tables (and eight appendix tables) and four figures present survey data. (Contains 19 references.) (SLD) AU - Ingersoll, Richard M.

It is contended that in the process of globalization & in the face of multiculturalism, what is meant by "the social" is no longer certain, & social connections themselves are weakening. The development of individualism is leading to a culture of narcissism. This crisis of the social has been accompanied by a related crisis in the sciences of the social, especially sociology, since views of society & social organization are also changing. Also in a state of crisis is the nation-state, since other alliances -- cultural, economic, religious, racial/ethnic, even music & sport -- of a global nature are taking on greater importance. Modernity is fragmenting society as it has been known. Ways of rethinking the social are the topic of discussion here. J. W.

AN - 21353989; 7702007 AB - 1,3-Butadiene is a major industrial chemical that has been shown to be a carcinogen at multiple sites in mice and rats at concentrations as low as 6.25 ppm. Occupational exposures have been reduced in response to these findings, but it may not be possible to determine by using traditional epidemiological methods, whether current exposure levels are adequate for protection of worker health. However, it is possible to evaluate the biological significance of exposure to genotoxic chemicals at the time of exposure by measuring levels of genetic damage in exposed populations. We have conducted a pilot study to evaluate the effects of butadiene exposure on the frequencies of lymphocytes containing mutations at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (hprt) locus in workers in a butadiene production plant. At the same time, urine specimens from the same individuals were collected and evaluated for the presence of butadiene-specific metabolites. Eight workers from areas of the plant where the highest exposures to butadiene occur were compared to five workers from plant areas where butadiene exposures were low. In addition, six subjects with no occupational exposure to butadiene were also studied as outside controls. All of the subjects were nonsmokers. An air sampling survey conducted for 6 months, and ending about 3 months before the study, indicated that average butadiene levels in the air of the high-exposure areas were about 3.5 +/- 7.5 ppm.

AN - 21275537; 11701661 AB - Meta-analysis has seen increasing use as a tool in epidemiology over the past five years. Although this method is relatively well accepted for use in clinical trials, its use has proved somewhat more controversial in epidemiology. If meta-analysis is viewed as an evolutionary improvement over the review article, it may become more widely acceptable. Meta-analysis should incorporate the concern for study quality and differences in study design seen in classic review articles with the concern for rigor, objectivity, and quantitative precision characteristic of meta-analysis. Available tools for consideration of differences among studies are described with several examples from the literature. The extent to which various methods are used in published meta-analyses is described. Methods for assessing publication bias, and tools for combining dose-response data, are discussed also. Evaluation of risk factors and protective factors for cancer must be based on the weight of the evidence. Tools such as meta-analysis are essential if we are to interpret the vast number of completed studies in cancer epidemiology.

AN - 21270324; 11701667 AB - It is widely recognized that exposure to combinations or mixtures of chemicals may result in highly exaggerated toxicity even though the individual chemicals might not be toxic. Assessment of risk from exposure to combinations of chemicals requires the knowledge of the underlying mechanism(s). Dietary exposure to a nontoxic dose of chlordecone (CD; 10 ppm, 15 days) results in a 67-fold increase in lethality of an ordinarily inconsequential dose of CCl4 (100 microliters/kg, ip). Toxicity of closely related CHCl3 and BrCCl3 is also enhanced. Phenobarbital (PB, 225 ppm, 15 days) and mirex (10 ppm, 15 days) do not share the propensity of CD in this regard. Exposure to PB + CCl4 results in enhanced liver injury similar to that observed with CD, but the animals recover and survive in contrast to the greatly amplified lethality of CD + CCl4. Investigations have revealed that neither enhanced bioactivation of CCl4 nor increased lipid peroxidation offers a satisfactory explanation of these findings. Additional studies indicate that exposure to a low dose of CCl4 (100 microliters/kg, ip) results in limited injury, which is accompanied by a biphasic response of hepatocellular regeneration (6 and 36 hr) and tissue repair, which enables the animals to recover from injury. Exposure to CD + CCl4 results in suppressed tissue repair owing to an energy deficit in hepatocytes as a consequence of excessive intracellular influx of Ca2+ leading initially to a precipitous decline in glycogen and ultimately to hypoglycemia. Supplementation of cellular energy results in restoration of the tissue repair and complete recovery from the toxicity of CD + CCl4 combination. In contrast, only the early-phase hepatic tissue repair (6 hr) is affected in PB + CCl4 treatment, but this is adequately compensated for by a greater stimulation of tissue repair at 24 and 48 hr resulting in recovery from liver injury and animal survival. A wide variety of additional experimental evidence confirms the central role of stimulated tissue repair as a decisive determinant of the final outcome of liver injury inflicted by CCl4. For instance, a 35-fold greater CCl4 sensitivity of gerbils compared to rats is correlated with the very sluggish tissue repair in gerbils. These findings are consistent with a two-stage model of toxicity, where tissue injury is inflicted by the well described "mechanisms of toxicity," but the outcome of this injury is determined by whether or not sustainable tissue repair response accompanies this injury.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Mehendale, H M AD - Division of Pharmacology and Toxicology, College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Northeast Louisiana University, Monroe 71209-0470.

AN - 21262010; 11701666 AB - Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from psoriatic patients therapeutically exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) during coal tar (CT) treatment were used to evaluate the in vivo formation of benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide(BaPDE)-DNA adducts by an ELISA technique and by the 32P-postlabeling method. Moreover, we controlled if the pretreatment with CT influences the formation of BaP-DNA adducts and the BaP metabolism in the PBL obtained from psoriatic patients, treated in vitro with BaP. Our data did not show any significant influence of the CT treatment on the levels of PAH-DNA adducts. Moreover, the use of PBL from psoriatic patients, treated in vitro with BaP, did not allow to detect significant modifications of the metabolic activation of BaP and of the ability of its metabolites to bind to DNA, before and after CT treatment. Thus, PBL do not seem to represent an useful cell model to evaluate the possible genotoxic effect of the exposure through the skin of psoriatic patients to the PAH contained in CT.

AN - 21261988; 11701665 AB - Human cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes are involved in the oxidation of natural products found in foods, beverages, and tobacco products and their catalytic activities can also be modulated by components of the materials. The microsomal activation of aflatoxin B1 to the exo-8,9-epoxide is stimulated by flavone and 7,8-benzoflavone, and attenuated by the flavonoid naringenin, a major component of grapefruit. P4502E1 has been demonstrated to play a potentially major role in the activation of a number of very low-molecular weight cancer suspects, including ethyl carbamate (urethan), which is present in alcoholic beverages and particularly stone brandies. The enzyme (P4502E1) is also known to be inducible by ethanol. Tobacco contains a large number of potential carcinogens. In human liver microsomes a significant role for P4501A2 can be demonstrated in the activation of cigarette smoke condensate. Some of the genotoxicity may be due to arylamines. P4501A2 is also inhibited by components of crude cigarette smoke condensate. The tobacco-specific nitrosamines are activated by a number of P450 enzymes. Of those known to be present in human liver, P4501A2, 2A6, and 2E1 can activate these nitrosamines to genotoxic products.

AN - 21259881; 11701662 AB - In traditional (cumulative-incidence) case-control studies, the exposure odds ratio can be used as an estimator of the risk ratio only when the disease under study is rare. The case-cohort study is a recently developed useful modification of the case-control study. This design allows direct estimation of the risk ratio from a fixed cohort, but does not require any rare-disease assumption. This article reviews recent developments in risk ratio estimation procedures for the analysis of case-cohort data. In the crude analysis, it is shown that the empirical risk ratio estimator is not fully efficient, and the maximum likelihood estimation of the crude risk ratio is discussed. In the stratified analysis, several common risk ratio estimation procedures and standardization methods have been proposed for large strata. However, the Mantel-Haenszel risk ratio and its variance estimator are the only available methods for sparse data.

AN - 21259162; 11701658 AB - We discuss a hybrid epidemiologic design that aims to combine two approaches to studying exposure-disease associations. The analytic approach is based on comparisons between individuals, e.g., case-control and cohort studies, and the ecologic approach is based on comparisons between groups. The analytic approach generally provides a stronger basis for inference, in part because of freedom from between-group confounding and better quality data, but the ecologic approach is less susceptible to attenuation bias from measurement error and may provide greater variability in exposure. The design we propose entails selection of a number of groups and enrollment of individuals within each group. Exposures, outcomes, confounders, and modifiers would be assessed on each individual; but additional exposure data might be available on the groups. The analysis would then combine the individual-level and the group-level comparisons, with appropriate adjustments for exposure measurement errors, and would test for compatibility between the two levels of analysis, e.g., to determine whether the associations at the individual level can account for the differences in disease rates between groups. Trade-offs between numbers of groups, numbers of individuals, and the extent of the individual and group measurement protocols are discussed in terms of design efficiency. These issues are illustrated in the context of an on-going study of the health effects of air pollution in southern California, in which 12 communities with different levels and types of pollution have been selected and 3500 school children are being enrolled in a ten-year cohort study.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Navidi, W AU - Thomas, D AU - Stram, D AU - Peters, J AD - Department of Preventive Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles 90033-9987.

AN - 21258900; 11703573 AB - Since 1963, evidence has accumulated that suggests boron is a safe and effective treatment for some forms of arthritis. The initial evidence was that boron supplementation alleviated arthritic pain and discomfort of the author. This was followed by findings from numerous other observations epidemiologic and controlled animal and human experiments. These findings included a) analytical evidence of lower boron concentrations in femur heads, bones, and synovial fluid from people with arthritis than from those without this disorder; b) observation evidence that bones of patients using boron supplements are much harder to cut than those of patients not using supplements; c) epidemiologic evidence that in areas of the world where boron intakes usually are 1.0 mg or less/day the estimated incidence of arthritis ranges from 20 to 70%, whereas in areas of the world where boron intakes are usually 3 to 10 mg, the estimated incidence of arthritis ranges from 0 to 10%; d) experimental evidence that rats with induced arthritis benefit from orally or intraperitoneally administered boron; e) experimental evidence from a double-blind placebo-boron supplementation trial with 20 subjects with osteoarthritis. A significant favorable response to a 6 mg boron/day supplement was obtained; 50% of subjects receiving the supplement improved compared to only 10% receiving the placebo. The preceding data indicate that boron is an essential nutrient for healthy bones and joints, and that further research into the use of boron for the treatment or prevention of arthritis is warranted.

AN - 21257352; 11703581 AB - Many epidemiologic investigations are designed to study the effects of multiple exposures. Most of these studies are analyzed either by fitting a risk-regression model with all exposures forced in the model, or by using a preliminary-testing algorithm, such as stepwise regression, to produce a smaller model. Research indicates that hierarchical modeling methods can outperform these conventional approaches. These methods are reviewed and compared to two hierarchical methods, empirical-Bayes regression and a variant here called "semi-Bayes" regression, to full-model maximum likelihood and to model reduction by preliminary testing. The performance of the methods in a problem of predicting neonatal-mortality rates are compared. Based on the literature to date, it is suggested that hierarchical methods should become part of the standard approaches to multiple-exposure studies.

AN - 21253415; 11701668 AB - A combined cytogeneticurine metabolite analysis approach was used to assess potential interactive effects between Fenarimol (FN), a fungicide, and trichloroethylene (TRI), a halogenated solvent. FN was demonstrated to selectively induce P450-2B1 isoforms in different organs of treated mice. Since the rate of metabolism and the stereospecificity of metabolism are dependent on the types and amount of P450s available, FN might drastically alter the metabolic activation of a precarcinogen, such as TRI, and its toxicological consequences. Male CD1 mice were divided into untreated, vehicle control, and experimental groups. Animals of the latter groups were treated ip with 150 mg/kg bw FN in corn oil, 457 mg/kg bw TRI in corn oil, TRI plus FN separated by different time intervals. Bone marrow cells were harvested for determination of micronuclei (MN) frequencies in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE). The presence of the known metabolite of TRI, trichloroethanol (TCE), was quantitated in collected urine by gas chromatography using an electron-capture detector. Linear regression analysis shows that MN frequency by TRI is correlated with TCE concentration in urine. Observed potentiation of genotoxicity of TRI by FN pretreatment (1 hr before TRI treatment) apparently reflects changes in the spectra of enzymes involved in TRI metabolism, and altered toxicokinetic, as witnessed by the 20% difference in TCE excretion from combined treated mice. However, no increased genetic or metabolic effects were observed when FN was administered 3 hr before TRI. No significant interactive effects were observed at a genetic level when FN was administered 1 hr and 3 hr after TRI whereas a 33 to 47% loss in TCE excretion was recorded.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Hrelia, P AU - Maffei, F AU - Vigagni, F AU - Fimognari, C AU - Flori, P AU - Stanzani, R AU - Cantelli Forti, G AD - Dipartimento di Farmacologia, Universita di Bologna, Italy.

AN - 21252408; 11701664 AB - Polymorphisms in many xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes occur leading to variation in the level of enzyme expression in vivo. Enzymes showing such polymorphisms include the cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2D6, and CYP2E1 and the phase two metabolism enzymes glutathione S-transferase MI (GSTMI) and arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2). In the past, these polymorphisms have been studied by phenotyping using in vivo administration of probe drugs. However, the mutations which give rise to several of these polymorphisms have now been identified and genotyping assays for polymorphisms in CYP1A1, CYP2A6, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, GSTMI, and NAT2 have been developed. Specific phenotypes for several of the polymorphic enzymes have been associated with increased susceptibility to malignancy, particularly lung and bladder cancer, and Parkinson's disease. These associations are likely to be due to altered activation or detoxication of chemicals initiating these diseases, including components of tobacco smoke and neurotoxins. The substrate specificity and tissue distribution of polymorphic enzymes implicated in disease causation discussed with particular reference to previously described disease-phenotype associations.

AN - 21251691; 11701660 AB - This article describes a Poisson regression model for time trends of mortality to detect the long-term effects of common levels of air pollution on lung cancer, in which the adjustment for cigarette smoking is not always necessary. The main hypothesis to be tested in the model is that if the long-term and common-level air pollution had an effect on lung cancer, the death rate from lung cancer could be expected to increase gradually at a higher rate in the region with relatively high levels of air pollution than in the region with low levels, and that this trend would not be expected for other control diseases in which cigarette smoking is a risk factor. Using this approach, we analyzed the trend of mortality in females aged 40 to 79, from lung cancer and two control diseases, ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease, based on vital statistics in 23 wards of the Tokyo metropolitan area for 1972 to 1988. Ward-specific mean levels per day of SO2 and NO2 from 1974 through 1976 estimated by Makino (1978) were used as the ward-specific exposure measure of air pollution. No data on tobacco consumption in each ward is available. Our analysis supported the existence of long-term effects of air pollution on lung cancer.

AN - 21251399; 11703586 AB - Risk characterization involves hazard identification, determination of dose-response relationships, and exposure assessment. Improvement of the risk assessment process requires inclusion of the best available science. Recent findings in the area of dioxin toxicity have led to a major effort to reassess its risk. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), commonly referred to as "dioxin," is the most toxic member of a class of related chemicals including the polyhalogenated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans, biphenyls, naphthalenes, azo- and azoxy-benzenes, whose toxicities can be expressed as fractional equivalencies of TCDD. These chemicals exert their effects through interaction with a specific intracellular protein, the Ah receptor. While binding to the receptor is necessary, it is not sufficient to bring about a chain of events leading to various responses including enzyme induction, immunotoxicity, reproductive and endocrine effects, developmental toxicity, chloracne, tumor promotion, etc. Some of these responses appear to be linear at low doses. Immunotoxicity and effects on the reproductive system appear to be among the most sensitive responses. The Ah receptor functions as a transcriptional enhancer, interacting with a number of other regulatory proteins (heat shock proteins, kinases, translocases, DNA binding species). Interaction with specific base sequences in the DNA appear to be modulated by the presence of other growth factors, hormones and their receptors as well as other regulatory proteins. Thus, dioxin appears to function as a hormone, initiating a cascade of events that is dependent upon the environment of each cell and tissue. While Ah receptor variants exist, all vertebrates examined have demonstrated such a protein with similar numbers of receptors and binding affinity for TCDD. Most species respond similarly to dioxin and related compounds. While a given species may be an outlier for a given response, it will behave like other animals for other responses. For both in vivo and in vitro end points where animal and human data exist, such as enzyme induction, chloracne, immunotoxicity, developmental toxicity, and cancer, the sensitivity of humans appears similar to that of experimental animals. Current levels of environmental exposure to this class of chemicals may be resulting in subtle responses in populations at special risk such as subsistence fisherman and the developing infant, as well as in the general population. Increased understanding of the mechanism of dioxin's effects as well as elucidation of exposure-dose relationships is leading to the development of a biologically based dose-response model in the ongoing process of incorporating the best science into the risk assessment of TCDD and related compounds.

AN - 21251374; 11703574 AB - Elemental boron was isolated in 1808. It typically occurs in nature as borates hydrated with varying amounts of water. Important compounds are boric acid and borax. Boron compounds are also used in the production of metals, enamels, and glasses. In trace amounts, boron is essential for the growth of many plants, and is found in animal and human tissues at low concentrations. Poisoning in humans has been reported as the result of accidental ingestion or use of large amounts in the treatment of burns. Boron as boric acid is fairly rapidly absorbed and excreted from the body via urine. The half-life of boric acid in humans is on the order of 1 day. Boron does not appear to accumulate in soft tissues of animals, but does accumulate in bone. Normal levels of boron in soft tissues, urine, and blood generally range from less than 0.05 ppm to no more than 10 ppm. In poisoning incidents, the amount of boric acid in brain and liver tissue has been reported to be as high as 2000 ppm. Recent studies at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have indicated that boron may contribute to reduced fertility in male rodents fed 9000 ppm of boric acid in feed. Within a few days, boron levels in blood and most soft tissues quickly reached a plateau of about 15 ppm. Boron in bone did not appear to plateau, reaching 47 ppm after 7 days on the diet. Cessation of exposure to dietary boron resulted in a rapid drop in bone boron.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Moseman, R F AD - Radian Corporation, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.

AN - 21251062; 11703576 AB - Previous studies on the reproductive toxicity of boric acid have indicated that male rodents suffer testicular atrophy after treatment. There were, however, no studies of the potential effects on female fertility or on the neonate. In addition, no study described the development of the testicular lesion, thought to be related to the mechanism of toxicity. A Reproductive Assessment by Continuous Breeding (RACB) study using mice exposed to boric acid at 1000, 4500, and 9000 ppm in the diet indicated that there are probably multiple sites of action, although male fertility appears very sensitive. Possible effects on female fertility cannot be separated from potential developmental toxicity and need additional investigation. Decrements in sperm motility were observed at all exposure levels, and testicular atrophy was confirmed in high- and middle-dose-group males. This was investigated further by timed serial-sacrifice studies using 9000 ppm in the diet of rats, which found that the first lesion seen in the testis was an inhibition of spermiation (release of mature spermatids). With continued dosing, this was followed by a disorganization of the normal ordered layering of the seminiferous epithelium, germ cell sloughing and death, and finally, atrophy. Subsequent studies using additional doses (2000, 3000, 4500, 6000, and 9000 ppm) found that it was possible to observe inhibited spermiation that did not progress to atrophy (4500 ppm and below) within the 9-week exposure period.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Images Figure 1.

Immunogenicity determined by immunization of rabbits with the vaccine in Freund's complete adjuvant and measuring anti-LPS and anti-CTB antibody titers in the serum by an ELISA was also found to be unaltered. Lyophilization of the vaccine and storage at room temperature for 7 days also did not have any adverse effect on antigen content or immunogenicity as tested above. There was up to one log reduction in serum antibody titers after immunization without using any adjuvant or using Freund's incomplete adjuvant, and up to two logs following oral immunization. Immunization by oral feeding of the vaccine followed by RITARD challenge with a virulent V. cholerae O1 strain showed evidence of protection against severe or lethal diarrhea. The results suggest that the vaccine retains its antigen content and ability to induce antibodies unchanged when maintained at elevated temperatures for relatively long periods of time.

CRS Report for Congress. AN - 62728961; ED379792 AB - The Improving America's Schools Act of 1994 (IASA) was signed into law on October 20, 1994, as P.L. 103-382. The legislation reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) through fiscal year 1999. The ESEA authorizes most federal elementary and secondary education programs, including the Title I program to provide compensatory education to educationally disadvantaged students. It also amends other legislation and establishes new programs outside of the ESEA. The amendments made to the ESEA reflect the following themes: (1) the creation of linkages between major ESEA programs and systemic education reform; (2) increased administrative flexibility for states, localities, and schools; (3) a new focus on several areas of emerging educational and social interest; and (4) somewhat greater targeting on students and schools with high needs. Among the major programs amended or established are the Title I program, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Professional Development program, the Technology for Education of All Students, the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, the Bilingual Education Act, the Public Charter Schools program, the Fund for the Improvement of Education, the Innovative Education Program Strategies, and Impact Aid. Appendices summarize funding levels for ESEA and IASA programs and compare provisions in prior law with the ESEA (as amended by the IASA). Four tables are included. (LMI) AU - Stedman, James B.

It briefly considers the educational context within which the 103d Congress acted to convert the Dwight D. Eisenhower Mathematics and Science Education Act into the current program covering a much broader array of subject areas and briefly reviews the structure of the program under prior law. Provisions of the current program are delineated with particular attention to the curricular areas covered; the allocation of funding; and activities at the federal, state, local, and higher education levels. Finally, several issues likely to affect future development of the program are analyzed, including the level of the annual appropriation; the ability of local educational agencies to provide high quality, sustained, intensive professional development; and the growing demand for professional development as curriculum content standards are established in each of the core subject areas of English, math, science, foreign languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history, and geography.

AN - 77716991; 7846306 AB - We use the available information about concentrations of dioxin in highly exposed humans along with estimates of the half-life of dioxin and durations of exposure to calculate lifetime average daily doses (LADDs) of dioxin in those populations. We compare those LADDs to the LADDs of dioxin used in rodent carcinogen tests, and we also compare the tissue levels of dioxin in exposed humans and the test rodents. Using the maximum likelihood estimate of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) calculated potency factor for the carcinogenicity of dioxin, we calculate the number of cancers that dioxin might be expected to cause in the exposed human populations. If dioxin causes an increase in total cancers or of a common cancer such as lung cancer, the calculated expected increases in cancer are below the limit of detectability in epidemiologic studies. If, on the other hand, dioxin causes a tumor with incidence comparable to that of soft tissue sarcomas, the calculated expected increases should be detectable in dioxin-exposed chemical workers and in the Seveso population. Our calculations lead to the conclusion that the failure of epidemiology to produce convincing evidence of any chronic human health effects from dioxin probably results from the relatively low exposures experienced by humans. From our analyses, there is no reason to allude to differential sensitivities between test animals and humans to explain the lack of convincing evidence for dioxin causing human cancers.

Fiscal Years 1980 to 1994. AN - 62746011; ED378235 AB - This report attempts to provide a comprehensive picture of total Federal financial support for education since fiscal year 1980. To give as complete a picture as possible, support from agencies other than the Department of Education has been included. To the extent possible, outlays (rather than amounts committed) are used, with the exception of funds for academic research at institutions of higher education. Federal education funding is divided into on-budget support, off-budget support, and non-Federal funds generated by Federal programs. Current and constant dollar comparisons are also used. Federal support for education, excluding estimated Federal tax expenditures, was an estimated $87.6 billion in fiscal year (FY) 1994, an increase of $24.8 billion (39%) since FY 1990. After adjustment for inflation, Federal support increased 22% between FY 1990 and FY 1994. Over 59% of this support, excluding estimated federal tax expenditures, went to educational institutions, and another 17% went to student support. The remainder went to lending agencies, libraries, museums, and Federal institutions. Schools and colleges derive about 11% of their revenues from the Federal government. Nine tables and three figures illustrate the discussion. Six appendixes give detailed tables of estimated support categories. Appendices provide six more tables of data.

The BPS study is a departure from previous studies in that it starts with a cohort of individuals as they enter their postsecondary studies regardless of when they completed high school. As a result, information is becoming available about nontraditional students who have delayed the completion of their education. All types of postsecondary students (academic, vocational/occupational, and technical) are included and can be represented in known proportions. An introduction considers the background, purposes, and scheduled products of the BPS study. Chapter 2 describes study design and method. Operating control systems implemented for the study are described in chapter 3. Details and descriptions of data locating and collection activities and outcomes are given in chapter 4, and data quality is examined in chapter 5. Supporting documentation is presented in four appendixes. Eight figures and 42 tables contain information about conducting the study. (SLD) AU - Pratt, Daniel J.

Data used are from the Institutional Characteristics survey of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Tables 1-6 A-C cover postsecondary schools, including 4-year, 2-year, and less-than-2-year institutions, both academic, occupational, and vocational. Tables 7 through 12 A-C are limited to higher education institutions. The tables offer data on numbers of institutions, average institutional charges, percent change in charges, and number of institutions offering a selection of student services. Highlights of the data include: (1) over 10,500 schools in the United States and outlying areas offered some level of postsecondary education and of these 43 percent were less-than-2-year private, for-profit institutions offering occupational programs; (2) nearly 2,800 schools offered programs at the baccalaureate level or higher; (3) four states list more than 500 postsecondary schools each: California, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas; (4) public institutions are more likely to offer student services than private nonprofit schools; (5) more than half of all postsecondary institutions offer academic/career counseling services, placement services for program completers, and employment services for current students while nearly half offer access for the mobility impaired.

A Synthesis of Findings from NAEP's 1992 Mathematics Assessment. AN - 62736098; ED377058 AB - This booklet summarizes findings from data on mathematics achievement gathered on the 1992 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) for grades 4, 8, and 12. Approximately 26,000 4th, 8th, and 12th graders in 1,500 public and private schools participated in the national assessment. Information included in the report are: trends in achievement between 1990 and 1992, distribution of overall mathematics proficiency organized by state for grades 4, 8, and 12, performance on and examples of constructed-response questions, national results for demographic subgroups on two regular constructed-response tasks and an extended-response task, example of an extended-response task with scoring guide and sample responses, the school context for learning mathematics, trends and trouble spots in mathematics instruction, school effectiveness, background questionnaires, and procedures and methods. Findings for the performance of students on extended constructed-response questions include: (1) Approximately one-third to two-thirds of the students provided incorrect responses; (2) Substantial percentages of students left their papers blank; (3) Most students who did seem to understand the problems had difficulty explaining their work; and (4) From 1 to 16 percent of the students provided extended responses to each one of the tasks. On regular constructed-response questions, the average percentage correct by grade level was 42% for grade 4, 53% for grade 8, and 40% for grade 12. (MKR) AU - Mullis, Ina V.

Research and Development Report. AN - 62735018; ED377059 AB - This research report provides information about the school context for learning mathematics and highlights some factors that National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) analyses have found to be associated with effective schooling. Approximately 26,000 4th, 8th, and 12th graders in 1,500 public and private schools participated in the national assessment of mathematics. Data reported from questionnaire responses of students and school principals relate to school socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, student absenteeism, students changing schools, school problems and climate, high schools where students are college bound, impetuses for curriculum and instructional change, home support for academic achievement, mathematics classroom instruction, tracking, and course taking in grades 8 and 12. The most effective schools had students who watched less television, changed schools less often, were subject to only a moderate amount of testing in their mathematics classes (weekly to monthly), took more advanced courses, had positive attitudes toward academics, had fewer problems in the schools, and did mathematics and used calculators more frequently. The effectiveness of private schools was similar to that of public schools in which students, teachers, and parents have positive attitudes toward academics, and where few problems exist. At grades 4 and 8, a more stable student body with students who changed schools fewer times was associated with higher school effectiveness. In summary, students' home background and school socioeconomic indicators were powerful influences on academic achievement in mathematics. (MKR) AU - Mullis, Ina V.

Profiles of the Prison Population from the National Adult Literacy Survey. AN - 62733586; ED377325 AB - During the National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS), trained staff interviewed nearly 1,150 inmates in 80 federal and state prisons that had been randomly selected to represent prisons across the country. Survey participants completed diverse literacy tasks and answered questions regarding demographic characteristics, educational background, and reading practices. The interview findings were synthesized into a report focusing on inmates' literacy skills, experiences before and during improvement, recidivism, and literacy practices and self-perception. Among the study's major findings were the following: approximately 7 in 10 prisoners surveyed performed at levels 1 and 2 of the prose, document, and quantitative scales of the NALS; prisoners' reading proficiencies were substantially lower than those of the general household population; prisoners' educational attainment was highly correlated with literacy proficiency; White inmates demonstrated higher levels of proficiency than Black inmates, who, in turn, demonstrated higher levels of proficiency than Hispanic inmates; and 36% of prisoners reported having at least one disability compared with 26% of the general household population. (Appended are the following: information on interpreting the literacy scales, tables, overview of procedures used in the NALS, definitions of all subpopulations and variables reported, and names/addresses of participants in the development process. Fifty-six tables/figures are included.) (MN) AU - Haigler, Karl O.

AN - 62733201; ED377057 AB - This report of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) focuses on students' and teachers' reports about the classroom contexts for learning school mathematics in the top-performing one-third of schools compared to the bottom performing one-third. In 1990, 26,652 students from 1,237 schools participated in the study, while in 1992, 26,669 students from 1,582 schools were included. Data presented relate to program and curricular emphases, mathematics teachers and their classes, instructional approaches, calculators and computers, students' perceptions about mathematics, and students' mathematics course taking. Major findings were that in the two-year period from 1990 to 1992 the following signs of progress were noted: (1) Students reported taking more advanced coursework; (2) Teachers reported moving toward a more broadly-based curriculum; (3) Students and teachers reported more access to and use of calculators and computers; (4) Students were doing more daily problem solving from their textbooks; and (5) Students reported more positive attitudes about the value of mathematics. On the other hand, teachers continued to report discrepancies in resource availability and expectations between top- and bottom-performing schools, and teachers and students reported very little change in the frequency with which students were asked to engage in extended problem-solving activity. An appendix contains an overview of procedures used in NAEP's 1992 Mathematics Assessment. (MKR) AU - Dossey, John A.

Invocations in the form of benedictions of ancestors (la'tuk) are constructed from four speech activities: addressing, appealing, giving examples, & argumentation. Invocations assume shared experiences between the speaker & the ancestor personified by a living member of his/her family. Both analogies to & differences from normal dialogue are found in these invocations. Four ways in which pragmatic concerns affect the understanding of invocations are discussed. 7 References.

AN - 21268686; 11703568 AB - To elucidate the cause of the difference in genotoxic activity between carcinogenic 3-methoxy-4-aminoazobenzene (3-MeO-AAB) and noncarcinogenic 2-methoxy-4-aminoazobenzene (2-MeO-AAB), we analyzed DNA adducts in the livers of rats exposed to either of these chemicals and studied the resulting biologic potential with the aid of in vitro modified M13 phage DNA. 32P-Postalbeling analysis revealed that the carcinogen 3-MeO-AAB produced 20-fold higher amounts of adducts than did 2-MeO-AAB. Five adducts were formed in the 3-MeO-AAB case whereas only one adduct was apparent in 2-MeO-AAB-treated rat. Studies of in vitro DNA replication using N-hydroxy (N-OH)-aminoazo dye-modified M13 phage DNA as a template demonstrated inhibition by 3-MeO-AAB adducts to be substantially greater than in the 2-MeO-AAB-adducts. The specificity of mutagenesis induced in M13mp9 phage DNA by these chemicals also was analyzed after transfection into SOS-induced Escherichia coli JM103, mutation frequencies being higher with N-OH-3-MeO-AAB- than N-OH-2-MeO-AAB-modified DNA. The mutation spectra differed in each case. Our data suggest that the difference in hepatocarcinogenic activity between the two chemicals depends not only on qualitative and quantitative variation in adduct formation but also on conformation changes in modified DNA.

AN - 21264341; 11703565 AB - The modulation by dietary fat levels of intestine carcinogenesis is well documented. New developments suggest that calcium ions may also play a role. A rapid bioassay, the induction of foci of aberrant crypts in the colon, was used to explore the interaction between dietary fat and calcium. Male F344 rats 6 weeks of age were placed on diets containing 5 or 20% corn oil, and 0.04 or 0.32% calcium ion, as calcium lactate. Each dietary group was fed 400 ppm 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhlP), and negative controls received the diets alone. A positive control group was given 2 mg N-nitrosomethylurea (NMU) intrarectally four times in a 2-week period. All rats were killed after 9 weeks. The intestinal tract was rinsed with Krebs-Ringer buffer. After staining a 6-cm segment of the descending colon and rectum with 0.2% methylene blue, foci of aberrant crypts were evaluated microscopically. With PhlP as a carcinogen, the rats on a high-fat, low-calcium level had more foci of aberrant crypts than animals on a low-fat level. With the higher calcium level, there were fewer foci and aberrant crypts, but the effect of fat was still significant. With NMU and a low-calcium level, the effect of fat level was evident. However, with the higher calcium intake, there were considerably more foci of aberrant crypts than on the low-calcium level, and the effect of the dietary fat level was not obvious.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Weisburger, J H AU - Braley, J AU - Reinhardt, J AU - Aliaga, C AU - Rivenson, A AU - Hard, G C AU - Zhang, X M AU - Takahashi, M AU - Esumi, H AU - Sugimura, T AD - American Health Foundation, Valhalla, New York 10595-1599.

AN - 21261649; 11701648 AB - The growth of preneoplastic nodules during the feeding of a carcinogenic 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) regimen is preceded by several alterations in the physiologic homeostasis. Many of these alterations can be considered adaptive responses to the drug exposure. One property of AAF could be identified that clearly distinguishes this complete rat liver carcinogen from at least two other, incomplete rat liver carcinogens. Highly specific redox cycling in mitochondria was demonstrated in vitro, and this observation could well contribute an explanation of the morphologic and histochemical observations in vivo. It is emphasized that nongenotoxic effects may play an important role in the generation of tumors by genotoxic carcinogens.

AN - 21261509; 11703552 AB - More complex environmental mixtures have been evaluated for mutagenic activity at the hisD3052 allele of Salmonella, primarily in strain TA98, than in any other target or mutation assay. Using colony probe hybridization to detect a common hot spot deletion, followed by polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing, we have generated 10 mutation spectra from three classes of mixtures (i.e., urban air, cigarette smoke condensate, and municipal waste incinerator emissions). The mutation spectra are distinctly different among the three classes of mixtures; however, the spectra for samples within the same class of mixture are similar. In addition to the hot spot mutation, the mixtures induce complex mutations, which consist of a small deletion and a base substitution. These mutations suggest a mechanism involving misinsertion of a base opposite a DNA adduct followed by a slippage and mismatch. A role for DNA secondary structure also may be the basis for the mutational site specificity exhibited by the various mixtures. The results suggest that unique mutation spectra can be generated by different classes of complex mixtures and that such spectra are a consequence of the dominance of a particular chemical class or classes within the mixture. The problems associated with this type of research are discussed along with the potential value of mutation spectra as a tool for exposure and risk assessment.

AN - 21260560; 11701634 AB - The dissolution rate of glass fibers has been shown to be pH sensitive using in vitro lung fluid simulant models. The current study investigated whether there is a difference in phagosomal pH (ppH) between rat alveolar macrophages (AM) and rat nasal epithelial cells (RNEC) and whether such a difference would influence the dissolution of glass fibers. The ppH was measured in cultured AM and RNEC using flow cytometric, fluorescence-emission rationing techniques with fluorescein-labeled, amorphous silica particles. Glass fiber dissolution was determined in AM and RNEC cultured for 3 weeks with fast dissolving glass fibers (GF-A) or slow dissolving ones (GF-B). The mean diameters of GF-A were 2.7 microns and of GF-B, 2.6 microns, the average length of both fibers was approximately 22 to 25 microns. Dissolution was monitored by measuring the length and diameter of intracellular fibers and estimating the volume, assuming a cylindrical morphology. The ppH of AM was 5.2 to 5.8, and the ppH of RNEC was 7.0 to 7.5. The GF-A dissolved more slowly in RNEC than in AM, and no dissolution was evident in either cell type with GF-B. The volume loss with GF-A after a 3-week culture with AM was 66% compared to 45% for cultured RNEC. These results are different from those obtained using in vitro lung fluid-simulant models where dissolution is faster at higher pH. This difference suggests that dissolution rates of glass fibers in AM should not be applied to the dissolution of fibers in epithelial cells.

AN - 21260404; 11703559 AB - A preliminary study at the institut National de l'Environnement Industriel et des Risques (INERIS) examined the dissolution of three man-made vitreous fiber samples (glasswool, rockwool, glass microfibers: JM 100) after intraperitoneal injections in male Wistar rats. The chemical composition of the original fibers was determined by inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP). The urine of the rats was collected at fixed times between day 1 and day 204, and the ICP was used to look for elements known to be present in the original fibers. At day 204, a piece of omentum was removed at autopsy, ashed and analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) to identify the elements remaining in the fibers. Silicon and aluminium were retained in the fibers from all samples at day 204. Losses in calcium, sodium, magnesium, and sulfur were observed, but these elements were not studied in the urine samples because they are naturally present in relatively high concentrations in rat cells and biological fluids. Although there was a loss of zinc from the glass microfibers, no corresponding difference was observed between the zinc levels excreted by the treated animals and by the controls. Similarly, despite the loss of manganese from the rockwool fibers at day 204, none was detectable in the urine samples. Titanium, present at the 0.3% level in rockwool, was not detectable by EDXA at day 204, but small quantities were detected in the first 2 weeks in the urine samples of rats treated with rockwool.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Wastiaux, A AU - Blanchard, O AU - Honnons, S AD - Institut National de l'Environnement Industriel et des Risques (INERIS), Verneuil-en-Halatte, France.

AN - 21260114; 11703550 AB - Between 1979 and 1985, an international technical focus was placed upon potential human health effects associated with exposure to diesel emissions. A substantial data base was developed on the composition of diesel emissions; the fate of these emissions in the atmosphere; and the effects of whole particles and their chemical constituents on microorganisms, cells, and animals. Since that time, a number of significant developments have been made in diesel engine technology that require a new look at the future acceptability of introducing significant numbers of light-duty diesel automobiles into the European and American markets. Significant engineering improvements have been made in engine design, catalysts, and traps. As a result, particle emissions and particle associated organic emissions have been reduced by about 10 and 30 times, respectively, during the past 10 years. Research studies to help assess the environmental acceptability of these fuel-efficient engines include the development of an emissions data base for current and advanced diesel engines, the effect of diesel emissions on urban ozone formation and atmospheric particle concentrations, the effect of fuel composition, e.g., lower sulfur and additives on emissions, animal inhalation toxicology studies, and fundamental molecular biology studies.

AN - 21259120; 11701636 AB - At the same time that carcinogenicity of very thin glass fibers after intrapleural and intraperitoneal (ip) administration was demonstrated (1,2) researchers found that gypsum fibers and HCI-leached chrysotile fibers were easily soluble in the peritoneal cavity. This led to the conclusion that the chemical composition of fibers was not responsible for the carcinogenesis but that the degree of carcinogenic potency of a fiber depended on the extent to which it retained its fibrous structure. A thin glass fiber with a low biodurability did not induce tumors after ip injection of a high dose, although the ip test had been criticized for being "overly sensitive." The ip model has been the most successful for determining carcinogenicity of inorganic fibers and establishing dose-response relationships; but to determine the possibilities and limitations of this test model, very high doses of nonfibrous silicon carbide and of a slightly durable glass fiber type were injected ip in Wistar rats. No obviously acute or chronic toxic effect was observed in 90 weeks, but there was a 40% incidence of serosal tumors in the group treated with glass fibers. A pilot study on the persistence of slag fibers in the omentum of rats after ip injection showed a half-time of about 1 year. It was calculated that an ip injection of 10(9) fibers would lead to a concentration of fiber numbers in the ash of the omentum in the same range as the concentration in the lung after 2 years of inhalation exposure. The long-term inhalation study with fibers in rats has been called the "gold standard" for risk characterization.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Pott, F AU - Roller, M AU - Kamino, K AU - Bellmann, B AD - Medical Institute of Environmental Hygiene, Heinrich-Heine-Universitat Dusseldorf, Germany.

AN - 21259104; 11701632 AB - The effect of different chemical compositions of man-made vitreous fibers (MMVF) on their dissolution by alveolar macrophages (AM) in culture and in Gamble's solution was studied. The fibers were exposed to cultured rat AMs, culture medium alone; or Gamble's saline solution for 2, 4, or 8 days. The dissolution of the fibers was studied by measuring the amount of silicon (Si), iron (Fe), and aluminum (Al) in each medium. The AMs in culture dissolved Fe and Al from the fibers but the dissolution of Si was more marked in the cell culture medium without cells and in the Gamble's solution. The dissolution of Si, Fe, and Al was different for different fibers, and increased as a function of time. The Fe and Al content of the fibers correlated negatively with the dissolution of Si by AMs from the MMVF, i.e., when the content of Fe and Al of the fibers increased the dissolution of Si decreased. These results suggest that the chemical composition of MMVFs has a marked effect on their dissolution. AMs seem to affect the dissolution of Fe and Al from the fibers. This suggests that in vitro models with cells in the media rather than only culture media or saline solutions would be preferable in dissolution studies of MMVFs.

AN - 21258875; 11703569 AB - The carcinogenic and mutagenic effects of the aromatic amines are believed to depend on their covalent modification of DNA, primarily through the formation of adducts at C8 of guanine. The actual biologic and biochemical responses to these adducts can be envisioned as the consequence of the abilities of the cell to repair the lesions, with or without fidelity, and the introduction of errors through bypass of the adducts by polymerases. A key question is whether changes in DNA sequence arise through the participation of common repair processes that cause mutations independent of adduct structure. Alternatively, do mutations arise through miscoding during polymerase bypass at the site of the adducts and are, therefore, more likely to produce sequence changes that are more characteristic of adduct structure? This question has been approached using single, site-specific, or randomly introduced aromatic amine DNA adducts in bacterial cells, and in vitro studies with DNA polymerases that employ site-specifically modified templates. The results of both approaches demonstrate that these adducts are distinguished readily by virtue of their structures, thus supporting the conclusion that mutagenic effects of the aromatic amines arise from their structures rather than from their triggering a common inaccurate repair response.

AN - 21258850; 11703560 AB - Fiber dimension and durability are recognized as important features in influencing the development of pulmonary carcinogenic and fibrogenic effects. Using a short-term inhalation bioassay, we have studied pulmonary deposition and clearance patterns and evaluated and compared the pulmonary toxicity of two previously tested reference materials, an inhaled organic fiber, Kevlar para-aramid fibrils, and an inorganic fiber, wollastonite. Rats were exposed for 5 days to aerosols of Kevlar fibrils (900-1344 f/cc; 9-11 mg/m3) or wollastonite fibers (800 f/cc; 115 mg/m3). The lungs of exposed rats were digested to quantify dose, fiber dimensional changes over time, and clearance kinetics. The results showed that inhaled wollastonite fibers were cleared rapidly with a retention half-time of & 1 week. Mean fiber lengths decreased from 11 microns to 6 microns over a 1-month period, and fiber diameters increased from 0.5 micron to 1.0 micron in the same time. Fiber clearance studies with Kevlar showed a transient increase in the numbers of retained fibrils at 1 week postexposure, with rapid clearance of fibers thereafter, and retention half-time of 30 days. A progressive decrease in the mean lengths from 12.5 microns to 7.5 microns and mean diameters from 0.33 micron to 0.23 micron was recorded 6 months after exposure to inhaled Kevlar fibrils. The percentages of fibers > 15 microns in length decreased from 30% immediately after exposure to 5% after 6 months; the percentages of fibers in the 4 to 7 microns range increased from 25 to 55% in the same period.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Images Figure 4.

AN - 21257455; 11701631 AB - The dissolution of textile glass fibers of four different compositions has been investigated at 37 degrees C. In these glasses, which are isolation type, the P2O5 contents scatter between 0 and 2 wt% and Al2O3 from 0.12 to 3.4 wt%. Both static (30-mg fibers; 250-ml solution) and dynamic (50-mg fibers; 40 ml/day flow rate) conditions with or without bubbling of a gas mixture (95:5, N2-CO2) have been used. Two physiological solutions, one proposed by Kanapilly and the other by Scholtze, were used. After each run (1, 3, 7, 14, and sometimes 30, 62 days) the solutions were analyzed for B and Si by inductively coupled plasma (ICP), the weight losses were determined, and the residual solid were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Static runs give a better agreement between measured and calculated weight losses from solution analyses than dynamic experiments. SEM examinations indicate diameter reduction and formation of a hydrated Si-rich layer. Sometimes hollow tubes, suggesting the detachment of these layers, are observed. XPS and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis indicate the formation of a veneer of calcium phosphate for the most rapidly dissolving glass. In other cases an Al increase is observed at the solid solution interface. Whatever experimental conditions are used, the relative dissolution rates of the four glasses are identical. The kinetics may be modeled with variable dissolution rates from initial high values to final low ones. The latter reflect the very low solubility of the residual product.

The percentage of plaques was 41%, versus 7.5% in the control village of Vezzani. Although surface deposits contain both chrysotile and tremolite, airborne pollution and asbestos lung burden of exposed inhabitants consist essentially of tremolite as assessed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). However, TEM analysis of the parietal pleura of three animals bred in exposed areas showed a predominance of short fibers of chrysotile. The respective roles of tremolite and chrysotile in inducing pleural plaques in Corsica should thus be considered.aEnviron Health Perspect 102(Suppl 5):251a252 (1994) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Rey, F AU - Boutin, C AU - Viallat, J R AU - Steinbauer, J AU - Alessandroni, P AU - Jutisz, P AU - Di Giambattista, D AU - Billon-Galland, MA AU - Hereng, P AU - Dumortier, P AU - De Vuyst, P Y1 - 1994/10// PY - 1994 DA - Oct 1994 SP - 251 EP - 252 PB - US Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, P.O.

AN - 21251756; 11701642 AB - Mutagenic heterocyclic amines are generated in foods when they are cooked at temperatures over 150 degrees C. These compounds are present from 0.1 to 50 ppb, depending on the food and cooking conditions. These heterocyclic amines are not only present in cooked red meat, fish, and chicken, but are also present at lower levels in baked and fried foods derived from grain. Mutagenicity of fried beef hamburgers cooked at 230 degrees C is 800 +/- 37 TA98 revertants per gram cooked weight. We measured 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MelQx), 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (DiMelQx), and 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) formation at this temperature and found 3.0 +/- 2.0, 1.0 +/- 0.18, and 0.06 +/- 0.03 ng/g, respectively. 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidaz[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) was found at a higher concentration of 9.6 ng/g. In our laboratory we have shown these heterocyclic amines are capable of producing both reverse and forward mutations in Salmonella bacteria and forward mutations in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO). We have also been able to show a statistically significant increase in mutations in the pancreas of the "mutamouse" following PhIP exposure. The pancreas also shows relatively high DNA binding compared to other organs in the mouse. The number and type of mutations depend on the repair capacity of the cells for both Salmonella and CHO. In Salmonella the mutations are primarily 2-base deletions when the cells lack uvrB repair, but mutations are more complex (larger deletions and insertions) but lower in frequency when repair is functional.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Felton, J S AU - Knize, M G AU - Dolbeare, F A AU - Wu, R AD - Biology and Biotechnology Research Program, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, California.

AN - 21251653; 11703561 AB - Lung burden analysis was performed on 126 autopsy cases of persons who died in New York City from 1966 through 1968. Of the 126 cases, 107 were probably non-occupationally exposed, judging by occupational history and asbestos body content of lung. Fifty-three of the 107 cases contained short chrysotile fibers/fibrils, & 5 microns in length, present in 3-fold greater amounts than were found in laboratory background controls. The fiber concentrations ranged from 1.8 to 15.7 x 10(6) f/gm/dry lung tissue, and the proportion of fibers > or = 5 microns in length was only 0.34% of the total chrysotile population found. Other inorganic particles present included fragments of amphiboles. In contrast to these data, the lung parenchyma of persons occupationally exposed to asbestos commonly showed the presence of other fiber types, especially amosite and crocidolite, at very much higher concentrations and greater fiber length. Any chrysotile present would usually be in fiber bundle form, with both fibers and fibrils > 5 microns in length. Comparison of the lung fiber content of occupationally exposed persons with that of the general population showed marked qualitative and quantitative differences. Fibers are durable, and are retained in a range of concentrations. Their length and dose, among other factors, which control their biological potential are different in the two populations; the risk factors for chrysotile-induced disease are not the same.

AN - 21251646; 11701627 AB - The air monitoring system in Upper Silesia has provided abundant data on airborne pollutants. Air quality in this region is bad: a concentration of several gases, volatile compounds, metals, and complex mixtures of organic compounds carried by small particulate matter exceeds both daily and yearly admissible levels. About 250 individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbonds (PAHs) were identified in airborne pollutants, and hundreds of not identified compounds are seen on gas chromatographic profiles as minor peaks. Among PAHs are present compounds with known carcinogenic potency for humans. Seasonal variation with distinctly lower concentration of pollutants in summer than in winter was noticed. Fifteen PAHs including benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) determined by GC-MS method in 20 measuring points showed constant relative proportions. Thus B[a]P could be used as a representative compound for other PAHs. In urban areas, a core of Silesia values for B[a]P concentration ranged from 60 to 90 ng/m3 in winter to 5 to 20 micrograms/m in summer. Mutagenicity tested on Salmonella strains showed seasonal variation with distinctly higher values in winter. Environmentally exposed humans showed a higher level of PAH-DNA adducts in WBC than the control population from rural area. Total organic extract of small particulate matter exhibited both direct and indirect mutagenic activity, induced formation of micronuclei in bone marrow cells of BALB/c mice, induced chromosomal rearrangements, and increased sister chromatid exchange index.

AN - 21251641; 11703555 AB - There is now a substantial body of experimental data on the pulmonary biopersistence of man-made vitreous silicate fibers (MMVSF), but human data are seriously lacking. Our knowledge in this field is essentially limited to a few reports of measurements of fibers retained in lung tissue samples taken at autopsy from workers manufacturing these products. Three types of exposure were studied: fibrous glass, mineral wool, and refractory ceramic fibers. Overall, the available data do not provide evidence for substantial long-term retention of fibers in the human lung after occupational exposure to MMVSF dusts. A word of caution, however; the amount of data supporting the previous statement is much greater for fibrous glass than for either mineral wool or refractory ceramic fibers. There is no human data on the key question of the kinetics of pulmonary clearance of inhaled MMVSF.

AN - 21251500; 11701646 AB - 4-Dimethylaminophenol (DMAP) is a suitable cyanide antidote that rapidly forms ferrihemoglobin by catalytic transfer of electrons from ferrohemoglobin to oxygen. Deleterious methemoglobinemia, because of the catalytic cycling, is prevented by side reactions of oxidized DMAP with thiols, particularly with glutathione (GSH). In human red cells, both in vitro and in vivo, the formation of a transient bis-glutathione and a stable tris-glutathione adduct was observed. To investigate the reactivity of GSH adducts of DMAP, we synthesized various thioethers by oxidizing DMAP with PbO2 in 0.1 M sulfuric acid followed by reaction with GSH. The following compounds were isolated and characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy and determination of the pK values: 4-dimethylamino-2-(glutathione-S-yl)-phenol (2-GS-DMAP), 4-dimethylamino-3-(glutathione-S-yl)-phenol (3-GS-DMAP), 4-dimethylamino-2,5-bis(glutathione-S-yl)-phenol (2,5-bis GS-DMAP), 4-dimethylamino-2,6-bis(glutathione-S-yl)-phenol (2,6-bis GS-DMAP), and 4-dimethylamino-2,3,6-tris(glutathione-S-yl)-phenol (2,3,6-tris GS-DMAP). Ferrihemoglobin-forming activity was investigated with oxyhemoglobin, alkylated with N-ethylmaleimide (Hb-NES) to prevent binding of oxidized compounds to the protein SH groups. DMAP, 2,6-bis-GS-DMAP, and 2-GS-DMAP (0.1 mM each) completely oxidized Hb-NES (0.6 mM) in a decreasing order of activity (pH 7.4, 37 degrees C, air); the other derivatives were quite inactive. The same thioether reactivity was observed during autoxidation. Ferrihemoglobin formation by the reactive thioethers was greatly enhanced when the oxygen tension was increased from 2 to 100%. In contrast, variation of the oxygen tension had only marginal effects on the activity of DMAP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Ludwig, E AU - Eyer, P AD - Walther-Straub-Institut fur Pharmakologie und Toxikologie, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen, Germany.

AN - 21251488; 11701633 AB - The lung contents of six workers who had been occupationally exposed to chrysotile asbestos were examined. Five were lung cancer cases from Quebec, Canada. The sixth, an American worker who had developed pleural mesothelioma, was particularly interesting, with the lung content strikingly distinct from the Canadian cases; chrysotile, the predominant fiber in his lung, was present at a concentration 300 times that of the average total fiber content in the Canadian cases. The fiber length distribution of the chrysotile recovered from the U.S. mesothelioma case was indistinguishable from that of chrysotile specimens known to produce mesotheliomas in rats. It was also found that the characteristics of the calcium-magnesium-iron silicate fibers present in all six cases were not readily comparable to tremolite asbestos specimens known to induce mesotheliomas in animals.

AN - 21251430; 11701638 AB - Deposition, clearance, retention, and durability of inhaled particles in lung are important factors for induction of pulmonary fibrosis or lung cancer. To study the deposition and clearance of aluminium silicate ceramic fibers from the lung, male Wistar rats were exposed to ceramic fibers, with a mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of 3.7 microns, for 6 hr/day, 5 days/week for 2 weeks. The average exposure concentration was 27.2 mg/m3 (SD 9.0). The rats were killed at 1 day, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the end of exposure, and the fiber numbers and dimensions were measured with a scanning electron microscope. No significant difference in length of residual ceramic fibers in the lungs was found among the groups. The geometric mean diameter and number of ceramic fibers, however, decreased according to the clearance period. These findings suggest that the fibers were dissolved at their surface.

AN - 21251355; 11703548 AB - A major field study was conducted in Boise, Idaho, during the heating season of 1986 to 1987 as part of the Integrated Air Cancer Project. Filter samples were systematically collected in residences and in the ambient air across the community to characterize the particle-bound pollutants. The extractable organic matter (EOM) from the filter samples was apportioned to its source of origin, either residential wood combustion (RWC) or mobile sources (MS). Two composite samples, with apportioned contributions from RWC and MS, were prepared from the Boise ambient samples and tested for tumor-initiation potency. A comparative potency lung cancer risk estimate has been made based on the two ambient composite samples from this airshed. In addition, a microenvironmental exposure model was developed from the Boise data and from national survey data to estimate the exposure to EOM from RWC and MS. In this paper, the microenvironmental model is extrapolated to provide an estimate of the average annual exposure and dose in Boise to EOM from RWC and MS. The annual model considers actual pollutant levels in Boise, historical changes in RWC usage and meteorological dilution factors and the likely activities in the various microenvironmental zones and their resultant inhalation rates. Combined with the lifetime risk estimates, the average annual dose suggests a risk of about 4 x 10(-4) based upon the composite ambient samples. Despite the fact that RWC accounts for 73% of the EOM on an annual average basis, it accounts for only about 20% of the estimated lifetime risk.

AN - 21251343; 11703564 AB - Gene activation can be studied at several levels: transcription (mRNA), translation (proteins), or phenotypical alterations (functional activity or morphology). These levels can be studied in situ or biochemically by the use of specific probes for normal or altered DNA, mRNA, or proteins. Immunological probes are potent tools for studies of alterations induced by xenobiotics in target organs. When the effects of xenobiotics are studied in whole tissue, the cellular heterogeneity of the organ must be taken into account. For this reason, combined in situ and biochemical techniques are necessary. Antibodies to normal or altered cellular constituents are used for identification, quantitation, and cellular localization of proteins and modified DNA. Many xenobiotics alter gene activation by interactions with DNA. After activation, 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) forms DNA adducts, which can be identified immunologically. Combined with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) pulse labeling, techniques have been developed to demonstrate reduced adduct concentrations in proliferating cells and preneoplastic foci in the livers of AAF-fed rats. Carcinogen-induced DNA modifications are implicated as a major mechanism of altered gene activation in neoplasia, leading to phenotypical alterations. Also, cellular differentiation may be affected by xenobiotics. Differentiation-associated markers can be used for studies of gene activation. In mouse skin, the keratins K1 and K10 are only expressed in suprabasal, differentiating cells. BrdU pulse chase experiments combined with double immunofluorescence have revealed that K1 and K10 are sequentially turned on 18 to 24 hr after DNA synthesis and are followed by suprabasal migration. After a single application of the tumor promotor 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), cell migration starts directly after mitosis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Images Figure 1. Figure 2.

AN - 21251203; 11701651 AB - We have been interested in the structure-activity relationships of nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs), and have focused on the correlation of structural and electronic features with biological activities, including mutagenicity and tumorigenicity. In our studies, we have emphasized 1-, 2-, 3-, and 6-nitrobenzo[a]pyrenes (nitro-B[a]Ps) and related compounds, all of which are derived from the potent carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene. While 1-, 2-, and 3-nitro-B[a]P are potent mutagens in Salmonella, 6-nitro-B[a]P is a weak mutagen. In vitro metabolism of 1- and 3-nitro-B[a]P has been found to generate multiple pathways for mutagenic activation. The formation of the corresponding trans-7,8-dihydrodiols and 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrotetrols suggests that 1- and 3-nitro-B[a]P trans-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxides are ultimate metabolites of the parent nitro-B[a]Ps. We have isolated a DNA adduct from the reaction between 3-nitro-B[a]P trans-7,8-diol-anti9,10-epoxide and calf thymus DNA, and identified it as 10-(deoxyguanosin-N2-yl)-7,8,9-trihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-3-ni tro-B[a]P . The same adduct was identified from in vitro metabolism of [3H]3-nitro-B[a]P by rat liver microsomes in the presence of calf thymus DNA. A DNA adduct of 3-nitro-B[a]P formed from reaction of N-hydroxy-3-amino-B[a]P, prepared in situ with calf thymus DNA was also isolated. This adduct was identified as 6-(deoxyguanosin-N2-yl)-3-amino-B[a]P. The same adduct was obtained from incubating DNA with 3-nitro-B[a]P in the presence of the mammalian nitroeductase, xanthine oxidase, and hypoxanthine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Fu, P P AU - Herreno-Saenz, D AU - Von Tungeln, L S AU - Lay, J O AU - Wu, Y S AU - Lai, J S AU - Evans, F E AD - Division of Biochemical Toxicology, National Center for Toxicological Research, Jefferson, AR 72079-9502.

AN - 21251168; 11701630 AB - Historically, the potential health effects of airborne fibers have been associated with the dose, dimension, and durability. Increasing focus is being placed on the latter category. Concern about airborne fiber safety could be reduced by manufacturing fibers that are not respirable; however, due to performance and manufacturing constraints on glasswool insulations, this is not possible today. These products are an important part of today's economy and as a major manufacturer, Owens-Corning is committed to producing and marketing materials that are both safe and effective in their intended use. To this end, manufacturing technology seeks to produce materials that generate low concentrations of airborne fibers, thus minimizing exposure and irritation. The range of fiber diameters is controlled to assure effective product performance and, as far as possible, to minimize respirability. Glass compositions are designed to allow effective fiber forming and ultimate product function. Fiber dissolution is primarily a function of composition; this too, can be controlled within certain constraints. Coupled with these broad parameters is an extensive product stewardship program to assure the safety of these materials. This article will discuss the factors that influence glasswool insulation production, use, and safety.

AN - 21251035; 11703547 AB - Information from toxicological and epidemiological studies of the cancer and noncancer health risks from inhaled diesel engine exhaust (DE) and gasoline engine exhaust (GE) was reviewed. The toxicological database is more extensive for DE than for GE. Animal studies have shown that heavy, chronic exposures to both DE and GE can cause lung pathology and associated physiological effects. Inhaled GE has not been shown to be carcinogenic in animals. Chronically inhaled DE at high concentrations is a pulmonary carcinogen in rats, but the response is questionable in mice and negative in Syrian hamsters. The response in rats is probably not attributable to the DE soot-associated organic compounds, as previously assumed, and the usefulness of the rat data for predicting risk in humans is uncertain. Experimental human exposures to DE show that lung inflammatory and other cellular effects can occur after single exposures, and sparse data suggest that occupational exposures might affect respiratory function and symptoms. Epidemiology suggests that heavy occupational exposures to exhaust probably increase the risks for mortality from both lung cancer and noncancer pulmonary disease. The small magnitudes of the increases in these risks make the studies very sensitive to confounding factors and uncertainties of exposure; thus, it may not be possible to resolve exposure-response relationships conclusively by epidemiology. Our present knowledge suggests that heavy occupational exposures to DE and GE are hazardous but does not allow quantitative estimates of risk with a high degree of certainty.

Inhibition by dicoumarol and enhancement in viral hepatitis B. AN - 21249916; 11701643 AB - The aromatic amines 2-aminofluorene (2AF), 2-acetylaminofluorene, and 2-aminoanthracene, and the heterocyclic amines 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ), 2-amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline, and 3-amino-1-methyl-SH-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2) were activated by rat liver cytosolic fractions to form mutagenic metabolites in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA98NR, and TA98/1,8-DNP6. In the case of the Trp-P-2, the cytosolic activation was even more potent than the microsomal activation, which is classically ascribed to N-hydroxylation and subsequent esterification. The cytosolic activation was a) NADPH-dependent, b) induced by pretreatment of rats with 3-methylcholanthrene and especially Aroclor 1254 but not by phenobarbital, and c) inhibited by dicoumarol. The hypothesis is that, following a preliminary oxidative step in the cytosol (pure cytosolic activation) or in microsomes via prostaglandin H synthase (mixed microsomal-cytosolic activation), an oxidized intermediate of amino compounds may serve as substrate for DT diaphorase activity and bielectronically reduced to the corresponding N-hydroxyamino derivative. Purified DT diaphorase, in the presence of either NADPH or NADH as electron donor, produced mutagenic derivatives from IQ and Trp-P-2. An NADPH-dependent activation of Trp-P-2 also occurred in the liver cytosol of woodchucks (Marmota monax), but was not inhibited by dicoumarol. As previously demonstrated with liver S-12 fractions in both humans and woodchucks, the cytosolic activation of Trp-P-2 was enhanced in animals affected by hepatitis B virus infection. This enhanced metabolism, which persisted even after appearance of primary hepatocellular carcinoma in virus carriers, is likely to be ascribed to mechanisms other than DT diaphorase induction, such as glutathione depletion.

AN - 21249873; 11704914 AB - N-Oxidation and nitroreduction to yield N-hydroxyarylamines are metabolic steps that are crucial for the genotoxic properties of aromatic amines and nitroarenes, respectively. N-Hydroxyarylamines can form adducts with DNA, tissue proteins, and the blood proteins albumin and hemoglobin in a dose-dependent manner. The determination of hemoglobin adducts is a useful tool for biomonitoring exposed populations. We have established the hemoglobin binding index (HBI) [(mmole compound/mole Hb)/(mmole compound/kg body weight)] of several aromatic amines and nitroarenes in female Wistar rats. Incorporating values obtained by other researchers in the same rat strain, the logarithm of hemoglobin binding (log HBI) was plotted against several physicochemical parameters and against calculated electronic descriptors of nitroarenes and arylamines. Most arylamines and nitroarenes form hydrolyzable (e.g., sulfinamide) adducts with hemoglobin in rats. The amount of hemoglobin binding decreases with the oxidizability of the arylamines, except for compounds that are substituted with halogens in ortho or meta position. For halogen-substituted arylamines, the amount of hemoglobin binding is directly proportional to the pKa. Hemoglobin binding of nitroarenes increases with the reducibility of the nitro group. The structure activity relationships (SAR) for hemoglobin binding of nitroarenes and arylamines are comparable. The SAR found for hemoglobin binding were compared with the SAR found in the literature for mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and cytotoxicity of arylamines and nitroarenes. In general, the mutagenicity or carcinogenicity of arylamines increases with their oxidizability. This first set of data suggests that the levels of hemoglobin binding, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity of arylamines are not determined by the same electronic properties of the compounds, or not by these properties alone.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Sabbioni, G AD - Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Wurzburg, Germany.

AN - 21249844; 11703571 AB - Acetylation by arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs) is a major route in the metabolism of numerous drugs and carcinogens. Recent studies suggest that the same enzymes also catalyze N,O-transacetylation and O-acetylation. A genetic polymorphism of clinical relevance divides the human population into slow and rapid acetylators of arylamines. Two human NATs, NAT1 and NAT2, have recently been characterized by protein purification, cloning, and functional expression of the respective genes; both were localized to chromosome 8. NAT1 codes for a protein with ubiquitous tissue distribution and a high affinity for p-aminobenzoic acid and p-aminosalicylic acid, so-called monomorphic substrates. NAT2 codes for a protein predominantly expressed in liver with a high affinity for sulfamethazine and other polymorphically metabolized drugs. NAT2 was analyzed at the level of protein, RNA and DNA derived from phenotyped slow and rapid acetylators. Two common (M1, M2) and one rare (M3) mutant allele were identified and their mutations characterized. A simple polymerase chain reaction-based DNA test can identify > 95% of mutant alleles and predict the phenotype.

AN - 21249840; 11703566 AB - The intestinal flora forms a complex ecosystem that metabolizes dietary and endogenous nutrients under primarily anaerobic conditions. The ingestion of azo dyes has been proposed as one source of potential genotoxic agents. Many intestinal bacteria are able to reduce the azo bond (termed azofission), which liberates the substituted naphthol compounds. The standard Ames test has not demonstrated mutagenicity either by various common food colorings or by their reduced end products in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. In contrast, genetic toxicity was demonstrated in the Escherichia coli differential kill assay and in S. typhimurium TA102 for the reduced dyes. The superoxide free radical was produced by the azo dyes only after reduction by the intestinal bacteria Enterococcus faecalis and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron.

In a socioeconomically depressed agrarian area of Nigeria, several environmental health problems exist and are reviewed. The water is contaminated by parasites and by zinc and metals from nearby mining operations. It is near a polluting cement factory. Population increases have caused farming to intensify with dwindling yields. The status of health, nutrition, sanitation, and housing have declined despite massive planning efforts. Long-term help from developed countries was placed at risk by the economic downturn of the 1980s. The goal of the aid agencies should be to develop the capacity to handle health problems within the developing country.

Thermal desorption is used to remediate soil at the site of gas plants. Initially, soil is placed in hoppers under anaerobic conditions to rid it of segregated effluents. Next, water and volatiles are driven off in a distillation chamber, followed by a high temperature treatment to vaporize organic compounds with high boiling points. Medical waste can be disinfected by microwaving, a step that is preceded by shredding and steam injection. The cost of vitrification has recently dropped. In this process the waste is turned into glass, which can be reused. Bioremediation uses bacteria to degrade hazardous chemicals, such as the pesticide, Dinoseb. Waste minimization can be used to reduce the amount of material needing disposal. Several technologies developed under the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation are listed.

Quartz-based particles found in the lung tended to be highly pure. Morphology and composition of particles was also different in each of the miners, who had different health histories. One worker had black lung disease, one showed signs of pneumoconiosis, and one was considered to be normal. Individual susceptibility to pneumoconiosis from silica exposure may depend on intercellular mechanisms.

Disposal in space has been abandoned, because of its expense and the risk. International law and recovery difficulties have eliminated burial in the ice of Antarctica as a solution. Seabed burial would render the wastes inaccessible, and is presently prohibited by international law, but remains an active area of investigation, although there is a risk of accidental release during transport. Geologic burial is favored by most countries having nuclear wastes, although there is risk of groundwater contamination, and release via human interference. Irradiated fuel can be separated from uranium and plutonium, but the expensive method increases the waste volume by 160 times. Transmutation, in which the waste is bombarded with neutrons to convert it to isotopes with shorter half-lives is being investigated in the US and Japan. Long-term storage in aboveground buildings is proposed by some nongovernmental entities, but is not being pursued because of the long-term commitment to human control, and risk of sabotage.

Acceptance of mutagenicity as an indicator of probable carcinogenicity would allow for screening of more compounds, and building on present knowledge about structure activity relationships would allow for prediction of probable carcinogenicity. Agents other than industrial chemicals, such as UV light may contribute more to the total cancer rate, and should be explored to gain the greatest public health benefits. Similarly, the roles of diet, age, and behaviors that are related to cancer should be investigated. Models are needed for susceptibility to cancer and for human cancers. Adverse effects from environmental chemicals other than mutagenicity should be investigated.

Since the idea of environmental justice is new, and not everyone agrees that there is hard evidence of its existence, the early phase for almost every task force involved defining terms, and informing task force members. A National Environmental Justice Advisory Council, made up of 23 experts advises the task force.

This is approximately five times the rate of lung cancer deaths from tobacco smoke. Much of the risk comes from inhalation of radon decay products in the home environment, although 5% of the risk is from ingestion and inhalation of aerosol from groundwater. EPA is moving to limit radon in the water supply. About one third of the counties in the US are designated as having indoor levels above 4 pCi/l air. Although EPA still recommends short-term testing, long-term testing is more accurate, because of fluctuations caused by barometric pressure and temperature. Several Epidemiological risk assessment studies are underway, and are briefly described.

Mean concentration was 7.0 mu g/dl. Significant decreases in blood Pb levels were noted between the twelfth and twentieth week, after which significant increases were noted until parturition. The decrease could not be explained by the accompanying hematocrit decrease, although organ development and hemodilution might explain the phenomenon. The continuation of hemodilution and development do not explain the increases found during the latter part of pregnancy. Increased absorption by the gut, mobilization of lead in bone, and lead retention may be the cause of the elevation of blood lead levels. Offspring were normal.

AN - 62745854; ED378685 AB - The Education Council Act of 1991 Established the National Education Commission on Time and Learning as an independent advisory body and called for a comprehensive review of the relationship between time and learning in American schools. The commission's report, released in May 1994, found that school reform is destined to founder unless programs provide time for learning. This document is a supplementary volume to the first report, summarizing research and suggesting an agenda for further research. Section I, comprised of four chapters, summarizes research findings considered by the commission. These chapters review research regarding four of the commission's substantive recommendations: (1) reclaim the academic day; (2) fix the design flaw; (3) keep schools open to meet the needs of children and communities; and (4) give teachers professional time and opportunities. The second section outlines a number of critical questions asked by the commission for which little or inadequate information was available. It returns to the four major concerns of the preceding chapters and specifies further information needed in these areas. Two figures are included. (Contains 116 references.)

Schools and Programs Making Time Work for Students and Teachers. AN - 62745810; ED378686 AB - The Education Council Act of 1991 established the National Education Commission on Time and Learning as an independent advisory body and called for a comprehensive review of the relationship between time and learning in U.S. schools. This document serves as a supplementary volume to the commission's first report released in May 1994, which found that most school-reform designs are structurally flawed by their adherence to a traditional school calendar. This volume describes innovative approaches to the use of school time. It provides nearly 40 examples of exemplary efforts to make better use of available time and extend the amount of time students spend learning. The brief program descriptions are from 15 elementary schools, 15 middle and senior high schools, 4 districtwide efforts, and 6 special programs. They include public and private schools in rural, urban, and suburban areas from 26 states. Information for reaching contact persons is provided. A review of the programs indicates that many different kinds of schools and districts have already implemented many of the commission's recommendations. The most common approaches in descending order include: (1) redesigning available time; (2) employing technology; (3) extending the school day or year; (4) providing time for professional development; and (5) providing support services for children or families. Finally, the approaches to the redesign of time usage differ by school level.

Status Report. Report of the National Performance Review. AN - 62745514; ED384295 AB - This publication reports on progress 1 year into the Clinton Administration's "Reinventing Government" initiative, a long-term effort at significantly revamping the federal government's operations. A preliminary chapter notes the culture change involved in the reinvention process. Individual chapters then report progress for each of the four principles underlying the initiative. These are: putting customers first, empowering employees to get results, cutting red tape, and cutting back to basics. A final chapter identifies continuing challenges in the reinvention process. Appendices detail the status of major recommendations by agency and those affecting governmental systems, summarize savings to date, and list presidential and congressional actions taken to date. As an example, in reporting on the status of 12 recommendations for the Department of Education, the report notes such achievements as: implementation of a comprehensive planning process to improve department-wide programs and internal management; reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act; implementation of a new direct student loan program that will save taxpayers about $4.3 billion over the first 5 years, and $1 billion each year thereafter; significant progress in debt collection; implementation of a "one-stop shopping" approach for information dissemination and assistance; encouragement of employees to adopt individual development plans and to use performance measurement in implementing department policy; and identification and elimination of 64 cumbersome, ineffective rules by a"Low Hanging Apples Team."

It presents more than 1,500 standards representing commitments from more than 100 federal agencies for the following customer groups: beneficiaries; business; the general public; law enforcement; natural resource management; the research and academic community; states, localities, and other partners; travelers, tourists, and outdoor enthusiasts; the U.S. Government and federal employees; and veterans. The text of Executive Order 12862 and of the customer service standards are provided in appendices. As an example, with regard to the Department of Education as it serves the general public and the research/academic community, individuals and institutions should expect to receive: individual attention and prompt, professional service; an effort to meet customer needs and expectations; information that is timely, dependable, and accurate; easy access to services and information; and every opportunity to offer input and feedback. Other customer service standards related to education are presented here for Goals 2000, Impact Aid, the Office for Civil Rights, and the Student Financial Assistance program. As the Department serves the research and academic community they can expect the same general standards and the same specific standards for the Goals 2000, Impact Aid, Office for Civil Rights, and Students Financial Assistance program.

AN - 62743643; ED382762 AB - AFL-CIO unions representing a wide range of workers in virtually every sector of the economy have teamed with employers to develop and sustain successful programs resulting in better trained, more productive workers. Joint training and education programs come in various forms and offer a wide range of services depending on the industry and worker and employer needs. The United Automobile and Aerospace Workers union has joined forces with Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors to develop programs that allow workers to upgrade skills, further their education, and seek assistance in personal and work-related matters. The most well-known programs involving the Communications Workers of America and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers are the Alliance for Employee Growth and Development and the Enhanced Training Opportunities Program. Other joint programs include the following: Service Employees International Union's strategies aimed at expanding upward mobility opportunities; Education Fund of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees; efforts of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers ranging from full-scale high performance work organization efforts to efforts to assist displaced workers; the Institute for Career Development of the United Steelworkers of America; and programs in the maritime trades and paper industry. The Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership, a partnership among government, industry, and labor, is an attempt to establish a labor market board for Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Results suggest that not only are most undergraduates working while they are enrolled, a substantial number are working full time. Other highlights include: (1) about 75 percent of all (full and part time) undergraduates worked at some time during 1989-90 of which 40 percent reported working full time at some time while enrolled; (2) among undergraduates enrolled full time for a full academic year, about 22 percent worked full time at some time during their enrollment; (3) undergraduates who attended private, for-profit institutions were much less likely to work while enrolled (61 percent); (4) undergraduates who worked while enrolled were employed for most of their enrollment; (5) most undergraduates held jobs in the areas of administrative support, service occupations, blue collar occupations, marketing, and as sales clerks; and (6) women were less likely to work full time while enrolled than men. Includes a glossary and technical notes. (Contains 12 references.)

AN - 62739962; ED375805 AB - The use of information networks for business and government is expanding enormously. Government use of networks features prominently in plans to make government more efficient, effective, and responsive. But the transformation brought about by the networking also raises new concerns for the security and privacy of networked information. This Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) report was requested by the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs and the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Finance. The report begins with background information and an overview of the current situation, a statement of the problems involved in safeguarding unclassified networked information, and a summary of policy issues and options. The major part of the report is then devoted to detailed discussions of policy issues in three areas: (1) cryptography policy, including federal information processing standards and export controls; (2) guidance on safeguarding unclassified information in federal agencies; and (3) legal issues and information security, including electronic commerce, privacy, and intellectual property. Appendices include Congressional letters of request; the Computer Security Act and related documents; evolution of the digital signature standard; and lists of workshop participants, reviews, and other contributors. An index is provided. A separately published eight-page OTA Report Summary is included.

AN - 62739279; ED375222 AB - This report presents 1993 data on high school dropout and retention rates, examines high school completion and graduation rates, and discusses new data-collection efforts by the National Center for Education Statistics that have a direct bearing on the issues of high school dropout and graduation rates. The report also draws comparisons between cohort dropout rates for sophomores in 1990 and 1980 and provides detailed data on demographic and socioeconomic levels as they relate to high school completion and graduation rates data. Among the findings it is shown that national dropout rates have declined over the past 10 to 15 years; high school completion rates were increasing; Blacks had larger high school completion rate increases than Whites, but for Hispanics the rates were lower than for either Blacks or Whites; and, within income levels, the rates for Blacks and Whites were similar. While analyses of status and dropout rates for each racial and ethnic group show that the differential between Whites and Blacks is narrowing, analysis of data from two sophomore cohorts a decade apart in time show a 46 percent reduction in the sophomore-to-senior-year dropout rates. Appendixes contain standard-error and time-series tables, technical notes, and the alternative definitions of high school completion rates by age group and race-ethnicity from 1972 to 1993.

AN - 62549831; ED398505 AB - Anxiey, in general, helps one to cope. It rouses a person to action and gears one up to face a threatening situation. It makes students study harder for exams, and keeps presenters on their toes when making speeches. But an anxiety disorder can prevent one from coping and can disrupt daily life. Anxiety disorders are not just a case of "nerves," they are illnesses, often related to biological makeup and life experiences of the individual, and they frequently run in families. This pamphlet was produced in order to help laypersons understand anxiety disorders, and to explain the role of research in conquering anxiety and other mental disorders. There are several types of anxiety disorders, each with its own distinct features. This brochure offers brief explanations of generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder (which is sometimes accompanied by agoraphobia), specific phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Information on treatment and how to get help for anxiety disorders is provided, along with 11 additional sources of information.

Implemented by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), the project was intended to provide low cost technology for water & sanitation, achieve better collaboration between agencies in water & sanitation services, & raise community consciousness of the importance of safe water use & hygiene. Handpumps, latrines, & hygiene education were provided to rural people through NGO partners. Data obtained during field visits reveal a lack of community participation, personal hygiene practices, & effective use & maintenance of the WSS provisions. However, the effectiveness of a multiagency approach in providing technologies to an unserved population in an efficient way, was demonstrated. Principal challenges to be addressed include the training of individuals & improvement of hygiene practices. Multiagency cooperation will be needed. 1 Table, 14 References.

AN - 21275457; 11701613 AB - A large number of hprt-mutants were obtained by treating human lymphoblast cells (TK6) with 5 microM K2Cr2O7 for 5 hr and selecting by growth in 6-thioguanine. A combination of high fidelity polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) allowed us to measure mutant frequencies as a function of DNA sequence. Chromium(VI) induced four hotspots in a 104 bp domain of hprt exon 3. Substitutions at G:C base pairs were the predominant mutations. One of the chromium-induced hotspots was located at the same position as previously determined hydrogen peroxide and benzo(a)pyrene diol epoxide hotspots. Images Figure 1.

AN - 21270282; 11701609 AB - Bacterial plasmids contain specific genes for resistances to toxic heavy metal ions including Ag+, AsO2-, AsO4(3-), Cd2+, Co2+, CrO4(2-), Cu2+, Hg2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Sb3+, and Zn2+. Recent progress with plasmid copper-resistance systems in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas syringae show a system of four gene products, an inner membrane protein (PcoD), an outer membrane protein (PcoB), and two periplasmic Cu(2+)-binding proteins (PcoA and PcoC). Synthesis of this system is governed by two regulatory proteins (the membrane sensor PcoS and the soluble responder PcoR, probably a DNA-binding protein), homologous to other bacterial two-component regulatory systems. Chromosomally encoded Cu2+ P-type ATPases have recently been recognized in Enterococcus hirae and these are closely homologous to the bacterial cadmium efflux ATPase and the human copper-deficiency disease Menkes gene product. The Cd(2+)-efflux ATPase of gram-positive bacteria is a large P-type ATPase, homologous to the muscle Ca2+ ATPase and the Na+/K+ ATPases of animals. The arsenic-resistance system of gram-negative bacteria functions as an oxyanion efflux ATPase for arsenite and presumably antimonite. However, the structure of the arsenic ATPase is fundamentally different from that of P-type ATPases. The absence of the arsA gene (for the ATPase subunit) in gram-positive bacteria raises questions of energy-coupling for arsenite efflux. The ArsC protein product of the arsenic-resistance operons of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is an intracellular enzyme that reduces arsenate [As(V)] to arsenite [As(III)], the substrate for the transport pump. Newly studied cation efflux systems for Cd2+, Zn2+, and Co2+ (Czc) or Co2+ and Ni2+ resistance (Cnr) lack ATPase motifs in their predicted polypeptide sequences. Therefore, not all plasmid-resistance systems that function through toxic ion efflux are ATPases. The first well-defined bacterial metallothionein was found in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus. Bacterial metallothionein is encoded by the smtA gene and contains 56 amino acids, including nine cysteine residues (fewer than animal metallothioneins). The synthesis of Synechococcus metallothionein is regulated by a repressor protein, the product of the adjacent but separately transcribed smtB gene. Regulation of metallothionein synthesis occurs at different levels; quickly by derepression of repressor activity, or over a longer time by deletion of the repressor gene at fixed positions and by amplification of the metallothionein DNA region leading to multiple copies of the gene.

AN - 21262875; 11701617 AB - Human cells depleted of the naturally occurring polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine exhibit altered chromatin structure and marked deficiencies in DNA replicative and repair processes. Similar effects have been observed following treatment of normal mammalian cells with various heavy metal salts. In an attempt to better understand how metals interfere with normal DNA metabolic processes, a series of studies was carried out in which the toxicity and repair-inhibitory properties of various metals were evaluated in polyamine-depleted HeLa cells. Cytotoxicity of copper, zinc, magnesium, and cadmium was not altered in cells carrying lower polyamine pools. However, the sensitivity to nickel was markedly increased upon polyamine depletion, a condition that was readily reversed by polyamine supplementation. Nucleoid sedimentation analysis indicated that a greater amount of nickel-induced DNA damage occurred in polyamine-depleted cells than in normal cells, possibly serving as the basis for the increased sensitivity. Both polyamine depletion and nickel treatment result in decreased repair of DNA strand breaks and decreased cloning efficiency following X-ray and ultraviolet irradiation. Nickel treatment of polyamine-depleted cells resulted in synergistic sensitivity to both radiation treatments. None of the other metals tested enhanced X-ray or ultraviolet sensitivity of polyamine-depleted cells. Analysis of retarded repair sites following ultraviolet irradiation indicated those sites to be nonligatable in polyamine-depleted and nickel-treated cells, suggesting a block in the normal gap-sealing process.

AN - 21261929; 11701620 AB - Chromium is an environmentally significant human carcinogen with complicated metabolism and an unknown mechanism of mutagenesis. Chromium(VI) is taken up by cells as the chromate anion and is reduced intracellularly via reactive intermediates to stable Cr(III) species. Chromium(III) forms tight complexes with biological ligands, such as DNA and proteins, which are slow to exchange. In vitro, CrCl3.6H2O primarily interacts with DNA to form outer shell charge complexes with the DNA phosphates. However, at micromolar concentrations, the Cr(III) binds to a low number of saturable tight binding sites on single-stranded M13 DNA. Additional chromium interacts in a nonspecific manner with the DNA and can form intermolecular DNA cross-links. Although high concentrations of Cr(III) inhibit DNA replication, micromolar concentrations of Cr(III) can substitute for Mg2+, weakly activate the Klenow fragment of E. coli DNA polymerase I (Pol I-KF), and act as an enhancer of nucleotide incorporation. Alterations in enzyme kinetics induced by Cr(III) increase DNA polymerase processivity and the rate of polymerase bypass of DNA lesions. This results in an increased rate of spontaneous mutagenesis during DNA replication both in vitro and in vivo. Our results indicate that chromium(III) may contribute to chromate-induced mutagenesis and may be a factor in the initiation of chromium carcinogenesis. Images Figure 1.

AN - 21260562; 11701619 AB - A previous report indicated that progesterone pretreatment can markedly reduce cadmium (Cd) toxicity in male NAW mice. Therefore we examined the effects of progesterone pretreatment on Cd toxicity in male Fischer (F344) and Wistar (WF) rats. A single subcutaneous injection of 10 or 30 mumole (CdCl2)/kg proved nonlethal over 24 hr but caused the typical spectrum of testicular lesions in these rats. Moreover, when F344 rats were pretreated with progesterone (100 mg/kg, sc, at -48, -24, and 0 hr) and then given cadmium (20 mumole CdCl2/kg, 0 hr), this dose of cadmium proved very toxic, unexpectedly causing 53% mortality. Progesterone pretreatment had no effect on cadmium-induced lethality in WF rats or on testicular lesions in either strain. Significant elevations in serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, indicative of hepatotoxicity, were also observed in progesterone-pretreated F344 rats given cadmium as compared to rats given Cd alone. Progesterone did not induce increases in hepatic or renal metallothionein (MT) and hepatic or testicular MT-I mRNA levels in F344 rats. In contrast, levels of the testicular cadmium-binding protein (TCBP) in progesterone-pretreated F344 rats were doubled. This increase in TCBP provided no protection against cadmium toxicity in the testes. These results indicate that, in contrast to previously reported data for mice, progesterone pretreatment increased the lethality of cadmium in male F344 rats and had no effect on cadmium-induced testicular toxicity in F344 and WF rats.

AN - 21260077; 11703534 AB - Several chronic studies in rats indicating that cadmium exposure can induce tumors of the ventral prostate have recently been completed in our laboratory. In one such study, a single dose of cadmium, s.c., increased prostatic tumor incidence only at doses below 5.0 mumol/kg, the approximate threshold for cadmium-induced testicular damage. In a further study, prostatic tumors were elevated with higher doses of cadmium (30 mumol/kg, s.c.) if testicular damage was prevented by zinc pretreatment. Most recently, we found that dietary cadmium (25 to 200 micrograms/g) also can increase prostatic neoplastic lesions, but these were reduced by zinc-deficient diets. Thus it appears that cadmium produces prostatic tumors only if testicular function is maintained. Furthermore, we find that metallothionein (MT), a protein associated with cadmium tolerance, may be deficient in the rat prostate, and the prostatic MT gene, at least in the ventral lobe, is unresponsive to metal stimuli. In liver, MT gene expression, as assessed by MT-1 mRNA, was quite apparent in control tissue and was induced in a dose-dependent manner 24 hr following cadmium exposure (1 to 10 mumol/kg, s.c.). However, in the ventral prostate very low constitutive levels of MT-1 mRNA were detected and increases did not occur with cadmium exposure. Cadmium concentrations in the ventral prostate were in excess of those that cause significant induction in the liver. In sharp contrast to the gene in the ventral prostate, in the dorsal prostate the MT gene was quite active. The dorsal prostate is not susceptible to cadmium carcinogenesis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Images Figure 1. Figure 2.

AN - 21259848; 11701621 AB - Hexavalent chromium (Cr) compounds are respiratory carcinogens in humans and animals. Treatment of Chinese hamster ovary cells with 150 and 300 microM sodium chromate (Na2CrO4) for 2 hr decreased colony-forming efficiency by 46 and 92%, respectively. These treatments induced dose-dependent internucleosomal fragmentation of cellular DNA beyond 24 hr after chromate treatment. This fragmentation pattern is characteristic of apoptosis as a mechanism of cell death. These treatments also induced an immediate inhibition of macromolecular synthesis and delayed progression of cells through S-phase of the cell cycle. Cell growth (as evidenced by DNA synthesis) was inhibited for at least 4 days and transcription remained suppressed for at least 32 hr. Many of the cells that did progress to metaphase exhibited chromosome damage. Chromate caused the dose-dependent formation of DNA single-strand breaks and DNA-protein cross-links, but these were repaired 8 and 24 hr after removal of the treatment, respectively. In contrast, Cr-DNA adducts (up to 1/100 base-pairs) were extremely resistant to repair and were still detectable even 5 days after treatment. Compared with other regions of the genome, DNA-protein cross-links and Cr adducts were preferentially associated with the nuclear matrix DNA of treated cells, which was 4.5-fold enriched in actively transcribed genes. Chromium adducts, formed on DNA in vitro at a similar level to that detected in nuclear matrix DNA, arrested the progression of a DNA polymerase in a sequence-specific manner, possibly through the formation of DNA-DNA cross-links.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Images Figure 2.

AN - 21259832; 11701615 AB - While Cr(V) species and .OH radicals have been suggested to play significant roles in the mechanism of chromate-related carcinogenesis, controversy still exists regarding the identity of the Cr(V) species and their role in the generation of .OH radicals. Some recent studies have suggested that the primary Cr(V) species involved is the tetraperoxochromate(V) (CrO8(3-)) ion, which produces .OH radical either on decomposition or by reaction with H2O2. The present study utilized ESR and spin trapping techniques to probe this mechanism. The results obtained show that (i) CrO8(3-) is not formed in any significant quantity in the reaction of chromate with biologically relevant reductants such as glutathione, glutathione reductase, NAD(P)H, ascorbate, vitamin B2, etc. (ii) Decomposition of CrO8(3-), or its reaction with H2O2 does not generate any significant amount of .OH radicals. (iii) The major Cr(V) species formed are complexes of Cr(V) with reductant moieties as ligands. (iv) These Cr(V) complexes generate .OH radicals from H2O2 via Fenton-like reaction. The present study thus disagrees with the recently proposed "tetraperoxochromate(V) theory of carcinogenesis from chromate." Instead, it suggests an alternative mechanism, which might be labeled as "the Cr(V)-complexation-Fenton reaction model of carcinogenesis from chromate.

AN - 21259810; 11701612 AB - Chromium(VI) compounds are known to be potent toxic and carcinogenic agents. Because chromium(VI) is easily taken up by cells and is subsequently reduced to chromium(III), the formation of paramagnetic chromium such as chromium(V) and chromium(III) is believed to play a role in the adverse biological effects of chromium(VI) compounds. The present report, uses electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy; the importance of the role of paramagnetic chromium in chromium(VI)-induced damage in intact cultured cells is discussed, based upon our studies with antioxidants including vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), B2 (riboflavin), C (ascorbic acid), and so on. These studies appear to confirm the participation of paramagnetic Cr such as chromium(V) and Chromium(III) in chromium(VI)-induced cellular damage.

AN - 21258785; 11703536 AB - The induction of cytotoxicity and DNA single-strand breaks by chromium(VI), cadmium(II), and mercury(II) were compared in H2O2-resistant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO(R)) cells and parental (CHO(P)) cells. Using a colony-forming assay, CHO(R) cells were found to be significantly more resistant than CHO(P) cells to the cytotoxicity caused by CdCl2 and HgCl2, but not to that caused by Na2CrO4. However, the DNA single-strand breaks produced by each of these metals were significantly lower in the CHO(R) cells. With respect to chromium reduction, the level of chromium(V) in CHO(R) cells was decreased. The role of intracellular active oxygen in the heavy metal-induced DNA damage and cytotoxicity is discussed.

AN - 21253687; 11701616 AB - Isolated nuclei from mammalian cells contain a calcium-dependent endonuclease. The produced DNA fragmentation is a necessary step in the sequence of events resulting in apoptosis (programmed cell death). We report here that zinc and cadmium inhibit the calcium-dependent endonuclease. The essential metal ion zinc may counterbalance the calcium-mediated apoptosis. In contrast to zinc, cadmium alone stimulates the endonuclease by replacing calcium. Thus cadmium exerts a dual effect: micromolar concentrations inhibit the apoptotic endonuclease in the presence but activate the enzyme in the absence of calcium. Images Figure 2.

AN - 21253310; 11701618 AB - Human fibroblasts (HFW) were 10-fold more susceptible than Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells to sodium arsenite. Comparison of cellular antioxidant enzyme activities showed that CHO-K1 cells contained 3- and 8-fold more glutathione-peroxidase and catalase activities, respectively, than HFW cells. Since vitamin E, methylamine, and benzyl alcohol could prevent, in part, the arsenite-induced killing of HFW cells, we suggest that arsenite can induce oxidative damage in HFW cells. We have also established arsenic-resistant cells, SA7 and CL3R, from CHO cells and from a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (CL3), respectively. The arsenic resistance of SA7 cells was attributed mainly to elevation of glutathione S-transferase pi levels, and that of CL3R cells was possibly due to an increase in heme oxygenase activity. Since induction of heme oxygenase is a general response to oxidative stress, we suspect that the differential toxicity of arsenic to human and animal cells could be due to arsenic's more efficient induction of oxidative damage in human cells.

AN - 21253301; 11701607 AB - Methylmercury (MeHg)-resistant sublines of rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells were isolated by repeated exposure to stepwise increased concentrations of MeHg. One of the sublines (PC12/TM) showed an 8- to 10-fold increase in resistance to MeHg compared with parent PC12 cells on the basis of the concentration required for 50% inhibition (IC50) of growth. PC12/TM cells accumulated smaller amounts of MeHg than parent PC12 cells. This reduction in MeHg accumulation in PC12/TM cells resulted from slow uptake and rapid efflux. The intracellular glutathione (GSH) level in PC12/TM cells was four times higher than that of PC12 cells. Pretreatment of PC12/TM cells with buthionine sulfoximine, which decreased the GSH level to that of the parent PC12 cells, increased the sensitivity of PC12/TM cells to MeHg. A close correlation between the MeHg accumulation and MeHg sensitivity was found among seven sublines of PC12 cells and parent PC12 cell line. The GSH level in PC12 sublines was also correlated with their sensitivity to MeHg.

AN - 21252346; 11701611 AB - Metallothioneins are a group of low-molecular-weight intracellular proteins present in high levels in fetal mammalian livers, bound to zinc and copper. They are also present in two major isoforms in low basal levels in various organs of adults in several species. Although a number of functions have been proposed for metallothioneins, their major biological roles may be in the storage of zinc and copper during rapid growth and development, and also in the detoxification of certain toxic metals. In adult liver, metallothionein is mainly localized in the cytoplasm, it is localized also in the hepatocyte nuclei in human fetal liver and fetal and neonatal rat liver, as determined by immunohistochemical staining with a specific metallothionein antibody. Because of its high expression in fetal development, the potential role of metallothioneins in human tumors was investigated. The cellular localization of metallothionein was demonstrated in various human tumors such as thyroid tumors, testicular germ cell carcinoma, bladder transitional cell carcinomas, and salivary gland tumors. In most of these tumor tissues, metallothioneins were found in high levels in nucleus and cytoplasm in both benign and malignant tumors, although the proliferating edge of the malignant tumors showed most intense metallothionein staining. The expression of metallothionein is not universal to all tumor growth; its presence may depend on various factors, such as the type of tumor, cellular origin, morphological heterogeneity, or stage of growth. Human testicular seminomas, which are well differentiated, showed little expression of metallothionein irrespective of the staging, as compared to less well-differentiated embryonal carcinomas.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Images Figure 3.

AN - 21251391; 11703542 AB - Vanadium ion is toxic to animals. However, vanadium is also an agent used for chemoprotection against cancers in animals. To understand both the toxic and beneficial effects we studied vanadium distribution in rats. Accumulation of vanadium in the liver nuclei of rats given low doses of compounds in the +4 or +5 oxidation state was greater than in the liver nuclei of rats given high doses of vanadium compounds or the vanadate (+5 oxidation state) compound. Vanadium was incorporated exclusively in the vanadyl (+4 oxidation state) form. We also investigated the reactions of vanadyl ion and found that incubation of DNA with vanadyl ion and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) led to intense DNA cleavage. ESR spin trapping demonstrated that hydroxyl radicals are generated during the reactions of vanadyl ion and H2O2. Thus, we propose that the mechanism for vanadium-dependent toxicity and antineoplastic action is due to DNA cleavage by hydroxyl radicals generated in living systems.

AN - 21251353; 11701605 AB - Nephrotoxic effects of cadmium exposure are well established in humans and experimental animals. An early manifestation of such toxicity is calciuria a few hours after injection of CdMT in rats. Protection against calciuria and other adverse effects such as proteinuria (occurring later) is offered by pretreatment with Cd, which effectively induces metallothionein synthesis. In the present experiment, one group of animals was given pretreatment with CdCl2 to induce metallothionein synthesis. The comparison group was left without pretreatment. The distribution of Cd from a normally nephrotoxic dose of 109CdMT was studied by gel chromatography in subcellular fractions of kidney cortex in both groups. In the pretreated animals, 109Cd in the plasma membrane and microsome fractions of renal cortical cells was mainly bound to metallothionein and other low molecular weight proteins at 4 hr. In nonpretreated animals the major part of 109Cd was bound to high molecular weight proteins. These findings indicate that membrane proteins may be important targets for Cd when inducing nephrotoxicity and that sequestering of Cd by metallothionein (and other low molecular weight proteins) may be a mechanism of protection.

AN - 21251331; 11703531 AB - The production of reactive oxygen species on addition of hexavalent chromium (potassium dichromate, K2Cr2O7) to lung cells in culture was studied using flow cytometer analysis. A Coulter Epics Profile II flow cytometer was used to detect the formation of reactive oxygen species after K2Cr2O7 was added to A549 cells grown to confluence. The cells were loaded with the dye, 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate, after which cellular esterases removed the acetate groups and the dye was trapped intracellularly. Reactive oxygen species oxidized the dye, with resultant fluorescence. Increased doses of Cr(VI) caused increasing fluorescence (10-fold higher than background at 200 microM). Addition of Cr(III) compounds, as the picolinate or chloride, caused no increased fluorescence. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic studies indicated that three (as yet unidentified) spectral "signals" of the free radical type were formed on addition of 20, 50, 100, and 200 microM Cr(VI) to the A549 cells in suspension. Two other EPR "signals" with the characteristics of Cr(V) entities were seen at field values lower than the standard free radical value. Liver microsomes from male Sprague-Dawley rats treated intraperitoneally with K2Cr2O7 (130 mumole/kg every 48 hr for six treatments) had decreased activity of cytochromes P4503A1 and/or 3A2, and 2C11. Hepatic microsomes from treated female Sprague-Dawley rats, in contrast, had increased activities of these isozymes. Lung microsomes from male Sprague-Dawley rats had increased activity of P4502C11.

Because lysosomes are the principal subcellular organelles that contain acid proteases (cathepsins), we compared the degradation of apo-MT by lysosomes and cytosol. Apo-MT was degraded about 400 times faster by lysosomal fraction than by cytosolic fraction. To determine the relative importance of different cathepsins, we used different inhibitors. Leupeptin, which inhibits cathepsins B and L, inhibited the degradation of apo-MT by 80%, implying that cathepsins B and/or L might be very important in the intracellular turnover of MT. Cathepsin D appeared to be the least significant, because apo-MT degradation was reduced by about 20% by inhibiting cathepsin D. When we extended this study with purified cathepsins, we obtained the same answer, i.e., the ability of different cathepsins to degrade apo-MT was in the following order: cathepsin B >> cathepsin C > cathepsin D. While apo-MT was susceptible to degradation, ZnMT and CdMT were highly resistant to degradation. Coincubation of ZnMT or CdMT with either lysosomal extract or purified cathepsins did not result in any appreciable degradation even after 16 hr. However, longer incubations did result in some degradation, especially by purified cathepsin B. Interestingly, CdMT degraded little faster than ZnMT by both lysosomal extract as well as purified cathepsin B.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Images Figure 3. Figure 4.

AN - 21251009; 11703538 AB - Gene damage in cultured human alveolar (L-132) cells induced by exposure to dimethylarsinic acid (DMAA), a major metabolite of inorganic arsenics in mammals, was studied. DNA single-strand breaks and DNA-protein cross-links were induced by the treatment of L-132 cells with 10 mM DMAA. These kinds of damage appeared at 8 hr after start of exposure to DMAA. As regards DNA-protein cross-links, the DNA was found to bind not only to core histone proteins but also linker histone (H1) and nonhistone proteins. Furthermore, the cross-links were formed by the binding to serine or threonine residues of H1 or nonhistone proteins through phosphate moieties of the DNA. The induction of the alkali-labile sites in DNA in DMAA-treated L-132 cells was observed prior to that of DNA single-strand breaks and DNA-protein cross-links. As one of the alkali-labile sites in DNA, we estimated apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites in DNA. The present study suggests that the DNA single-strand breaks and DNA-protein cross-links induced by the treatment of L-132 cells with DMAA occurred via the formation of AP sites in the DNA and that the DNA-protein cross-links were produced by a Schiff-base reaction between amino groups of nuclear proteins and aldehyde groups of AP sites in the DNA and the DNA single-strand breaks, by a beta-elimination reaction on AP sites in the DNA.

AN - 21250997; 11703532 AB - Carcinogenic arsenic, nickel, and chromium compounds induced morphological and neoplastic transformation but no mutation to ouabain resistance in 10T1/2 mouse embryo cells; lead chromate also did not induce mutation to ouabain or 6-thioguanine resistance in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The mechanism of metal-induced morphological transformation was likely not due to the specific base substitution mutations measured in ouabain resistance mutation assays, and for lead chromate, likely not due to this type of base substitution mutation or to frameshift mutations. Preliminary data indicate increases in steady-state levels of c-myc RNA in arsenic-, nickel-, and chromium-transformed cell lines. We also showed that carcinogenic nickel, chromium, and arsenic compounds and N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) induced stable anchorage independence (Al) in diploid human fibroblasts (DHF) but no focus formation or immortality. Nickel subsulfide and lead chromate induced Al but not mutation to 6-thioguanine resistance. The mechanism of induction of Al by metal salts in DHF was likely not by the type of base substitution or frameshift mutations measured in these assays. MNNG induced Al, mutation to 6-thioguanine resistance, and mutation to ouabain resistance, and might induce Al by base substitution or frameshift mutations. Dexamethasone, aspirin, and salicylic acid inhibited nickel subsulfide, MNNG, and 12-O-tetrade-canoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced Al in DHF, suggesting that arachidonic acid metabolism and oxygen radical generation play a role in induction of Al. We propose that nickel compounds stimulate arachidonic acid metabolism, consequent oxygen radical generation, and oxygen radical attack upon DNA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Images Figure 1.

Powdered activated carbon (PAC) was used as for pretreatment, and ozonation was used as posttreatment for CFMF. Single channel tubular ceramic membranes of 0.2 and 1.2 mu m pore size were used in this study. The results showed that permeate flux increases with an increased dose of PAC added to the leachate. When membranes of different pore sizes were compared, the 0.2- mu m membrane performed better than the 1.2- mu m membrane, giving a higher flux as well as higher removal of color and COD. The optimum PAC dose for CFMF was found to be 30 g/L whereas the optimum value for the batch test was found to be 60 g/L.

Turtle sex is determined by the temperature at which the eggs are incubated. Colder temperatures result in production of males and warmer temperatures result in females. Intermediate temperatures produce various male/female ratios. Turtle eggs were exposed to 11 PCBs, and estradiol 17- beta as positive control. At temperatures that would normally produce males, two congeners produced more than the expected number of females. In further testing, a combination of the two congeners demonstrated synergistic increase in feminizing effects.

While declines in water pollution are generally accepted as true, the condition of the nation's surface waters is difficult to ascertain, because of variations in each state's reporting methods, and because such a low number of the waterways have been assessed. One nationwide study showed conducted by FWS showed that the concentration of cadmium, lead, and arsenic in fish declined in fish from 1976 to 1986, but the level of mercury remained unchanged. Herbicide content of streams was the subject of the only other national study to date. Nonpoint source pollution now accounts for the majority of water pollution. Human health studies often concentrate on consumption of fish, and most studies have been conducted in the Great Lakes area. Since 1972, the US has spent $590 billion on control of water pollution, and industry is opposed to implementation of the polluter pays principle.

However, a recent study showed that 80% of the chemicals identified as carcinogenic to rodents by the US National Toxicology Program were negative in the MN assay, and that the rate of false positives among noncarcinogenic agents as identified by NTP was as high as 20%. A review of literature data for the 9 NTP positive compounds, 26 human carcinogens, and 6 compounds known to be genotoxic in rodents was conducted to determine the minimum dose required to obtain a positive reaction, and the micronucleated polychromatic erythrocyte maximum fold increase. Vitamin C and fotemustine were used as MN positive compounds that are noncarcinogenic and carcinogenic, respectively. The data for each were synthesized and examined to demonstrate a method for assessing cancer risk to humans from these compounds. The results showed that stress may cause some MN weak responses when high doses of the chemicals are administered.

The method uses soundwaves generated in xenon or helium filled chambers. The sound waves compress and heat the gas molecules. After heat is transferred to rolls of plastic film, the molecules cool and expand. The technology has already been used on the space shuttle. Other potential uses include refrigeration units for remote areas of the world, and on commercial fishing vessels. However, the present technology requires twice as much electricity as conventional refrigerators, and efficiency is questionable. However, improved technology could provide attractive alternatives to the refrigeration industry that has become dependent on CFCs.

AN - 14344145; 10489901 AB - Cancer is not a recent disease resulting from industrialization, but the discovery of occupational and environmental exposure to various chemicals as a cause of specific types of cancers is a recent discovery. Geographic location, personal and cultural habits, certain diseases, and genetic makeup are also implicated as causes for certain types of cancers. The possibility of exposure to multiple carcinogenic factor is great. Results of studies on animal models, while valuable, cannot be extrapolated to humans. However, we must rely on the knowledge we have to try devise sensible ways to minimize carcinogen exposure.

One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session. AN - 62633586; ED389801 AB - A hearing was held on H.R. 4086, the Youth Development Block Grant of 1993, a bipartisan bill introduced by Representatives Constance A. Morella (Maryland) and Donald M. Payne (New Jersey). The purpose of the initiative was to expand community-based youth development programs for youth aged 6 to 19 years. The bill was supported by the National Collaboration of Youth, a coalition of 15 major youth serving organizations, collectively serving over 25 million young people. The bill would fund programs that help youth reach their fullest potential through youth clubs, sports and recreation, mentoring programs, leadership development, substance abuse and delinquency prevention, and community service programs. Fund allocation would be based on a state's total school-age population, the percentage of that population living in poverty, and the increase of juvenile crime in the state. Although the opening statement by Representative Cass Ballenger (North Carolina) expressed doubts that the bill was necessary, statements by the bill's sponsors advocated its passage. A number of representatives of youth programs spoke about the necessity for such programs and the need for further funding. Their remarks are followed by their prepared statements and supporting documentation, including some descriptions of successful programs.

AN - 62824175; ED372717 AB - This report presents the primary papers given at a 1992 workshop to identify specific higher order thinking and communication skills and to develop appropriate indicators of collegiate outcomes as suggested by Goal 5.5 of the National Education Goals formulated in 1990. This goal addressed improvement in college graduates' ability to "think critically, communicate effectively, and solve problems." Part 1 presents the five papers upon which the working groups built their discussions. These papers are: (1) "Skills for Citizenship" (Suzanne W. Morse); (2) "A National Assessment of Critical Thinking Skills in Adults: Taking Steps Toward the Goal" (Diane F. Halpern); (3) "Assessing Thinking: A Framework for Measuring Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills at the College Level" (David Perkins et al.); (4) "Assessing Speaking and Listening: Preliminary Considerations for a National Assessment" (John A. Daly); and (5) "No Guru, No Method, No Teacher: The Communication Domain and the NACSL (National Assessment of College Student Learning)" by Stephen P. Witte. Part 2 includes group summary reports, reviewers' comments, a listing of speaking and listening skills, and additional information on an ongoing Delphi study at Pennsylvania State University. Part 3 presents comments by participants on the conference products and results of a survey of all participants. Consensus on "next steps" included recommending further development of the taxonomy of skills, abilities, and competencies. (The five papers contain references.)

Contractor Report. AN - 62820934; ED372718 AB - This paper on the feasibility of using teaching practices as indicators of student learning was developed as part of an ongoing project to develop a process for the assessment of college student learning in the context of National Education Goal 5, Objective 5, which aims to increase the proportion of college graduates with "advanced ability to think critically, communicate effectively, and solve problems." The paper reviews the empirical research literature in three areas: (1) effects of institutional requirements including the relationship between outcomes and specific curricular requirements or coursetaking patterns, particular instructional designs, and expected levels of student performance; (2) effects of instructional practices such as class size and structure, specific classroom activities and behaviors, and influences of the institutional environment; and (3) effects of student behavior including relationships between outcomes and student time-on-task, quality of effort, and overall involvement. Available mechanisms for gathering information about educational practices and student experiences were also examined. Conclusions suggest that indicators based on student behaviors and "active learning" instructional processes gathered through student and faculty questionnaires would be most promising for development as potential national indicators, supplemented by transcript studies and assessments of typical college examinations and assignments.

Artist occupations selected for study include: actors and directors; announcers; architects; authors; dancers; designers; musicians and composers; painters, sculptors, craft-artists, and artist printmakers; photographers; teachers of art, drama and music in higher education; and artists, performers, and related workers not classified elsewhere. The study examines: (1) "Growth in the Artist Work Force"; (2) "Geographic Trends"; (3) "Demographic Trends"; (4) "Trends Among Women and Minority Artists"; (5) "Age Trends"; (6) "Education Trends"; (7) "Full Time Work Last Year"; (8) "Earnings Trends"; and (9) "Occupation Profiles." Findings indicate that very significant changes have occurred over the target time period. Artists have become more geographically diverse over the two decades. Growth among artist occupations has substantially outdistanced that for the labor force as a whole and for all professional occupations, of which artists account for about one-tenth. Incomes for artists, however, lag significantly behind those for other professionals of equal education and training. The report includes extensive tables and graphs of statistical information.

For the phantom, 220 measurements were obtained over a 6-month period to assess the reproducibility of the measurements. Results indicated a standard deviation of 1.29 mu g Pb/g plaster of paris. In the human subjects, the mean standard deviation was found to be 3.4 and 5.1 mu g Pb/g bone mineral for males and females, respectively, when measured over a 10-month period. No significant differences were noted between measured Pb concentrations in the left and right tibia, suggesting that either leg can be used for comparison over time. The data indicated that the super(109)Cd-based fluorescence system can be used to obtain accurate assessments of Pb mobilization from bone in longitudinal studies.

Female juvenile alligators from Lake Apopka had significantly higher plasma estradiol-17 beta concentrations compared to females from Lake Woodruff. Male juveniles from Lake Woodruff exhibited a mean plasma testosterone concentration that was almost four times higher that in males from Lake Apopka. Both males and females from Lake Woodruff had unstimulated, normal plasma estradiol/testosterone ratios, while those from Lake Apopka had significantly elevated ratios. Upon stimulation with luteinizing hormone, a similar relationship was noted in circulating hormone concentrations and estradiol/testosterone ratios. The poorly organized testes and abnormally small phalli found in male juveniles from Lake Apopka indicated that normal steriodogenesis would not be possible and that normal sexual maturation was unlikely.

The BIER V report has been cited widely in other studies, despite the acknowledgment of several critical areas of uncertainty and controversy, particularly with regard to estimates of radiogenic risk pertaining to anthropogenic increases in low-dose exposures above natural background levels. These inconsistencies are addressed by looking at the contradictory findings of radiation health effects that have been reported for the same exposed populations when different populations and exposure conditions were compared. Several studies are reviewed that have found positive associations between exposure and risks in dose ranges where traditional notions would have predicted negligible effects. Recommendations are proposed for new research.

Issues in Education Data Confidentiality and Access and Compilation of Statutes, Laws, and Regulations Related to the Confidentiality of Education Data. AN - 62824081; ED373117 AB - Two studies were commissioned by the National Forum on Education Statistics to address concerns about the confidentiality and security of education data. The first, "Issues in Education Data Confidentiality and Access," by Ellen Pechman, Eileen O'Brien, Amy Hightower, and Angela Williams covers major court challenges, data collection issues germane to education, and trends anticipated to affect data confidentiality policy. A central theme derived from telephone interviews with 11 state and local managers and users of education data is that while automation of student data systems in schools, districts, and states is still in early stages, national guidelines and standards are needed to build in protection that ensures individual privacy and supports efficient data collection. The second paper, "Compilation of Statutes, Laws, and Regulations Related to the Confidentiality of Education Data," by Sonny S. Bloom, Jacqueline Hlavin, Julia Pelagatti, and David Banisar, contains a survey of 34 states, abstracts, and analysis of federal and state restrictions and stipulations regarding data confidentiality issues.

The BPS data also include detailed information about financial aid, employment, family formation, and civic and political participation of students. The BPS sample of 6,500 students was drawn from first-time students who participated in the 1990 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS). Among these first findings are: (1) about half of the students originally enrolled in 2- to 3-year institutions, 42 percent enrolled in 4-year institutions and 9 percent enrolled in less-than-2-year institutions; (2) 47 percent of those who aspired to 2 or more years of college (but less than a bachelor's degree) when they first enrolled in postsecondary education, did not re-enroll in 1990-91; (3) during the first year of enrollment, 45 percent received some kind of financial aid; (4) of beginning students who worked while enrolled (87 percent of all students), 76 percent considered their primary role that of student; and (5) as of February 1992, 18 percent of the sample were married and an additional 5 percent had been previously married. Detailed data are presented in 41 tables and 17 figures. Appendixes contain technical notes, methodology, and a glossary.

While reauthorizing formula grants for supplemental programs, the amendments specify minimums for program enrollment and funding; require applicants to provide a comprehensive plan covering objectives, coordination of funds, teacher training, student evaluation, and dissemination of assessment results to parents; and require the school district to assess Indian student needs. The amendments also reauthorize the six Indian Education Technical Assistance Centers, provide educational planning grants to tribal governments, provide for revision of BIA education standards to reflect community goals, authorize new funding for Indian and Alaska Native language instruction, address the enormous backlog of needs for school construction, and change criteria for investment of endowment funds of the tribally controlled community colleges. Includes a Congressional Budget Office cost estimate.

Achievement of U.S. Students in Science, 1969 to 1992 - Mathematics, 1973 to 1992 - Reading, 1971 to 1992 - Writing, 1984 to 1992. AN - 62747102; ED378237 AB - Since its inception, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has been conducting assessments of the nation's students attending public and private schools. This report presents NAEP 1992 trend data in science, mathematics, reading, and writing. Proficiency scales provide a basis for comparing student overall achievement in each of the four curriculum areas. Comparisons are provided for samples of students in grades 4, 8, and 11 for writing, and for students aged 9, 13, and 17 in the other curricular areas. About 31,000 students were involved in NAEP's 1992 trend assessments. In general, overall trends in science and mathematics show noteworthy improvements during the past decade since the 1983 publication of "A Nation At Risk," while trends for reading show declines for the same period. Between 1984 and 1992, writing performance of eleventh graders showed little change. Writing has remained relatively stable for grade 4, but there was a significant decline for grade 8 from 1984 to 1990. An upward turn since then deserves further study. Twenty-six figures and 96 tables present survey findings. Twelve tables in a procedural appendix supplement the text. A Data Appendix summarizes data for each area. (SLD) AU - Mullis, Ina V.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62742331; ED375163 AB - This report on the private school universe, a data collection system developed by the National Center for Education Statistics, presents data on schools with grades kindergarten through 12 by school size, school level, religious orientation, geographical region, and program emphasis. Numbers of students and teachers are reported in the same categories, and numbers of students are also reported by grade level and religious orientation. The Private School Universe Survey of 1991-92 is the data source for this report. In the fall of 1991, there were 25,998 private elementary and secondary schools in the United States, a number not statistically different than that of 1989 which suggests an end to the recent trend of growth in the number of private schools. Approximately 80% of private schools had some religious orientation, with 34% Catholic and 45% having some other orientation. Just over 60% were elementary schools, 30% were combined schools, and only about 10% were secondary schools. About 4.9 million students were enrolled in these schools, and there were approximately 340,000 full-time-equivalent teachers. Fourteen tables present survey data. Appendix A contains 15 standard error tables, Appendix B presents the survey questionnaire, and Appendix C contains item response rates.

It is published as an addendum to "A Guide to Improving the National Education Data System." Issues that must be considered in studies of child development include learning and developmental stages, well-being, child care, education, and the concept of readiness. Associated data collection issues are those of definition and measurement, data needs, and possible indicators for an early childhood database. Recommendations include: (1) giving high priority to developing basic indicators; (2) developing and implementing methods to assess developmental progress; (3) developing and implementing a survey of early childhood care and education programs; (4) linking developmental assessment and the survey data; and (5) undertaking longitudinal studies to assess factors affecting child well-being. An appendix lists specific examples of possible indicators for an early childhood database.

United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session. AN - 62702534; ED382604 AB - These hearings addressed proposed Bill S. 2104 to create a Department of Energy (DOE) fellowship program for math and science teachers that would provide them opportunities to work at DOE labs in order to enhance coordination and communication among the educational community, the Congress, and the Executive Agencies responsible for developing and administering federal education programs. Following opening statements by Senators Wendell H. Ford and Mark O. Hatfield, Terry Cornwell Rumsey of the Department of Education testified on the Department's philosophy and strategies to address national education goals and in particular how S. 2104 would fit in with these and with existing programs. James A. Tegnelia of Sandia National Laboratories testified that S. 2104 would be helpful, would result in tangible improvement in DOE educational outreach programs, and should encourage participation of rural and minority school teachers. John M. Fowler of the Coalition for Science and Technology Education testified on the beginnings of the program that led to S. 2104. (It brought teachers on fellowships to work in Congressional offices and to contribute their insights into educational legislation and policymaking.) Senator Pete V. Domenici offered remarks on the importance of the proposed program. A brief discussion followed concerning similar programs at DOE, the best length for fellowships, program costs, and requirements for participants. The document contains a list and descriptions of DOE minority education programs and appendixes with response to additional questions, and additional material submitted for the record.

AN - 62713013; ED379791 AB - Goals 2000: Educate America Act (P.L. 103-227) authorizes a range of initiatives for federal support of education reform. Its basic strategy is that of systemic reform guided by sets of agreed-upon educational goals and standards at each level of governance. An overview and analysis of the Act's basic provisions and authorizations is provided. Goals 2000 establishes eight National Education Goals to be accomplished by the year 2000, a National Education Goals Panel, a National Education Standards and Improvement Council, grants for the implementation of State systemic reform, waivers of requirements and regulations under designated Federal education programs, and a National Skills Standards Board. P.L. 103-227 includes other new authorities and provisions, such as: reauthorization of the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and Improvement; a Safe Schools Act of 1994; parental information and resource centers; an educational technology effort including creation of an Office of Educational Technology; grants for "midnight basketball" leagues in disadvantaged communities; nonsmoking policies in federally supported educational institutions; and a required policy for expulsion of any student determined to have brought a weapon to school. The following issues were addressed during the consideration of Goals 2000: (1) the appropriate strategy for the reform of elementary and secondary education; (2) standards for providing students with learning opportunities; (3) unfunded federal mandates and federal control over education; and (4) conditions for success, which include maintaining broad support, providing sustained professional development, meeting technical challenges, and recognizing the importance of time in implementation. One table is included. (LMI) AU - Stedman, James B.

AN - 62816045; ED371935 AB - This report focuses on the status of rural education and is intended to provide information to education researchers, policymakers at the federal and state levels, as well as others concerned about issues in rural education. Specifically, the goal is to increase federal policymakers' attention to rural education problems, promote improvements in rural schools, and stimulate further research on rural education. This report documents how rural conditions are sufficiently different from urban ones to warrant being examined independently, and it endorses the hypothesis that a single set of public policies may not adequately address educational issues in rural versus urban settings. National data, mainly from surveys by the National Center for Education Statistics, are synthesized covering the following topics: (1) economic and demographic context of rural education; (2) location and characteristics of rural schools and school districts; (3) relationship between the rural school and its community; (4) policies and programs benefiting rural education; (5) profiles of educators in rural schools; (6) effects of education reform in rural schools; (7) public school finance policies and practices affecting rural schools; (8) assessment of student performance in rural schools; (9) education and work experiences of rural youth; and (10) the future of rural education. The report contains numerous data tables and a section describing statistical data sources and methodology. (LP) AU - Stern, Joyce D.

AN - 62812398; ED371206 AB - This document contains six papers on research about the school-to-work transition. Following an introduction (Nevzer G. Stacey), the first paper, "Determinants and Consequences of Fit between Vocational Education and Employment in Germany" (J. C. Witte, A. L. Kalleberg), concludes from a nationally representative longitudinal study of 16,000 individuals in 5,021 households that only about 50% of German men and 60% of German women have jobs fitting their prior vocational training. Discussed in "Financing Apprenticeship Training: Evidence from Germany" (D. Harhoff, T. J. Kane) are the following reasons why German firms support apprenticeship programs despite their high cost: cultural factors, union support, the high cost of firing, and low apprentice wages. The paper"School-to-Work Opportunities: Issues in State and Local Governance" (S. P. Choy) describes federal and state policies directed toward developing transition programs to prepare youths for high-skill, high-wage careers and transforming workplaces into learning sites. Outlined in "Industry-Based Education: A New Approach for School-to-Work Transition" (G. Hoachlander) is a model school-to-work program. The final two papers, "Profile of Target Populations for School-to-Work Transition Initiatives" (S. P. Choy, M. N. Alt, R. R. Henke) and "Opportunities or Obstacles? A Map of Federal Legislation Related to the School-to-Work Initiative" (M. T. Moore, Z. Waldman) discuss state programming options in view of federal legislation targeting specific population groups. Most papers include substantial bibliographies.

The BPS starts with a cohort of students beginning postsecondary education regardless of when they completed high school. As a result, information will be available about nontraditional students who have delayed their postsecondary education. Many educational policy questions can be addressed through information gathered by the BPS about student characteristics and patterns of information. An introductory chapter provides a summary of the background, major procedures and results, and scheduled products of the survey. Other sections cover the design and method, data collection and results, data analysis, nonresponse weighting, and data file construction. Eight appendixes provide technical information about survey conduct. Six figures and 57 tables present some survey findings and details about the methodology. (SLD) AU - Burkheimer, J. G.

AN - 62799696; ED370119 AB - A study examined the writing performance of American schoolchildren based on a survey conducted in 1992 by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Nationally representative samples of fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth-grade students attending public and private schools--approximately 30,000 in all--responded to a variety of writing tasks. Nine different writing tasks were used at grade 4, 11 at grade 8, and 12 at grade 12. The tasks at each grade included a mix of grade-appropriate informative, persuasive, and narrative writing, with some tasks being given to students at more than one grade. Not all students at a grade were given all tasks. At each grade, approximately 1,500 students responded to each task. Taken as a whole, results indicated that given time and familiarity with the topic, the best students can write relatively effective informative and narrative pieces. Even the best students continue, however, to have difficulty with writing tasks that require them to muster arguments and evidence in persuasive writing. According to teachers and students, persuasive writing--advancing evidence and arguments to influence readers to change their thinking--received less emphasis in their classes than did informative or narrative writing. The performance of the best students remained far ahead of the performance of most of their classmates. Whatever successes schools may claim in writing instruction, many students at each grade level continue to have serious difficulty in producing effective informative, persuasive, or narrative writing.

The program is designed to assist student from low-income families who would not otherwise be financially able to attend a postsecondary institution. The report reviews student eligibility, grant size, award rules, and need analysis, along with the characteristics of grant recipients. It also outlines the functions of postsecondary institutions participating in the program related to the control of fraud and abuse, application errors, and financial controls. Finally, the report discusses funding trends for the Pell Grant Program from 1980 through 1994, as well as suggestions for program improvement. It argues that increased funding levels are needed to restore Pell Grants as the foundation of federal student aid. (MDM) AU - Schenet, Margot A.

Recommendations and information from the conference are incorporated into this report. Conference consensus was that students must recognize that there is more to assessment than grades and scores and begin to see assessment as a crucial and integral part of education. They should assume increasing responsibility for documenting and reflecting on their own progress as they move through school. Parents and the public must hold high expectations for instruction and for student participation. Teachers will hold all students, regardless of their backgrounds, to high standards and will recognize that assessment cannot be separated from learning. Principals and other administrators must oversee the reform of mathematics and science assessment and ensure that the curriculum reflects what we want students to know.

AN - 62688374; ED375824 AB - The topic of this hearing was the Children's Television Act of 1990. This act was designed to increase the choices for children and to give parents and families the possibility of finding educational programming to supplement other children's programs. The Act has two major provisions. First, it established time limits on the amount of advertising that could be shown during children's programs. The second requires broadcasters to serve the educational and informational needs of the child audience including programming specifically designed to meet these needs. This hearing focused on whether this law has changed the landscape for children in the almost four years it has been in effect. Testimony was presented by: (1) Rosanne K. Bacon, Executive Committee member, National Education Association; (2) David V. B.

AN - 21261901; 11701602 AB - The developing central nervous system (CNS) is the organ system most frequently observed to exhibit congenital abnormalities. While the developing CNS lacks a blood brain barrier, the characteristics of known teratogens indicate that differential doses to the developing vs mature brain are not the major factor in differential sensitivity. Instead, most agents seem to act on processes that occur only during development. Thus, it appears that the susceptibility of the developing brain compared to the mature one depends to a great extent on the presence of processes sensitive to disruption. Yet cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation characterize many other developing organs, so the difference between CNS and other organs must depend on other properties of the developing CNS. The most important of these is probably the fact that nervous system development takes much longer than development of other organs, making it subject to injury over a longer period.

Many chemical and physical agents in the environment are potent generators of AOS, including ozone, hyperoxia, mineral dusts, paraquat, etc. These agents produce AOS by different mechanisms, but frequently the lung is the primary target of toxicity, and exposure results in damage to lung tissue to varying degrees. The lung has developed defenses to AOS-mediated damage, which include antioxidant enzymes, the superoxide dismutases [copper-zinc (CuZnSOD) and manganese-containing (MnSOD)], catalase, and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). In this review, antioxidant defenses to environmental stresses in the lung as well as in isolated pulmonary cells following exposure to a number of different oxidants, are summarized. Each oxidant appears to induce a different pattern of antioxidant enzyme response in the lung, although some common trends, i.e., induction of MnSOD following oxidants inducing inflammation or pulmonary fibrosis, in responses to oxidants occur. Responses may vary between the different cell types in the lung as a function of cell-cycle or other factors. Increases in MnSOD mRNA or immunoreactive protein in response to certain oxidants may serve as a biomarker of AOS-mediated damage in the lung. Images Figure 3.

AN - 21251614; 11703529 AB - This paper reviews the investigations with man-made fibers (MMF). Insulation woods: glasswool (GW), rockwool (RW), slagwool (SW), glass microfibers (GMF), glass filaments (GFiI), and refractory ceramic fibers (RCF) have been used in experimental animals and in in vitro cell systems. A large heterogeneous number of fibers, methods of fiber preparation, size selection, aerosolization, fiber size, and fiber burden measurement were noted, rendering difficult a comparison between results. By inhalation, RCF and asbestos used as positive controls produced a significant tumor increase. In some studies, a low tumor yield was found after inhalation of insulation wools; when all inhalation data were gathered, a significant tumor increase was found with GW. However, it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions on the potential of other fiber types because, in addition to the different compositions of the fibers, differences in fiber number and sizes existed, especially in comparison with asbestos. Moreover, experiments using inoculation, especially by the intraperitoneal route revealed a carcinogenic potential of all fibers types but GFiI and SW. In these two groups a small number of animals has been investigated and the fiber characteristics were sometimes irrelevant. So far, a relationship between the carcinogenic potency and fiber dimensions has been established. Other fiber parameters may be of importance (surface chemistry, biopersistence, fiber structure, for example) but further investigations are necessary to determine the correlations between these parameters and tumor incidence. In vitro experiments have emphasized the fiber characteristics identified in vivo as playing a role in the carcinogenic potency and should be developed as a better approach of the mechanistic effects of MMF.

Results indicate that price support, conditioned on production constraint, has not increased US production. Furthermore, the combined effect of price support & production control within a voluntary system is shown to increase US supply response with respect to market price. Given these results, opposition to certain aspects of US agricultural policy may be misguided. 8 Tables, 1 Appendix, 26 References. Adapted from the source document.

The estimated risk to humans rose exponentially with increasing PCB hydrophobicity. The inclusion of food chain sources of PCBs was needed to cause potential cancer risk to exceed 1 million. Cancer risk was reduced by environmental degradation of PCB, which limited exposure concentrations. Risk was also reduced by PCB biotransformation to nongenotoxic metabolites by aquatic organisms.

Dislodgeable foliar residues were in the 0.82-1.72 mu g/cm super(2) range. The mean dermal exposure was 32 mg and was in the 17.9-60.5 mg range. BChE levels in exposed harvesters and minimally exposed sorters were comparable, while the exposed workers had markedly lower AChE values relative to sorters for two post-exposure blood analyses. Urinary metabolite excretion rose with continuous exposure and was inversely related to both AChE and BChE.

Problems encountered in the classification of populations at risk for chronic Be disease are noted. The advent of a genetic screening test for this disease can be viewed as a tool for its eventual elimination from the workplace.

Hg exposures from seafood in this area may approach those that occurred in Minamata, Japan, during the 1950s. Hg concentrations in UC tissue were strongly correlated with the frequency of maternal whale meat ingestion during pregnancy and with Hg content of UC blood and maternal hair. The median UC Hg concentration of 4.95 nmol/g dry weight in Minamata would translate to 668 nmol/l cord blood and 114 nmol/g maternal hair, concentrations that support evidence of fetal susceptibility to increased exposure to methylmercury.

Witnesses included the following: Senators Claiborne Pell, Nancy Kassebaum, and Edward Kennedy; top officials from several major corporations; and several federal, state, and city officials involved in labor retraining and employment programs. The testimony generally supported the proposed legislation, which would create one-stop retraining and employment services for dislocated workers. An executive from a large private corporation headquartered in Germany testified that in Germany, all companies provide training, but that in the United States few companies provide training because trained workers could go to other companies that do not provide training. He supported one-stop employment centers and financial incentives for companies to provide training for workers to encourage more companies to do so.

Hearing on the Administration's Proposal before the Committee on Indian Affairs. United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session. AN - 62708311; ED377018 AB - The U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs heard testimony on the proposed reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as it relates to American Indian education. ESEA incorporates virtually all major programs constituting federal aid to education; of particular concern to American Indians and Alaska Natives is the title called the Indian Education Act, as well as titles providing for the education of economically disadvantaged children, bilingual education, and impact aid. Statements were received from U.S. Senators, administrators of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the U.S. Department of Education, and representatives of regional and national Indian education associations. Topics and issues discussed included mechanisms for developing tribal and BIA standards consistent with Goals 2000 standards, BIA budget preparation procedures, teacher salaries in BIA schools, parent participation in goal setting, the formula for allocating impact aid to public school districts serving Indian children, state-tribal relationships, Native language preservation and cultural maintenance, the definition of "Indian," appointment and status of the Director of the Office of Indian Education in the U.S. Department of Education, need for additional funding to BIA schools due to increasing student enrollments, eligibility of BIA schools for Chapter I funds, inability of tribal school boards to fire long-term BIA "status quo" employees at local schools, and needs for school construction and maintenance. An appendix contains additional materials on these topics as well as program descriptions, funding formulas, and information on the need for Indian Technical Assistance Centers.

The schools shared the following characteristics: (1) a philosophy that holds arts education as a basic and necessary component of a balanced educational program for pre-kindergarten through grade 12 students; (2) a broad understanding of arts curricula and pedagogy that is matched with the highest quality instructors available; (3) a balance of art forms, including music, dance, drama, poetry, creative writing, and visual and media arts; (4) a realization that the arts need time, space, financial, and administrative support; (5) infusion of the arts in other parts of the curriculum; (6) a commitment to all students that ensures access to instruction in the basic art areas and provides differentiated levels of instruction; (7) parent involvement as volunteers, program designers, and fundraisers; and (8) a connection to the local arts community. Profiles of the 17 elementary schools and their arts programs and the 25 secondary schools and their arts programs highlight how these schools function in a variety of settings.

Almost one in four public school students in the country is served by one of these districts. Characteristics, which include average and median school size, pupil/teacher ratios, number of high school graduates, enrollment of special education students and minorities, and selected fiscal data, are presented in 10 basic tables. Preceding these are Tables A through C, which establish the context of education in these largest districts. Although these districts represent fewer than 1 percent of all school districts, they educate nearly 23 percent of students. Fifty of the 99 districts that report racial and ethnic information have more than 50 percent minority enrollment. These 100 largest districts employ nearly 23 percent of the nation's public school teachers and account for more than 19 percent of all public high school graduates. Appendix A lists the nation's 500 largest districts with some basic data, while Appendix B lists them alphabetically. Appendixes C and D are representations of the data collection instruments used in the Common Core of Data surveys on which this report is based. One map locates the 100 largest districts.

AN - 62808891; ED371205 AB - Data from the 1991 National Household Education Survey, which was a random telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized civilian population of the 50 states and District of Columbia, were analyzed to identify patterns of adult enrollment in employment-related training. The analysis established that one of every three employed individuals aged 17 years or older was enrolled in at least one job-related training course during the 12 months prior to spring 1991. The most frequently attended types of training courses were as follows: professional development (25%), technical or skilled job training (20%), executive or management development (13%), supervisory skills (12%), job health and safety (12%), word processing/computer software and quality or statistical process control (10%), sales and marketing (8%), and new employee (7%). Managers and professionals accounted for 56% of adults enrolled in job-related training programs. Holders of a baccalaureate or higher degree constituted 53% of those undertaking work-related training. Men and women were equally likely to enroll in some type of work-related training and were most likely to do so between the ages of 35 and 44 years. White enrollment in professional development courses tended to be higher than Hispanic enrollment. (Contains 12 tables/figures.) (MN) AU - Kopka, Teresita L. AU - Peng, Samuel S.

Report of the Information Infrastructure Task Force Committee on Applications and Technology. NIST Special Publication 857. AN - 62706763; ED385275 AB - An interconnection of computer networks, telecommunications services, and applications, the National Information Infrastructure (NII) can open up new vistas and profoundly change much of American life. This report explores some of the opportunities and obstacles to the use of the NII by people and organizations. The goal is to express how improvements in the technical foundation upon which all modern communications rests can benefit all Americans by focusing on the uses of the NII and the benefits to be derived by applications of advanced computing and communications technologies. This document describes how the evolving NII can: enhance the competitiveness of our manufacturing base; increase speed and efficiency of electronic commerce; improve health care delivery and control costs; promote development and accessibility of quality education and lifelong learning; improve effectiveness of environmental monitoring and assessing human impacts upon the earth; sustain the role of libraries as agents of democratic and equal access to information; and provide government services to the public faster, more responsively, and more efficiently. In addition to articulating a national vision that can serve as a framework for discussion and dialogue, a second goal is to improve public policy-making, to identify critical barriers, enablers, and the tools of government action most effective in each of these areas. In this way, the benefits of government activities in support of the NII can be maximized, while minimizing unintended or undesirable consequences. Several themes emerge: equity of access; pursuit of demonstrations and pilot projects; standards setting process; privacy and communications security; training and support; identification of long-term research and development priorities; and performance measurements to assess both public and private investments and experiments. It is hoped that careful consideration of the policy questions raised here will both facilitate the development of the NII and guide its evolution so that it best meets public purposes.

AN - 62687572; ED375859 AB - The 1994 Forum on Library and Information Services was planned to provide an opportunity to explore the role of libraries in the evolving information and communications infrastructure. This report on the proceedings of the Forum begins with the agenda and a list of the participants. Two roles of the Department of Education relating to libraries and the Internet/National Information Infrastructure (NII) are then examined. The next three sections are structured around: (1) the federal perspective; (2) the state, local, and institutional perspective; and (3) measuring the value of information services. Each session is divided into four parts: panel presentations with a moderator; discussants who offer comments on the panel presentations and the topic; open group discussion; and a summation to identify issues and needed actions. The report concludes with a review and evaluation of the forum highlighting implications of development and changes in library and information services for data collection and analyses, and a luncheon presentation on implementing the Institute for Postsecondary Education, Libraries, and Lifelong Education. Four appendices present a draft of a statement on libraries and the NII for public comment; descriptions of the Louisiana Libraries Network Project and the Blacksburg (Virginia) Electronic Village; and a summary of a current study of the costs and beneficial impacts of library functions.

A time- and dose-dependent decline in cellular uptake of glucose was observed after treatment of differentiated cells. The portion of glucose transport activity sensitive to TCDD was eradicated by exposure to cytochalasin B, an inhibitor of facilitative glucose transporter proteins. Data are consistent with a proposed route for TCDD to reduce the titer of functional glucose transporter proteins through its interaction with the Ah receptor.

A similar total time-integrated dioxin exposure of a human populatin was sought by examination of some Seveso, Italy, residents who were acutely exposed to dioxins following a chemical plant accident in 1976. The area under the time-concentration curve for dioxin in fat ranged from 1.7 million to 1.1 trillion ppt-d for the most heavily exposed subjects. These total exposures greatly exceed those sustained by laboratory monkeys and should render the Seveso population an ideal cohort to rule out or confirm whether exposure to dioxin leads to an increased risk of endometriosis.

The health status of the population from the area tainted by radioactive fallout was adversely affected by radiation. Highly exposed residents had increased concentrations of circulating immune complexes in blood as well as increased blood sedimentation rates.

Large clouds of mist formed by such interaction can drift toward inhabited areas, prompting health concerns. The mist contained quantifiable levels of hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid, concentrations of which were greatest in dense plumes near the coast. HCL levels near the sea averaged 7.1 ppm, exceeding the 5 ppm occupational exposure limit; all HF concentrations were below 1 ppm.

AN - 62697096; ED374315 AB - This document records the oral and written testimony of persons who testified before or prepared reports for a Congressional hearing on the usefulness of the JOBS (Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Program). Witnesses included persons who had participated in the programs as well as state and local administrators of JOBS programs, national organizations, and Congressional representatives. Testimony showed that the JOBS program had produced some useful results in training and placing people in jobs. Witnesses stressed that such efforts were successful only when they provided child care and job placement, especially if attention was paid to the types of jobs in which people were placed. Witnesses stressed the importance of the Earned Income Tax Credit and the need to pass some type of health care legislation for the working poor so that they are better off working than being on welfare. Problems with the JOBS program included the following: lack of money, resulting in long waiting lists; emphasis on participation rather than on outcomes; and lack of good of jobs available for people who were trained.

It was predicted that when frequency one (f1) & two (f2) become perceptually indistinguishable, matching sound pressure levels (SPLs) should no longer be affected by shifting of the stimuli set. After establishing, in experiment 1 (N = 16), that a similar estimation bandwidth characterizes the recalibration prompted by direct loudness comparison, experiments 2-7 (total N = 96) were concerned with how bandwidth & extent of recalibration depend on the range of SPLs, their absolute levels, & the psychological paradigm. Two main experimental conditions used in the experiments were varied by direct comparison or magnitude estimation, frequency, decibel range, & stimuli type. Based on the experimental observations, recalibration measures are explained as occasioned when f1 & F2 differ sufficiently & the loudness matches change substantially, given a shift in the mean SPLs at the two frequencies. 1 Table, 10 Figures, 33 References.

AN - 62806430; ED367127 AB - This report reviews and synthesizes the most promising practices used to identify exceptionally talented students from the Native American population. Preliminary information includes an Indian Student Bill of Rights, discussion of the problem of talent identification, and discussion of special issues including diversity within the Native American population and cultural assimilation versus accommodation. Eight principles of identification are then presented. These include, among others, using assessments that go beyond a narrow conception of talent; using appropriate instruments with underserved populations; and using a multiple-measure/multiple-criteria approach to identification. Specific practices are then considered, which address: balancing the ideal and the practical; deciding on a concept of talent; recognizing the issues of a particular school; identifying traits that may influence manifestations of talent; recognizing behaviors that distinguish some Native American students from the general population; looking for manifestations of talent potential, alternative behaviors, situations, and interpretations; selecting and constructing appropriate assessment tools; and using the collected student data to make decisions. Recommendations address technical assistance, professional development, assessment portfolios, experimental programs, and program funding. Five appendices include technical information concerning evaluation measures, two sample case studies, and a list of assessment instruments. (Contains 77 references.) (DB) AU - Callahan, Carolyn M.

Immigrant children often experience feelings of loss, depression, & alienation when adjusting to new communities, new social customs, & public schools. Ethical questions & dilemmas in groupwork included issues of self-determination, informed consent, & confidentiality.

A discrete hazard model approach shows that it is not the duration of total breast feeding but the duration of unsupplemented breast feeding that increases child survival. Unsupplemented breast feeding appears as such a crucial determinant of early childhood mortality that its effect could not be substantially attenuated even when important demographic & socioeconomic factors were controlled. Each of the covariates -- supplementation, previous birth interval, & onset of a subsequent conception -- has an independent influence on early childhood mortality. 5 Tables, 23 References.

The cancer slope factor assumes a linear doseresponse relationship, not considering increasing evidence of a sublinear doseresponse relationship for low As doses. EPA is currently reviewing the issue of lowering the maximum contaminant level from the current 50 mu g/l by examining literature studies. Two of these studies, which consider the methylation threshold and resulting internal cancers, are critically reviewed. The deficiencies in the reports are discussed. It is argued that mechanistic or more refined epidemiological studies are needed to assess the possible relationship between internal cancers and As ingestion, and that future risk assessments for As consider a sublinear As-induced cancer doseresponse relationship.

In addition, blood Pb levels of school children were examined. Data are presented on Pb contamination of air samples, Pb-based paints and pigments used by children, Pb-glazed ceramics used to cook and store food, Pb-soldered cans used for processed foods, drinking-water samples, cigarettes, cosmetics, and traditional medicine. The results indicate a serious Pb-contamination problem in the city, despite efforts by the government to limit Pb exposure. Blood Pb levels are significantly higher in city residents than in those from rural areas. The major factors positively associated with elevated blood Pb levels are: the use of Pb-gazed ceramics to prepare food, higher automobile traffic, and biting colored pencils.

The estrogenic activity of the pesticides was assessed by determining the ratio between the minimal concentration of estradiol needed for maximal cell yield at 6 d and the dose of the pesticide to achieve a comparable proliferative effect. All results were compared to DDT and chlordecone, which have exhibited well-documented estrogenic effects. Results indicated that the estrogenic effects of dieldrin, toxaphene, and endosulfan are comparable to that of DDT and chlordecone, and six orders of magnitude lower than that of estradiol. In combination, the pesticides proved to be even more potent than when they were administered alone.

However, phospholipids in the lungs have been shown to reduce the toxicity of inhaled toxic silica dust. Male Fischer 344 rats were used to induce pulmonary phospholipidosis using amiodarone, and the effect of the phospholipids in mediating a challenge with silica dust was investigated. The experimental protocol is described. Compared to control animals, treatment with amiodarone resulted in an increase in phospholipid content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and alveolar macrophages. Following exposure to silica, the pulmonary phospholipidosis was clearly associated with a marked reduction in acute silica-induced pulmonary damage. In a subsequent in vitro study using alveolar macrophage cells, phospholipidotic alveolar macrophages were much more resistant to the cytotoxicity of surfactant-coated silica compared to control alveolar macrophages.

A better understanding of the health risks of PAH exposure is needed to determine whether the stated risks are over- or underestimated. The factors that affect the uncertainty of exposure estimates are discussed in terms of soil remediation efforts at hazardous waste sites. Areas considered include the carcinogenic potency of PAH mixture, the inability of EPA analytical methods to account for unreported PAHs in environmental samples, and bioavailability. A preliminary analysis of site-of-contact risks suggests that generic remediation goals for carcinogenic PAHs may be close to 0.001 mg/kg, which is well below even rural background PAH levels. It is recommended that the establishment of cleanup criteria for PAH-contaminated sites be based on both practicality and risk, which have been used for years to establish goals for radionuclides.

The environmental risk factors debated included lead, for which bone is a target tissue, cadmium, aluminum, and fluoride. Study results indicate a strong link between Pb exposure and osteoporosis. Cadmium exposure has been shown to affect calcium metabolism in the kidneys, which can result in small increases in urinary Ca excretion. The effects of Cd can be mediated by increasing the circulating levels of calciotropic hormones. The results from limited studies on the relationship between Al and bone disease have been inconclusive, but some data suggest that aplastic bone disease may be related to an Al-mediated decrease in parathyroid hormone levels. Fluoride has not been linked to increases in bone fractures. Exposure to environmental estrogens at an early age may increase the changes of osteoporosis in older women.

Oversight Hearing on Reauthorization of the Native Hawaiian Education Act To Authorize and Develop Supplemental Education Programs To Assist Native Hawaiians in Reaching the National Education Goals, before the Committee on Indian Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session (Honolulu, HI). AN - 62710090; ED374940 AB - A Senate committee received testimony supporting reauthorization of the Native Hawaiian Education Act as part of reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). In the previous week, the House of Representatives had narrowly defeated an effort to delete the Native Hawaiian Education Act from ESEA reauthorization. The Native Hawaiian Education Act recounts the history of the U.S. invasion and illegal annexation of Hawaii, describes the basis of the federal government's trust responsibility toward Native Hawaiians, the educational needs of Native Hawaiian children, and authorizes supplemental educational programs to assist Native Hawaiians to reach the National Education Goals. These supplemental programs are Native Hawaiian Language Immersion Project; Native Hawaiian Family-Based Education Centers serving infants, preschoolers, and their families; Native Hawaiian Higher Education Demonstration Program; Native Hawaiian Gifted and Talented Demonstration Program; and Native Hawaiian Special Education Program.

Joint Hearing To Expand the Provisions of Head Start Services and To Improve the Overall Quality of Head Start Programs, before the Committee on Indian Affairs and the Committee on Labor and Human Resources. United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session. AN - 62709718; ED374939 AB - A joint Senate committee hearing received testimony on the unique circumstances and needs of American Indian Head Start programs. There are currently about 120 Indian Head Start programs providing services to 181 American Indian and Alaska Native tribes. The Associate Commissioner of the Head Start Bureau described the ongoing federal initiative aimed at improving and expanding Head Start by making additional financial and technical assistance available to Head Start grantees. U.S. Senators, tribal leaders, Indian parents, and representatives of the National Indian Head Start Directors Association, the National Head Start Association, the National Indian Education Association, and individual Indian Head Start programs discussed the following issues: (1) potential weakening of the federal-tribal nation-to-nation relationship by proposed decentralization of federal administrative functions for serving Indian children; (2) eligibility requirements that exclude educationally disadvantaged children whose family income is marginally above the maximum; (3) restrictions that prevent a tribal program from serving Indians of other tribes or its own members living off-reservation; (4) need for pre-natal services and services for infants and toddlers; (5) obstacles to construction and renovation of Head Start facilities by Indian grantees; (6) funding difficulties and additional program costs related to the remoteness of many Indian communities; (7) insufficient funds to address the training needs of staff, parents, and volunteers; and (8) need for Head Start services in unserved Indian communities. Appended materials include legislative recommendations, numerical data on Head Start programs, and descriptions of individual tribal programs.

Peter P. Budetti, director of the Center for Health Policy Research at George Washington University (Washington, D.C.), testified on how past federal policy has contributed to the rise of doctors training in specialties and subspecialties and has caused a decline in general practitioners. Jack M. Colwill, representing the Council on Graduate Medical Education, testified that the nation has too few generalists, has a surplus of specialists, and is moving toward a progressive physician surplus, which may impede the ability to move into systems of managed care and may contribute to escalating costs. Debra J. Folkerts, a family nurse practitioner from Kansas, testified on graduate nurse education and other health care reform efforts. Clayton E. Jensen, dean of the University of North Dakota School of Medicine, testified on how his institution has responded to North Dakota's health care service needs.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62810545; ED369216 AB - This report presents results of statistical analysis of the 1993 federal "Survey on Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students in Postsecondary Education." Data were collected from 982 of the nation's 2-year and 4-year postsecondary institutions (Gallaudet University and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf were not included) and were weighted to provide national estimates. Highlights of findings include: (1) about half of the nation's 5,000 postsecondary institutions enrolled one or more students who identified themselves as deaf or hard of hearing in the last 4 years; (2) public institutions were much more likely than private institutions to enroll such students (79 percent versus 29 percent); (3) a total of 20,040 deaf or hard of hearing students were identified (an increase of approximately 3,000 students since 1989); (4) about a third of the institutions provided special support services to a total of 16,100 students; (5) classroom notetakers, sign language interpreters, and assistive listening devices were the major support services provided. This report provides detailed analysis in narrative, tables, and figures on: enrollment in postsecondary institutions, provision of support services, types of support services provided, problems with providing support services, and information that institutions would find useful in providing services. Additional information details the survey methodology and data reliability. Two appendices provide tables of standard errors and the survey questionnaire. Contains 12 references.

AN - 62712766; ED376387 AB - This annual report presents data on the health status and needs of American children from infancy through adolescence. The report's first section gives general population data, providing context for sections two and three, which present data on health status and service utilization for American children. The fourth section contains state-specific data on infant health which show the variability among states on basic health measures. The data indicate that gaps exist in primary care which could save the lives or improve the health of millions of children. Almost half of American children were not receiving immunizations at the recommended ages. Almost 28% of children aged 5-17 had not had a dental visit in the previous year. From ages 1-20, children and adolescents are more likely to die from injury than from any other cause, in spite of simple precautions, such as wearing bicycle helmets, a practice that could have prevented many injuries. Data indicate that greater efforts should be made to combat abuse, neglect, drugs, and violence in the family. School-based and school-linked services are both promising ways to make better health services and information available to children and their families. Health care reform, providing universal health insurance coverage, help bring American children and their families appropriate health promotion, disease prevention, disease treatment, and chronic care.

Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources, 103D Congress 2d Session. AN - 62687677; ED375795 AB - The Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources reports favorably on Senate Bill 1040 (S. 1040) and recommends its passage as amended. S. 1040 is designed to provide leadership at the federal level to promote effective uses of technology to improve teaching and learning and to promote equal access to educational opportunities for all. It establishes a framework and future direction for the infusion of high-quality technology in support of the Goals 2000 legislation and other initiatives. An Office of Educational Technology is established and directed to undertake a long-term plan for educational technology. The remainder of the bill describes a series of grants to assist states in developing comprehensive technology plans and to encourage research. The legislation also provides funds for establishing consortia for educators and nonprofit providers to develop training, technical assistance, and information dissemination to advance technology in education. Proposed amendments are modifications to the language and some simplifications that do not affect the bill's emphasis on the role of technology as a major tool for education.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62564097; ED404299 AB - A study was conducted to determine the extent to which public school teachers of kindergarten through grade 6 have experienced formal evaluations in their current school and the procedures employed in evaluating teacher performance. The nationally representative Survey on Teacher Performance Evaluations was administered to approximately 1,000 elementary school teachers in the spring of 1993. Findings include the following: (1) most teachers (89 percent) believe their last performance evaluation provided an accurate assessment of their teaching performance; (2) 94 percent reported that evaluation criteria were known to them prior to assessment; (3) 92 percent reported that their most recent evaluation included classroom observations; (4) while 99 percent said that subject matter knowledge should be a consideration in performance evaluation, only 65 percent said it had been considered in their most recent evaluation; (5) most teachers perceived that their evaluators were competent to judge performance in selected aspects of teaching; and (6) three-fourths of the sample indicated that determining teachers' pay levels was not an objective of evaluations at their school, and 50 percent agree that this should not be an objective. Fourteen statistical tables of estimates and standard errors and a sample copy of the survey instrument are appended.

We confirm the theoretical results that the concentrations of algal colonies of uniform flotation speed should increase exponentially in the downwind direction and that the length scale of this concentration variation should be inversely proportional to the colony flotation speed. We observed accumulation of a surface film at the downwind shore of our tank. This film dampens surface waves, inhibits surface mixing, modifies the nearshore water circulation, traps the algae, and allows the algae to accumulate into mats.

We consider theoretical, steady state distributions of phytoplankton in a lake caused by turbulence and circulation patterns induced by winds having speeds above this critical level. The model incorporates an eddy diffusivity which varies with position in the water column. It predicts concentration variations in the downwind direction which are more in accord with experiment than a previously presented model having an eddy diffusivity uniform in the vertical. If the windspeed is less than the critical value, then a floating phytoplankton scum is expected to remain on the surface. The horizontal distribution of a phytoplankton population will be very different depending on whether the windspeed is greater or less than the critical speed.

With the former, an undercurrent flowed northward on the upper continental slope south of where the nearshore edge of a warm anticyclonic eddy separated from the shelf and curved out to sea. The undercurrent rose onto the floor of the shelf and spread shoreward at least to the 60-m isobath as an intrusion of slope water. The other source of nutrients, the upwelled plume from the north, probably resulted from the East Australian Current spreading onto the shelf and driving an Ekman bottom boundary layer shoreward, where it upwelled to the surface and was then advected southward. Very high values of fluorescence at 20-40 m depth in the plume suggested a significant phytoplankton bloom. The plume was not continuous at the surface for the final 100 km of its passage to Sydney, rather taking the form of 40-km-long 'slugs' moving at similar to 0.3 m/s. It was, however, continuous beneath the surface. From Sydney it was carried out to sea around the perimeter of the anticyclonic eddy. JF - Australian journal of marine and freshwater research.

Impact on coastal environments of the South Pacific AN - 16971074; 3627817 AB - Common concerns about the environment and sustainable development naturally draw Pacific island countries together to seek action on global environmental issues which threaten the countries in the region. Climatic disruption and potential sea level rise are issues of grave concern; our reliance on fragile biological resources is threatened by the patterns of large-scale exploitation of marine and terrestrial living resources. There is concern about the potentially catastrophic effects of climate change on the wealth of species and ecosystems in the region. It is the concern about the environment that underlies interest in the region in negotiations towards global conventions on climate change and the protection of biological diversity and the subsequent signing of both conventions by the Pacific island country leaders in June 1992 in Brazil.

Twenty-one taxa (comprising five loliginid squids, seven cuttlefishes, seven octopuses and two dumpling squids) were recorded. In addition to hosting species distributed broadly in the Indo-West Pacific (e.g. loliginid squids Sepioteuthis lessoniana, Photololigo cf. chinensis and P. cf. edulis; cuttlefishes Sepia elliptica and Sepia pharaonis), the Gulf of Carpentaria represents the most northwesterly extent of the range of some eastern Australian species (e.g. Loliolus noctiluca and Sepia whitleyana). Squid catches were lower in the north-western gulf in 1990 and higher in shallower water during the more geographically restricted survey in 1991, whereas cuttlefish were more evenly distributed throughout the different sampling areas in both years. Broad size ranges of both sexes of the four most abundant species (P. cf. chinensis (northern form), P. cf. edulis, S. elliptica and S. pharaonis) are indicative of extended spawning seasons, and fully mature individuals of these species were evident throughout the gulf. Cephalopods are a minor component in reported domestic fisheries catches from the Gulf of Carpentaria, where penaeid prawns are targeted. High (though seasonal) squid catch rates were reported annually by Taiwanese trawlers targeting butterfish and squid from certain areas prior to 1979. With the observed population structure of the abundant cephalopod species and relatively high catch rates in some localities during these recent surveys, it is suggested that the cephalopod resources of the Gulf of Carpentaria could support increased commercial fisheries exploitation.

The log abundance/log sieve-size regression coefficient, referred to as the size-dominance index G, has consequently been used as a simple index of the size-structure of macrofaunal communities. Size-dominance varied consistently between infaunal and epifaunal communities, and between communities inhabiting different macroalgal habitats. Size-dominance was lowest in detached macrophyte and filamentous algal habitats, and highest in infaunal habitats. This spatial variation in size-dominance, and also observed temporal variation, was attributed partly to variation in the level of food resources and to variation in epibenthic (i.e. fish and decapod) predation. Alternative hypotheses proposed by Thiel (1975) and Warwick et al. (1987) dealing with the size-distributions of benthic communities did not fully predict observed patterns. Predictions are made here that whenever G > -2.1, then animals are exploitatively competing for limited food resources with epibenthic predation being of little importance. Production remains constant in different log size-classes when G = -2.1, hence the plot of estimated production versus log body-size is considered a useful way to depict faunal size-distributions.

A simple two-layer one-dimensional box model was constructed to examine the relationships between water quality, estuarine mixing and river flows. Flow events critical to the dynamics of water quality in the upper estuary are described. An initial analysis of the impact of changes to the flow regime of the Derwent River on the Derwent Estuary indicates that hydroelectric storage operations have led to a decrease in the frequency of flows required to flush the estuary, superimposed on climate-induced changes. Recommendations are made for possible flushing flows necessary to improve estuarine water quality. JF - Australian journal of marine and freshwater research.

Samples studied derived from the Gulf of Carpentaria, North West Shelf, Coral Sea, East Australian Current, Tasmanian, Victorian and Western Australian coastal waters. The dominant bloom-forming Pseudonitzschia species in Australian coastal waters were P. fraudulenta (New South Wales), P. pungens f. pungens and P. pseudodelicatissima (Tasmanian and Victorian waters). Other representatives of this diatom genus in Australian waters include P. americana, P. lineola, P. subpacifica and P. turgidula, but these were usually only present in low concentrations. While populations of P. pseudodelicatissima from the Bay of Fundy (Canada) can be weakly toxic, wild and cultured diatom populations of this species from Tasmanian and Victorian coastal waters were consistently non-toxic. The major toxic Pseudonitzschia species of concern in Canadian waters, P. pungens f. multiseries was detected as a minor component (5% of total biomass) of a dense P. pungens f. pungens bloom in a New South Wales estuary. Pseudonitzschia australis, a toxic species in Californian waters, was never detected in Australian waters. Surveys to identify bloom-forming Pseudonitzschia species in Australian waters, and monitoring of these species for toxicity, will continue. JF - Botanica Marina AU - Hallegraeff, G M AD - Dep.

A total of 67 MPAs have been identified in the region. However, an assessment of these shows that they do not adequately represent marine biodiversity in the region and that their overall management levels is low. Despite this, it is considered that MPAs have a significant role to play in protecting key sites and raising consciousness of the need for and benefits of marine conservation. The effectiveness with which they may address this role depends on two human factors. The first is community involvement in, or at least acceptance of, their establishment and management. The second is implementation of effective measures to manage factors outside the Marine Protected Areas.

Assessments are based on two stock-identity hypotheses and have been conducted separately for the South and West coasts as well for the two areas combined. Whichever of these stock-identity hypotheses is selected, the spawner stock size is estimated to be below the harvesting target of 50% of its estimated unexploited size. Assessments conducted for each coast suggest that the West Coast stocks stock is more depleted than that of the South Coast. The results of the analyses are relatively insensitive to a number of variations of the assumptions. The assessments show that the kingklip stock was in all likelihood already depleted below 50% of its pristine level on the West Coast as a result of trawling before the start of the demersal longline fishery. Retrospective analysis indicates that the poor status of the resource would have been evident by 1985 for a West Coast stock, but only by the end of the decade for a South Coast stock.

The production model is based on an observation error estimator and is applied to survey biomass estimates and catch rates (cpue). The ad hoc tuned VPA is based on the Laurec-Shepherd tuning algorithm. "Base case" applications of the two approaches provide different appraisals of the status and productivity of the resource. The ADAPT method and an age-structured production model respectively provide results similar to those of the ad hoc tuned VPA and the production model. Whereas results from both production models are insensitive to a wide variety of assumptions, those from the ad hoc tuned VPA and ADAPT are very sensitive to the value of the instantaneous rate of natural mortality. Discrepancies between the various sets of results are shown to be a consequence of a conflict between the catch-at-age information and the cpue and biomass data. They are not primarily a result of differences in the estimation methods. Suggestions are made for research which may help resolve this conflict.

The toxic effects of PCBs involve three types of basic mechanisms of action: reversible interaction of the PCB with specific molecular sites of action; irreversible covalent interaction between the PCB and target molecules; and accumulation of highly lipid-soluble, metabolically stable PCBs in lipid-rich tissues. Structureactivity relationships are used to discuss the underlying mechanisms of PCB toxicity: stacking interactions and coplanarity of structure, cleft-type interactions and lateral Cl substitution, and areas of high electron density and oxidative metabolism. The development of descriptive models for each mechanism is described and related to their interactions with thyroid hormones, retinoids, and estradiol.

A model of biomarker validation is presented and applied to several biomarkers of exposure to carcinogenic metals. The markers are DNAprotein cross-link, DNAamino acid cross-link, metallothionein gene expression, and autoantibodies to oxidized DNA bases. For each biomarker, data collected from validation studies carried out on blood samples from healthy volunteers are subjected to analysis of variance methods. Each assay is described. The method can be used to detect the amount of variability of the biomarker present in healthy subjects so that the expected variability in a field study can be established in exposed populations and controls.

The rats were orally dosed with 1000 T. spiralis larvae in 0.5 ml phosphate-buffered saline, and on days 0, 14, 28, and 42, blood was analyzed for Trichinella-specific antibodies. Carcasses were also examined to assess larval numbers. During the study period, the rats were exposed to suberythemal doses of UV-B radiation daily. Compared to unradiated controls, the UV-B-exposed rats exhibited a significant increase in the number of T. spiralis larvae within 6-10 d after infection. The timing of the UV-B exposure determined the severity of the inhibition of the resistance to the parasite.

The available sanitation facilities in the school and in the homes of a subsample were also examined. A total of 192 students were surveyed by questionnaire. Survey results indicated that the students had good knowledge about the subject, but students with literate fathers scored slightly higher than those with illiterate fathers. In the subsample of 64 students, survey results revealed that, while sanitation knowledge was high, there was a lack of opportunity to practice what they knew either at home or at school. The school and the majority of the households practiced open dumping of refuse. The inadequate sanitation facilities undermined the goal of the knowledge instilled in the students.

Ultimately, risk assessment should be seen as a framework within which all available information and knowledge pertaining to the risk at hand can be organized in a highly systematic way. The four steps of the risk-assessment framework-hazard identification, doseresponse assessment, human exposure, and risk characterization-are described to show how they can be more widely and accurately applied to five broad categories of environmental agents: natural and synthetic chemicals, radiation, physical objects, pathogenic organisms, and substances used as nutrients.

CRS Report for Congress. AN - 62807484; ED369159 AB - The sixth National Education Goal is to make every school in America free of drugs and violence and offer a disciplined environment for learning. Crime, violence, and discipline problems in public schools are increasing public concerns. Although it is difficult to assess the extent of these problems in public schools, reports suggest the situation is worsening. A National School Boards Association survey found that 82 percent of responding school districts said violence had increased at their schools over the past 5 years. A small percentage of uppergrade students regularly carry a weapon to school. Many teachers also reported having been physically attacked, threatened with injury, or verbally abused by students in school. Over the past several decades, Congress has responded to increasing concerns over school safety and youth violence. In the 1970s, Congress held numerous hearings and commissioned studies on the issues. In the 1980s, Congress was concerned over the drug use and classroom discipline issues, and continued to be concerned over these issues into the 1990s. The 102d and 103d Congresses have enacted a number of bills that support education and work to reduce violence, promote safety, and help schools achieve the sixth National Education Goal.

Report on H.R. 6 Together with Minority, Supplemental, and Additional Views Committee on Education and Labor, House of Representatives, 103rd Congress, 2d session. AN - 62811293; ED369147 AB - The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and Labor reported on the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994, which would extend for 6 years the programs under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. This report suggests that legislation with amendments and recommends that the bill be passed. The Improving America's Schools Act of 1994 not only continues federal funding of approximately $10 billion to programs, but also reshapes these programs to better serve states and local school districts. In 1993, Congress passed the Goals 2000, Educate America Act, which establishes a new framework for providing federal assistance. It helps states set new standards for education and eases regulation to allow schools to meet their goals. The Improving America's Schools Act of 1994 refashions federal programs to follow up on Goals 2000 and help states achieve the same objectives. Current federal programs cause some children to be pulled out of regular classes, thus stigmatizing them and disrupting lessons. These children are also often expected to learn less because they are thought of as educationally disadvantaged. This act will amend those problems by requiring that all children meet higher standards. It also moves federal aid to schools rather than to individual children so schools can have more freedom and accountability in addressing problems. Minority, supplemental, and additional views are included.

This Act provides grants for research and demonstration projects and training activities to meet the needs of gifted and talented students. The Javits program has served over 2 million gifted and talented students through 75 discretionary projects and also funds the National Center for Research and Development in the Education of Gifted and Talented Children and Youth. A Federal government report is cited indicating that only two cents of every $100 spent on K-12 education in 1990 supported special opportunities for gifted students, and recommending that the definition of "gifted" be broadened and that effective programs be expanded into regular school programs. Specific reauthorization issues addressed include: whether to focus on equal education or on excellence for the few; reauthorization of the National Center for Gifted Research; and continuation of discretionary grants for model projects serving only gifted and talented students. Specific appropriation figures for fiscal years 1989 through 1995 (proposed) are listed.

United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session. AN - 62630644; ED387572 AB - The Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Justice of the Committee on the Judiciary convened to discuss the federal role in combating juvenile participation in gangs. A proposed amendment to the crime bill being developed, described at the hearing by Senator Orrin G. Hatch (Utah), makes it a federal offense to engage in gang-related crime and subjects gang members to tough mandatory minimum penalties, while providing funding for additional federal prosecutors to make implementation of the measure a reality. Senator Christopher J. Dodd (Connecticut) spoke in support of the "ounce of prevention" amendment to the crime bill he and other senators have sponsored that would make resources available to community agencies that are already working with young people to reduce gang problems. Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (Colorado) expressed some personal insights on gang issues and suggested tax benefits for corporations involved in juvenile rehabilitation efforts. A panel of law enforcement officials and an educational administrator spoke about the roles of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the local police, and school systems in combating gang violence. A second panel of youth agency leaders, a police administrator, and a college professor reviewed the gang situation and provided examples of successful initiatives.

This was the first of several oversight hearings to be held regarding the service academies. Two events prompted the Senate to hold these hearings: (1) a cheating scandal at the U.S. Naval Academy that began in 1992; and (2) the publication of a U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) report in 1994 entitled "DOD Service Academies: More Action Needed to Eliminate Sexual Harassment." The Hearing consisted of the presentations of three panels to the Subcommittee on Force Requirements and Personnel. The first panel, consisting of U.S. Ambassador Richard Armitage and Vice Admiral David M. Bennett, discussed the cheating scandal at the U.S. Naval Academy. The second panel, made up of GAO personnel, summarized the findings of their 1994 report on sexual harassment. The superintendents of the three service academies comprised the final panel. They discussed honor systems and sexual harassment at their institutions and the steps the academies had made to address these issues. The hearing document includes the presentations of all three panels as well as text from the GAO report and the "Report of the Honor Review Committee to the Secretary of the Navy On Honor at the United States Naval Academy."

AN - 62807772; ED367587 AB - This document presents the arts education research agenda that emerged from a national conference on arts education. The conference was attended by key researchers in each of the arts education disciplines, arts educators, artists and artist teachers, representatives of arts institutions and organizations, and persons from groups and organizations that influence the priorities, development, and conduct of research efforts. The goals of the agenda are: (1) to focus the attention of arts educators, researchers, and the broader community on basic issues in arts education that can improve teaching and learning in the arts; (2) to identify what arts educators view as priorities, given limited resources; (3) to provide a conceptual framework and overall philosophy for inquiry in the field of arts education, as other disciplines are doing with their respective research agendas; and (4) to connect theory and practice, and to make research an agent of improvement in teaching and learning. The agenda was developed to articulate the many unanswered questions in three main areas of arts education: (1) curriculum and instruction; (2) assessment and evaluation; and (3) teacher education and preparation. The document consists of five parts plus notes, a bibliography, and an appendix of conference participants. The first section is an introduction of this field generated document, discussing trends in U.S. education that influence arts education. The second chapter on curriculum and instruction discusses what should be taught and how. The third chapter is on assessment, and the fourth on teacher education and preparation. The last chapter is on continued collaboration.

Graphical diagnostic techniques were used to assure adequate control for season and weather and to confirm that risk is pronounced for the elderly and for deaths from cardiovascular disease and pneumonia. Total suspended particulate was associated with an increased risk of mortality for the 1977-82 period studied. Similar findings from other cities suggest that this relationship should be considered causal.

The most serious environmental health problem is air pollution. Respiratory disease is a leading cause of death in the nation, and largely attributable to elevated atmospheric levels of sulfur dioxide and particulates emitted from coal combustion. These pollutants are also found in elevated concentrations in the indoor environment. Many drinking water supplies are contaminated by fluoride and arsenic. The burgeoning environmental movement in China seeks to address these widespread problems and currently relies on international monetary assistance.

Understanding similarities and common principles,and the underlying mechanisms, forms this project's long-range goal. Thepresent proposal brings techniques of human psychophysical measurement tobear on two topics: intensity summation and selective attention. Thecharacteristics of summation, which is found in most if not allmodalities, may not be fixed but depend on properties of stimulation: Thequantitative rules governing, for example, interaural loudness summationcan depend on the stimulus range. Using methods of intensity scaling,studies will determine whether stimulus range also modifies intensitysummation in touch perception (e.g., summation of two frequency componentsof vibratory stimuli) and chemosensation (summation of gustatory andolfactory components in 'flavors'); studies using intensity-comparisonwill seek to confirm these effects. Other studies will determine whetherrelated changes take place in the discriminability of pairs of stimuli.The second main topic concerns the role of attention in selectiveprocessing of stimuli and stimulus dimensions. Focusing attention inhearing on a single frequency leads to depressed sensitivity to other,distant signal frequencies, thereby revealing the presence of individualchannels ('attention bands'). Using detection and discrimination methods,studies will determine how similar selective processing characterizestouch, taste, and olfactory perception, evaluating attention bands fordifferent qualities (e.g., different tastes), different spatial locations(e.g., tactile stimulation of different fingers), and different modalities(e.g., separate bands for olfactory and gustatory components in flavors).Related studies will determine how information from different channelscombines. Attention can also guide processing of particular dimensions.Processing of perceptual information is often most efficient when stimulivary on perceptually-primary dimensions. Studies will use discriminationmethods to measure the ability to attend selectively to differences indistance, time, and velocity of moving visual stimuli. Lastly, althoughdifferent modalities (e.g., vision and hearing) are often consideredindependent, tasks requiring rapid processing reveal intermodalinteractions in response speed. Studies will determine whether suchinteractions are also evident in unspeeded tasks, using discriminationmethods that provide separate measures of perceptual sensitivity andresponse criterion. In sum, this research program should shed importantlight on the basic operations of human perceptual systems. Not only canthis improve our understanding of normal sensory-perceptual functioning inhealthy individuals, but ultimately also disorders in individuals withsensory impairments and attentional deficits.

The applications are promoted as modernizing and cost-saving measures in a period of tight budgets, but without necessarily considering the full costs or benefits. The cases presented in this article clearly do not represent all Federal programs, but the comprehensive approach discussed here is appropriate to others.

AN - 62812036; ED367876 AB - In fall 1992, the National Assessment of Vocational Education Teacher Survey gathered data on the context of vocational education in public secondary schools through questionnaires sent to 2,071 vocational and academic secondary teachers. Response was 93 percent (1,924 teachers). Almost all teachers taught full time and had a significant amount of teaching experience. Class size was slightly lower and class length was somewhat longer in vocational courses. Vocational courses differed by the activities and teaching methods used during class. Homework was much more likely to have been assigned during a 5-day period in academic courses; vocational course students were about twice as likely to have used some kind of instrument, tools or equipment, and computers. Large proportions of both groups of teachers planned to include written examinations and quizzes. Vocational teachers were likely to administer a performance test or assess a student's portfolio. The mathematics and science content of most vocational courses was limited. Teachers in both groups reported the leading determinants of students' grades were basic reading skills, completing work on time, creative thinking and problem solving, and self-management skills, although occupational skills were significantly more likely to contribute to a vocational student's grade. (Over one-half of the report consists of 23 tables of estimates and standard errors. The questionnaire is appended.)

United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session (November 18, 1993). AN - 62811429; ED370745 AB - A Senate committee hearing received testimony on the Equity in Educational Land Grant Status Act, which would extend land-grant status and concomitant federal aid to 29 Indian tribal colleges and postsecondary institutions. Senators and representatives of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, Navajo Community College, the American Indian Higher Education Consortium, Sinte Gleska University, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of Indian Education Programs endorsed the act and discussed the analogies between the mission of tribal colleges and that of present land-grant institutions, the underfunding of tribal colleges, the need for education in agriculture and natural resource management on American Indian reservations, and the opportunity for expanded rural extension initiatives that land-grant status would provide. Additional materials submitted to the committee include a list of the benefits of land-grant status; a description of the mission, philosophy, programs, students, and needs of Navajo Community College (NCC); statistical information on the Navajo community and economy; results of a survey of NCC graduates; and a proposed amendment to the bill.

United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session (September 15, 1993). AN - 62810586; ED367520 AB - In October 1992, Congress passed legislation supporting American Indian tribal demonstration projects that would consolidate employment services, job training, and related services to improve the effectiveness of such services, reduce unemployment, and further tribal goals. In September 1993, a Senate hearing received testimony concerning the extent of implementation of these pilot projects. Representatives of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Department of Labor, and the Department of Health and Human Services reported that: (1) these agencies had established a management framework specifying their roles and responsibilities with respect to the statute; (2) the agencies were developing written guidance for tribes on project implementation, as well as consolidated program report forms; and (3) 55 tribes were willing to participate in program implementation during fiscal year 1994. Representatives of tribes and Indian organizations discussed: (1) the importance of federal agencies treating the tribes as full partners in the implementation process; (2) concerns that federal agencies not create barriers to implementation; (3) the relationship of this initiative to ongoing tribal self-governance initiatives; (4) the need for data collection that would allow program evaluation in terms of local circumstances; and (5) concerns over Department of Labor plans to publish new regulations affecting Indian Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs. An appendix making up the bulk of this document contains the text of the legislation (Public Law 102-477), much discussion about the proposed JTPA regulations, reports on Native unemployment and economic development efforts on reservations and in urban areas, and a description of a planned electronic network linking grantees with each other and with federal agencies.

The hearing centered on concerns about providing enough work for federal prisoners to learn from it and to be kept occupied and from private sector concerns about displacing work that can be done by private firms. Witnesses included representatives of manufacturers, labor unions, prison management associations, and government agencies. Various proposals were made to increase the labor-intensive aspects of prisoner work without displacing private companies from selling to the federal government. Industry representatives opposed mandatory preference for prison work-products for purchase by the federal government. Discussion was not conclusive.

Witnesses included Senators, the U.S. Secretary of Education, the U.S. Secretary of Labor, business officials, school officials, and program directors of various local and state programs. The testimony noted that the United States is one of the few Western nations that does not provide a career path for noncollege-bound students. It was suggested that formal programs encompassing the last 2 years of high school and 1-2 years after high school be set up to provide students with skills and certification. Cooperation between school systems and business and industry is essential to set up such programs. Testimony also profiled various successful programs throughout the country, such as "academies" for various industries set up within high schools. Such programs have resulted in students not only gaining job skills but also going on for further training or college education. Also stressed was the need to set and adhere high standards and to have staff encouraging young people to look to their futures.

AN - 62809639; ED372256 AB - This document records the oral testimony and written reports of witnesses who testified at a Congressional hearing on education for entry-level workers who are needed by small businesses. Those who offered oral or written testimony included representatives of the following: National Alliance of Business, the American Society for Training and Development, the Educational Testing Service, the Council on Competitiveness, and the Executive Secretarial School. The testimony centered on the theme that noncollege-bound students, who represent about 75 percent of students, do not have the basic skills needed to fill the jobs available and to advance in those jobs. Witnesses suggested that many kinds of reform have been tried with little success. They pointed to Goals 2000, however, as the type of movement that is needed and that might provide the goals necessary for collective work toward a more competitive work force. Some witnesses believe that educational reform cannot be just "tinkering around the edges," but must be a complete overhaul of the school system. Others suggested a "youth apprenticeship" program for the last 2 years of high school, with employers playing a greater role in training students for the jobs available. According to one witness, schools and employers need to agree on validated skills necessary for high school graduates so noncollege-bound students have some incentive to study. In addition, education should stress more applications, according to several witnesses. Some witnesses also stated that small businesses cannot afford training for their employees and that the federal government should provide tax incentives for training personnel, just as they do for technology and equipment purchases.

AN - 62808011; ED372258 AB - This document records the oral and written testimony given by witnesses at a series of three Congressional hearings conducted in 1993 to review federal retraining programs for dislocated workers. Witnesses included representatives of federal and state agencies, and Private Industry Councils. Witnesses testified about their programs and what has worked and has not worked in their efforts to retrain dislocated workers. The existing programs were described and suggestions made for improvements, including putting programs in place before layoffs, and shortening the timeframe for retraining programs so workers can afford to complete them. However, according to witnesses, whatever successes have occurred have been tempered by the sluggish economy and the reality that most of the new jobs for which workers can be retrained pay substantially less than the jobs they have lost.

AN - 62806951; ED366278 AB - In response to Congressional requests to analyze proposed federal programs that would provide income-contingent loans (ICLs) to postsecondary students, this report of the Congressional Budget Office examines the fundamental issues in designing such programs. It identifies the key parameters that define an ICL program, discusses the relationships among them, and explores other issues that bear on how an ICL program could be fashioned. Specific questions addressed include whether ICLs should be federally subsidized, whether some borrowers subsidize other borrowers, and if borrowers would alter their behavior in response to the terms of an ICL. Other factors that would affect the terms of an ICL are discussed including cumulative loan amount, length of repayment period, payback rate relative to income, interest rate, and the administrative burden on the borrower. The report also includes a table of the basic types of income-contingent loans.

The report focuses on 16 core indicators that are: comprehensive across the Goals; critical in determining whether the Goals are actually achieved; policy-actionable; and updated at frequent intervals. National performance has gotten better in four areas: improved general health and development of infants; increased mathematics achievement in grades 4 and 8; decline in student alcohol use; and a reduction in number of threats and violence in schools. However, one area has gotten worse: student drug use has increased. No discernible changes in national performance were detected in six areas, and in eight areas assessment of progress was not possible because of a lack of data. Sixteen exhibits and six tables summarize what is known of progress to date. Appendix A lists state progress on core indicators. Appendixes B and C contain technical notes and acknowledgements.

Hearings before the Subcommittee on Labor of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources. United States Senate (March 16, 1994 and July 26, 1994). AN - 62712799; ED376378 AB - This document contains testimony from two Senate hearings on the Reemployment and Training Act of 1994 by U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert B. Reich and other witnesses concerning the Act and the need for changes in the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, which requires employers to notify employees of impending layoffs. According to Reich, the Reemployment and Training Act is a response to the problem of long-term unemployment and the need to retrain workers dislocated from older industries and prepare them for high-skills jobs in emerging industries. The Reemployment Act rests on four core principles: (1) universal access and program consolidation; (2) customer focus, giving workers a range of options and letting them choose the services they need to get the next job; (3) market-driven retraining; and (4) accountability. The Reemployment Act includes five titles. Title I establishes a comprehensive program for dislocated workers, regardless of the cause of dislocation. Title II establishes a program of income support for permanently dislocated workers while they are pursuing courses of retraining. Title III establishes a national program of grants and waivers to encourage and enable states to develop networks of one-stop career centers; Title IV establishes a national labor market information system to provide universal access to information about where the jobs are and the skills that the jobs require. Title V gives the Secretary of Labor authority to waive federal laws to empower states and localities to streamline job training programs for disadvantaged persons. Witnesses at the second hearing included the following: laid-off workers who testified about the need for retraining; officials of several job training programs who suggested what works in job retraining; and city officials, job training managers, and laid-off workers who testified about how the WARN Act works and how the legislation should be strengthened.

United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session (Santa Fe, New Mexico, August 21, 1993). AN - 62707321; ED377017 AB - A Congressional hearing held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, received testimony on the Goals 2000: Educate America Act as it applies to American Indian education. The purpose of the hearing was to explore ways in which American Indians can participate as equal partners in the process of reaching national consensus on education reform, including the development of content and performance standards and an assessment mechanism. A representative of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) described how BIA schools are addressing the six national goals as well as two additional goals concerning Indian culture and language and school facilities. A representative of the Navajo Nation outlined the history and philosophy of Navajo education, described the six school systems serving Navajo students, and discussed Navajo educational goals and interest in reform, particularly the establishment of a "Department of T'aa Dine Education" to oversee Navajo education in a manner similar to a state department of education. Pueblo leaders and educators praised the national goals while pointing out how interpretation of the goals from an inappropriate perspective could be damaging to Indian students; discussed the danger of raising expectations without providing needed financial support; described needs for educational facilities and culturally sensitive teachers; and addressed the problem of culturally biased evaluation instruments driving the curriculum.

Witnesses included Senators Glenn, Roth, Stevens, Sasser, Pryor, and Akaka, as well as several officials of the Office of Management and Budget and the Department of Defense. The witnesses generally supported the idea of the amendment but pointed out the need to ensure that new workers were not hired to replace each one who left and that top-level officials as well as lower supervisors and workers were chosen for early retirement or voluntary layoff.

AN - 62701373; ED381692 AB - This document provides an overview and minority viewpoints on Senate Bill 1020. S. 1020 would authorize the Department of Labor to make grants to nonprofit organizations to research, identify, and develop new and advanced workplace technologies and practices to promote the improvements of workers' skills, wages, working conditions, and job security. These organizations would then, in turn, disseminate such information to workers, workers' organizations, employers, state industrial extension programs, and manufacturing technology centers and provide technical assistance to encourage the use of such technologies and practices in the workplace. The report includes information on the background and need for the legislation, history of the legislation and votes in committee, explanation of the bill and committee views, cost estimates, regulatory impact, and additional views. In addition, some senators conclude that the proposed legislation is illegal because it violates provisions of the National Labor Regulations Act against labor-management cooperation. They propose an amendment called the TEAM (Teamwork for Employees and Management) Act as an alternative.

AN - 62691605; ED375835 AB - The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS), an arm of the Library of Congress, leads a highly successful national program to produce and distribute books and magazines for blind, visually impaired, and physically handicapped individuals. A fostering relationship exists between NLS and a network of 143 regional and local libraries that serve blind and handicapped readers directly. By developing and disseminating centralized policies and procedures at the national level, NLS is able to sustain a uniform quality of service throughout the library system. Each year NLS receives permission to reproduce, with no royalties charged, more than 2,000 book titles for loan. In addition, NLS has systematically developed a collection that provides access to some 220,000 recorded and embossed titles in 16 million copies for a variety of blind and handicapped users. Copyright clearance, which is vital for a program that reproduces so many titles, and cataloging are important features of the NLS approach: both cassette and flexible disc recordings can be used only with special playback equipment. NLS also has a role in the narrative reproduction or braille embossing of materials and the distribution of discs, cassettes, and playback equipment. The NLS serves as a resource for a clientele of extremely varied tastes and needs.

Testimony was heard from U.S. Secretary of Education, Richard W. Riley, accompanied by Marshall Smith, Under Secretary of Education, and Tom Payzant, Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education. Secretary Riley outlined the major points of the IAS Act, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to education that focuses on the student, family, school, and school system, and not simply on specific deficiencies. The Act emphasizes: (1) high standards for all children; (2) a focus on teaching and learning; (3) targeting resources to where needs are greatest; (4) flexibility coupled with greater accountability; and (5) linking schools, parents, and communities. Prepared statements and additional materials were presented by Secretary Riley; Representatives Eliot L. Engel, Gene Green, and Thomas C.

Volume 1, Secondary School Students. AN - 62687585; ED377431 AB - This report summarizes a national survey of drug use and related attitudes among American secondary school students. All of its data came from an ongoing national research and reporting program entitled, "Monitoring the Future: A Continuing Study of the Lifestyles and Values of Youth." These surveys address two major topics: (1) the prevalence of drug use among American students in 8th, 10th, and 12th grades; and (2) drug use trends by those students. Distinctions were drawn among demographic subgroups, incidence of first use recorded, trends in use at lower grade levels, and intensity of drug use. Also included were key attitudes about illicit drug use--incorporating perceptions of the social environment--as potential explanatory factors. The research focused on frequent drug use rather than analyzing everyone who has ever used drugs. This strategy serves to differentiate levels of seriousness, or extent, of drug involvement. Survey results indicate that the last decade witnessed an appreciable decrease in the use of numerous illicit drugs among seniors. However, eighth-graders exhibited a significant increase in some drug use, such as marijuana, cocaine, and LSD. This latter evidence may indicate that younger cohorts have less opportunity to learn though informal means about the dangers of drugs. Two appendixes present the prevalence and trend estimates adjusted for absentees and dropouts, and definitions of background and demographic subgroups. (RJM) AU - Johnston, Lloyd D.

AN - 62639279; ED387389 AB - Intended to provide school officials an understanding of the legal aspects of common religious liberty and church-state questions in the public school context, this pamphlet attempts an objective summary of the current status of church-state law as it applies to the public schools. The document seeks to catalogue objectively the law as found in authoritative legal sources. Rather than citing all case law on a specific issue, where earlier decisions are subsumed or superseded by a controlling Supreme Court decision, the pamphlet cites only the Supreme Court precedent. Only when the document believes rulings are cast into doubt by subsequent developments or where the decisions themselves are unusually doubtful does it comment on the correctness of decisions/opinions cited. The document includes sections on the law regarding: prayer in school; teaching about religion; use of classroom space for religious activity; holiday observances; release time programs; physical facilities; dual enrollment; distribution of religious literature; baccalaureate services and graduation; scientific creationism; curriculum content; secular humanism; compulsory attendance and religious holidays; dress codes; vaccination requirements; and teachers' responsibilities and rights. The pamphlet concludes with a subject index for quick reference. Included is a separate December 1994 update citing and summarizing recent changes in the law on religion and the public schools.

AN - 62637265; ED396180 AB - This book, which is written and designed for intermediate adult literacy students, relates selected outcomes of 12 "woman-positive" literacy and adult basic education programs that were sponsored/studied in different parts of Canada by the Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW). Part 1 discusses the mission of the CCLOW, the action-based research project during which the 12 literacy programs were conducted/studied, and the book's intended uses. Part 2 examines selected "woman-positive" actions/accomplishments of the 12 programs. Among the actions described are the following: giving women opportunities to talk to and help one another; visiting women in the community; developing a policy against sexual harassment; starting a women's committee; having women talk/write about their lives; making classes more feminist; developing resource booklets; and considering having the role of women in union-based literacy and coeducational literacy programs. Discussed in part 3 are the following findings of the exploratory study: several factors (violence, poverty, isolation, sex bias/discrimination) make literacy more difficult for women; literacy work is difficult but can be satisfying; and programs could be made more positive for women by starting woman-positive activities, ensuring that learning materials are realistic, and involving learners in decisions.

AN - 62626215; ED396181 AB - The experiences of Canadian women in adult basic education and literacy (ABEL) were examined in a national research project during which 2 contact women from each of 12 ABEL programs across Canada spend one-half day each week "researching" their program's "woman-positive" activities and the consequences of those activities for staff, students, and their program as a whole. The 24 women spent their project time reflecting on their programs alone and with others, writing journals that were eventually sent to the project's coordinating researchers, and developing documentation of the personal, professional, political, and structural changes observed in their ABEL programs during the year-long research project. The 24 women represented a wide range of age groups (23-56 years old), educational levels (grade 12 to a postgraduate degree), and years of experience in adult basic education and literacy (1-20 years). The research revealed the diverse experiences of women in different ABEL programs in different parts of Canada, emphasized the difficulties in focusing attention on members of marginalized groups, highlighted the lack of information about literacy workers in Canada, and provided a model for program-based action research beginning with frontline workers' experiences. (Approximately 50% of this document is devoted to descriptions of the 12 programs studied. Contains 77 references.)

The first is through French feminist philosopher Helene Cixous, whose work is concerned with feminine body & desire, & the feminine body's creativity. Interpreting the painting through Cixous, Frida becomes a feminine subject celebrating the truth of her embodiment, a visual example of ecriture feminine (feminine writing). The second (preferred) reading is through Michel Foucault, whose work is concerned with the nature & operation of power in society. Through Foucault's philosophy, Frida as a feminine subject makes herself through her painting. Frida contributes to the idealized femininity through her pursuit of that ideal. Foucault's reading gives the artist recognition for real creative activity. 9 References. Adapted from the source document.

Among the various State congressional delegations that made up the Fortieth Congress, few were more diverse than the eight-man Iowa delegation. Their deeply felt concerns and personal anguish in determining the fate of the Nation's seventeenth President typify the total array of forces involved in that constitutional struggle.

AN - 21270265; 11701572 AB - The in vivo micronucleus assay can be analyzed by comparing the number of micronuclei (MN) of several dose groups with those of a control group. In several publications, difficulties arose in estimating a suitable distribution for MN, even in the untreated historical control groups. Mitchell et al. described the presence of a subpopulation of more susceptible responders. Based on this assumption of such a subpopulation, score tests were used for the mixing distribution of responders and nonresponders (behavior same as in untreated control animals) within the dose groups. The power behavior of these tests was characterized with a simulation study. The advantage of score tests can be shown, even in the practical and important guideline case of only five animals per group.

AN - 21261836; 11701575 AB - Recently, the linear-quadratic equation has been used to construct the dose-response relationships of ionizing radiation. The radiobiological theory on which this relationship is based indicates that at low doses, the risk of a biological lesion being formed should depend linearly on dose if a single event is required or quadratically on dose if two events are required. The same approach has also been used to construct the shouldered survival curves, which indicate a lower response of cell killing at low doses of low linear energy transfer (LET) radiation than at high doses because of repair. However, a different approach is possible, derived from the concept of generating the hybrid lognormal distribution, in which the hybrid form of linear and logarithmic components of a random variable is used. The hybrid form is a formulation of the phenomenon in which there is a feedback mechanism against the large change in the random variable. This paper presents a new model of shouldered survival curves, called a hybrid scale model, which has two parameters: the inactivation constant and the protective factor. In the model, the surviving fraction, normalized by a protective factor plotted in a hybrid scale, is assumed to be linear against the dose. This simple model provides an implication of the shoulder of survival curve and the effect of recovery time of radiation damage, as well as giving a good to the well-known data of split-dose experiments with mammalian cells.

AN - 21253638; 11701574 AB - The three-state illness-death model provides a useful way to characterize data from a rodent tumorigenicity experiment. Most parametrizations proposed recently in the literature assume discrete time for the death process and either discrete or continuous time for the tumor onset process. We compare these approaches with a third alternative that uses a piecewise continuous model on the hazards for tumor onset and death. All three models assume proportional hazards to characterize tumor lethality and the effect of dose on tumor onset and death rate. All of the models can easily be fitted using an Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. The piecewise continuous model is particularly appealing in this context because the complete data likelihood corresponds to a standard piecewise exponential model with tumor presence as a time-varying covariate. It can be shown analytically that differences between the parameter estimates given by each model are explained by varying assumptions about when tumor onsets, deaths, and sacrifices occur within intervals. The mixed-time model is seen to be an extension of the grouped data proportional hazards model [Mutat. Res. 24:267-278 (1981)]. We argue that the continuous-time model is preferable to the discrete- and mixed-time models because it gives reasonable estimates with relatively few intervals while still making full use of the available information. Data from the ED01 experiment illustrate the results.

AN - 21253299; 11701578 AB - The principal conclusions and opportunities that can be drawn from this conference are as follows. The meeting demonstrated the large communication gap that still exists between most epidemiologists and laboratory scientists. This problem could be overcome if epidemiologists worked closely with laboratory scientists at the outset of any project so that a better understanding could be built between them. Epidemiologists need simple, well-characterized, reproducible assays that can be applied to hundreds or thousands of people. Most laboratory scientists have little interest in running large numbers of assays, but wish to continually refine their methods so that they stay on the "cutting edge" of basic research. This problem could be overcome if the new laboratory technology could be transferred to contract laboratories or small companies. Problems of technology transfer therefore need to be addressed. Current and new biomarkers need to be better validated in the field and by studying animal models. More information on the background expression of biomarkers in the general population is needed (i.e. what is the normal range?). Ethical issues, such as the possibility that biomarkers of susceptibility could be used to exclude people from the workplace, need to be addressed.

AN - 21253237; 11701576 AB - Breast milk samples from 38 women in New Zealand were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) as part of a World Health Organization collaborative study of breast-milk contaminants. The women were recruited from two urban areas (Auckland and Christchurch) and two rural areas (Northland and North Canterbury) in the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The best predictor of contaminant concentrations in breast milk was found to be the age of the mother. Regional differences were found for hexachlorobenzene, dieldrin, and pp-DDE, reflecting historical use patterns. Urban-rural differences were found for several PCBs, PCDDs, and PCDFs when contaminant concentrations were calculated on a whole-milk basis. However, these differences could be attributed to variation in breast-milk fat concentrations between urban and rural mothers. Urban mothers had about 50% more breast-milk fat than rural mothers. Evidence suggests that breast-milk consumption by babies is regulated by caloric intake. Almost all of the caloric content of milk is in the fat fraction. This suggests that breast-milk contaminant levels calculated on a whole-milk basis do not necessarily reflect the relative levels of exposure of infants to these contaminants. However, the factors that influence breast-milk fat concentration deserve further study.

AN - 21251340; 11703205 AB - Droplets of toluene and three chlorinated organics, ortho-dichlorobenzene, 1,2-dichloroethane, and trichloroethylene, were pyrolyzed in pure nitrogen. The composition and bacterial mutagenicity of the product tars were measured. The presence of organic chlorine was found to affect both pyrolysis product tar composition and total tar mutagenicity. Pyrolysis in the absence of chlorine produced tars whose bacterial mutagenicity was found to be largely due to the presence of cyclopenta[cd]pyrene, fluoranthene, and benzo[a]pyrene. Small amounts of chlorine in the fuel (i.e., Cl/H molar ratios of less than 0.3) enhanced the formation of highly condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (including cyclopenta[cd]pyrene) and increased tar mutagenicity. Larger amounts of organic chlorine (Cl/H ratios of between 0.3 and 0.6) resulted in significant yields of mono- and dichlorinated aromatics and higher levels of tar mutagenicity, which could not be accounted for by the presence of mutagens produced by pyrolysis in the absence of chlorine. Furthermore, unlike tars containing little or no chlorine, tars containing aryl chlorine were more mutagenic in the absence of added enzymes (intended to mimic in vivo mammalian metabolism) than in their presence. We hypothesize that at least one of the chlorinated aromatic products is strongly mutagenic. Two specific conditions that gave notably different results were a) the low-temperature (i.e., below 1400 K) pyrolysis of ortho-dichlorobenzene, which produced tri- and tetrachlorinated biphenyls almost exclusively; and b) the chlorine-rich pyrolysis of trichloroethylene, during which mostly perchloroaromatics were formed. Neither of these tars was found to mutate bacteria.

AN - 21249807; 11703204 AB - Polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PBDDs) and dibenzofurans (PBDFs) occur as trace (ppb) contaminants in brominated flame retardants and are produced during combustion of these chemicals. They are also formed when organics are incinerated in the presence of bromine, e.g., in municipal and industrial incinerators and in internal-combustion engines. Combustion of organics in the presence of both bromine and chlorine results in the formation of mixed (i.e., bromo, bromo/chloro and chloro) halogenated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (HDDs and HDFs). There are 4600 potential mixed congeners. The biological effects of PBDDs and PBDFs are similar, if not identical, to those of PCDDs and PCDFs. Both groups of compounds induce hepatic aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) and ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase (EROD) in rats and cause wasting and thymic atrophy in rats and guinea pigs. Tetrabrominated dinenzo-p-dioxin (TBDD) and dibenzofuran (TBDF) are reproductive toxins in mice and produce skin lesions in the rabbit-ear acnegenic test. The brominated compounds appear to bind to the same cytosolic receptors believed to mediate the toxicities of the chlorinated analogs. When compared on a molar-concentration basis, the brominated compounds are equipotent to the chlorinated analogs. TBDD is absorbed after oral, dermal, or intratracheal administration in rats, stored in the liver and adipose tissue, and eliminated in the feces through biliary excretion. The biological half-lives of the brominated compounds appear to be somewhat shorter than those of the corresponding chlorinated species. The brominated compounds, like their chlorinated congeners, have the potential to cause dermal, hepatic, and gastrointestinal toxicities in humans.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Mennear, J H AU - Lee, C C AD - Campbell University, School of Pharmacy, Buies Creek, NC 27506.

Exposure to artificial light of wavelengths 290-800nm caused a rapid decline in viability of each strain examined. T sub(90) values (the time taken for 90% of the population to be inactivated) were similar to 50 min, 40 min and 2 h for E. coli, S. zanzibar and the faecal Streptococcus respectively. Selective removal of UV-B wavelengths (<320 nm) increased survival of E. coli and S. zanzibar, resulting in T sub(90) values of similar to 2.5 h. Screening out wavelengths of <370 nm (UV-B and most of UV-A) increased T sub(90) values to 5 h for . coli and 10 h for S. zanzibar. The visible band of the spectrum (400-800 nm) also had detrimental effects on faecal bacteria, when compared with survival in the absence of light. Rates of decline for E. coli in natural light in Antarctica were similar to those from laboratory experiments. However, resuscitation of sub-lethally damaged cells under optimum conditions resulted in greater recovery rates than were observed after exposure to artificial sunlight. Faecal bacteria were rapidly inactivated when exposed to sunlight in Antarctic waters, and as repair mechanisms are unlikely to operate under in situ conditions, resuscitation of sub-lethally damaged cells is improbable.

The study used 0.05-m-diameter microplots to follow the changes in mineral N, and 0.15-m-diameter microplots fertilised within super(15)N-labelled urea (6 g N/m super(2); 5 atom % super(15)N) to assess losses of applied N. When urea was applied in February (34 weeks before sowing), 84% of applied N was lost from the soil. Loss of applied N was reduced by addition of nitrapyrin and phenylacetylene, to 53 and 57%, respectively. In the absence of nitrification inhibitors, less N was lost (72% of that applied) from an application in May than from the February application. Addition of acetylene, phenylacetylene, and nitrapyrin reduced losses over the 24 weeks to sowing to 57, 52, and 48%, respectively. These experiments show that N loss from presowing applications of urea can be significantly reduced by the use of nitrification inhibitors, but that the losses of N are still substantial.

Azo dye detection of monoclonal antibody-labeled cysts attached to a nylon membrane provided a rapid, sensitive assay suitable for field use. There was no cross-reaction with other Phytophthora and Pythium species in controlled environment assays or with soil or other organic matter that adhered to the membrane. The assay was as sensitive as a Eucalyptus sieberi baiting assay and, when run together with the baiting assay, was quantitative for an infested soil-water suspension from 2.5 x 10 super(2) to 5 x 10 super(3) zoospores per milliliter. The assay was used successfully to detect P. cinnamomi in a wide range of soil samples collected from beneath a diverse range of host species. There are several advantages to using the dipstick assay compared with traditional procedures: familiarity with Phytophthora taxonomy is not required; the assay can be performed by unskilled personnel; and soil rather than infected plant tissues can be assayed. Field testing of the assay showed that in kit form, it could be used as a reliable diagnostic tool to replace or augment current isolation and detection methods. The dipstick assay should find broad use for the detection of P. cinnamomi in soil from forests and plant communities and in the horticultural and ornamental crops affected by this pathogen.

All were found to contain either one or two megaplasmids, ranging in size from 48 to >680 kb. No cross-hybridization was found to occur between megaplasmids from the different species. In addition, no homology exists between the megaplasmids and the smaller plasmids ( less than or equal to 48 kb) also found in these bacteria. Furthermore, no differences in plasmid profiles between phase I and phase II Xenorhabdus were found, indicating that the process of phase variation observed in these organisms is not the result of any plasmid loss. The two megaplasmids of Xenorhabdus nematophilus A24/1 were restriction mapped. These megaplasmids maybe involved in the symbiosis with entomopathogenic nematodes of the families Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae.

Predictive relationships between total body water and total body fat contents, total body protein content, and gross energy were calculated. These equations allow accurate estimation of harp seal body composition provided total body water content and body mass are known. Using these data we compared the accuracy of three existing equations that have been used to predict body fat content of other species. We found that in adult harp seals, lean body mass has a relatively stable hydration of 70% but the hydration of blubber varied with body condition. Lipid content, and thus energy density of blubber, increased with increasing body condition.

Much of the research necessary to evaluate the risk of the possible health effects to humans will be supported by the U.S. Federal Government, either specifically to elucidate the effects from exposure to SVFs, or more generally to improve the process of risk assessment. In this context, the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) examined the Federal research activities to improve risk assessment, with a focus on current activities and the funding and management of that research. OTA defined risk assessment research as research designed to improve the process of health risk assessment or chemical-specific risk estimates. OTA found that risk assessment is not a national research priority. Environmental health research funding has neither kept up with increases in health research nor with increases in environmental mandates that depend on that research for decision making. OTA finds the need to stress the interdependency and the linkage of the various research activities, risk assessment, and policy making. Finally, the exploration of many promising areas for research requires linkages not only among various scientific disciplines but also with decision makers.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Complete regression of human fibrosarcoma xenografts after local Newcastle disease virus therapy AN - 17004885; 3849219 AB - We have recently demonstrated that a single local injection of the avian pathogen Newcastle disease virus (NDV; strain 73-T) causes complete regression of human neuroblastoma xenografts in athymic mice. In this report, we tried to determine if this in vivo antineoplastic effect of NDV extends to human sarcomas. Athymic mice with s.c. HT1080 fibrosarcoma xenografts (7-14 mm) were randomly divided into two groups and treated i.t. with a single injection of either 10 super(7) plaque-forming units of NDV or phosphate-buffered saline. Complete tumor regression occurred in 8 of 10 mice treated with NDV while unabated tumor growth occurred in all 9 mice treated with phosphate-buffered saline. To determine if complete tumor regression was long lasting, the 8 mice were monitored for 1 year, during which time no tumor recurred. To test the antitumor effects of NDV on tumors derived from a fresh human sarcoma, a similar experiment was performed in athymic mice using TH15145 synovial sarcoma xenografts at their first and second passages. Of 9 mice with TH15145 xenografts, a single i.t. injection of NDV (10 super(7) plaque-forming units) caused complete regression of 3 tumors and >80% regression in 3 more tumors. In contrast, tumors in all 5 mice treated with phosphate-buffered saline exhibited unabated growth. Since HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells express the N-ras oncogene, we explored the effects that transfection of this oncogene has on the sensitivity to NDV. Cultured human fibroblasts that were made tumorigenic following N-ras-transfection were found to be 1000-fold more sensitive to NDV than normal fibroblasts in a cytotoxicity assay. Oncogene expression by the HT1080 fibrosarcoma may therefore contribute to the long-lasting complete regression of this sarcoma following a single local injection of NDV.

A holistic systems approach to estimating and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural, forestry and other systems requires that the major inputs, components and outputs of the production system are defined. Fluxes of greenhouse gases in natural systems may be estimated by mathematical modelling of the major biological processes and activities. Field and laboratory experiments and information from satellites provide the raw data on which such models are based. Such an approach can have a significant role in guiding key decision makers and policy analysts. We conclude that management strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and forestry are likely to be strategies that will also contribute to ecologically sustainable development.

It also examines the energy requirements and heat balance in exercising marsupials. Marsupials have mass-specific metabolic rates that lie at the lower end of the mammalian range but this is not reflected in locomotory energetics as quadrupedal marsupials fit the predictive model derived from placentals. The group that does not conform to the model contains the larger hopping macropods in which an independence between metabolic rate and hopping speed is achieved on treadmills at most speeds by the storage of elastic strain energy in tendons. This yields a saving of up to 50% of the energy that would be otherwise used for locomotion. The carriage of pouch young appears to reduce the maximum running speed in quadrupedal marsupials but may be cost-neutral in hopping species. Respiration is entrained to the step cycle in wallabies by means of a visceral piston, but no entrainment of the cardiac cycle has been observed. The consequences of these phenomena are discussed. Marsupials appear to exploit their low body temperatures as a means of storing heat generated during running. Paradoxically, this does not lessen their dependence on evaporative heat loss.

A total of 53 species was recorded. Total germinable seed density was not influenced by aspect nor by an experimental fire treatment, however, densities varied significantly, but not predictably, over the time since fire sequence. Species diversity was significantly lower in the 86 year old stand, but neither diversity or richness was influenced by the fire treatment. Soils from north facing slopes supported a higher species diversity overall, and seed densities of six species were significantly higher on north than on south slopes. We identify two functional groups in the seed bank on the basis of the direct effects of fire on seed densities: a fire-dependent group, comprising 6 species and about 21% of the total seed bank, in which germinable densities increased after the fire treatment, and a fire-independent group, made up of 11 species and almost two-thirds of the seed bank. The fire-independent group is further separated into two: a shrub-centred sub-group (Crassula erecta, Filago californica, Pterostegia drymarioides, Streptanthus heterophyllus and Cryptantha intermedia) maintained larger seed banks in older stands and was associated with shrub cover; and an opportunistic sub-group (Camissonia hirtella, Gnaphalium chilense, Mimulus pilosus and Senecio vulgaris) tended to have larger seed banks in younger stands and was associated with canopy gaps. Overall, the soil seed assemblage from this mixed chaparral does not appear to be tightly coupled to fire-generated opportunities for recruitment. The reason for this is that the fire-dependent group represents only 6 species. In addition, among the fire-independent species, the shrub-centred group of 5 annuals made up almost 40% of total soil seed density. This group shows ecological and taxonomic affinities with desert annuals. JF - Vegetatio AU - Zammit, C AU - Zedler, PH AD - State Environ. Rep. Unit, Dep.

Don shows further progress in the development of a mixed eucalypt-pine stand. Earlier (Chilvers and Burdon 1983) it was clear that pines invading from an adjacent commercial plantation were starting to contribute their own progeny to the mixed stand. Initially the recruitment of established pines (>1 m high) from these seedlings was very slow. However, since 1984, increasing numbers of seedlings have survived beyond their first year, suggesting the possibility of another wave of successful establishment in the near future. The established fraction of the pine population continued to grow rapidly and incurred no mortality. Many of these plants have now emerged through the top of the eucalypt canopy. In contrast, both juvenile and adult eucalypt numbers continued to decline. Despite these demographic and visual changes, comparative analysis of the growth of established pines over two consecutive 7-year periods (1974-1981; 1981-1988) showed that competition between neighbouring plants, especially pines, is beginning to affect individual growth rates. Growth rates of pines having other pines as nearest neighbours declined 40% between 1974-1981 and 1981-1988, while that of pines with eucalypts as nearest neighbours fell by 28%. In pine-pine nearest neighbour (NN) pairs, growth rates were significantly affected by the size (diameter) of the nearest neighbour. In pine-eucalypt NN pairs growth rates of the pines were not affected by the size of the eucalypt, but these were significantly negatively correlated with the inverse of the distance to the eucalypt. More broad-based assessment of 43 pines showed a significant relationship between their growth rates and the summed competitive effect of other pines within a 5-m radius. No such relationship was found between growth rate and the summed competitive effect of eucalypts in the 5-m zone. JF - Oecologia AU - Burdon, J J AU - Chilvers, G A AD - Div.

Transitions of shade grown plants to full sunlight can cause reductions in the efficiency with which light is used in photosynthesis, called photoinhibition. In order to assess the influence of photoinhibition on mortality and growth after rainforest disturbance this study examined photoinhibition in both simulated and real forest disturbances in northern Papua New Guinea. In an experiment simulating rainforest disturbance, exposure of shade-grown plants to full sunlight resulted in abrupt decreases in the chlorophyll fluorescence parameter F sub(v)/F sub(m) that is characteristic of photoinhibition. However, in the well-watered plants used in these experiments there were no fatalities during 3 weeks after exposure to full sunlight. Thus, it is unlikely that photoinhibition, alone, is responsible for seedling fatalities after rainforest disturbances, but more likely that fatalities are due to photoinhibition in conjunction with other environmental stress. There were differences between the response of species to the simulated disturbance that concurred with their preferred habitats. For example, species form the genus Barringtonia, which is commonly found in shaded understorey environments, underwent greater reductions in F sub(v)/F sub(m) and were slower to recover than species that usually inhabit high solar radiation environments. The extent of photoinhibition and the rate of recovery appeared to be dependent on avoidance of direct solar radiation by altering leaf angles and on increasing maximum photosynthetic rates. A field survey of photoinhibition in man-made rainforest gaps corroborated the findings of the simulated disturbance experiment showing that plant species commonly found in shaded environments showed a greater degree of photoinhibition in forest gaps at midday than those species which are classified as species that benefit from gaps or specialist gap inhabitors.

Traditional tillage techniques like deep ripping and ploughing have not provided long-term improvements of these soils. Slotting is a new deep-tillage technique that provides long-term improvement in crop yields and water-use efficiency on these problem soils. The technique involves cutting slots, typically 0.15 m wide, 0.5-1.0 m deep, and spaced 1-2 m apart, with a chemical ameliorant or organic matter incorporated into the loosened soil in the slot. The slot configuration and the ameliorant added is varied according to the soil, cropping practices, and climate of the area. The loosened soil in the narrow slot is largely protected from recompaction during subsequent trafficking, thus providing long-term benefits. The technique was originally developed for adding gypsum to depth on sodic soils. Field trials showed marked improvement in crop production, increased and deeper infiltration of water, and deeper rooting to take advantage of this water, thus reducing periods of water stress. Slotting reduced runoff and hence should reduce erosion on sloping lands. Field and lysimeter studies have shown promising results with lime-slotting of soils with sub-soil acidity. Lime-slotting led to increased depth of rooting, water extraction, and crop yields. Another potential application is waste-slotting for land treatment of urban and rural waste.

In fibroblastic cells it is concentrated in the vesicles which recycle transferrin receptors but its role in membrane trafficking and fusion remains to be demonstrated. Cellubrevin, like the synaptic vesicle proteins synaptobrevins I and II, can be cleaved by tetanus toxin, a metallo-endoprotease which blocks neurotransmitter release. However, non-neuronal cells are unaffected by the toxin due to lack of cell surface receptors for its heavy chain. To determine whether cellubrevin cleavage impairs exocytosis of recycling vesicles, we tested the effect of tetanus toxin light chain on the release of preinternalized transferrin from streptolysin-O-perforated CHO cells. The release was found to be temperature and ATP dependent as well as NEM sensitive. Addition of tetanus toxin light chain, but not of a proteolytically inactive form of the toxin, resulted in a partial inhibition of transferrin release which correlated with the toxin-mediated cleavage of cellubrevin. The residual release of transferrin occurring after complete cellubrevin degradation was still ATP dependent. Our results indicate that cellubrevin plays an important role in the constitutive exocytosis of vesicles which recycle plasmalemma receptors. The incomplete inhibition of transferrin release produced by the toxin suggests the existence of a cellubrevin-independent exocytotic mechanism, which may involve tetanus toxin-insensitive proteins of the synaptobrevin/VAMP family.

Physical processes affecting shallow watertables occur in both the unsaturated and saturated phases. Saturated and unsaturated flows occur continuously, whereas climatic, soil, and hydrogeologic parameters affecting the flow vary temporally and spatially. Modelling such processes mathematically allows predictions to be made and improves our understanding of system behaviour. We have developed a Soil Water And Groundwater SIMulation model (SWAGSIM) to predict watertable fluctuations in an extensively irrigated subregion. Evaporative demand is estimated from climatic variables using a locally calibrated Penman model. To estimate the actual evaporation from the surface, the Penman model is corrected for varying evaporative surfaces and soil water content. Recharge to the watertable is estimated using an analytical solution for Richards' equation, with actual evaporation as the surface boundary condition and the watertable as the lower boundary condition. Finally, fluctuations of the watertable are determined using a finite-difference groundwater model. The model was applied to the Camarooka project area near Griffith (Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, N.S.W.) to gauge the effect of area under rice, weather, and initial depth to watertables on the extent of shallow watertables and on vertical fluxes to and from the shallow watertables. The model showed that the present level of rice production (21% of the project area) will result in an equilibrium between recharge and discharge (capillary upflow and leakage) if weather conditions are dry during the year and watertables are deep at the beginning of the irrigation season.

Arx and Oliver var. tritici, abbreviated as Ggt]. Ggt growth was generally inhibited more in the presence of Indian mustard roots than canola roots. Dried irradiated roots were consistently effective in reducing Ggt growth, but growth inhibition by young live roots and macerated roots was not consistent. The inhibitory compound(s) were shown to be volatile because the symmetry of Ggt growth was not affected by the proximity of the Brassica tissue. Volatile breakdown products from macerated Brassica roots were identified using a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. The major compounds found were isothiocyanates (ITCs). Canola roots released mostly methyl ITC and Indian mustard roots released mostly phenylethyl ITC. Low concentrations of these and related compounds inhibited growth of Ggt in pure culture when supplied as the vapour of pure chemicals in concentrations within the range expected during breakdown of Brassica roots in soil.

The program uses a two-dimensional hybrid finite-element and integrated finite-difference method, and fundamental to this numerical modelling is the issue of mesh generation. Present mesh construction provided by SUTRA is limited to rectangular, equally spaced finite elements in cartesian or radial-cylindrical coordinate systems. Mesh generation is often time consuming, and in many situations a much more versatile mesh is required for effective simulation. This is particularly true when modelling pumping wells, non-uniform recharge and discharge, non-homogenous soil properties (such as hydraulic conductivity), and various boundary conditions. FEMCAD, originally developed to generate meshes for geomechanics problems, allows detailed and often quite complicated meshes to be constructed in a computer-aided design environment. In order for the FEMCAD mesh to be compatible with the requirements of SUTRA, a complete interface between FEMCAD and SUTRA has been developed. This interface, written in Fortran, accepts an ASCII output file generated by FEMCAD as its input and produces the necessary mesh information to be used by SUTRA, thereby making the FEMCAD software accessible to the groundwater modeller. Details of this software interface form the subject of this report. The interface software is available on floppy disk free from the authors.

The same organism had already been described by Ishiwata in 1902 as Bacillus sotto from Japan where it causes a wilt disease of silkworm caterpillars, but the description was not known to Berliner. Bt is now the accepted name for a range of aerobic spore-forming bacteria which form an insect toxic crystal during sporulation. However, many bacteriologists consider Bt to be a variant of Bacillus cereus, a ubiquitous soil-inhabiting bacterium. Since the pioneering work of Steinhaus in California in the early 1950s, there has been considerable commercial interest and products are now sold in most countries of the world for control of caterpillars (var. kurstaki, entomocidus, galleriae and Aizawai), mosquito and blackfly larvae (var. israelensis) and beetle larvae (var. tenebrionis and san diego).

After diagnosis of MAC by recovery of organisms from blood or other normally sterile sites, specific treatment with multiple-drug regimens is appropriate and may reduce morbidity. Multiple-drug regimens with agents active against MAC should be employed to reduce the development of drug resistance. Unfortunately, as most clinical trials of anti-MAC agents have lasted 12 weeks or less and have not compared specific agents, the most effective multiple-drug regimen has not been established. The U.S. Public Health Service Task Force on Prophylaxis and Therapy of MAC recommends treatment of disseminated disease with at least two antimycobacterial agents, one of which should be clarithromycin or possibly azithromycin. Ethambutol, which may have an additive or synergistic effect in combination with other anti-MAC agents, is a reasonable second drug. Other agents with activity include rifampin or rifabutin, clofazimine, ciprofloxacin, or parenteral amikacin. A microbiological response may require up to 2 to 8 weeks. The clinical response generally parallels the microbiological response. Rifabutin, which is licensed for prophylaxis of MAC, reduces the incidence of and delays the time to MAC bacteremia. Individuals at highest risk of MAC bacteremia (i.e., CD4 super(+) cell counts of <75-100 cells/ mu l) had the most benefit from rifabutin prophylaxis. Tuberculosis must be ruled out before rifabutin prophylaxis is initiated. Careful observation without prophylaxis is an acceptable alternative for those who are not able to take rifabutin or alternative agents.

Lung specimens obtained at postmortem and inflated and fixed under standard conditions were used to quantify the extent of emphysema and then to measure the amount of coal and silica present in the lungs at the time of death. These data were combined with clinical and other pathological information from the subjects. Multiple regression analysis showed that the extent of emphysema (E score) had a strong positive quantitative relation with coal content of the lungs, age, and smoking. There was a significant negative interaction of uncertain biological importance between coal content of the lungs and smoking. In lifelong non-smokers emphysema was particularly strongly related to coal content and age. The relation was basically unchanged by adding a lung silica content term.

The results indicate that the lower Passaic River is heavily contaminated due to recent and historical municipal and industrial discharges from local and upstream sources. The primary sources of PCBs, PAHs, and metals appear to be discharges of industrial effluents either directly into the waterway or through combined sewer overflows. Additional inputs are probably from urban runoff entering through combined sewer overflows and storm drains.

The slime appeared as a dense sheath covering bacteria. The presence of slime promoted hemagglutinating activity of the bacteria. The slime polysaccharide (SPS) isolated from the cell-free culture supernatant or the bacterial surface was less than 162,000 daltons in size and immunochemically similar. The SPS showed cross-reaction with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigen in immunological tests; however, it also appeared to be different from LPS since it did not contain 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate, a core sugar of LPS. A different pattern of separation from LPS was also observed by silver staining of SDS-polyacrylamide gels. From these data it appeared that either LPS and SPS are contaminated with each other or that SPS is the polysaccharide portion of LPS.

An attempt was made to elucidate the mechanisms of physiological costs of crest induction for this species. The crested morph of D. carinata reached a significantly larger size than the uncrested form. Reproductive output was similar in early instars, but the crested morph produced more eggs in latter broods. Instar duration was longer for the crested morph and age at first reproduction was delayed. Survival was also lower in this form. Crest construction required significant resources (equivalent to 60 eggs over a life time) but evidence is presented that these resources were obtained primarily by re-allocation of available material rather than collection of extra resources. The crested morph allocated significantly more resources to moulting than its uncrested counter-parts. The uncrested morph produced large eggs in early instars and progressively smaller ones in later instars. The crested morph produced only small eggs. The hypothesis is presented that the crest-induction strategy of D. carinata involves at least two separate sets of responses, each with its own costs and trade-offs. The first response is production of the crest. The cost of crest production is an increased cost of moulting. D. carinata off sets this cost by increasing instar duration and thus age at reproduction. The second response is increased size. D. carinata achieves this by reducing the fraction of available resources allocated to reproduction. The cost is lower reproductive output. JF - Oecologia AU - Barry, MJ AD - Key Cent. Appl. Nutr.

A general equation is derived for single substrate limited microbial growth. This equation provides a unifying theoretical basis that accounts for the more specialized cases represented by the commonly used empirical models of unstructured nature such as the Monod, Moser and multiple Monod equations and the empirical parameters appearing in these equations are shown to be physically well defined. Three sets of experimental data are used to test the general equation and the results are compared with those obtained by fitting the experimental data to the Monod, Moser and multiple Monod equations. The general equation is found to be more widely applicable and represent a better description of the experimental data because it includes the Monod, Moser and multiple Monod equations as special cases.

We compared the restriction fragment length polymorphisms of ctxA and rRNA genes (ribotypes) in 27 isolates of V. cholerae O139 from patients in Bangladesh and India with those of 48 isolates of V. cholerae O1 from patients and 21 V. cholerae isolates from surface waters in Bangladesh, which included 2 O139 and 19 other non-O1 isolates. Ribotyping of the isolates with Bg/I revealed that all 29 isolates of O139 vibrios belonged to a single ribotype, suggesting a clonal nature of the infection. However, the O139 vibrios comprised two ctxA genotypes and carried three or more copies of the ctxA gene, and the chromosomal locations of these copies were unlike those of the El Tor or classical vibrios. Analysis of the restriction fragment length polymorphisms of the rRNA genes suggested that V. cholerae O139 isolates are more closely related to El Tor strains of V. cholerae O1 than were 19 other non-O1 vibrios and 33 classical V. cholerae O1 isolates that were studied. However, further studies are needed to determine whether V. cholerae O139 originated from mutations and genetic changes in a V. cholerae O1 strain or was due to the acquisition of virulence genes by a previously unknown V. cholerae non-O1 strain.

Longitudinal, observational study. The Western Australian HIV Cohort Study; a prospective, single centre, population-based observational study of the natural history of HIV disease. Forty-nine patients with impaired delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses and negative tuberculin responses in whom DTH responses were augmented within 6 months of starting zidovudine therapy. Progression to disseminated MAC infection stratified according to the presence or absence of a tuberculin response in the first 6 months of zidovudine therapy. Twenty-nine of the patients developed a post-zidovudine tuberculin response. None of the tuberculin non-responders developed disseminated MAC infection during the study period; the Kaplan-Meier probability estimate of disseminated MAC infection was 50% at 24 months and reached 100% 40 months after zidovudine was commenced in tuberculin responders. All patients with disseminated MAC infection had become anergic to all antigens, including tuberculin, before diagnosis. The probability of a post-zidovudine tuberculin response was related to the severity of peripheral blood CD4+ T-cell depletion, rising from an estimated 20% at 20% CD4+ T cells to 100% at less than or equal to 1% CD4+ T cells. The restoration of a cellular immune response against subclinical MAC infection can be demonstrated by measuring the DTH response to tuberculin in patients with impaired DTH augmented by zidovudine therapy. The findings suggest that MAC infection is almost inevitable, but often asymptomatic, in profoundly immunodeficient HIV-infected patients and that a prolonged subclinical phase of MAC infection is usual.

ETBF was isolated from 22 (6.1%) of 358 patients and 5 (1.2%) of 425 controls. In children younger than 1 year, however, low isolation rates (2 to 3%) were found in both patients and controls. In children older than 1 year, the rates were significantly higher in children with diarrhea (16 [9%] of 177) than in controls (2 [1%] of 264). When children with mixed infections with other known diarrheal pathogens were removed, the differences in children older than 1 year were still significant (7 [4%] of 177 versus 2 [1%] of 264). The syndrome associated with ETBF was secretory in nature, with watery diarrhea, and of mild severity. These epidemiological and clinical findings are similar to those from a previous study of White Mountain Apaches in the United States and are the first to suggest that ETBF may also be an important diarrheal pathogen in other geographic areas and in the developing world where diarrhea is highly endemic.

Organisations such as the Baltic Co-operation Council and HELCOM and agreements such as the Helsinki Convention, the Baltic Sea Declaration, and the Gdansk Convention, already exist to facilitate co-operation. Successful implementation of these conventions requires commitment at the national level. Lithuania's commitment is hampered by internal economic, and political problems which must be surmounted if the country is to reduce its impact on the Baltic Sea.

The lower frequency of inundation of wetlands reduces the number of successful breeding and regeneration events in floodplain biota, causing a decline in the health and vigour of many floodplain plants and animals. The potential for rehabilitation of floodplain wetlands through increased flushing flows has been demonstrated. The ultimate aim is to enhance habitat value and achieve maximum biodiversity. Future opportunities are identified for hydrological manipulation within river operating strategies to extend beneficial management on a floodplain scale to improve wetland habitat. These can be combined with rehabilitation techniques such as specific water allocations, grazing controls and physical works on individual wetlands to ensure preservation and sustainable management of natural wetlands along the South Australian Murray Valley. Results so far indicate that successful restoration of the wetlands will take a number of flushing events and will be dependent primarily on the acceleration and protection of natural regeneration processes.

The main source of these contaminants is from the combustion of biofuel. Low level and chronic exposure occurs mainly in indoor environments. Acute and high level exposure can occur in a variety of industrial, agricultural, mining, and military settings. The adverse effect of chronic and low level exposure on lung function has been suggested by several epidemiologic studies. However, the results of controlled human exposure to ambient concentrations of NO sub(x) have been inconsistent. On the other hand, acute exposure to high levels of NO sub(x) has a relatively predictable clinical response in the form of airway irritation, development of pulmonary edema and, in some cases chronic airway disease. There are several lines of evidence to support the role of nutritional antioxidants in amelioration of oxidant lung damage induced by NO sub(x). JF - Toxicology. Vol. 89, no. 3. 1994.

The study was a cross-sectional survey with a convenience sample drawn from drug treatment (54%) and non-treatment (46%) populations. In the sample of 150 IDUs, there were 11 very risky drug behaviour (VRDB) and 63 very risky sex behaviour (VRSB) respondents. Four respondents fell into both categories. Independent comparisons were made between each risk group and the rest of the sample. The VRDB respondents were heterosexual men, most of whom were in long-term monogamous relationships, with heavier levels of drug use than the rest of the sample. The VRSB respondents were largely single and mainly heterosexual, with more sexual partners than the rest of the sample. It was concluded that there was little evidence that very risky behaviour was related to a general risk-taking dimension, to inadequate knowledge about AIDS or to a low assessment of personal vulnerability to AIDS. However, situational influences in association with heavy drug use appeared to be a major component of high-risk injecting behaviour, while high-risk sexual behavior appeared more to be a reflection of community norms about heterosexual sexual behaviour. The study should be replicated with larger samples, particularly as the VRDB group was so small, but if the findings are reproduced in other studies, it suggests that serious attention should be paid to the promotion of safer sex among injecting drug users.

Because the performance of aquatic plants depends on these factors, an understanding of their influence is essential to ensure that systems function at their full potential. The responses differed for two emergent species, indicating that within this morphological category, optimal performance will fall at different locations across a depth or water regime gradient. The performance of one species was unaffected by growth in mixture, whereas the other performed better in deep water and worse in shallow.

In contrast to mature T cells or the jurkat cell line, PER-117 cells require interleukin-1 (IL-1) for optimal IL-2 secretion, in addition to calcium ionophore and phorbol 12-myristate 12-acetate (PMA). These requirements mirror the conditions reported to be optimal for normal immature T cell receptor (TCR) negative thymocytes. IL-1 did not substitute for either of the other signals required for IL-2 production, i.e., calcium ionophore or PMA, suggesting that IL-1 activates pathways different from those elicited by the two other stimuli. The studies reported here provide the first evidence that three signals are required for optimal IL-2 production in a human immature T cell line. PER-117 cells produce substantial levels of IL-2 and thus provide a model to study stage-specific signal transduction and transcriptional activation of the IL-2 gene in IL-1 responsive immature thymocytes.

Ponded infiltration rate, water content, and drainage were measured by the instantaneous profile technique in a 5-m super(3), 2.3 m deep isolated soil monolith. This was done both before and after 32 mo of irrigation with secondary-treated wastewater. Irrigation then continued for a further 4 mo. After 8 mo of no irrigation, a third set of measurements was made. Ponded infiltration rate decreased by 50% from 8.3 x 10 super(-5) to 4.1 x 10 super(-5) m/s after 32 mo of wastewater irrigation. A further decrease to 1.7 x 10 super(-5) m/s was found 1 yr later. Three years of wastewater irrigation resulted in a 25-mm decrease in the amount of water stored by the soil to a depth of 2.3 m after 20 d of drainage. This decrease was mainly at depths less than 1 m and may be due to restricted wetting of the soil. An identical decrease was found in the amount of water that drained from the soil during these 20 d. However, the water content at depth 0.1 m after 20 d of drainage was increased by 0.1 m super(3) m super(-3). This increase in water content and the concomitant decrease in infiltration rate appear to be caused by clogging of soil pores.

The values of these coefficients are, however, quite difficult to measure and vary markedly from one water body to another. Measurement of underwater irradiance, by contrast, is relatively easy, and is carried out routinely by many oceanographers and limnologists and by environmental management agencies. The variation of downward and upward irradiance with depth within any water body is largely determined by the inherent optical properties of the aquatic medium and is only weakly affected by changes in the incident radiation field such as a change in solar elevation. This observation has naturally suggested the possibility of using underwater irradiance measurements, either on their own or together with the comparatively easily measured beam attenuation coefficient, to arrive at estimates of the absorption and the scattering coefficients.

Although the risk assessment paradigm is 10 years old, the basic risk assessment process has been used by certain regulatory agencies for nearly 40 years. A recent step in the development of the exposure assessment component can be found in the 1992 EPA Guidelines for Exposure Assessment. These guidelines are designed to lead to an accurate characterization, making use of a number of scientific advances. Many exposure parameters have become better defined, and more sensitive techniques now exist for measuring concentrations of contaminants in the environment. Statistical procedures for characterizing variability, using Monte Carlo or similar approaches, eliminate the need to select point estimates for all individual exposure parameters. These probabilistic models can more accurately characterize the full range of exposures that may potentially be encountered by a given population at a particular site, reducing the need to select highly conservative values to account for this form of uncertainty in the exposure estimate. Lastly, our awareness of the uncertainties in the exposure assessment as well as our knowledge as to how best to characterize them will almost certainly provide evaluations that will be more credible and, therein, more useful to risk managers.

Using DNA fingerprinting, we examined the effect of these factors on tree swallows nesting at relatively high (grids of nest-boxes) and low (solitary boxes at least 100 m from the nearest neighbor) densities and in relatively synchronous (Alberta) and asynchronous (Ontario) populations in Canada. The mean percentage of extrapair offspring per nest did not differ significantly between birds nesting in grids (43%, n = 22 families) and solitary boxes (57%, n = 12 families). Similarly, there was no significant difference in the mean percentage of extrapair offspring per nest between relatively synchronous (60%, n = 12 Alberta families) and asynchronous (41%, n = 22 Ontario families) populations. We also found no consistent pattern between extrapair paternity and breeding experience among seven males and seven females examined over two to three breeding seasons. Female tree swallows can influence the fertilization success of extrapair males by active selection and rejection of copulation partners. We suggest that this ability limits the predicted effect of various ecological factors on the frequency of extrapair paternity.

For each species, at least 15 individuals had been assayed for at least 15 loci in two or more subpopulations. The results showed that while average total heterozygosity (H sub(T)) was approximately equal in freshwater and marine species (0 multiplied by 062 and 0.064 respectively), subpopulation heterozygosity (H sub(S)) was significantly less in the former group (0.046 and 0.059 respectively). Consequently the average degree of genetic subpopulation differentiation (G sub(ST)) was significantly greater for freshwater species (0.222 v. 0.062). On average, it is likely that marine subpopulations exchange between 10 and 100 times more migrants per generation than freshwater subpopulations, presumably because of the relative absence of barriers to dispersal in the marine environment. The reduced values of H sub(S) in freshwater species are likely to reflect reduced effective subpopulation sizes relative to marine species. The few andromous species that have been analysed show intermediate levels of G sub(ST). JF - Journal of Fish Biology AU - Ward, R D AU - Woodwark, M AU - Skibinski, DOF AD - CSIRO Div.

Stem mass decreased significantly with increasing altitude, flower mass increased with altitude, but root and leaf mass did not vary. Root: shoot ratios and leaf and flower allocation increased significantly with altitude whilst stem allocation decreased significantly. Because stems comprised up to 80% of community biomass, most of the variation in allocation of other biomass components and root: shoot ratios were simply reflections of variation in absolute stem mass. Variation in stem mass was produced by phenotypic plasticity as well as a lack of stemmed species at high altitudes. Tree seedlings grown without neighbours for two years showed significantly higher stem allocation at low altitudes than at high altitudes. Two common stemless species were found only at high altitudes whilst a third occurred at all altitudes. Species richness was greatest at intermediate altitudes where maximum overlap occurred between stemmed and stemless species. JF - Ecoscience. Sainte-Foy AU - Wilson, S D AD - Res. Sch. Biol.

A number of different methods have been proposed for calculating S and K using the flow rate, Q(t), from the disc. Measurements of Q(t) on a Kokotau silt loam soil were made using discs with radii of 50 and 102 mm. Measurements were made at potentials of -20, -40, and -100 mm with the 102-mm disc and at potentials of -20 and -40 mm with the 50 mm disc. S and K were calculated using six different methods. These three methods and a method based on a linear diffusion model gave similar values of S and/or K. The method of Youngs, which uses the early- to medium-time infiltration data to calculate K, gave very low and inconsistent values of K. Calculations of K were also made from values of S at two different potentials. Here S as S sub(o) was first calculated by using the early-time values of Q(t super( one half )). These values of K were similar to those calculated using the methods based on Wooding's equation. This suggests that measuring S at two or more different potentials, using the disc permeameter, would provide a very rapid method for characterizing the hydraulic properties of soils, provided the soil is fine textured and S can be measured either from the early-time behavior or using the method of Warrick.

P super(4(5))-1(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl ester ('caged' GPIP sub(2)) and 'caged' guanosine 5'-[ gamma thio]triphospate (GTP gamma S) (introduced into the cytoplasmic space by microinjection), thapsigargin and 2,5-di-tertbutylhydroquinone (DBHQ) to stimulate Ca super(2+) inflow. Photolysis of 'caged' GPIP sub(2) or 'caged' GTP gamma S stimulated Ca super(2+) inflow. The abilities of GPIP sub(2), thapsigargin and DBHQ to stimulate Ca super(2+) inflow were inhibited by the pre-treatment of hepatocytes with pertussis toxin in vivo for 36 h. Thapsigargin-stimulated Ca super(2+) inflow was also inhibited by guanosine 5'-[ beta -thio]diphosphate (GDP beta S) (introduced by microinjection).

It does not favor the environment at the expense of the economy, or vice versa. Instead, the bill embodies the concept that environmental progress and economic progress will be mutually reinforcing goals. A recent study examining states' environmental and economic progress found that "the states that do the most to protect their natural resources also wind up with the strongest economies and best jobs for their citizens," according to Bob Hall of the nonprofit Institute for Southern Studies, which made the study. A long-term strategy of sustainable development doesn't mean living in tents in the forest. It means pursuing economic progress in a way that protects the environment. It means broadly improving the overall prospects of future generations. The linchpin is technology. By the year 2050, both population and per capita output are expected to more than double. As a result, the level of worldwide economic activity will be five times greater than it is today. That level is sustainable only if we make major improvements in the way that we produce goods and services, however. JF - EPA Journal AU - Baucus, M AD - Senator Baucus (D-Montana), Chairman Comm.

In addition, the concentrations of Ca, Cu, K, Mg, Na and Pb were determined in surficial sediments collected from 35 sites in two wetland areas along the Hackensack River. Possible sources of metals were identified based on the observed distributions. The potential for adverse effects to fish and shellfish was evaluated based on comparisons to available benchmark sediment quality criteria and toxicity guideline values. Trace metal concentrations varied greatly, but were highest in sediments collected in areas of high sediment deposition in the lower Passaic River and the Arthur Kill. The concentrations of As (17 plus or minus 16 mg/kg), Cd (10 plus or minus 6 mg/kg), Cu (237 plus or minus 222 mg/kg), Hg (2.1 plus or minus 2.6 mg/kg), Ni (39 plus or minus 49 mg/kg), Pb (421 plus or minus 571 mg/kg) and Zn (395 plus or minus 403 mg/kg) measured in the estuary exceeded several benchmark sediment quality values. Lead (275 plus or minus 138 mg/kg) and Cu (116 plus or minus 63 mg/kg) concentrations in wetland sediments from Hackensack Area I were similar to those found in the Passaic River and the Arthur Kill. These results suggest that metal concentrations, particularly Cd, Hg and Pb, in surficial sediments in the Passaic River, Hackensack River, the Arthur Kill and portions of the Hackensack Meadowlands may pose a significant threat to aquatic biota.

Materials are separated at three different stages of the collection process: at the source, prior to collection; by the crews of the collection vehicle; and by the scavengers at the dump site. The total daily tonnage of recyclable garbage collected at the source by the waste pickers is estimated at 286 tonnes, about 5% of the garbage collected by the city. There are small scale recycling shops (SSR) located around the main disposal sites where collected materials are sold by the collection crews and the scavengers. The quantity of materials delivered to the SSR shops by the collection crew vary between 1-6 tonnes per day. The amount of materials recovered by the scavengers (at the dump site) varies between 50-150 kg/person/day. Therefore around 7.5% of the solid waste is recycled. In Bangkok both formal and informal sectors manufacture paper pulp, cardboard boxes and magazines from the recyclable paper. Paper products which account for 55% of the total waste stream are considered as the largest "product group" in the municipal solid waste. Recyclable glass (1-3% of the total waste stream) or cullet is used to manufacture plain glasses or cups. Plastics constitute about 10-15% of the waste stream.

Men with high-normal blood pressure and elevated serum cholesterol were randomly allocated to one of seven diets for 12 wk. Fish or fish oil with a 40%-fat diet increased total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, HDL sub(2) cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol, and reduced triglycerides. The 30%-fat diet alone reduced cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol, with triglycerides unchanged. Fish with the 30%-fat diet reduced cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides and increased HDL sub(2) cholesterol. This study has shown that plasma lipids are affected similarly by fish or fish oil in men consuming a 40%-fat diet. Adverse effects of omega 3 fats on total and LDL cholesterol are reversed by a 30%-fat diet, whereas one daily fish meal substantially lowers triglycerides and reverses the fall in HDL cholesterol that is usual with a low-fat diet.

The results of the study indicate that abatement strategies which are based on a limited range of technologies due to technical data limitations for the Thai context should already achieve moderate targets: 14% and 29% reduction in 2030 against the reference case depending on the intensity of efforts made. Further reduction is possible but this requires the inclusion of another line of options ie the adoption of actions for a highly ambitious program to further modernize the transport sector. The paper also discusses the hydro option as against nuclear. Finally, the study recommends more research and studies of CO sub(2) abatement technologies for the Thai context and development of policy instruments to deal with the very long-term perspective.

Despite a 15% reduction in chemical releases reported through the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) since 1987, Texas still ranks among the nation's highest generators of hazardous waste and TRI chemical releases. To tackle this problem, the TNRCC in partnership with Governor Ann Richards created a unique statewide voluntary pollution prevention program called Clean Texas 2000. The program's goal is to reduce pollution across the state and educate all Texans about how their lifestyles affect the environment. Industry is one of the most important participants in Clean Texas 2000 through a program called Clean Industries 2000. Clean Industries 2000 is a special designation reserved for regulated industrial facilities or plants who set tough goals and high standards above and beyond what state and federal environmental laws demand. Members of Clean Industries 2000 commit to a 50% reduction in their TRI chemical releases and/or hazardous waste generated by the year 2000. By focusing on source reduction and innovation over remediation, we can envision lower environmental costs and a cleaner future for Texas. JF - Waste Management AU - Voorhis, J AD - Technol.

These were two diatoms (Chaetoceros gracilis, Thalassiosira pseudonana); two prymnesiophytes (Isochrysis sp. (clone T.ISO), Pavlova lutheri); one chlorophyte (Nannochloris atomus) and one eustigmatophyte (Nannochloropsis oculata). Cultures were analysed during both logarithmic and stationary growth phase. The proportions of riboflavin ( mu g/g dry weight) during logarithmic growth-phase ranged from 20 (T. pseudonana) to 40 mu g/g (Isochrysis sp. T.ISO). With the onset of stationary phase, the proportion of riboflavin increased in all species; the increase was most dramatic in cultures of C. gracilis, T. pseudonana and N. atomus (2- to 3-fold). Chaetoceros gracilis contained more riboflavin (106 mu g/g) than all other species (48 to 61 mu g/g). Despite the differences in the composition of the different microalgae, across both logarithmic and stationary growth-phases, all species should provide a rich source of riboflavin for maricultured animals.

The degree of asymmetry is varied by changing the position of the core in the buildings. Numerical examples are presented where results have been obtained from the quasistatic code approach and real-time dynamic analysis. Results for deflections, shear forces and bending moments are presented. Significant changes in these responses and in some cases reversal of their directions are obtained by varying the degree of asymmetry. It is also observed that not only the twisting of the building about a vertical axis but also the direction of this twisting have a significant influence on the results. The need for a three-dimensional analysis to account for the effects of asymmetry is evident. JF - Engineering Structures AU - Thambiratnam, D P AU - Corderoy, HJB AD - Sch. Civ.

A daytime bimodal activity pattern was seen with increased activity coinciding with feeding times at 1000 and 1600 h. The animals spent an average of 40 degree c 10% of their time sleeping, 21 plus or minus 10% resting, 25 plus or minus 11% eating, 13 plus or minus 9% walking, and 1 plus or minus 3% interacting with other giant pandas. Adult females were less active than males or juveniles. During July, giant pandas were less active during the daytime than during other seasons of the year. There was no difference in activity patterns to the adults by the time they were 6 months old. Comparison with wild giant pandas (n = 5) at the Wolong Nature Reserve revealed similar bimodal activity cycles, although the time of peak activity differed and foraging/feeding time was greater for wild pandas than for captive animals.

The assumption is violated in many studies, but the effects of tagging on growth and estimates of growth parameters have not been and cannot be examined without appropriate models. This paper describes a model allowing quantification and estimation of the retarding effects of tagging on animal growth simultaneously with growth parameters in all existing growth models, reduction or elimination of biases in growth parameters induced by tagging, and relaxation of a key assumption in growth analysis using length increment data. A special case of this model was applied to simulated data and to tagging data from a centropomid perch (Lates calcarifer) to demonstrate its general utility. Tagging was inferred to have stopped the fish growth for 36.44 d (ASE = 12.70 d) if von Bertalanffy growth is assumed, but the period of recovery from tagging seemed size or age independent within the size range studied. If tagging retards animal growth, L sub( arrow left ) is slightly overestimated and K underestimated for unbiased data. Potential applications and limitations of the model are also discussed.

This included the GHQ-28, a standardised, validated questionnaire that measures recent mental distress. Additionally, the questionnaire inquired about Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) perceptions, job relationships and work practices. Despite a strong crude association (p < 0.001) between work-related symptoms (WRS) and recent mental distress as measured by the GHQ-28 score, multiple logistic regression analyses demonstrated that the association disappeared when other factors were considered. Instead WRS were found to be strongly associated (P < 0.001) with a perceived abnormal physical parameter: "stuffiness" of the air. This perception of stuffiness (validated by low air velocity measurements) was increased amongst those with GHQ-28 scores that indicate recent mental distress. The results support previous suggestions that SBS is due to "building" factors more so than human factors, but extends them, providing a more direct and validated measure of occupant mental distress using the GHQ-28. The case study provides no evidence for a causal role of recent mental distress on WRS, but suggests that recent mental distress can accompany and possibly compound outcomes of poor IAQ.

The current study examines whether turnover rate data provide input to a passive surveillance approach. It is hypothesized that the turnover of employees through individual jobs, when not attributable to differential pay scales within a facility, is likely to indicate the presence of ergonomic hazards associated with low back cumulative trauma disorders. This study used the database and multiple logistic regression model developed by Marras et al. (1993) to evaluate this hypothesis. Results suggest that passive surveillance programs would be more sensitive if turnover rates were determined for each job within a facility and were used to supplement incident rate data.

Risk, as it relates to the health effects of toxic substances, is the probability of injury, disease or death for individuals or populations who undertake certain activities or are exposed to hazardous agents. The research draws on techniques and findings from many different fields and disciplines, such as toxicology, epidemiology, and biostatistics. The report finds that health risk assessment is itself at risk, as the attention and resources allotted to research in the field are not commensurate with its impact on public health and the economy.

The density of Aeromonas spp. on these different body parts of the prawn samples ranged from 1.1 x 10 super(4) to 1.5 x 10 super(7) cfu per gram. The viable counts of aeromonads, fecal coliforms (FC) and Escherichia coli gradually increased in prawn samples when stored at 4 C. At -20 C, the viable counts gradually decreased and became zero on the 12th day of storage. The isolation of A. sobria (56%) was more frequent than that of A. hydrophila (31%) and A. caviae (13%). In the rabbit ileal loop (RIL) model, fluid accumulation induced by live cultures and cell-free culture filtrates of 11 strains ranged from 0.5 to 1.5 and 0.5 to 1.7 ml/cm of gut, respectively. Of 11 enterotoxigenic strains, 7 were A. sobria and 4 were A. hydrophila. Enterotoxigenicity correlated with hemolytic activity on blood agar. All enterotoxigenic strains were uniformly sensitive to chloramphenicol and gentamicin and resistant to novobiocin and vancomycin. Isolation of enterotoxigenic and antibiotic-resistant Aeromonas from these prawn samples indicates possible public health problems for their handlers as well for raw prawn consumers.

The available data indicate that both the diversity and the abundance of aquatic species within the estuary have been substantially reduced since the late 1800s due to the intense industrialization and urbanization that occurred throughout the region. Water and sediment quality in major rivers and bays linked to the estuary have also been severely impacted. In addition, significant natural habitat has been destroyed as a result of industrial development, urban expansion, and shoreline modifications. Each of these parameters directly influences the status and condition of the ecological community, and their deterioration has likely been the cause of multiple adverse impacts on the overall health of the ecosystem. Review of more recent studies of sediment and water quality indicates that pollution control measures and the reduction or control of other environmental stressors have produced a gradual improvement in the ecosystem over the past 2 decades.

In this paper, a new one-sided ultrasonic technique is proposed to solve the generic problem of detecting hidden corrosion in thin metallic aircraft skins, where the corrosion has originated at the interface between the skin and a second layer in an aircraft component. The technique involves the use of laser-generated ultrasonic Lamb modes whose attenuation in a thin skin is increased by the presence of corrosion. This paper presents a successful demonstration of the technique on a thin-skin elevator component. The potential of the Lamb wave technique for rapid large-area scanning for hidden corrosion is also described.

Using schema theory it is hypothesized that training effectiveness could be evaluated by assessing the incidence with which event characteristics are perceived as stressors. A comparison of the propensity of a group of firefighters and a group of predominantly nonemergency service volunteers (who were specifically trained for disaster relief work) to define event characteristics as stressors provided the means of testing the hypothesis. The results suggest that the training and experience of these firefighters did not prepare them for major disaster work.

The system is compact, portable, easy and fast to assemble, and composed of commercially available components. It uses modern sensors to measure rapid fluctuations in vertical wind speed, temperature, and water vapour, and gives a direct read-out of latent and sensible heat fluxes. Net radiation and soil heat flux are also measured, as are other climatic variables (such as air temperature and relative humidity) necessary for air density corrections of the measured fluxes. The sensors are controlled and measured using a datalogger which processes the measurements on line. The measurements require postprocessing to correct the flux measurements for the ambient conditions. JF - Technical Memorandum.

The concentrations of 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD/Fs were assayed in eighty-one surface and near-surface sediment samples collected from the Passaic River, Hackensack River, Arthur Kill, Elizabeth River, Kill Van Kull, Port Elizabeth, and Port Newark navigation channels and Robins Reef, which is located in New York Harbor. PVA modeling revealed five predominant 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD/F fingerprint patterns in geographically plausible distributions throughout the estuary. This was consistent with the current understanding of hydrodynamic and sedimentation conditions reported in the literature for Newark Bay. Three patterns contained 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD), which is alleged to originate from a single industrial source on the lower Passaic River. One of the fingerprints containing 2,3,7,8-TCDD was present in moderate proportions (10-20%) in surface sediments near the site, but was generally observed in low abundance (<5%) elsewhere in the estuary. A fingerprint pattern characteristic of PCDD/F profiles in effluents from municipal sewage and waste water treatment plants was widely distributed in the estuary, but reached its highest relative proportions in the Elizabeth River. A third fingerprint pattern was highest in the Arthur Kill and lower Passaic River and closely matched the residue patterns found in several types of combustion sources. A fourth fingerprint pattern in Hackensack River and lower Passaic River sediment matched the PCDD/F profile reported in PCB Aroclor registered formulations. A fifth fingerprint pattern matched the profile in recycled pulp and paper mill effluents and was highest in Kill van Kull and upper Passaic River sediment. The majority of PCDD/Fs in sediment from Reaches B, C, and D of Port Newark and Port Elizabeth were attributable to sediments transported via the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull. These results are consistent with those previously reported using principal components analysis, which indicated that 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD/F patterns in the sediments of Newark Bay are consistent with discharges from multiple sources.

If allowed to propagate without control, it can cause deterioration of water quality and create problems with water uses. However, water hyacinth has been used for wastewater treatment, and as an animal feed and soil conditioner. This paper reports a case study on silaging and composting of water hyacinth plants generated from ponds treating pig farm wastewater. The water hyacinth plants mixed with molasses and pig manure at the ratios of 85:10:5 (% wet weight) were found to be optimum for silage production; the silaging period was 28 days. The silaged products contained 16% protein and 18% dry matter, suitable for use as animal feed. The composted water hyacinth plants, whose raw materials included pig manure and leaves, contained N, P and K about 2.2, 1.5, and 0.8% (dry weight), respectively. An economic analysis of the two recycling options suggested that some benefits could be gained from these practices after 5 years of operation. These two options were found to be technically and economically feasible to be implemented at farm scale levels.

The results suggest the technical feasibility of applying these technologies to treat and recycle pig farm wastes. Cost/benefit analysis reveals the option to produce methane gas and silage to be financially viable after 15 years of operation. A management concept of waste recycling programs is presented, including relationships among objectives, constraints and implementation plan. Decision on a waste recycling program should not be based only on cost/benefit analysis, but also on the pollution control and public health improvement to be gained.

The assay is based on the phenomena of chemotaxis and electrotaxis to attract zoospores in suspension to a membrane where they encyst and are detected by immunoassay. A chemotaxis assay was used to identify compounds that could be incorporated into the dipstick. The most attractive compounds included several amino acids, alcohols, phenolics, and isovaleraldehyde. Some compounds, such as pectin, aspartic acid, and the phytohormone abscisic acid, caused encystment in addition to attraction. Zoospores also exhibited strong electrotaxis to a positively charged nylon membrane. As few as 40 zoospores per milliliter were detected with the dipstick assay in an assay time of less than 45 min. Immunolabeled cysts attached to the membrane were observed with the naked eye or with low-power magnification after silver enhancement of a gold-labeled secondary probe or after an enzyme color reaction. Screening of 24 MAbs raised to aldehyde-fixed zoospores demonstrated that there were nine MAbs that reacted strongly with P. cinnamomi cysts. Two MAbs were revealed to be species specific from an extensive screening of isolates of P. cinnamomi (15 isolates of mating type A1 and 29 of mating type A2), of other Phytophthora species (21 species or varieties of Phytophthora comprising 73 isolates), and of other oomycetous genera (11 species of Pythium encompassing 14 isolates and one isolate each of three species of Saprolegnia).

Previous work has shown that reproductively dominant females are nearly always the first females to reach adult eclosion (i.e. to hatch from the pupal case) among their brood cohort. This study examines whether this relationship is causal, or whether it reflects a correlation between eclosion order and other unknown factors that may be the actual determinants of dominance. Female pupae were transferred from natural to artificial observation nests prior to adult eclosion. Eclosion order among these females was investigated in experimental colonies which were subjected to one of four treatments. In one treatment pupae were allowed to eclose without experimental manipulation. In two treatments the development of older pupae was delayed by selective refrigeration, and in the last treatment older pupae were removed entirely. There were no effects of treatment type and no interaction between treatment type and eclosion order. In all treatments, first eclosed females became reproductively dominant.

To understand the bacteria-mucosa interaction, 41 strains of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAggEC), a recently described category of diarrheagenic E. coli, isolated mostly from children with diarrhea in Bangladesh, India, Thailand, Central America, and South America were screened for mannose-sensitive hemagglutination and mannose-resistant hemagglutination of erythrocytes from humans, rats, mice, sheep, cattle, and rabbits. Some strains demonstrated mannose-sensitive hemagglutination of erythrocytes. Most isolates showed mannose-resistant hemagglutination of erythrocytes from all species except rabbits. The hemagglutination patterns could be classified into 18 groups. Studies with three selected isolates suggested that hemagglutinins are cell bound and are protein in nature. On the basis of the pattern of inhibition of hemagglutination by various chemicals, 39 isolates were classified into 19 groups. Hemagglutinations of many isolates were inhibited by sialic acid-containing compounds, suggesting that these compounds may be the receptors for these organisms on erythrocytes and possibly on the intestinal mucosa. These data indicate that strains of EAggEC are a heterogeneous group of organisms with different types of hemagglutinins or adhesins for the intestinal mucosal surface.

We consider the nature of climate drift in such a model, and in particular address the question of whether or not climate drift is inherent to the model, or whether the drift can be averted by a suitable choice of initial conditions or coupling procedure. The "synchronous" approach to coupling was adopted in which the ocean, atmosphere and sea ice models were spun-up independently to equilibrium using climatological forcing fields. The models were then coupled and integrated forward in time. Several experiments were performed which were designed to assess the impact of different coupling methodologies and changes in the initial conditions of the component models on the climate drift of the system. The results of our experiments indicate that climate drift is a problem inherent to the coupled model in that systematic errors in the components lead to incompatibilities in the surface fluxes required by the component models to maintain realistic climatologies. We conclude that climate drift can be averted only if the parameterizations of certain important physical processes are improved which should have the effect of reducing or eliminating these incompatibilities.

The current study involved 31 phosphine fumigators and 21 controls during the high fumigation season. All were volunteers and were evaluated for genotoxicity variables, including micronuclei in peripheral blood lymphocytes and urine mutagenicity. In parallel, all fumigators and 17 controls were evaluated for full haematology, multiple biochemical analysis, whole blood organochlorines, and whole blood and serum cholinesterase activity. The results for micronuclei showed no significant differences between fumigators and controls, but detected a strong association between age and increased frequency of micronuclei. Measurement of urine mutagenicity did not show any significant difference between fumigators and controls, but did show increased excretion of mutagens in smokers. All haematological and biochemical variables were within normal ranges, except for some non-specific changes in biochemistry. At monitored occupational exposures of < 2.4 ppm/h our results show no association between phosphine exposure and genotoxic or toxicological effects in fumigators.

With the adoption of the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty (the Madrid Protocol) - which required the parties to take steps to implement its provisions, including the enactment of domestic legislation - Australia enacted the Antarctic Treaty (Environmental Protection) Act (ATEPA). The ATEPA is meant to replace the AMPA once the Madrid Protocol comes into force. The Protocol bans mineral resource activities in Antarctica and adopts a comprehensive regime to regulate all human activity in Antarctica in an effort to protect the region's environment. As legislation to implement the Protocol, the principal objectives of the ATEPA are to prohibit mineral resource activities in the Australian Antarctic Territory and to regulate all human activity that may have a direct impact on the environment in the area. It also prohibits Australian nationals from engaging in mineral resource activities elsewhere in Antarctica. JF - Polar Record AU - Blay, S AU - Green, J AD - Law Sch., Univ. Tasmania, G.P.O.

The preferential retention of the phase I variant by the infective-stage nematode and its better support for nematode reproduction than phase II indicates its importance in the bacterial-nematode interactions. However, there is no obvious role for phase II in these interactions. This study has revealed differences in the respiratory activity between the two phases of Xenorhabdus nematophilus A24 and Photorhabdus luminescens Hm. After experiencing periods of starvation, phase II cells recommenced growth within 2 to 4 h from the addition of nutrients, compared with 14 h for phase I cells, indicating a more efficient nutrient uptake ability in the former. The levels of activity of major respiratory enzymes were 15 to 100% higher in phase II cells from stationary cultures in complex media than in phase I cells. Transmembrane proton motive force measurements were also higher by 20% in phase II under the same conditions. The increased membrane potentials reflect upon the ability of the phase II variant to respond to nutrients, both through growth and nutrient uptake. It is postulated that while phase I cells are better adapted to conditions in the insect and the nematode, phase II cells may be better adapted to conditions in soil as free-living organisms.

The authors use European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) analyses and a simple, unambiguous flux form of the isentropic vorticity equation that makes possible a robust physical interpretation of the budget and that does not suffer from the problems of strong cancellation between pairs of terms that mar the traditional, isobaric approach. The simplicity of the equation also makes tractable an analysis of the errors in each of the terms in the monthly mean budget. On the western and northern flanks of the anomaly at 310 K ( approximately 350 hPa) the tendency of the time-mean flow to advect the anomaly downstream is countered (within the limits imposed by the relatively short averaging period) by mean stretching and the repeated influx of subpolar air by the storms during the month. However, on the eastern side of the anomaly the error analysis gives confidence that the dominant mean stretching term is only partially balanced by the mean and eddy advection terms. Two regions were found, overlying the ends of surface storm tracks, where large-scale and statistically significant residuals are required to balance the isentropic vorticity budget. The authors note that the whole eastern side of the anomaly is characterised by a large-scale drag on the prevailing flow, with isentropic gradients in the drag being responsible for the vorticity residual. Interestingly, embedded within each area of significant residual a smaller region exhibiting a significant acceleration of the zonal flow in the upper troposphere is found. The authors argue that these features are caused by distinct physical processes and are not the result of systematic errors in vorticity tendencies, diabatic flux divergences, or errors in the analyzed divergent wind field. Instead, the authors conclude that during August 1990 there are several dynamically significant processes operating that are not resolved by 2.5 degree x 2.5 degree ECMWF analyses: namely, the vertical transport of horizontal momentum associated with convective activity, the quasi-horizontal transport of horizontal momentum by breaking Rossby waves, and the ageostrophic motions associated with frontogenesis.

The taxonomic groups that contribute major parasites (the heterogeneous protozoa and the helminths) have their evolutionary origins in environments from which oxygen was absent or present in very low concentrations. The Ediacarian period, about 700 million years ago, contains fossils of the appropriate grade of organisation to be contemporaneous with the ancestors of platyhelminths, nematodes and acanthocephalans. With the oxygen transition, carbon flow in the biosphere resulted in conservative, anoxic environments together with oxygen rich ones. The organisms of the former retained their emphasis on anaerobic energy generation, while cytochrome systems were as much concerned with oxygen detoxification as energy generation. Metabolic pathways in the modern parasitic groups are echoes of such ancient biochemistries. JF - International Journal for Parasitology AU - Bryant, C AD - Div. Biochem. and Mol. Biol., Aust. Natl.

Patterns of use and the microhabitat requirements of the mountain brushtail possum Trichosurus caninus Ogilby in retained linear habitats (wildlife corridors) AN - 16762974; 3530133 AB - Hairtubing, a technique for detecting mammals, was used to census arboreal marsupials at 70 sites in the timber production montane ash forests of the central highlands of Victoria, south-eastern Australia. Of these sites, 41 were located in linear strips or wildlife corridors and the remaining 29 were in stands of contiguous montane ash forest. Four species of arboreal marsupials were detected in the hairtubing surveys but only one, the mountain brushtail possum Trichosurus caninus Ogilby, was recorded in sufficient numbers to allow subsequent analysis. Data derived for T. caninus from hairtubing studies were compared with those from earlier surveys where stagwatching was used to determine the presence and abundance of the species in retained linear strips. T. caninus was found to be absent from many retained strips during stagwatching surveys but was subsequently detected by hairtubing. Movement by animals into retained linear strips from surrounding areas of contiguous forest, probably whilst foraging, was the most logical explanation for this result. Statistical analyses revealed that T. caninus was most likely to move into strips that supported few trees with hollows and thus areas of poor habitat suitability where there were few resident animals. Some microhabitat features may influence the patterns of use by T. caninus within areas of retained forest. The implications of our results for wildlife conservation in timber production montane ash forests are discussed.

The study focuses on competitive challenges and opportunities for two kinds of American industries that are affected by environmental regulation: environmental technology and service firms, and manufacturing firms meeting requirements for reduced pollution. Noting that cleaner, more cost-effective production technologies could help U.S. manufacturers reduce compliance costs while still meeting environmental standards, the report examines the pros and cons of more than 30 policy options for Congress to consider.

AN - 16738108; 3716825 AB - The rates of spatial expansion of range following the introduction of animals to new areas are extremely variable between species. Data on a selection of species from a range of taxa show that these rates vary over about five orders of magnitude. The range expansion of a limited number of pest species of aphids have been mapped following colonisation. Studies on rates of colonisation are important as they are central to pest risk analysis. In addition, the observed variation in rates have significant implications for the development of realistic models of metapopulations.

Of the collembolan species which are native to the island, 16 were collected from the marine littoral zone. Six are common in the clean sand of the beaches and appear to be breeding there, two of them being restricted to this habitat; eight occur on rocky shores where three are restricted. The other native species are found sporadically on beaches but are more common in the tussock grassland and herbland of the coastal shelf and plateau. Four of the marine coastal species have wide ecological tolerances and occur equally abundantly on the central plateau of the island. Species are zoned on sandy beaches but not on rocky shores where none were found below the lichen zone. The highest species richness occurs at the interface between the marine and terrestrial zone as only eleven Macquarie Island species are not found here. Biogeographical affinities of the marinelittoral fauna are predominantly with other subantarctic islands to the west. JF - Acta Zoologica Fennica AU - Greenslade, P AU - van Klinken, RD AD - Div.

Stomatal responses to leaf-to-air vapour mole fraction difference (D, leaf-to-air vapour pressure difference divided by atmospheric pressure) were first determined by a literature review and by assuming that stomatal behaviour results in the optimisation of plant water use in relation to carbon gain. Using monthly time steps, modelled stomatal responses to D were used to calculate the ratio of stomatal cavity to ambient CO sub(2) mole fractions and then, in association with leaf internal conductances, to calculate Delta sub(A). Weighted according to gross primary productivity (GPP, annual net CO sub(2) assimilation per unit ground area), estimated Delta sub(A) for C sub(3) biomes ranged from 12.9 PPT for xerophytic woods and shrub to 19.6 PPT for cool/cold deciduous forest, with an average value for C sub(3) plants of 17.8 PPT. This is slightly less than the commonly used values of 18-20 PPT. For C sub(4) plants the average modelled discrimination was 3.6 PPT, again slightly less than would be calculated from C sub(4) plant dry matter carbon isotopic composition (yielding around 5 PPT). From our model we estimate that, on a global basis, 21% of GPP is by C sub(4) plants and for the terrestrial biosphere as a whole we calculate an average isotope discrimination during photosynthesis of 14.8 PPT. There are large variations in Delta sub(A) across the globe, the largest of which are associated with the presence or absence of C sub(4) plants. Due to longitudinal variations in Delta sub(A), there are problems in using latitudinally averaged terrestrial carbon isotope discriminations to calculate the ratio of net oceanic to net terrestrial carbon fluxes.

Lack of adequate knowledge and systematic ignorance of main system management has been identified as one of the primary factors for the resulting poor performance of these systems. In this study a model has been developed for operating the main canal of these systems by integrating hydraulics of the flow and decision-making technique. The model developed was applied to the main canal of the Phitsanulok Irrigation Project in Northern Thailand. The results of this application approved the concept and envisaged substantial improvement in the operation of the main canal.

I performed two experiments in an early-successional site in two consecutive years. In the first experiment I tested the effects of litter and competition, and their interaction, on establishment and growth of tree seedlings. In the second experiment I studied the effect of insecticide application in combination with litter and herb competition on seedling establishment and growth, and on arthropod abundance. In the absence of competition, litter had no significant effect on the biomass of woody seedlings, though it delayed seedling emergence. Herb competition reduced the growth of the woody seedlings, but the addition of leaf litter reduced the density and biomass of the herbs, indirectly improving the growth of the woody seedlings. Litter increased both invertebrate damage to seedling cotyledons and seedling mortality. The application of insecticide increased seedling emergence and reduced seedling mortality, and more so in the presence of litter. The total number of arthropods and the number of plant-chewing arthropods were increased by the addition of litter and reduced by application of insecticide. Thus, litter had, simultaneously, a positive indirect effect on individual biomass through reduced competition, and a negative indirect effect on the number of individuals through increased seed and/or seedling predation, and a negative direct effect on seedling mortality.

Three populations of the weed were monitored in detail over a 2-4 year period in southern France to quantify levels of seed loss, attack patterns and the impact of each capitulum feeding species. Capitulum damage and seed predation reduced seed production by between 81-99%. Four insects were largely responsible for this; the receptacle weevils Rhinocyllus conicus, Larinus jaceae and L. sturnus and the tephritid gall-fly Urophora solstitialis. Seed predation caused a shift of peak seed production from the large early capitula to the later more numerous small capitula from the mid to late flowering period. Attack by R. conicus and U. solstitialis was spatially dependent on capitulum density of C. nutans among sites. Sites with greater densities of capitula were attacked by a greater number of these insects per capitulum. No such pattern was found at any other spatial scale. The implications of the seed loss on C. nutans populations in southern Europe are discussed in relation to other factors in the dynamics of this weed. Comparisons with existing studies from new environments demonstrate that a) predispersal seed predation is much greater in native populations than has been described in infestations of this weed in other countries where biological control has been successful and b) the main agent of this control, R. conicus, is causing similar amounts of seed predation in native populations as in countries where it has been released without natural enemies.

Standardized samples were taken by unit-time hand collecting (day and night times), sweeping, beating, baiting and by Winkler sacks. A total of 156 species, representing 49 genera were found, of which 98, 88 and 55 were respectively found in the Planalto, Flanco and Varzea forests. Species lists are presented and the ant community composition and species richness are compared between the three forests. By considering the nesting and foraging habits of the various species, the differences in overall community composition are related to the forest type and susceptibility to inundation of the three forests which were surveyed. The data confirm the view that tropical rain forests support an extremely diverse ant fauna and comparisons with other forested areas suggest that ant species richness declines in subtropical and temperate rain forests. Although alpha diversity is high, species turnover between forests is lower than expected, suggesting that ant species richness in this forested region is not as great as is implied in some published estimates of global arthropod diversity.

The microparticles sorbed significant amounts of the organophosphorus (OP) pesticide diazinon, causing low recoveries and a decrease in observed partition coefficients with an increase in the suspended sludge concentration. The microparticles could be removed by prewashing the sludge, by filtration, or by passing the solution through a C-18 cartridge, which effectively acted as a filter. In contrast to diazinon, the recovery of the more polar OP propetamphos was excellent. Microparticles were not significant in muffled sludge obtained from the same source but were significant in three waste streams at a sewage treatment plant, including the final effluent. This could pose problems when predicting the extent of pesticide removal during sewage treatment.

The model considers rain infiltration, evaporation, redistribution, and water uptake by plant roots. A Markov-chain model was used to generate daily rainfall for the simulation of soil moisture contents under normal and dry years. The model was validated using field data for three soil types in the region. Application of the model for assessing the possibilities of rainfed agriculture under the specified conditions is outlined. The analysis results, in terms of moisture conditions showed that the model is capable of indicating the stress days for crops grown in the region. The most appropriate planting date to minimize water stress can be determined. JF - Agricultural Water Management AU - Binh, N D AU - Murty, VVN AU - Hoan, D X AD - Irrig. Eng. Manage.

Limiting factors AN - 16671702; 3680590 AB - Nutrient release and dose-response experiments evaluated buffalo manure as a source of soluble and particulate nutrients for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture and its adverse effects on water quality. Buffalo manure nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) content and release characteristics confirmed that manure was a poor source of both particulate and soluble nutrients. Only 6% of initial manure total Kjeldahl N of the 17 mg N/g dry matter (DM) was released as dissolved inorganic N, and 35% of the initial manure total P of the 1.3 mg P/g DM was released as soluble reactive P. Water quality deteriorated at higher manure loading rates of more than 100 kg DM/ha/day. Water color and total suspended solids increased steadily with manure loading rate, promoting light limitation of phytoplankton production at higher loading rates. The dark brown color imparted by manure to the water decomposed faster in the light than under dark conditions. Dissolved oxygen concentrations at dawn also declined to near 0 mg/l at higher manure loading rates. JF - Aquaculture AU - Shevgoor, L AU - Knud-Hansen, C F AU - Edwards, P AD - Sch.

The objectives of the 1-year field experiment were to study the feasibility of using evaporation basins for disposing of pumped saline groundwater from enhanced-discharge schemes, and to prepare a set of guidelines for the selection sites and criteria for the design of evaporation ponds. The field experiment has shown that lateral and vertical leakage from small on-farm evaporation basins can be controlled by reducing the hydraulic heads in the underlying aquifer system by pumping. Leakage to the aquifer is captured by the pumping well of the enhanced-discharge scheme. Leakage rates are several magnitudes higher than evaporation rates in the summer and winter months. Lateral leakage was limited within the radius of pumping drawdown. Aquifer leakage is directly related to the hydraulic head difference between basin stage height and groundwater levels. Salinity in the basin increased due to evaporation, but no significant increase in groundwater salinity was observed in the deeper parts of the aquifer because of mixing with less saline groundwater.

Proponents claim that predictive microbiology offers many benefits to the practice of food microbiology, and there is growing interest internationally. This review considers the origins, benefits and approaches to predictive microbiology and critically considers limitations and potential solutions. It is suggested that the traditional delineation between kinetic and probabilistic models is artificial, and that the two approaches represent the opposite ends of a spectrum of modelling needs. It is concluded: that despite the complexity of many food systems predictive modelling can be successfully applied; that strategies based on predictive models can simplify problems and allow useful predictions and analyses to be made; that the full potential of the technique has not yet been realised; and that "predictive microbiology" may be seen as providing a rational framework for understanding the microbial ecology of food.

A degenerate oligonucleotide primer based on the N-terminal amino acid sequence of this purified 40 kDa grape PPO protein was used to amplify a 1650 bp cDNA clone (GPO1M) by 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3'-RACE). GPO1M hybridized to a single 2.2 kb transcript from grape berry mRNA indicating the presence of further upstream sequence which was cloned using 5'-RACE PCR. The complete 1990 bp cDNA (GPO1) encodes a 67 kDa protein consisting of a 10.6 kDa chloroplast transit peptide, a 40.5 kDa catalytic unit containing two copper-binding regions and a 16.2 kDa C-terminal extension. Southern analysis suggested the presence of only one PPO gene in grapevine. High levels of gene expression were found in young developing berries, leaves and roots, but there was little expression in mature tissues. Biogenesis of PPO in grapevine tissues, appears to involve synthesis of a 67 kDa precursor protein which is imported into the chloroplast and processed to remove a 10.6 kDa chloroplast transit peptide from the N-terminus and a 16.2 kDa peptide of unknown function from the C-terminus.

Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies were not elevated in workers handling aldrin. This is consistent with the fact that chlorinated cyclodienes are not genotoxic. Plasma dieldrin concentrations (up to 250 ng/ml) confirmed exposure in workers actively performing termiticide treatments and in maintenance and store workers, when compared with unexposed control workers (median concentration, 4.8 ng/ml). Urinary D-glucaric acid (DGA), an index of hepatic enzyme activity, was elevated in pesticide-exposed groups but urinary DGA was poorly correlated with plasma dieldrin level. This indicates that concurrent exposures of these groups to other pesticides may have influenced mixed-function oxidase metabolic activity.

We report the effect of postnatal hypoxia on brain DA and neurotrophic activity in New Zealand White rabbit pups (n = 41) born to cocaine-exposed does (30 mg/kg/day SC from days 7-15 of a 32-day gestation = COCaine) and control does (sterile H sub(2)O = VEHicle). Four to 6-day-old pups were exposed to 20 min of room air (0.21 fractional inspired oxygen tension, F sub(1)O sub(2)). One third of each group was then exposed to 20 min of either 0.15 (moderate hypoxia) or 0.08 (severe hypoxia) F sub(1)O sub(2). Immediately following hypoxic challenge the pups were sacrificed. Striatal tissue extracts were subsequently assessed for DA and striatal trophic activity by monitoring the number of neuron specific enolase immunoreactive (NSEir) cells in mesencephalic culture following incubation with striatal extracts. Increasing the severity of hypoxia increased DA content (p < 0.005), but reduced DA activity (p < 0.0001) and trophic activity (p < 0.001). Cocaine exposure reduced striatal DA (p < 0.005) as well as NSEir (p < 0.001) in all conditions relative to vehicle-treated controls. The data suggest that prenatal cocaine exposure enhances the vulnerability of the DA system to the stress of hypoxia, possibly through alterations in neurotrophic activity.

DNA sequence analysis of gyrA from nalidixic acid-resistant isolates revealed a C-to-T transition at nucleotide position 248 leading to a Ser-83-to-Leu substitution which was absent in susceptible clinical isolates. Direct HinfI digestion of PCR-amplified DNA detected similar mutations. Thus, DNA gyrase A subunit mutation Ser-83 to Leu is implicated in 4-quinolone resistance in S. dysenteriae type 1.

Several different approaches were tested with each of these techniques, using a training data set of 1997 cases and an independent test data set of 665 cases. Performance comparisons indicated that both neural network and discriminant analysis methods offered improvements over the operational model output statistics (MOS) method and operational forecasts.

Fenvalerate and esfenvalerate were both highly toxic to larval rainbow fish with 1-h esfenvalerate pulse-exposure concentrations as low as 0.32 mu g/1, and 1-min fenvalerate pulse-exposure concentrations of 4.5 mu g/1, sufficient to cause significant mortality. Technical grades were significantly more toxic than emulsified grades of the pesticides. The 1-h pulse-exposure 96-h LC sub(50)'s were 12.75, 30.25, 1.18, and 1.99 mu g/1 for technical fenvalerate, emulsified fenvalerate, technical esfenvalerate, and emulsified esfenvalerate, respectively. Emulsified fenvalerate and esfenvalerate were also extremely toxic to adult crimson-spotted rainbow fish. The 96-h continuous exposure LC sub(50)'s for adult fish using 50% daily partial replacement were 14.58 and 6.24 mu g/1, respectively, comparable with results for holarctic species. Fenvalerate is a racemic mixture containing four optical isomers (2R, aR; 2R, aS; 2S, aR, 2S, aS), while esfenvalerate contains mainly the 2S isomers. Esfenvalerate contains approximately twice the quantity of 2S isomers as does fenvalerate on a weight basis. Pulse-exposure LC sub(50)'s for esfenvalerate were 10 to 15 times lower than for fenvalerate, a much higher toxicity of esfenvalerate than the roughly two fold difference which would have been predicted solely on a weight basis. Thus the 2R isomers, which make up approximately 50% of the fenvalerate formulation and which previously were regarded as non-active, appear to have reduced the expected toxicity of fenvalerate relative to measured esfenvalerate toxicity, perhaps via the inhibition of sodium channel activation.

Until recently, grazing was considered to be the major fate of bacterial production. Now, however, viruses are seen to have an important role in microbial processes. We describe how growth and recycling parameters affect the transfer of bacterial production through a microbial loop model that includes viruses. The loop is very inefficient for all reasonable conditions, but its relative importance as a source of mesozooplankton nutrition is variable. The model demonstrates that in mesotrophic coastal waters, the microbial loop is unlikely to supply more than a minor component of mesozooplankton nutrition, a proposition that is supported by accumulating evidence. For oligotrophic pelagic waters, the model indicates that in the absence of viruses the microbial loop, despite its low efficiency, may provide an important resource for mesozooplankton. Bacterial production, without viral mortality, is also relatively important in the case of direct exploitation by salps. Under these conditions, bacteria account for 10-30% of mesozooplankton nutrition. With high levels of bacteriophage activity, zooplankton production is generally reduced by 5-15%. We thus conclude that bacteriophages could significantly affect mesozooplanktonic and, hence, exploitable marine production.

In order to determine the prevalence of this compound in meconium specimens, samples which gave a positive result for benzoylecgonine using fluorescence polarization immunoassay were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for cocaine, cocaethylene and benzoylecgonine. Deuterated cocaine, cocaethylene and benzoylecgonine were used as internal standards. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry cutoff concentrations of 5.0 ng/g were utilized for all analytes. Of the 361 specimens which consecutively confirmed positive for cocaine or benzoylecgonine, 114 (31.6%) tested positive for cocaethylene. Further, cocaethylene accumulates in greater concentrations in meconium than urine, and is a useful analyte for identifying fetal alcohol exposure.

This paper reviews the scientific literature to determine if 2,4,6,8-TCDT is commonly found in the aquatic environment and evaluates whether 2,4,6,8-TCDT is associated with the production of 2,4,5-T. Polychlorinated dibenzothiophenes (PCDTs) are generated by chemical processes that are similar to those that result in the formation of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). PCDTs have been found in pulp and paper mill effluents and waste incineration fly ash, and are associated with metal reclamation processes and incineration of PCBs. Chemical processes similar to those that have resulted in the formation of PCDFs, such as dye, pigment, paint, pesticide, and raw chemical production, are likely significant sources of PCDTs if sulfur-containing organic chemicals are used in the manufacturing process. It has been estimated that there are over 300 PCDD and PCDF sources within the Newark Bay estuary, many of which are likely to have discharged PCDT-containing effluents to the Passaic River. Chlorinated thiophenols and other sulfur-containing compounds such as sulfonated benzenes, chlorinated in the 2, 4, and 6 positions, and 2,3,5,2',3',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl, present in commercial PCB mixtures, have precisely the correct configuration of chlorine substitution for 2,4,6,8-TCDT formation. Elevated levels of both 2,4,6,8-TCDT and PCBs in lower Passaic River sediments suggest that PCDT contamination of these sediments may be related to several sources, most notably, a known PCB contaminated site approximately one mile downstream of the former 2,4,5-T facility. The scientific literature provided no evidence to support the assertion that the presence of 2,4,6,8-TCDT in the environment was related to 2,4,5-T production. The reported presence of 2,4,6,8-TCDT in Passaic River sediments cannot be explained by production practices at the former 2,4,5-T facility.

Version 1.2 AN - 16619330; 3653111 AB - Many scientists have realised the value of "Fourth Generation Languages" such as MATLAB for carrying out data analysis. These languages enable scientists to concentrate on conducting research without worrying about the more technical aspects of computing. SEAWATER is a library of MATLAB computational routines for determining properties of sea water that are commonly used in oceanographic research. It is of the utmost importance that these determinations are accurate. The driving force for developing this library was the need for an easy to use, set of routines that had been thoroughly tested. The SEAWATER library can be used on any computer platform that supports MATLAB. No recompiling or conversion is necessary. MATLAB automatically keeps track of missing or bad data with the Not-A-Number (NaN) feature, and the ability to use multidimensional data structures in calculations greatly adds to the simplicity and usefulness of the library. For example, it is a simple matter to calculate the density for an entire hydrographic section (salinity, temperature and pressure) that has missing/bad data in a one-line statement, by calling the SEAWATER library. The SEAWATER library implements all the polynomial equations presented by Foffonoff and Millard (UNESCO 1983). Validation of the SEAWATER library against the UNESCO results is demonstrated in Appendix C. JF - Report. CSIRO Marine Laboratories. 1994.

Both rates were effective in killing all P. vittatum in the cages in 3 weeks, under the prevailing cool conditions. Samples of grasshoppers taken from the treated cages at 4, 8 and 14 d post-spraying died within 1-6 d when placed at constant 26 degree C in the laboratory. Samples of foliage fed to healthy grasshoppers showed that some infections conidia persisted for 13 d. The results indicate that it may be possible to control P. vittatum with an oil-based spray of conidia of M. flavoviride.

Populations of E. albens were almost continuous across much of this region, but clearing has left a mosaic of remnant populations, scattered trees, and treeless pastures or cropland. Using allozyme electrophoresis of remnant populations sampled from across the range of E. albens, we examined patterns of genetic variation in this species and the effects of fragmentation on its genetic diversity. Total genetic diversity in E. albens was higher than reported for any other eucalypt species (H sub(t) = 0.306), while differentiation among populations from across its range was one of the lowest for eucalypts (G sub(st) = 5.7%). The relationship between genetic and geographic patterns was obscured with the inclusion of small populations in the analysis, suggesting a need for caution in the sampling of small populations for genetic studies. We recommend that for maximum conservation of genetic diversity in E. albens at the local scale, populations should either contain greater than 500 individuals or form a closely spaced mosaic to allow gene flow between smaller units. Reconstructed populations should be established from seed collected from local populations of greater than 500 individuals.

(Indian sandalwood) were examined on tree seedlings raised under different shade treatments. Treatment levels were full sun and 32, 50, 70 and 80% shade. The level of shade significantly affected many morphological characteristics. Leaf area was least in full sun and greater under all shade levels. Leaves were thicker, shorter and narrower in full sun than in 80% shade. Leaf length/width ratio was greater when shade exceeded 50%. Petioles were shorter in 50% and more shade. Leaves in 80% shade had more chlorophyll and were of greater weight. Stomatal numbers were higher and internodes longer in 80% shade than in full sun. None of the following showed significant differences: plant heights, leaf numbers, crown widths and stem diameters. Chlorophyll concentrations are within the range of those possessed by non-parasitic land plants. On balance 80% shade plants had adaptive attributes more favourable to growth than plants from less shade. Survival was least in full sun.

Both TPT and its oxygen analogue PT were poor inhibitors of urease activity in these flooded soils in the presence or absence of algae. In the absence of photosynthetic algae, the rate of urea hydrolysis was retarded slightly by the addition of NBPT. However, in the presence of algae the capacity of NBPT to inhibit urease activity was enhanced considerably. It appears that the oxygen produced by the photosynthetic algae resulted in more rapid conversion of the pro inhibitor NBPT to NBPTO, which is the effective urease inhibitor. The phosphorictriamides CHPT and NBPTO were significantly better than the other compounds for retarding urease activity, and CHPT ranked above NBPTO as a urease inhibitor. In the presence of photosynthetic algae the effectiveness of these inhibitors appears to be reduced, and this seems to be related to algal uptake of nitrogen and more rapid volatilization of ammonia and nitrification. The results suggest that the phosphorictriamides CHPT and NBPTO in conjunction with an algicide, to control the growth of floodwater algae, have the potential to considerably reduce ammonia loss from flooded rice soils.

The species also differ substantially in their mean egg weights with M. perseus laying smaller eggs than M. terminus and M. sirius. The adaptive significance of the egg size variation was examined in relation to three offspring fitness components: larval survival, larval developmental time and pupal weight, to establish if larvae derived from heavier eggs were in any way better than those derived from lighter eggs when reared on different hostplant qualities varying in leaf toughness and nitrogen content. When the three species were reared on the tougher nitrogen-poor host quality (Panicum-intermediate category) larvae from heavier eggs had significantly better chance of surviving and reaching adulthood than those from lighter eggs. However, when larvae were reared on the softer nitrogen-rich host quality (Panicum-soft category) the advantage to heavier eggs diminished in M. terminus and M. sirius, but not in M. perseus. Egg weight was also positively correlated with subsequent pupal weight in M. perseus for both male and female larvae reared on Panicum-soft, and with larval development rate in M. sirius (both sexes) when reared on Themeda - a hostplant known to be of poor quality for M. sirius. The positive correlation between egg size and offspring fitness suggests that under field conditions larvae from larger eggs may do better than those from smaller eggs when conditions are unfavourable, for example, adverse climate or poor host quality. Moreover, a strong positive correlation between egg size and the width of the head capsule of newly emerged first instar larvae suggests that larvae from larger eggs have bigger mandibles and therefore potentially able to chew and survive better on tougher foliage. Potential selective pressures likely to influence egg size in these satyrines and other butterflies are discussed. JF - Oikos AU - Braby, M F AD - CSIRO Div. Entomol., G.P.O.

This study reports on the effects of phosphine inhalation exposure at up to, and exceeding, occupational relevant levels in a subchronic (0.3, 1.0 and 4.5 ppm, 13 weeks) and a short term repeated-dose (5.5 ppm, 2 weeks) study in both sexes of Balb-c mice. It is concluded that phosphine is weakly genotoxic in both sexes of mice, and has an effect on weight gain. However, the weak genotoxic effect may not be biologically significant as it was seen only in the subchronic study and only at the highest test concentration of 4.5 ppm (approaching the LD sub(50)). Although such exposure conditions are unlikely to be encountered in an occupational environment, caution should continue to be exercised in the use of phosphine until more data become available.

Modern understanding of rainfall erosion processes provides for more process-based indices. In an analysis of erosion data from nonvegetated plots at Holly Springs, Mississippi, the I sub(x)E sub(A) index, an index that is based on the product of the excess rainfall rate (I sub(x)) and the rate of expenditure of rain kinetic energy (E sub(A)), is shown to be superior to the EI sub(30) index. Apart from accounting for the processes of detachment and transport better than the EI sub(30) index, the index provides an opportunity to consider the effects of hydrology more directly within the USLE environment than is currently possible. However, including more direct consideration of hydrology within R is likely to affect a number of other USLE factors. These effects have yet to be evaluated.

The mutations destroy the two possible initiator AUG codons for the C4 ORF without disrupting the coding capacity of the C1 ORF which entirely overlaps the C4 ORF. Agroinoculation of the C4 mutant TLCV into three alternative experimental hosts for the virus (Datura stramonium, Lycopersicon esculentum, and Nicotiana tabacum) gives rise to infections which show dramatically reduced symptoms when compared to a wild-type infection, while retaining wild-type levels of all viral DNA species. In most cases the mutations were stably inherited by progeny virus. However, a single tomato plant inoculated with the mutant developed phenotypically wild-type symptoms and was subsequently shown to contain progeny virus in which the mutation at position 2457 had reverted to wild-type sequence, indicating that this AUG may be the site of initiation of translation of the C4 product in the wild-type virus. The results suggest that the C4 ORF encodes a polypeptide which is not required by TLCV to replicate or to spread through the host plant, but is involved in symptom development.

Four MAbs specifically recognized the lipopolysaccharide antigens of V. cholerae O139. MAbs ICL9 and ICL13 were of the immunoglobulin M (IgM) isotype, ICL11 was of the IgG3 isotype, and ICL12 was of the Ig2b isotype. A fifth MAb, ICL10, of the IgG2b isotype cross-reacted with V. cholerae O91. All five MAbs recognized V. cholerae O139 in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, slide agglutination test, motility inhibition test, and indirect immunofluorescence test. During a 1-month evaluation of these MAbs in our clinical laboratory, all 86 cases diagnosed as V. cholerae O139 by a rabbit polyclonal antiserum were also detected by these MAbs, establishing their utility as highly sensitive and specific diagnostic reagents. With these MAbs, it should now be possible to screen for the V. cholerae O139 serogroup in epidemic and endemic diarrhea cases and in environmental and food samples.

Photoperiod had no effect on flowering at the temperatures tested. Ten weeks of cool temperatures (17 degree C day/9 degree C night) were required for a maximum number of flowers to reach anthesis on H. angustifolium plants whereas B. megastigma plants required 15 weeks. Flower development in both species was inhibited by a large difference between day and night temperature (21 degree C day/5 degree C night) and promoted if the day/night difference was reversed (9 degree C day/17 degree C night). The temperature of the aerial parts of the plant controlled flowering, whereas vegetative growth was controlled by root temperature. Therefore, while a reduction in vegetative growth naturally coincides with the production of flowers, these events are not necessarily linked.

Cytokine and PGE release after 36 hr in culture were measured by cytokine-specific cellular bioassays and competitive radioimmunoassay, respectively. Basal IL release was readily detectable; however, TNF levels were negligible (i.e., IL-6> IL-1>TNF). There was a marked difference in the basal release of cytokines and PGE for the three human tissues, particularly between adult and juvenile subjects. The addition of either lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or exogenous IL-1 stimulated the release of cytokines and the subsequent "IL-1 inhibitory-feedback" response, the latter characterized by an elevation in endogenous PGE production. Piroxicam, the cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor, abolished PGE production by control and LPS-treated cells. JF - In Vitro Toxicology AU - Wright, PFA AU - Stacey, N H AU - Haynes AD - Key Cent.

Following vaccination, high levels of Salmonella-specific serum IgM, IgG and IgA were produced in addition to high levels of specific intestinal IgA. Moreover, there was also evidence of Salmonella-specific cell-mediated immunity in vaccinated mice in the form of strong delayed-type hypersensitivity and the production of interferon-gamma (IFN- tau ) by spleen cells stimulated with Salmonella antigen. The aroA strain was also recovered from the mesenteric lymph nodes and most tissues examined from sheep vaccinated by the oral route. Salmonella-specific IgM was detected in the serum; however, specific IgG responses were very low and there was an absence of specific copro-antibody. Although strong Salmonella-specific lymphocyte proliferative responses were detected, they did not result in the production of IFN- tau and flow cytometric analysis revealed that the proliferating cells were predominantly B lymphocytes. Despite the absence of strong vaccine-specific immune responses in vaccinated sheep compared with those seen in mice, both mice and sheep were protected against challenge with virulent wild-type strain S25/1.

For the quadratic and von Bertalanffy growth functions, explicit formulae are obtained for the expected growth increment in terms of length-at-release, time-at-liberty, and the function parameters. If the least-squares fitting technique is used the von Bertalanffy function fits tag-recapture data with no more bias (probably less) than any other growth function, including polynomial growth functions. A bias-reduction technique for fitting the von Bertalanffy growth function to tag-recapture data is not applicable to other growth functions. We conclude that, apart from the straight line, the von Bertalanffy growth function is the one with the most desirable mathematical and statistical properties for fitting to tag-recapture data. The matter of the function that best characterises the way a specific fish species grows can be adequately addressed only by analyses of multiple measurements of individual fish.

Previous studies of this interaction have shown some evidence of density-dependence. Analyses of the spatial distribution of surviving individuals was performed using two contrasting methods based on: (1) a dispersion index; and (2) on nearest neighbour distances. In all situations changes in the degree of aggregation were more obvious in analyses based on the frequency of individuals in small areas (dispersion index) than in those based on the distance between nearest neighbours. These methods detected trends both away from aggregated towards more random patterns of distribution (site 1: two plots) and towards greater aggregation (site 2: one plot). In one of the former areas, the distribution of surviving P. sylvestris individuals was still significantly aggregated after four years, while in the other, the pattern approached spatial randomness. Increasing aggregation on the second site probably has resulted from a complicating biotic interaction between the pathogen and other plant species.

One hundred and fifty foot-passes per year for at least the past 10 years have occurred on a typical 6-km stretch of walking track on the island's upland plateau. Trampling favours vascular plants including exotics, especially Poa annua, while bryophytes and lichens are more common in undisturbed vegetation. The abundance of 19 of the 39 most common species appears to be affected by trampling. Track width is positively correlated with exposure and wet soils, and trampling increases the soil bulk density of the track. The contrast between the soil bulk density of the trampled and untrampled soils increases with increasing exposure. While present environmental damage is within an acceptable range over the majority of the island, the extreme environments are likely to suffer unacceptable levels of damage if increased usage occurs with more tourism or expansion of scientific and related activities. This is demonstrated by the diversion of a short section of plateau track in an atypically heavily used area; the diversion sustained substantial damage after 890 foot-passes during a 15-month period.

The pathophysiology of the septic response is a complex, multifactorial phenomenon which in part involves the activation of complement by bacterial endotoxin. A monoclonal antibody to human complement factor B, code-named 1H5, which was capable of specifically inhibiting the alternative pathway of complement activation at concentrations as low as 1 mu g/ml, is described. This agent had no effect on the classical pathway of complement activation. It was capable of preventing the activation of complement by even high concentrations (0.1 mg/ml) of whole endotoxin; however, it was ineffective in preventing activation of complement by endotoxin derived from a rough mutant. This agent could potentially be used in the treatment of sepsis. JF - Infection and Immunity AU - Clardy, C W AD - Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Med. Cent., 1753 W.

Data were normalized to area of productive habitat. SPM's could not be defined for the Belizean or Jamaican data treated separately because the slopes of the relationships between catch per unit of effort and effort were nonsignificant and positive. This appeared to be due 1) to violations of the model's assumptions (catch composition was heterogeneous because fishermen target spawning aggregations and migratory fishes at particular sites) and 2) to possible differences in community composition among areas (the communities were not at equilibrium and productivity possibly differed among sites). Other assumptions had been violated by previous area-based SPM's so that the level of exploitation on the south Jamaican shelf has been seriously underestimated in recent decades. Although a SPM could be defined for the combined Jamaica-Belize data set, we conclude that these models should be used with caution in reef fisheries management because underlying assumptions are likely to be seriously violated. The surveys indicate, however, that levels of catch per unit of effort, catch, and effort in the south Jamaican reef fishery are significantly lower than those of 10 years ago. Depletion of a wide range of fish groups has apparently led to a decline in the equilibrium productivity of the fishery.

The compound 4-nitrophenol has been used as the adsorbate. The influence of adsorbent dosage levels, particle size, and the presence of buffer solution components, other electrolytes, and pH on the kinetics of adsorption of nitrophenol have been investigated. For some adsorbents, pH changes in the acidic region appear to have little influence on adsorption rates of nitrophenol, but for chars, reduced pH conditions appear to reduce adsorption rates. In the alkaline pH range, leaching from some of the adsorbents occurs, with the extent of leaching reducing as the carbon content of the adsorbent increases. Adsorption capacities for Yallourn coal, grus, briquette char and power station char using nitrophenol in phosphate buffer have been measured.

AN - 16581846; 3641358 AB - Heterochrony, as a means of evolution in which the rate or timing of developmental events of the descendant is altered compared with that of the ancestor, is of significance because it suggests that rapid and dramatic morphological changes are possible with few genetic changes. The putative origin of plant taxa by this means of evolution is becoming increasingly frequent in the literature but there is little evidence of the extent of the genetic change necessary to alter the timing of developmental events to produce such changes. This study shows that the onset of flowering can be altered independently from the vegetative transition in leaf form in at least one genotype of Pisum in response to different environments. Further, it identifies 9 mutations that act in a heterochronic manner to produce dramatic morphological changes that can be described as progenesis, neoteny, hypermorphosis or acceleration. In addition, it is demonstrated that the same heterochronic process (e.g. progenesis) may be caused by genes controlling distinctly different physiological processes. It is suggested that Pisum is an ideal model species for studies of heterochrony and that few genetic changes are necessary to bring about dramatic heterochronic changes.

Many of the problems of using Bt as a spray, such as environmental inactivation of the proteins or poor crop coverage, can be circumvented by modern genetic engineering techniques. These can now be used to transfer the genes for the toxic Bt crystal proteins from the bacteria into crop plants and so protect them from attack by economically important insect pests. For many years, the two major obstacles limiting the potential commercial use of transgenic plants expressing these insecticidal Bt proteins were the introduction of Bt genes into important agricultural species and having them expressed at sufficiently high levels to achieve insect control. Many of the technical limitations have now been overcome and the first commercial releases of transgenic insect resistant crops, like cotton are now, or soon will be, in the hands of regulatory bodies. Transgenic seed should hopefully come on the market over the next 4 or 5 years if general approval is given. One of the major considerations that might delay commercialisation is the possibility that insects may become resistant to the Bt proteins expressed in transgenic plants. Considerable research into the deployment of transgenic Bt plants on farms and/or in the production of multiply resistant transgenic plants will still be needed to ensure the effective use of this valuable agricultural resource.

The compounds phenylphosphorodiamidate (PPD), N-(n-butyl)thiophosphorictriamide (NBPT), N-(diaminophosphinyl)benzamide (DAPB) and acetohydroxamic acid (AHA) were tested in two flooded soils in laboratory experiments for their ability to prevent urea hydrolysis. In a vertisol with high urease activity, DAPB and AHA had little effect on the rate of the urea hydrolysis, irrespective of the rate of addition. The rate of urea hydrolysis was slowed by addition of PPD and NBPT at very high rates of application (10% of the weight of urea); after 8 days, 42 and 25%, respectively, of the added urea remained in the floodwater and soil. The effectiveness of the NBPT was increased by bubbling oxygen into the floodwater and by adding hydrogen peroxide; these treatments caused more rapid conversion of part of the NBPT to its oxygen analogue (which is the active urease inhibitor). Mixtures of PPD and NBPT were more effective than either inhibitor alone. Initially PPD inhibited soil urease, allowing sufficient time for NBPT to be converted to the oxygen analogue. Then as the effectiveness of the PPD declined, the oxygen analogue of NBPT inhibited urea hydrolysis. The results suggest that this mixture has the potential to improve the efficiency of urea utilization in flooded rice fields.

Recent studies suggest that they function through multiple rounds of binding and release of non-native proteins: with each round of ATP-driven release into the bulk solution, a substrate protein kinetically partitions between folding to the native state or rebinding to another chaperonin molecule. To gain further insight into the mechanism of polypeptide binding and release by the chaperonin GroEL from Escherichia coli, we have undertaken a mutational analysis that relates the functional properties of GroEL to its crystal structure. Our functional tests identify a putative polypeptide-binding site on the inside surface of the apical domain, facing the central channel, consisting of hydrophobic residues. These same residues are essential for binding of the co-chaperonin GroEL, which is required for productive polypeptide release. A highly conserved residue. Asp 87, positioned within a putative nucleotide-binding pocket in the top of the equatorial domain, is essential for ATP hydrolysis and polypeptide release.

Exponential (Q sub(10)) and conventional Arrhenius relationships between T and R cannot provide an unbiased estimate of respiration rate. Nor is a simple linear relationship appropriate. The relationship between R and T can, however, be accurately represented by an Arrhenius type equation where the effective activation energy for respiration varies inversely with temperature. An empirical equation is presented which yields an unbiased estimator of respiration rates over a wide range of temperatures. When combined with seasonal estimates of Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) the empirical relationship derived provides representative estimates of the seasonal cycle of net ecosystem productivity and its effects on atmospheric CO sub(2). The predicted seasonal cycle of net ecosystem productivity is very sensitive to the assumed respiration vs temperature relationship. For biomes in areas where soil temperatures are low, soil respiration rate is relatively more sensitive to fluctuations in temperature. Nevertheless, more information is required before any predictions can be made about changes in soil carbon pools in response to future temperature changes.

The method involves solid phase extraction using C-18 Bond Elut cartridges, elution with ether, and solvent change to hexane. Quantification of the pesticide is by temperature programmed capillary gas chromatography using a nitrogen-phosphorus detector. Recoveries of diazinon are between 98-102% from water and between 70-80% from activated sludge biomass. These results are compared with a more polar organophosphate, propetamphos, for which the recovery from both water and biomass is close to 100%.

Compared to other management procedures for marine fish species, the RMP is the most thoroughly researched and intensively tested. The number of tests conducted to assess robustness is the highest for any fisheries management procedure in the world. The hypotheses considered during the testing process included any considered to be plausible, and some which were almost certainly implausible and certainly the most conservative management procedure designed for a marine resource to date -- the initial catch limit for an unexploited resource is roughly 0.5% of the estimate of carrying capacity if surveys with the precision typical of those conducted in the Antarctic are used to obtain the first abundance estimate. The RMP has been shown to set very low catch limits for worst case scenarios such as a population which is initially depleted to 30% of its carrying capacity and for which the productivity is equal to the lowest value considered plausible.

Prochloraz, chlorothalonil, and propiconazole were the most effective. No phytotoxic effects were observed in lettuce treated with either 0.23 g prochloraz/L or 1.15 g chlorothalonil/L, and both provided significantly better control than the recommended rates of mancozeb, propineb, and cupric hydroxide, widely used on lettuce in Australia. A mixture of prochloraz and chlorothalonil did not reduce the severity of anthracnose compared with either fungicide applied alone. Propiconazole at rates of 25 and 62.5 mg/L severely stunted plants, and this fungicide is not recommended for use on lettuce. Fungicides applied weekly were more effective than those applied on a 14-day schedule or those applied only after periods of leaf wetness. In most experiments unsprayed plants were severely diseased and weighed less than half of those treated with fungicides.

A third medic, M. laciniata, volunteered abundantly at the experimental site and large populations of its specific strain(s) of R. meliloti were naturalised in the soil. Serial dilution, plant infection tests, using 3 test plants in parallel, were employed to count the populations of each of the 3 types of R. meliloti that colonised the roots (rhizospheres) of the 3 medics. The size of the rhizosphere populations was regarded as an index of nodulation potential. Large populations of the naturalised rhizobia (about 45 000/plant) developed in the rhizospheres of M. laciniata; these rhizobia also colonised the root surfaces of the sown medics but in much lower numbers (<80/plant). Strain WSM540 colonised the rhizospheres of M. murex in sufficient numbers (1121 rhizobia/plant) to indicate that an effective nitrogen-fixing symbiosis would have established had seasonal conditions permitted. By contrast, the colonisation of M. truncatula rhizospheres by CC169 was significantly lower (64 rhizobia/plant; P<0.05) and the likelihood of nodulation was uncertain. Both WSM540 and M. murex are known to be acid tolerant whereas both CC169 and M. truncatula are acid sensitive. There was very little colonisation of the rhizospheres of the sown medics by non-specific inoculant strains. Nor was there evidence that the large naturalised population of rhizobia for M. laciniata competed with the specific inoculant strains for colonisation of the roots of the sown medics or interfered with their potential nodulation.

The bioassay was developed to differentiate substances that produce tumors by genotoxic mechanisms, nongenotoxic mechanisms, or both. Nine petroleum refinery streams were evaluated using chronic and I/P skin bioassays. The bioassay protocols and the test streams are described. Results indicated that sweetened naphtha, solvent-refined heavy naphthenic distillate, and vacuum residuum did not show any significant carcinogenic potential chronically or in I/P skin tests. Catalytic cracked clarified oil and light paraffinic distillate exhibited carcinogenic activity in the chronic test and were classified as initiators in the I/P skin bioassay. Hydrodesulfurized kerosene, hydrodesulfurized middle distillate, light catalytic cracked distillate, and a 50/50 mixture of straight-run middle distillate and light catalytic cracked distillate all led to tumor formation on chronic application and were deemed promoters but not initiators in the I/P bioassay. All relevant data are tabulated.

The models are used to predict the lifelong intake of persistent chemicals for a population. Using an existing toxicokinetic model for cadmium, the variability of a statistical exposure model is shown to depend significantly on variations in physiology. The methodology used to determine interindividual variability in exposure assessment consists of calibrating a model to a set of data and then using the model for extrapolation purposes. The important advantage of this type of second-order modeling is that it allows for the evaluation of specific risk factors, such as smoking or anemia.

Results are presented from a study of Hg burdens at 12 months-of-age in children from the Faroe Islands who had been breast-fed for various periods. Questionnaire data were compiled, and hair samples from both the mothers and infants were analyzed for Hg concentrations. Results indicated that the Hg concentrations in infants' hair correlated with that in maternal hair at the time of delivery, and that breast milk was the sole source of nutrition for a median of 4 months. The duration of nursing was not related to prenatal Hg exposure. Results indicated a considerable absorption of methylmercury from human milk and a slow elimination of the compound during the first year of life.

The primary cause of acute toxic responses to nerve-agent exposure in humans is the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. The LD sub(50) values for each chemical agent are tabulated. The relative potency of the agents varies with the route of exposure. With inhalation or percutaneous absorption, VX is more toxic than GB, which is more toxic than GA. Dermal toxicity is highest for VX, followed by GA and GB. The organophosphorus-induced delayed neuropathy for each of the agents is described. Genotoxicity screening tests have been negative for GB and VX, while GA studies have indicated only weak genotoxic potential. The rapid action of the nerve agents requires immediate decontamination and initiation of treatment. Due to federal stockpiles, the agents of primary concern are GB and VX.

Using a set of Escherichia coli tester strains, the mutagenic spectra produced by near-UV radiation were compared to those produced with superoxide-dependent mutagenesis. The experimental protocol is described. In the E. coli strains lacking superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, high spontaneous mutation frequencies were observed along with increased near-UV sensitivity.

CRS Report for Congress. AN - 62694802; ED378876 AB - This report discusses recent changes in federal aid to postsecondary students enacted by Congress during 1992-93, focusing on the 1992 Amendments to the Higher Education Act and the 1993 Federal Direct Student Loan (DL) Program. The report reviews recent issues surrounding federal aid to postsecondary students, such as program accountability and simplification, and discusses the various types of grants, loans, and national service programs available to students. It then discusses the changes made to various federal aid programs in the areas of institutional eligibility, default rates, and need analysis. Specific changes in the Pell Grant and Guaranteed Student Loan Programs (now called the Federal Family Education Loan Program) are then examined, including unsubsidized loans, loan limits, interest rates and fees, cost saving and risk sharing, repayment options, and consolidation loans. The report then discusses the DL program, outlining the phase-in period, eligibility, repayment options, and administrative costs of the new program. (MDM) AU - Schenet, Margot A.

None of these studies addresses a fundamental problem with the rent gap hypothesis--namely, its dependence on a distinction between actual and potential land rent. That distinction does not contribute to the explanation of either the location or timing of changes in land use. And, contrary to some claims, there are no antecedents for the rent gap in the history of economic ideas--whether Marxian or neoclassical. It is concluded that the standard neoclassical concept of land-use succession is more coherent than the rent gap concept. However, neither approach explains how neighbourhoods previously subject to disinvestment come to be perceived to have the potential for reinvestment and higher land rents.

AN - 62808304; ED372775 AB - This report reflects the results of an evaluation of the coverage in the annual Public Library Statistics program, a joint federal-state information collection project. It is the first phase of a broader project of the Census Bureau and the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to evaluate the overall statistics available from the annual Public Library Statistics program. The report contains four sections. Section 1 is a summary of findings. Among the findings were the following: (1) the coverage in the annual program is very nearly complete (99.5 percent); and (2) there is a degree of inconsistency for reporting information about public libraries. Section 2 describes the methodology of the evaluation study. Section 3 describes the findings of this first phase of the evaluation in detail. Section 4 consists of individual state descriptions. Each state description contains a summary of the coverage rates, a descriptive evaluation, a brief description of the relationship to the Census of Governments library directory, lists of specific public libraries and sources of undercount or overcount in the NCES dataset, a description of branch library counts, and additional findings of note. There are two broad purposes of this evaluation. First, it is an evaluation of coverage, intended to raise specific issues for discussion among NCES, the Federal State Cooperative System (FSCS), and the states. Secondly, it is the starting point for evaluating additional issues of the statistical program, including definitions and the accuracy/reliability of various library service measures that result from the program.

AN - 62803353; ED366635 AB - The Federal Government provides support for education well beyond programs funded through the Department of Education. Federal support for education, excluding revenues foregone through allowable income tax deductions, was an estimated $87.5 billion in fiscal year (FY) 1993, an increase of $24.1 billion (38%) since FY 1990, representing, after adjustment for inflation, a 25% increase. This publication provides data on federal support and trends in recent years. On-budget federal funds for educational programs in FY 1993 were estimated at $68.4 billion, an increase of 33% since FY 1990 in current dollars (20% after adjustment for inflation). Nonfederal funds generated by federal programs (predominantly postsecondary education loans) were estimated at $19.0 billion, a rise of 62% in current dollars from 1990 to 1993. The period marked an increase in on-budget program funds for elementary and secondary education of 12%, with a decrease of 13% in funds for postsecondary education, and a 58% increase in other education funds. It is noted that elementary and secondary schools and colleges derive only about 11% of their revenues from the Federal Government. Three figures and nine tables provide detailed information about expenditures, with an additional six detailed tables in six appendices. (SLD) AU - Hoffman, Charlene M.

AN - 21275324; 11701542 AB - This paper summarizes the themes and recommendations that emerge from the papers presented by the Working Group on Tropospheric Ozone. In terms of current knowledge, the following are considered of particular importance: a) lack of clear evidence for a human analogue of the terminal bronchiolar and proximal acinar changes observed in the lungs of ozone-exposed animals; b) lack of evidence for a connection between the acute respiratory effects of O3 and possible chronic respiratory effects; c) need to better define the characteristics of O3-susceptible individuals; d) the lack of adequate exposure assessment tools for reconstruction of lifetime O3 exposure; and e) incomplete information on the role of other ambient environmental pollutants in the facilitation of O3 effects or as a cause of effects attributed to O3 in human populations. Based on the above, several recommendations for epidemiologic research on health effects of O3 are offered. a) Studies to investigate the existence of chronic health effects of O3 are essential, particularly those that include autopsied human lung tissue and biologic and physiologic response markers. b) Studies are needed to link acute responses with chronic effects and should include joint epidemiologic and controlled-exposure assessments. c) Studies are needed to identify susceptible subgroups. Such studies should include newly emerging biologic markers of O3 exposure. d) Accurate and precise tools for chronic O3 exposure assessment need to be developed for use in retrospective and prospective studies. e) Collaborative studies between epidemiologists and laboratory investigators are needed to develop and evaluate markers of O3 exposure and to test O3 exposure models.

AN - 21270255; 11701562 AB - In most investigations of cell proliferation in vivo, the population under study consists of mononuclear diploid cells that undergo replication via normal complete division cycles. Because the phenomena associated with the cell cycle are sequential, only one is normally measured and it is usually adequate to quantify the proliferative activity in one of two ways. The first involves labeling the cells undergoing semi-conservative DNA synthesis with a radioactive DNA precursor, preparing autoradiographs of histological sections, and counting labeled nuclei. The other commonly studied parameter of cell proliferation is mitotic activity. The livers of rats and mice, unlike those of other mammals, consist mainly of hepatocytes that contain two classes of cell with respect to nuclei and several ploidy classes. These classes of hepatocytes arise as the result of modified cell division cycles. The peculiar cytological composition of the rodent liver has, until recently, caused difficulties in the measurement and interpretation of cell ploidy and cell proliferation by the above methods. Flow cytometry and fluorescence-activated cell sorting used in conjunction with quantitative fluorescent stains for DNA and fluorescently labeled antibodies to bromodeoxyuridine have permitted the rapid and precise quantification of cell proliferative activity in the rodent liver. Studies using these techniques have revealed that proliferative activity of hepatocytes may occur in different subpopulations of cells depending on the kind of toxicological injury inflicted on the animal.

AN - 21263926; 11703182 AB - Environmental epidemiology comprises the epidemiologic study of those environmental factors that are outside the immediate control of the individual. Exposures of interest to environmental epidemiologists include air pollution, water pollution, occupational exposure to physical and chemical agents, as well as psychosocial elements of environmental concern. The main methodologic problem in environmental epidemiology is exposure assessment, a problem that extends through all of epidemiologic research but looms as a towering obstacle in environmental epidemiology. One of the most promising developments in improving exposure assessment in environmental epidemiology is to find exposure biomarkers, which could serve as built-in dosimeters that reflect the biologic footprint left behind by environmental exposures. Beyond exposure assessment, epidemiologists studying environmental exposures face the difficulty of studying small effects that may be distorted by confounding that eludes easy control. This challenge may prompt reliance on new study designs, such as two-stage designs in which exposure and disease information are collected in the first stage, and covariate information is collected on a subset of subjects in state two. While the analytic methods already available for environmental epidemiology are powerful, analytic methods for ecologic studies need further development. This workshop outlines the range of methodologic issues that environmental epidemiologists must address so that their work meets the goals set by scientists and society at large.

AN - 21259645; 11703186 AB - This paper reviews the role of toxicological studies in understanding the health effects of environmental exposures to mixtures. The approach taken is to review mixtures that have received the greatest emphasis from toxicology; major mixtures research programs; the toxicologist's view of mixtures and approaches to their study; and the complementary roles of toxicological, clinical, and epidemiological studies. Studies of tobacco smoke, engine exhaust, combustion products, and air pollutants comprise most of the past research on mixtures. Because of their great experimental control over subjects, exposures, and endpoints, toxicologists tend to consider a wider range of toxic interactions among mixture components and sequential exposures than is practical for human studies. The three fundamental experimental approaches used by toxicologists are integrative (studying the mixture as a whole), dissective (dissecting a mixture to determine causative constituents), and synthetic (studying interactions between agents in simple combinations). Toxicology provides information on potential hazards, mechanisms by which mixture constituents interact to cause effects, and exposure dose-effect relationships; but extrapolation from laboratory data to quantitative human health risks is problematic. Toxicological, clinical, and epidemiological approaches are complementary but are seldom coordinated. Fostering synergistic interactions among the disciplines in studying the risks from mixtures could be advantageous.

AN - 21257292; 11703195 AB - A large number of animal and human carcinogens without apparent genotoxic activity exist (nonmutagenic carcinogens) that are difficult or impossible to detect with the currently used short-term tests. Because of the association of carcinogenesis with genome rearrangement, a system selecting for intrachromosomal recombination (DEL recombination) that results in genome rearrangement has been constructed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Because DEL recombination is under different genetic control than interchromosomal recombination and meiotic recombination, it is probably due to a different mechanism. It has been found that DEL recombination is readily inducible by 10 mutagenic carcinogens and 17 nonmutagenic carcinogens that are not detectable (false negatives) with the Ames assay. In addition, three out of four mutagens that do not cause cancer (false positives in the Ames assay) do not induce DEL recombination. DEL recombination is inducible by UV only in dividing cells but not in cells synchronized in the G1 or G2 phase of the cell cycle. Interchromosomal recombination, on the other hand, is inducible in G1 but not in G2. The nonmutagenic carcinogens induce DEL recombination only in actively growing cells, which may give some indication as to their mechanism. Further characterization of the mechanism involved in induction of DEL recombination may contribute to the understanding of the biological activity of nonmutagenic carcinogens.

AN - 21253603; 11701545 AB - Some laboratory experiments have suggested that power-frequency electric and magnetic fields (EMF) may be capable of influencing calcium efflux from cell membranes, pineal function, and circadian rhythms. As yet, however, no consistent, replicable laboratory model has been developed for any of these effects. Most assessments of human volunteers exposed to EMF have been negative, but occasional effects on vigilance or alertness and some modest effects on circadian rhythmicity have been reported. Several carefully performed studies of workers occupationally exposed to high electric-field strengths have failed to find effects on behavior or cognitive functioning. Although the bulk of human research on the effects of EMF on cognitive performance is negative, there has been less assessment of behavior and psychiatric symptomatology. Because some studies, in both humans and animals, have described effects of EMF on circadian rhythms, future research might concentrate profitably on the assessment of EMF in relation to depression and other cyclically mediated psychiatric disorders.

AN - 21251596; 11703199 AB - Hepatic parenchymal cells in most adult mammals are polyploid, with most of the cells in the quiescent or low-proliferation state. Polyploidization has been related to carcinogenesis and aging, and both end points are significantly affected by dietary restriction (DR). Direct measures of hepatic nuclear polyploidization in DR B6C3F1 mice have not been examined. We examined the effect of DR on distributions of nuclear ploidy in both sexes and on different age groups of B6C3F1 mice. Differences between young and old male mice and between old male and female mice were also compared. Hepatic nuclear ploidy values were measured by flow cytometry. The DNA histograms were analyzed for the percentage of nuclei having different classes of DNA content by gating channels between the areas under the peaks of diploid, tetraploid, and octaploid. The results indicate that 1 or 26 months of DR started at 4 months of age did not alter hepatic nuclear ploidy distributions in young and old mice. Our data suggest that in the male mouse, polyploidization is established by 5 months of age for hepatic nuclei and that ploidy classes are affected by sex at 30 months of age. For females, effects in the octaploid nuclei are seen as a result of DR.

AN - 21251587; 11703196 AB - To analyze the role of cell proliferation in phenolic compound-induced rat forestomach carcinogenesis, early forestomach histopathological changes as well as oncogene expression and reversibility of early forestomach lesions were examined in F344 male rats. For the analysis of early lesions, five animals each were treated with butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), caffeic acid, sesamol, or 4-methoxyphenol in the diet, each at a dose of 2%, and killed for histopathological examination after 12 hr, 1, 3, or 7 days. For oncogene analysis, three animals each were treated with BHA for 15, 30 min, 1, 3, 6, or 24 hr and then sacrificed. In the reversibility study, groups of animals were treated with BHA, caffeic acid, sesamol or 4-methoxyphenol for 24 weeks, and basal diet alone was supplied for a further 24-week period. Animals were killed at 24 and 48 weeks and forestomach epithelium was examined histopathologically. DNA synthesis increased within 12 hr to 3 days after commencement of chemical treatment in all cases. Toxicity and cell proliferation became evident subsequent to increase in DNA synthesis in each case. Elevated expression of c-fos and c-myc oncogenes was demonstrated 15 min after beginning treatment with BHA. In the reversibility study, although most of the proliferative lesions induced by these antioxidants regressed after cessation of chemical treatment, some dysplastic lesions were still observed at week 48. The results indicate that these phenolic compounds act primarily as mitogens in rat forestomach epithelium, with regeneration due to toxicity further enhancing cell proliferation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Ito, N AU - Hirose, M AU - Takahashi, S AD - First Department of Pathology, Nagoya City University Medical School, Japan.

AN - 21251372; 11703187 AB - Two different markers for quantitating cell proliferation were evaluated in livers of control and chemically treated mice and rats. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), an endogenous cell replication marker, and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), an exogenously administered DNA precursor label, were detected in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues using immunohistochemical techniques. The percentage of cells in S phase (labeling indexes, LI) evaluated as PCNA- or BrdU-positive hepatocellular nuclei was compared in recut tissue sections from animals given BrdU by a single IP injection 2 hr before killing the animals. Ten-week-old male B6C3F1 mice and F344 rats were exposed to known mitogenic hepatocarcinogens, Wy-14,643 (WY) in the diet at 0.1% for 2 days or 1,4-dichlorobenzene (DCB) in corn oil by gavage for 2 days (600 mg/kg/day in mice; 300 mg/kg/day in rats). In mice, PCNA and BrdU hepatocyte LI were similar in control, WY-treated, and DCB-treated animals. In rats, PCNA and BrdU gave similar LI in controls and Wy-treated animals. Although PCNA LI was statistically lower than BrdU LI in DCB-treated rats, both PCNA and BrdU LI for DCB-treated rats was increased over LI in control rats. Different patterns of PCNA immunohistochemical staining, interpreted to represent different subpopulations of cells at various phases of the cell cycle, were quantitated using PCNA immunohistochemistry. The proliferating index (PI), defined as the percentage of cells in the cell cycle (G1 + S + G2 + M), was more sensitive than the LI (S phase only) in detecting a chemically induced cell proliferative response.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Images FIGURE 1.

AN - 21251296; 11703197 AB - Tert-butyl alcohol, an important commodity chemical, additive to unleaded gasoline, and contaminant of drinking water, was evaluated for toxicity and was found to enhance nephropathy in male Fischer 344 rats. Because male rats treated with t-butyl alcohol for 2 years had a low incidence of renal cortical tumors, additional renal sections for the 90-day toxicity study were examined for the presence of hyaline droplet accumulation, nephropathy, and evidence of replicative DNA synthesis (S-phase nuclei) to indirectly and retrospectively investigate a possible role of alpha-2 mu-globulin in the pathogenesis of the nephropathy. Dose levels for t-butyl alcohol were 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4% (w/v) administered in drinking water. Significant body weight gain depressions were observed in all treated males, and there was an absolute weight loss in the 4% male group, none of which survived to the end of the study. Except for the 4% dose group, there was a treatment-related increase in hyaline droplet accumulation in the renal proximal tubules with crystalline, rectangular, and rhomboid forms of the protein evident. The severity of nephropathy was enhanced in treated rats, except for the 4% dose group. Replicative DNA synthesis, as measured by immunohistochemical staining for proliferating cell nuclear antigen, was increased in proximal tubules of rats dosed with 2% t-butyl alcohol. It is concluded that t-butyl alcohol exacerbated nephropathy in male Fischer 344 rats and increased renal accumulation of hyaline protein material consistent with alpha-2 mu-globulin deposition.

AN - 21251285; 11703194 AB - The progression of the cell cycle is controlled by the action of both positive and negative growth regulators. The key players in this activity include a family of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases, which are themselves regulated by other kinases and phosphatases. Maintenance of balanced cell cycle controls may be directly linked to genomic stability. Loss of the check-points involved in cell cycle control may result in unrepaired DNA damage during DNA synthesis or mitosis leading to genetic mutations and contributing to carcinogenesis.

AN - 21251268; 11701553 AB - During multistage liver carcinogenesis, there is a sequential decrease in gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC), associated with reduced expression of a major liver gap-junction protein (connexin 32). There are also several lines of evidence indicating that the induction of cell proliferation plays an important role during liver carcinogenesis. The relationship between GJIC and cell proliferation and their roles in liver carcinogenesis are not yet known. Results from various experiments suggest that there is a close relationship between the inhibition of GJIC and stimulation of liver cell proliferation. However, our results also suggest that different stimuli may affect cell proliferation and GJIC differentially by different mechanisms. Images FIGURE 2. A FIGURE 2. B FIGURE 2.

AN - 21251042; 11703181 AB - As we increasingly recognize the complexity of the pollutants in indoor and outdoor microenvironments, a broad array of inhaled mixtures has assumed scientific, public health, and regulatory importance. Few adverse effects of environmental pollutants are specific, that is, uniquely associated with a single agent; the adverse effects that might be considered in an investigation of the consequences of exposure to an inhaled complex mixture are generally nonspecific. In the context of this paper, we will refer to binary mixtures as complex, though we realize that a more precise definition of complexity would restrict the term to mixtures of three or more constituents. Their causes potentially include not only pollutant exposures through the medium of inhaled air but other environmental agents, such as infectious organisms and radiation, and inherent characteristics of the exposed persons, such as atopy. We review the outcome measures that have been used in epidemiologic studies of the health effects of single pollutants and complex mixtures. Some of these outcome measures have been carefully standardized, whereas others need similar standardization and modification to improve sensitivity and specificity for investigating the health effects of air pollution.

AN - 21249879; 11704886 AB - The skin, in particular the epidermis, offers unique opportunities to investigate the induction and control of cellular proliferation and tissue homeostasis both under in vivo and in vitro conditions. Moreover, it represents one of the most feasible model systems for experimental cancer research. As the primary border of the body, the skin has important protective and defensive functions. A general response to external injury consists of a thickening of the epithelial layer (epidermal hyperplasia) combined with an inflammatory reaction. This hyperplastic transformation of the skin is a critical condition of skin tumor development (i.e., conversion and promotion) and of the wound response. It is believed to be due to a transformation of keratinocytes into an activated state characterized by an increased rate of proliferation and the ability to release a series of growth factors and other cytokines that coordinate the defense reaction (e.g., hyperproliferation, recruitment of leukocytes, activation of the immune system) along auto- and paracrine feedback loops. The initial and probably later phases of this response depend critically on a local release of eicosanoids such as prostaglandins and lipoxygenase-generated factors. A unique reaction seen upon phorbol ester treatment of mouse skin is a strong induction of the enzyme 8-lipoxygenase, which might be involved in skin tumor development by catalyzing the generation of clastogenic metabolites thought to play a role in the conversion stage. Hyperplasia may be considered to be the result of an imbalance between the rates of cell gain and cell loss.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Marks, F AU - Furstenberger, G AD - Research Program in Tumor Cell Regulation, German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg.

AN - 21249872; 11704884 AB - Cancer, by definition, is a proliferative disease. The fundamental scientific issue explored at the international symposium "Cell Proliferation and Chemical Carcinogenesis" was the impact of chemically enhanced cell proliferation on the dynamic carcinogenic processes. This conference, held at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences January 14-16, 1992, provided an open forum for the exchange of new results, information, and ideas in four areas: a) general principles of cell division and carcinogenesis, b) critical evaluation of cell proliferation methodologies, c) cell proliferation and modeling of organ-specific carcinogenesis, and d) cell proliferation and human carcinogenesis. This overview summarizes key findings from that symposium. The general view expressed was that although cell proliferation is involved inextricably in the development of cancers, chemically enhanced cell division does not reliably predict carcinogenicity. Our knowledge of the multistep nature of carcinogenesis has advanced substantially during recent years; however, much still needs to be learned. A greater understanding of the cellular and molecular events in chemical carcinogenesis should improve all aspects of the overall risk assessment process, including extrapolations based on dose, species, and interindividual differences.

AN - 21249849; 11704885 AB - Chemicals may induce cell proliferation directly as mitogens or indirectly via cell death with subsequent proliferation to replace lost cells. Chemically induced proliferation has been demonstrated to play a role in the carcinogenic process. A wide range of procedures and techniques are currently being used to define the quantitative relationship between the extent and duration of chemically induced cell proliferation and carcinogenic potential in different species and target organs. However, a limited database and nonstandard protocols and procedures for measuring cell proliferation have made it difficult to compare results between laboratories. Comparison of frequencies of S phase between control and treated animals is the most commonly used end point in cell proliferation studies and may be regarded as an indirect indication of a proliferative response. This response can be ascertained as labeling indexes (LI; percentage of cells in S phase) after the administration of the DNA precursor labels (tritiated thymidine; 3H-TdR; bromodeoxyuridine, BrdU) or through immunostaining of the endogenous cell replication marker, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Both approaches are applicable to tissue sections. An important issue in the design of experimental studies for measuring LI is determining how and when to investigate proliferative responses in relation to the chemical treatment regimen. Variables to consider when designing cell proliferation studies include the animal's age, chemical dose and method of treatment, choice and dose of label, time and length that the label is administered, and methods of quantitation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Goldsworthy, T L AU - Butterworth, B E AU - Maronpot, R R AD - Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709.

AN - 21249690; 11703188 AB - We have been investigating the actions of chloroform (CHCl3) and bromodichloromethane (BDCM) in rat kidney after different routes of exposure. Male F344 rats were exposed by gavage with corn oil or water as the diluting vehicle. All experiments lasted 30 days with gavage exposures 5 days per week for 4 weeks (20 doses). All animals were injected IP with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) 3 times over a 6-day period at 50 mg/kg/injection. Kidney tissue was fixed and slides were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for routine viewing and by the PAP (peroxidase-antiperoxidase) technique using anti-BrdU to label cells in DNA synthesis. There were no significant changes in gross parameters evaluated between the control rats and the rats exposed to CHCl3 or BDCM. Rats exposed via corn oil gavage to CHCl3 displayed a segment-specific epithelial cell necrosis (6/6 high dose, 2/6 low dose). The lesions were primarily localized to the second segment of the proximal tubule, although some spread to cells in the first segment was occasionally observed. No histologic lesions were observed in the kidneys of rats exposed to BDCM. Preliminary results indicate a significant increase in DNA synthesis in the CHCl3-treated rats and a slight increase in DNA synthesis in BDCM-treated rats with corn oil as the diluent. The increase in BrdU labeling was primarily in cells of the S2 segment of the proximal tubule and interstitial cells of CHCl3-exposed animals and in cells of the S3 segment of BDCM-exposed animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Lipsky, M M AU - Skinner, M AU - O'Connell, C AD - Department of Pathology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore 21201.

AN - 21249685; 11703179 AB - This paper discusses the principles of study design and related methodologic issues in environmental epidemiology. Emphasis is given to studies aimed at evaluating causal hypotheses regarding exposures to suspected health hazards. Following background sections on the quantitative objectives and methods of population-based research, we present the major types of observational designs used in environmental epidemiology: first, the three basic designs involving the individual as the unit of analysis (i.e., cohort, cross-sectional, and case-control studies) and a brief discussion of genetic studies for assessing gene-environment interactions; second, various ecologic designs involving the group or region as the unit of analysis. Ecologic designs are given special emphasis in this paper because of our lack of resources or inability to accurately measure environmental exposures in large numbers of individuals. The paper concludes with a section highlighting current design issues in environmental epidemiology and several recommendations for future work.

As a result of their hydrophobicity and strong affinity for particulates, PAHs may accumulate in sediments and bioaccumulate in fish and shellfish at levels several orders of magnitude greater than found in source effluents (Herbes and Schwall 1987). Consequently, the vertical and spatial distribution of these persistent chemicals in bottom sediments provides useful information for evaluating the toxic potency of PAHs to aquatic life and for identifying historical and current sources of pollution. The presence of numerous industrial and municipal sources such as former creosote wood preserving facilities, petroleum and chemical storage and refinery facilities, paint and chemical manufacturers, combined sewer and stormwater outfalls, and municipal sewerage treatment facilities along shores of Newark Bay and its major tributaries suggests the potential for widespread PAH contamination (NOAA 1982). In this study, the concentrations of PAHs and total extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (TEPH) were determined in sediment cores collected from the Arthur Kill, Hackensack River, and Passaic River. Temporal distributions were examined in each core based on the activities of radionuclides super(210)Pb and super(137)Cs. From this information, it is possible to identify current and historical sources of contamination and identify sediments in each waterway that may pose a toxic hazard to fish and shellfish.

However, neurotoxic, reproductive and carcinogenic effects may also be important, particularly for complex mixtures. Methods for collecting epidemiological data including registries for birth defects and cancers are discussed. Difficulties associated with ascertaining adverse health effects of complex mixtures include the length of latency periods, and the subtleties of recognizing behavioral and psychiatric symptoms. WHO has developed standard tests for neurobehavior, and sensitive parameters for determining reproductive abnormalities are now available, that will encourage research into the neurotoxic and reproductive health effects of air pollutant mixtures.

In rare cases, an adverse reaction to an environmental challenge is so obvious that remedial measures are instituted before a body of evidence is formally collected. More frequently, links between adverse reactions and the environmental agent is obscured by many variables, and many studies are required to definitively establish the connection. The cost to society of false positive and negative results, the bias against publishing negative studies, which studies should be followed up, the point at which enough studies have been completed, and the form of data presented to the public are reviewed.

Following such variations is a challenge for investigators. Various strategies for assessing exposure are reviewed. These include personal monitors, exposure biomarkers, time/activity measurements, and/or models of the microenvironment. A four level nested design for assessing exposure to complex mixtures is proposed. From broadest to narrowest the methods for determining exposure are: questionnaires; monitoring of microenvironment; personal monitors and activity diaries, and biomarkers; and continuous monitoring, and source use information.

These include DNA abnormalities, alterations in calcium homeostasis, and production of melatonin by the pineal gland. Use of the two stage, initiator/promoter model for carcinogens should be avoided, because it is too confusing and limiting. An effort to conduct epidemiological studies of electric power products, such as nighttime lighting is recommended. In occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields, coexposure to other carcinogens must be explored.

However, there are difficulties associated with identifying such bioindicators, because of nonspecificity, dilution effects, and the timing of investigations so that the indicators are properly stimulated by the exposure. The complex mixtures most commonly associated with intermediate bioindicators include VOCs, tobacco smoke and radon or nitrogen dioxide, and outdoor oxidant pollutants and acid aerosols. For air pollutants, bronchoalveolar lavage material and lung tissue from autopsies may provide the most specific bioindicators. However, field studies could be conducted more easily if biomarkers could be found in biological fluids that are obtainable by noninvasive procedures.

Individual exposures appear to be greatest while indoors, with major contributors identified as outside air, indoor sources, and attached garages. Refueling, commuting, and other personal activities account for elevated exposures but endure for only a small portion of the 21-h time weighted average exposure. Average benzene exposures should be about 7 ppb, but proximity to a contaminated groundwater supply could increase exposures to over 40 ppb.

No increased mortality from either disease was observed for marketing/marine distribution workers exposed to gasoline relative to the general population. The kidney cancer standardized mortality ratio was 65.4 and 89.1 for kidney cancer and leukemia, respectively, in land-based terminal workers. Corresponding ratios for the marine cohort were 83.7 and 70.0. No relationship was noted between gasoline exposure and increased mortality from heart disease or multiple myeloma.

A review of three assessments of gasoline-exposed workers, one provides evidence of a strong link with MM and leukemia, a second indicates an association with leukemia and did not weigh data for MM, and a third is inconclusive. One case study implies a link between gasoline exposure and kidney cancer while a second does not. Some research shows an excess risk of death from malignant melanoma in refinery and gasoline-exposed workers, but an association with benzene/gasoline exposure, sunlight exposure, or a combination can not be definitively demonstrated with available data.

The assessment entailed analysis of existing measurement profiles to estimate job and task exposures for the 1975-85 period and extrapolation of truck and marine job exposures before 1975. Task exposures were greatest during tank filling operations in marine vessels and trucks. Measured average annual, full-shift exposures for truck drivers and for marine workers on inland waterways during 1975-85 were 9-14 and 2-35 ppm, respectively. Extrapolation to past exposures for truck workers were greatest for drivers prior to 1965.

Benzene, toluene, xylene, ethanol, methyl tertiary butyl ether, and other components or additives are moderately to mildly toxic at acute doses. These chemicals are not widely absorbed dermally, because of their voltaility, unless exposed skin is occluded. Aspiration pneumonia can result from absorption through lungs. However, no acute toxic health effects would be expected during the normal use of automotive fuels.

Available health effects data for MTBE are derived from rodent assays and exposure data are restricted to several measurements at some service stations. On this basis, the general population is not considered at high risk to MTBE vapor exposure. However, many uncertainties must be treated in estimating human risk from the use of methanol as fuel. This gasoline substitute may be toxic to humans at levels that impact enzymes involved in methanol metabolism, but available data offer little evidence to indicate that exposure to methanol vapors from methanol use as a vehicular fuel will cause adverse health effects.

The chemical is oncogenic in rats at much higher doses; the gonads and hematopoetic system are chronic toxicity targets. Differences in butadiene distribution, absorption, and elimination are minor between rats and mice. However, mice retain more butaidene and its metabolites after exposure to the same dose and have a higher rate of metabolic elimination. Major species differences are evident in the rate of detoxication of 3-epoxybutene, the primary metabolite.

Components considered include methyl tertiary butyl ether, ethyl tertiary butyl ether, butadiene, benzene, xylene, toluene, and alcohols. Emphasis is on neurotoxic impacts linked to chronic low-level exposures. All of the compounds discussed are neuroactive and for most there is a substantial margin of safety between the current permissible exposure levels and doses that would be expected to induce overt symptoms of neurotoxicity in humans. However, neurologic effects are observed at or below the TLV for methanol, toluene, and xylene.

Sufficient evidence points to an increased incidence of acute myelogenous leukemia from chronic exposure to relatively high benzene concentrations. Some research implies that benzene may cause other leukemias, but these studies are inconclusive. Linear-quadratic or conditional logistic models have been frequently used for risk assessment and appear appropriate for providing the cancer risk for airborne levels of 1 ppb to 1 ppm. Exposure regulation through occupational exposure limits, drinking water stabdards, and air toxics regulations are also covered.

The contribution of occupational risk factors as well as cigarette snoking, diet, and obesity is considered. The experimental rationale for the initial health concern of gasoline exposure and renal cell cancer appears no longer justified. Evidence from epidemiological studies indicates little likelihood for an association between gasoline exposure and kidney cancer in humans.

A computerized geographic information system was used to combine independently developed transmission line location data with with 1990 US Census data to characterize such populations. Socioeconomic and demographic data were documented for populations living close to a 230 kV line.

Organochlorine compounds were determined in milk fat samples from Inuit women and in fat tissues from various animals exploited for food. The total concentration of PCB congeners in human milk fat coincided with that in beluga whale tissues, while the profile for 10 PCB congeners was similar to that in polar bears. Mean organochlorine pesticide levels in Inuit milk fat were 2-10 times greater than those in samples previously sampled from southern Quebec women.

AN - 62808288; ED369353 AB - This report presents evaluations of proposed federal legislation to provide financial support for the restoration and preservation of historic buildings on the campuses of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The legislation enables money already appropriated to be spent on projects at HCBUs. First, the text of modifications to the bill, H.R. 2921, is presented. Next, a brief overview looks at the bill's aims, background of the legislation, and the need for it. A detailed section-by-section analysis is then provided. The 12 specific projects slated for assistance are identified. These are at the following institutions: Fisk University (Tennessee); Morris Brown College (Georgia); Shaw University (North Carolina); Savannah State College (Georgia); St. Augustine's College (North Carolina); Tougaloo College (Mississippi); Bethune-Cookman College (Florida); Morehouse College (Georgia); Howard University (District of Columbia); Hampton University (Virginia); Spelman College (Georgia); and Delaware State College. Other evaluations note legislative history and committee recommendations following hearings (favorably recommended); changes in existing law (none would be required); inflationary impact, cost and budget compliance (no inflationary impact, no significant costs); and oversight statement. A dissenting view statement is appended signed by eight representatives which supports the importance of the projects but argues that current fiscal pressures should not permit this authorization now.

Brief sections describe the history of the 73 existing land-grant institutions, the benefits of land-grant status, and the present status and enrollments of the 29 Indian institutions. This committee report amends the bill and recommends passage. The bill authorizes an endowment of $23 million for the 29 institutions; an annual appropriation of $50,000 for each institution to be used for instruction in food and agricultural sciences; an annual appropriation of $5 million for state land-grant colleges entering into cooperative agreements with the designated institutions for the delivery of extension services; and an appropriation of $1.7 million for 5 years for construction of research facilities. Dr. John Tippeconnic, Director of Office of Indian Education Programs, testified that the Bureau of Indian Affairs supports the bill and points out that Indian colleges serve the special needs of the rural Indian population in much the same way as land-grant colleges serve the rural population.

Report To Accompany S. 1059 from the Committee on Indian Affairs. Senate, 103d Congress, 1st Session. AN - 62807590; ED370739 AB - This report recommends a legislative amendment authorizing grants to support arts and culture development programs for Alaska Natives in the same manner as such programs are currently supported for Native Hawaiians. Missionaries and school teachers who arrived in Alaska in the late 19th and early 20th centuries attempted to impress their languages, customs, and values upon Alaska Natives and encouraged the abandonment of Native arts and cultures. While U.S. policy compelled the abandonment of indigenous languages and cultures well into the 20th century, Congress has in recent years authorized special programs to enable American Indians and Native Hawaiians to recover and sustain their arts and cultures. Due to the large distance between Hawaii and the mainland United States, Congress has enacted legislation to preserve and protect Hawaiian culture separate from legislation covering American Indian culture. Similarly, support for arts and culture development of Alaska's Eskimos, Aleuts, and Indians should be provided in Alaska. A possible beneficiary of the amendment may be the Alaska Native Heritage Park, a statewide Alaska Native cultural center in planning for almost 12 years. Includes the text of the proposed amendment to Section 1521 of the Higher Education Amendments of 1986 (the Program for Native Hawaiian Culture and Arts Development) and a cost estimate from the Congressional Budget Office of approximately $2 million annually.

H.R. 3351 is intended to assist the States and local governments in developing alternatives to traditional modes of probation and incarceration for certain young offenders. Such alternatives would enable probation and correctional systems to provide certainty of punishment for those 28 years and younger, in forms designed to have a greater impact on these young offenders than mere probation. The alternatives provided would also allow punishment of young offenders in settings other than traditional incarceration when it is appropriate and consistent with the demands of public safety. This report, directed to the full House, includes a summary of the bill's purpose, the background to the bill, and a section-by-section analysis. Also detailed is an amendment to the bill.

AN - 62803618; ED372733 AB - The Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources reports favorably on the bill (S. 286) to extend and strengthen authorities of the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) and to promote a number of education-improvement programs through fiscal year 1999. OERI is the research and development arm of the U.S. Department of Education. In spite of the importance of its duties, funding in terms of constant dollars has decreased approximately 80% since 1973. The proposed act seeks to reverse this trend by redefining the authorities, functions, and responsibilities of the office, and establishing five new research directorates. The bill also creates a nonpartisan Advisory Board of Educational Research to review research and evaluate its quality. An Office of Dissemination and Reform Assistance is established to provide national coordination, and regional education laboratories are established to advance the National Education Goals. In addition, S. 286 includes a minority focused civic education program for improved instruction in civics for minorities and Native Americans. This initiative also supports teacher education in civics. The Committee believes that this act will support educational research of the highest quality and will strengthen the flow of information and technical assistance to every student.

AN - 62807316; ED370740 AB - Of the 54 million acres of Indian-owned lands held in trust by the United States, approximately 75 percent is used for agricultural production. Nevertheless, in 1993 over 1.1 million acres of Indian agricultural lands lay idle. The American Indian Agricultural Resource Management Act seeks to establish a viable system for management and administration of Indian owned agricultural lands, enhance the production capabilities of Indian ranchers and farmers, affirm the authority of tribal governments in the management of Indian agricultural lands, and enhance educational opportunities for Indian students in the management of Indian natural resources. These two reports recommend passage of the act, and describe demographic and historical background for Indian agricultural programs; Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) agriculture programs and their staffing; educational and employment opportunities for Native students; and committee and tribal concerns about bureaucratic delays, civil trespass on Indian lands, leasing of Indian agricultural lands, and the rights of Indian landowners. Title II of the act creates: (1) 20 federally funded internship positions for American Indian and Alaska Native students enrolled full-time in an agricultural resources study program; (2) a cooperative education program with tribal colleges to recruit Native agricultural students for employment in federal agencies; (3) scholarships for Indians enrolled in accredited agriculture-related programs; (4) an agricultural resource education outreach program for Indian youth; and (5) federal employment for Indian graduates of tribal or BIA agriculture programs, possibly in exchange for assumption of student loans. Includes section-by-section analysis of the act and a cost estimate by the Congressional Budget Office.

AN - 62805022; ED363861 AB - Based on research findings and practical experience, this booklet presents 10 interrelated ideas to transform instruction in reading and heighten literacy learning for all students. The booklet notes that research has led to new understandings about basic cognitive and instructional processes (particularly those involved in reading comprehension). The 10 ideas discussed in the booklet are: (1) children, when reading, construct their own meaning; (2) effective reading instruction can develop engaged readers who are knowledgeable, strategic, motivated, and socially interactive; (3) phonemic awareness is one of the best predictors of later success in reading; (4) modeling is an important form of classroom support for literacy learning; (5) storybook reading, done in the context of sharing experiences, ideas, and opinions, is a highly demanding mental activity for children; (6) responding to literature helps students construct their own meaning which may not always be the same for all readers; (7) children who engage in daily discussions about what they read are more likely to become critical readers and learners; (8) expert readers have strategies that they use to construct meaning before, during, and after reading; (9) children's reading and writing abilities develop together; and (10) the most valuable form of reading assessment reflects current understanding about the reading process and simulates authentic reading tasks.

AN - 62803337; ED366614 AB - This compilation of recent statistical information on science and mathematics degrees in the United States also describes the larger environment of employment of individuals with science and mathematics degrees and provides some information on non-U.S. citizens receiving degrees in these areas. Data are derived from four survey programs of the National Center for Education Statistics, as well as from other government agencies. On the national level, bachelor's degrees in science and mathematics declined by close to 16 percent between 1985-86 and 1989-90, in contrast to an increase of 6 percent in bachelor's degrees overall. Decreases were found for every state. In contrast, master's degrees in science increased in 37 states and doctoral degrees in science increased in 44 states in the same period. On the national level, master's degrees in science and mathematics rose by 9 percent and doctor's degrees in these field rose by 25 percent. Increases were noted for computer sciences, engineering, and health sciences, but decreases were seen for the agricultural sciences, life sciences, and physical sciences. Nonresident aliens were awarded over 50 of all doctor's degrees in engineering and mathematics in 1989-90, and master's and doctor's degrees in these field increased at a faster rate for nonresident aliens than for U.S. students. Forty-five tables and four charts summarize information on degrees attained. A glossary of terms and a guide to data sources are included.

This number has increased rapidly in recent years as immigration flows have brought in new residents who are native speakers of other languages. To accommodate persons who speak languages other than English, changes are being made in school systems, in the workplace, and in health and social support systems. This report is the first to present information about recent changes that have occurred in the composition and characteristics of persons who speak languages other than English in the United States. It discusses trends between 1979 and 1989 in the numbers and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of non-English language speakers. The report also focuses on the relationship between language usage and progress through school of children 8 to 15 years old and schooling of persons 16 to 24 years old. Appended are a list of data sources and definitions, information on alternate measures of non-English language usage and English language proficiency, information on accuracy of estimates and statistical procedures, and standard error tables.

For certain persistent compounds, like 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TODD) or mixtures of polychlorinated biphenyls, a primary pathway of human exposure is through ingestion offish obtained from affected waters. Pending water quality regulation for TCDD in Maine required that estimates be made of the rate of consumption of freshwater fish obtained from rivers that receive TCDD discharges. Because commercial freshwater fishers do not exist on Maine rivers, any freshwater fish that are eaten have been caught by anglers. A statewide mail survey of Maine's licensed anglers was undertaken to characterize rates offish consumption from rivers and streams in Maine. The survey was mailed to 2,500 licensed resident anglers who were randomly selected from state license files. The response rate of 70% (based on deliverable surveys) resulted in a usable sample of 1,612 anglers. Results ofthis study indicated that, if fish are shared with other fish eaters in the household, the annual average consumption of freshwater river fish per consuming angler in Maine is 3.7 g/d. Comparisons of findings of this study and of studies in other regions of the United States show considerable variations in fish consumption rates, supporting the use of state- or region-specific estimates of fish consumption in establishing water quality regulations for persistent, biologically accumulative compounds.

Toxic potency of metal-contaminated sediments was evaluated with use of hazard indices for each waterway. All metals of concern exceeded their respective National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration guideline limits. Vertical distribution of metals in sediment cores was examined with respect to radionuclides to determine approximate dates of deposition. Sedimentation rates were calculated from radioisotope measurements yielding pollution profiles of sediment cores indicative of elevated metal concentrations deposited prior to 1950. Decreased concentrations of certain metals were observed for periods starting in the 1960s. However, metal-laden wastes are currently deposited in the Arthur Kill and Passaic Rivers. The results of this investigation demonstrate that the presence of toxic metals in surficial and buried sediments must be considered a significant factor in the overall environmental quality of the Newark Bay and its major tributaries.

The results of the analysis indicated that concentrations of trace metals exist within the estuary at levels potentially posing serious ecological hazards to fish and benthic invertebrates. Based on the results of that study, a more extensive sediment sampling effort was conducted to more specifically identify areas with high metal contamination relative to potential sources. The focus of this study was to further quantify the spatial distribution of metals within the watershed and to more closely examine the ecological hazard at specific locations. In addition, vertical distributions were examined in sediment cores and the activities of the radionuclides super(210)Pb and super(137)Cs were measured within the cores to provide approximate dates of deposition.

Hearing before the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session. AN - 62632976; ED386658 AB - It is estimated that the typical American child will watch 8,000 murders and 100,000 acts of violence before finishing elementary school. Concern for the impact television violence may have on American society prompted this Senate hearing. As stated by Senator Hollings, the goals of the hearing were the following: (1) to determine the compelling State interest; (2) examine the historical record of Congress in this area; (3) review how the television industry could police itself; and (4) study the numerous bills which had been introduced. Opening statements were made by the following U.S. Senators (in order): Ernest F. Hollings, John C. Danforth, J. James Exon, Conrad Burns, Byron L. Dorgan, John F.

AN - 62894778; ED359743 AB - This report on the educational needs of American gifted and talented students identifies indicators of an educational crisis, describes the current status of education for these students, and presents recommendations to meet the educational needs of these students. Indicators demonstrating the need for change include the relatively poor performance by American students on international tests and the small number of students performing at the highest levels on National Assessment of Educational Progress tests. Recent studies have shown that gifted and talented elementary school students have mastered 35-40% of the curriculum in five basic subjects before they begin the school year; most regular classroom teachers make few, if any, provisions for talented students; highest achieving students study less than an hour a day; and only 2 cents out of every $100 spent on K-12 education supports special opportunities for talented students. A review describes how gifted and talented students are currently identified, the number of students served, the kind of support available, the kind of education most gifted and talented students receive, and characteristics of effective programs for these students. Seven recommendations are offered: (1) set challenging curricular standards; (2) establish high-level learning opportunities; (3) ensure access to early childhood education; (4) increase learning opportunities for disadvantaged and minority children with outstanding talents; (5) broaden the definition of gifted (a broadened definition based on the federal Javits Gifted and Talented Education Act is offered); (6) encourage appropriate teacher training and technical assistance; and (7) match world performance.

AN - 62809810; ED363455 AB - The second of the National Education Goals, adopted following a summit meeting held in 1989 between the U.S. President and 50 governors, states that, by the year 2000, the high school graduation rate will increase to at least 90%. This document, an abridged version of a report produced by a work group on school completion, is an examination of what will be needed to achieve that goal. An executive summary notes the need for greater emphasis on retaining students whose background generally does not indicate a risk of dropping out, but who, despite that fact, constitute the majority of dropouts. It highlights four critical issues of policy and practice in light of current education reforms. The issues are: (1) the consequences for graduation rates of the trend to develop national standards; (2) the rationalization of state graduation requirements; (3) the educational implications of incentives to raise the academic motivation and effort of students; and (4) the development and testing of theory-based studies of school persistence and retention. The report indicates how many additional students would need to complete high school to achieve the 90% goal, and identifies characteristics of dropouts. Existing policies at the national, state, school, and local levels as they affect students are discussed; family, school, and social environments that exert influence are also examined. The report then notes four areas still in need of research, namely: what is really known about mainstream dropouts? what are the factors that lead certain groups to drop out at greater rates than those in the mainstream? what are the consequences of completing a GED rather than a regular high school diploma? and to what extent does the lure of adolescent employment and the challenge of teenage parenting influence the prospects for higher graduation rates? Finally, the report calls for a move toward developing and advancing theoretical concepts that treat retention, graduation and completion as consequences of a dynamic interaction of such variables as student characteristics, school context, occupational prospects, and cultural influences, and examines some directions a national research agenda might take.

AN - 62809123; ED362960 AB - This report examines a 30-year history of educational change to identify differing perspectives, strategies, and useful principles. The three most influential perspectives in educational change are the rational-scientific perspective, which proposes that change is created through the dissemination of innovative techniques; the political perspective, which generates change through legislation and other directives outside the school district; and the cultural perspective which seeks improvement through value changes in organizations. There are four strategies for implementing change: fix the parts, fix the people, fix the schools, and fix the system. Systemic education reform offers new hope because it brings together the technical knowledge needed for improvement with a locally sensitive education strategy. Through the Goals 2000 Initiative, the U.S. Department of Education supports reform efforts within the framework of the six National Education Goals. The Department and the Office of Educational Research and Improvement support standards-based assessment techniques. They also assist states in developing curriculum frameworks and help disseminate sound research and practice-based knowledge. A reference bibliography, illustrative programs, and additional sources are included.

Opening remarks from representatives of the sponsoring agencies reviewed Goal One of the National Education Goals, which states that by the year 2000 all children in the United States will start school ready to learn, and described their agencies' work in the area of school transition. A plenary session included a presentation of various linkage and transition issues which were later addressed individually in small group discussions and regional laboratory activities. Two presenters then addressed the issue of parental and family involvement in the transition to school, while three individuals discussed the State Head Start Collaboration Program in Texas, Pennsylvania, and Oregon. Six roundtable sessions examined various issues involved in the home to school transition process. Concluding remarks addressed the challenges and opportunities facing early childhood education. A list of the forum's participants, along with their affiliations, addresses, and telephone numbers, is also included.

AN - 62807747; ED362992 AB - This guidebook provides practical information for developing educational partnerships, which is based on the experiences of 30 different partnerships in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement's (OERI) Educational Partnership Program. Conclusions about the process of developing a partnership are offered. First, partnerships should be developed if there is a shared concern about a real problem that can be best addressed by organizations from different sectors working together. Second, beginning a successful partnership requires communication among participants about the nature of the concerns, the feasibility of a partnership to address those concerns, organization, roles and responsibilities, and the content and focus of activities. Third, successful partnerships require leadership to build commitment and gather resources, use evaluation and strategic and adaptive planning, and acknowledge and confront problems. Finally, there is no single way to ensure successful partnership development. However, successful partnerships exhibit open information sharing at every point. Specific sections address the following questions: What are the steps to developing a successful educational partnership? How does a successful partnership begin? How do successful partnerships begin implementation? What is the role of evaluation and planning?; what happens when things go wrong? and Will the effort be worthwhile? The appendix contains the Educational Partnerships program directory. (LMI) AU - Tushnet, Naida C. Y1 - 1993/10// PY - 1993 DA - October 1993 SP - 58 PB - U.S. Government Printing Office.

AN - 62805764; ED364586 AB - This publication was created to meet the needs of policymakers who must establish a context for viewing trends in the well-being of youth. It cuts across disciplines and agency lines, presenting statistics that address important aspects of the lives of youth--family, work, education, health, behavior, and attitudes. Taken together, the data create an outline of the conditions under which young people live in America today and the many challenges they face. An objective is to present changes over time, rather than just snapshots of contemporary conditions. When possible, tables go back as far as 1950. A total of 63 indicators are treated in this report, and each indicator contains a table, a chart, and a brief descriptive text. Tables provide current and trend information, while charts illuminate the tables, highlighting their most important aspects. Indicators are grouped into the following sections that feature particular areas of youth experience: (1) home (demographics and family composition and income); (2) school (description, outcomes, and out-of-school experiences); (3) health; (4) citizenship and values; and (5) the future, especially educational aspirations and employment plans).

AN - 62803879; ED363654 AB - This edition is the 23rd report in a series begun in 1964. It includes projections for enrollment, graduates, classroom teachers, and expenditures to the year 2004. Projections reflect the 1990 Census, with the incorporation of 1992 estimates and assumptions for fertility rate, net immigration, and mortality rate. The report also contains a section on methodology, describing models and assumptions used to develop the national projections, which are based on an age-specific enrollment rate model, exponential smoothing models, and econometric models. Most of the projections include three alternatives, based on different assumptions about growth paths. Although the first alternative set of projections in each table is deemed to represent the most likely projection, the low and high alternatives provide a reasonable range of outcomes. Chart 1 provides an overall summary of forecast assumptions. Total enrollment for public and private elementary and secondary education and for higher education is projected to increase to 55.7 million over the projection period, with increases in the numbers of high school and college graduates, the numbers of teachers, and total expenditures. Data are presented in 62 graphs and 44 tables. Five technical appendixes about methodology contain an additional 35 tables. (SLD) AU - Gerald, Debra E. AU - Hussar, William J.

These statistics focus on the national choreographer population and document the difficulties under which these artists work. Completed mail questionnaires from more than 500 choreographers and telephone interviews with over 200 more provided the primary data. Study findings revealed a disparity between choreographers' high educational attainments and their low income levels. The survey also found that choreographers' income was 34 percent below the median for women professionals in 1989 (about 73 percent of respondents were women). Average income from choreography for men was twice that for women: the gender differential was 48 percent. Other findings included the following: (1) 81 percent turned to choreography from careers as dancers; (2) 55 percent described their work as experimental/modern; (3) about 1,800 works had been composed by 479 respondents of which 28 percent were solos; (4) 397 reported problems finding rehearsal space; and (5) respondents identified 4 major problems: documentation of work, finding dancers, management, and personal and career advancement issues.

Although proximal impact deformation signatures may be obliterated through recrystallization, shearing and melting, distal impact evidence (such as microtektites, diamictites) may be preserved although Archaean terrains form < 5% of the exposed continental crust. Model predictions of impact during the Archaean include an apparent episodicity of major igneous and metamorphic events, deep-seated mantle plume activity and melting in asthenospheric diapirs, crustal anatexis, greenstone-tonalite events, palimpsest ring structures, relict shock textures, distal impact evidence and earthquake-induced tectonic slump features-diamictite breccias and olisotromes.

AN - 21275290; 11701535 AB - Confidence in results from monitoring genetic end points in environmentally or occupationally exposed individuals can be improved with knowledge of the normal variability of changes in genetic end points in the general population. Confounding effects can be determined, and study interpretation can be improved by correlation of this variability with various lifestyle factors such as sex and age, smoking and drinking habits, viral infections, exposure to diagnostic X-rays, etc. Eight blood samples were taken from each of 24 male and 24 female volunteers over a period of 2 years. Questionnaires pertaining to lifestyle were completed at the time of each sampling. Whole blood was cultured and slides prepared for chromosome aberration (CA) or sister chromatid exchange (SCE) analysis. Separated mononuclear cells were cultured with a range of phytohemagglutinin concentrations, and the maximum level of mitogen-induced blastogenesis was determined by measurement of [3H]thymidine uptake. There was a significant effect of both year and season of sampling for all three end points. Because there was no consistent pattern in 2 successive years, effects were thought to be independent of season. No significant effects in any of the three end points were found with respect to sex or age nor any of the other lifestyle factors, although SCE frequency and mitogen-induced blastogenesis were nearly always higher in females than in males. These results point to the need for concurrent sampling of controls with exposed populations.

AN - 21270190; 11701525 AB - This paper reviews several monitoring studies where the short-term HPRT assay has been applied. The original method uses autoradiography to detect 3H-thymidine incorporation in variant cells that have undergone DNA synthesis; the bromodeoxyuridine modification employs this thymidine analog and fluorescence plus Giemsa staining. The studies discussed here were accomplished with either of these methods. methods. Exposures analyzed include radiation and chemotherapy as medical treatments and accidental exposures to radiation; these studies have been useful in the validation of the assay because radiation and anticancer drugs are well-known mutagens. Other potential mutagens such as environmental arsenic and a parasitic infection and praziquantel, used for its treatment, have also been monitored for hprt locus mutation. An overview of the results obtained with different agents and routes of exposure is presented here as well as some methodological aspects for the optimization of the assay for monitoring studies.

AN - 21268240; 11703175 AB - An effort to assess and quantify genetic risks from human exposure to mutagenic chemicals is urgently needed; otherwise genetic toxicology may well lose its credibility. Genetic biomonitoring provides us with an indication of mutagenic effectiveness in human somatic cells. The populations and chemicals selected for such studies form a useful database for genetic risk-assessment studies. Extrapolation to what can be expected in germ cells of exposed individuals should be possible by using good dosimetry (adducts) and a parallelogram approach. The principle is that genetic damage in the inaccessible human germ cells can be estimated by determining the effects on lymphocytes (or other somatic cells) from humans and mice and in germ cells of mice. Worldwide, opportunities for the costly mouse germ cell studies are limited. Knowledge of type of DNA adducts, their persistence and/or removal and dominant lethal studies, will be helpful in predicting stage sensitivity. Extrapolation from a lowest effective dose level is proposed. The available data for ethylene oxide and benzene are reviewed. The risk of heritable translocations in progeny of populations exposed to ethylene oxide is so high that more precise estimates seem desirable. In discussing the expression of the induced mutations, the importance of dominant mutations and of heterozygous effects of deletions and other recessives is pointed out. The molecular changes underlying dominant mutations in man are more limited than is the case for recessive mutations. This raises the question whether mutagenic agents can produce the specific changes leading to recoverable, dominant mutations. Extrapolation from increased mutation rates to predictable increases of human disease, whether by doubling dose or direct methods, have been criticized.

AN - 21263873; 11703168 AB - Somatic cell gene mutations arising in vivo in humans provide biomarkers for genotoxicity. Four assays, each measuring changes in a different "recorder" gene, are available for detecting mutations of the hemoglobin (Hb) and glycophorin A (gpa) genes in red blood cells and the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) and HLA genes in T-lymphocytes. Mean adult background mutant frequencies have been established; i.e., approximately 4 x 10(-8) (Hb), 5-10 x 10(-6) (hprt), 10-20 x 10(-6) (gpa) and 30 x 10(-6) (HLA). All the assays have now been used in studies of individuals exposed to physical and/or chemical genotoxic agents, and all have shown elevated values following exposures; examples are presented. In addition to quantitation, the lymphocyte assays allow molecular analyses of in vivo mutations, the definition of background and induced mutational spectra, and the search for unique changes for characterizing specific mutagens. The HPRT system currently has the largest database in this regard. Approximately 15% of adult background hprt mutations are due to gross structural alterations (primarily deletions) having random breakpoints; 85% result from "point" changes detected only by sequencing. In contrast, a specific intragenic deletion due to DNA cleavage at specific sites characterizes fetal hprt mutations, implicating a developmental mistake in their genesis. (This kind of developmental mistake in other genes is frequently observed in lymphoid malignancies.) Mutational spectra are just beginning to be defined for induced hprt mutations, e.g., ionizing radiation produces large deletions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Albertini, R J AU - Nicklas, J A AU - O'Neill, J P AD - VCC Genetics Laboratory, University of Vermont, Burlington 05401.

AN - 21261733; 11701527 AB - Chemical and physical carcinogens, present in our environment and encountered in a variety of occupations, produce damage to DNA. X-rays produced direct ionizations and indirect hydroxyl radical attack. UV light in the short wavelength is specifically absorbed by unsaturated bonds in DNA, RNA, and proteins. There are a number of genetic sites that are specifically affected by environmental agents, and an increased sensitivity is found in certain genetic diseases. The development of a fully malignant tumor involves the activation or altered expression of oncogenes or the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes that control normal cellular development. Mutations in the p53 tumor-suppressor gene are common in diverse types of cancer and could perhaps provide clues to the etiology of some cancers and to the effect of various environmental and occupational carcinogens in cancer development. The fact that environmental factors are involved to a great extent in cancer suggest that cancer may be preventable. Experimental as well as epidemiological data indicate that a variety of nutritional factors can act as anticarcinogens and inhibit the process of cancer development and reduce cancer risk. The interaction of cells with a number of environmental and occupational genotoxic substances such as X-rays, UV light, and a variety of chemicals including ozone results in an enhanced generation of free oxygen radicals and in modified pro-oxidant states. A number of nutritional factors such as vitamins A, C, E, beta-carotene, and micronutrients such as selenium act as antioxidants and anticarcinogens. Certain hormones such as thyroid hormones enhance oxidative processes and act as a co-transforming factor in carcinogenesis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Images FIGURE 1. FIGURE 2.

AN - 21258248; 11703177 AB - As part of an ongoing study on all limb reduction defects occurring among 1,213,913 consecutive live births in the province of British Columbia, Canada, during 1952-1984, cases with documented maternal drug exposure and chronic maternal diseases were analyzed separately. This population-based study was made possible through the existence of an ongoing Health Surveillance Registry, which documents all infants born with congenital, genetic, or chronically handicapping conditions in the province of British Columbia. Strict rules of confidentiality are obeyed. For this part of the analysis of limb reduction defects, cases with documented maternal illness, drug abuse, and exposure to environmental hazards early in pregnancy were analyzed as a separate group to identify specific, recurring patterns of anomalies. A total of 51 cases with possibly related maternal factors were identified. Among them were five cases with maternal epilepsy, four cases with documented maternal diabetes, and three cases with uterine anomalies. Three infants, all born in 1962, had documented thalidomide exposure. It is rarely possible to identify particular teratogenic factors or specific maternal factors as etiologically related to the pattern of limb reduction defects or a spectrum of congenital malformations. Exposure to environmental factors during pregnancy is not reliably registered and can thus only occasionally be ascertained in retrospective studies. This means that very large numbers of cases and cross-referencing to other family members are required to assess whether a potential teratogen is related to limb defects or not.

AN - 21258209; 11703173 AB - In an earlier study, we analyzed the aromatic DNA adducts separated from lymphocytes and granulocytes of smokers and nonsmokers using the nuclease P1-enhanced 32P-postlabeling assay. Here we compare the butanol extraction and nuclease P1-enhanced procedure on the same kind of samples. The DNA adducts of 42 per 10(8) nucleotides from smokers' lymphocytes were statistically higher (p & 0.05) than those of 11 from nonsmokers', when analyzed by the nuclease P1 treatment, but not by the 1-butanol extraction. The radioactivity obtained from the DNA digests on the TLC plates was lower in butanol-treated DNA samples when compared to those of nuclease P1 digestion. Lymphocytes appear to be a suitable test tissue for determining aromatic carcinogen exposure when detecting smoking-related DNA adducts by the nuclease P1-enhanced 32P-postlabeling analysis.

AN - 21253254; 11701536 AB - The edible part of fresh Chinese radish was chopped into small pieces, lyophilized, and then extracted sequentially with hexane, chloroform, and methanol. The solvent in each fraction was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure at 50-55 degrees C, and the residue was dissolved in dimethylsufoxide just before being tested for antimutagenicity as well as mutagenicity using the Salmonella/mammalian microsome mutagenicity test. We found that none of the three fractions exhibited any mutagenicity toward S. typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 when tested either in the presence or absence of S-9 mix. Interestingly, however, hexane and chloroform extracts could strongly inhibit the mutagenicities of both direct mutagens (e.g., 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide and sodium azide) and indirect mutagens (e.g., aflatoxin B1). In contrast, however, these two fractions did not inhibit the mutagenicity of benzo[a]pyrene, which is also an indirect mutagen. Both hexane and chloroform extracts could also markedly inhibit the activities of rat liver aniline hydroxylase and aminopyrine demethylase. The methanol fraction could inhibit neither the mutagenicities of direct or indirect mutagens tested nor the activities of those two rat liver enzymes. Results of the present study demonstrate that Chinese radish may not contain any mutagenic compound but does contain some nonpolar compounds with antimutagenic activity toward both direct and indirect mutagens. In addition, the antimutagenic activity toward aflatoxin B1 may be partly due to the inhibition of enzymes necessary for activation of this mutagen.

During simultaneous administration of o-cresol (1 mg) and BaP (1 mg), the incidence of tumors, the multiplicity of tumors, and the degree of malignancy all increased, but the latency was shortened. When o-cresol was administered before or after BaP (in identical doses), the carcinogenic effect was weakened. When o-cresol (10 mg) and BaP (5 mg) were administered simultaneously, the incidence of malignant tumors was similar to controls receiving BaP only (13.8%), indicating inhibition of carcinogenesis.

AN - 21252142; 11704879 AB - The lymphocyte micronucleus assay was used to measure the average frequency of micronuclei in a population and thus assess genotoxic effects. Data from 174 persons give an average value of 16.4 +/- 7.3, and a slight age-dependence was observed. To detect combined environmental mutagen injuries the micronucleus assay was used to study the effects of metal compounds. Cadmium ions increased the micronucleus frequency linearly after incubation with whole blood in vitro with 10(6)-10(-3) M concentrations for 30 min. Similarly, a linear increase in micronucleus frequency was detected with 10(-3)-10(-1) M mercury ions. Concerning the biological effect of selenium, it was found that neither sodium selenite nor selenium dioxide induced increases at concentrations of 10(-7)-10(-6) M; 10(-5) M caused a slight increase; 10(-4) M, however, destroyed the cells. These results suggest that the human lymphocyte micronucleus test can be used to assess genotoxic injuries due to environmental effects in human lymphocytes.

AN - 21249912; 11704878 AB - Somatic mutations have been implicated as critical early events in carcinogenesis. Point mutations, deletions, and translocation events have been shown to activate oncogenes or inactivate suppressor oncogenes. In human population monitoring, quantitative analysis of mutation events that affect gene function is limited to those genes whose cellular phenotypes can be identified by selection procedures and to those tissues (like blood) that are accessible for analysis. In an effort to determine the frequency and types of mutations that can be detected at the hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) gene, we have used the T-cell cloning assay and have developed a strategy to propagate mutants and screen for point mutations and breakage events. Early in the clonal expansion of mutants, 1-2 x 10(4) cells are prepared as a crude cell lysate, and a sample is analyzed using the multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Those mutants that yield altered DNA fragments are then expanded for Southern blot hybridization, PCR, flanking probe isolation, and DNA sequencing. To date we have found presumed point mutations, intragenic deletions, and deletions that extend outside of the hprt gene. By analyzing mutations in selectable, nonessential gene markers, it should be possible to understand mechanisms of both spontaneous and induced genetic damage. An association of these specific genetic events with human diseases and the evaluation of the ability of environmental chemicals to induce these specific types of mutations will lead to a rational basis for evaluating risks from various chemical exposures.

While alternatives are being developed, whole animal models remain the most widely used method for assessing toxicity risks to humans. Some difficulties with animal-to-human extrapolations are noted, particularly use of the Maximum Tolerated Dose and methods used to estimate dose-response relationships. The potential of molecular toxicology for risk assessment is becoming more widely recognized. The risks of abandoning the animal model are discussed. The need to approach toxicity testing in an interdisciplinary fashion is stressed.

A thermodynamic model for determining the dissociation constants of complexes formed between the AhR and PCBs is presented. The free energy of binding is controlled by the lipophilicities, electron affinities, and entropies of AhR and PCBs. Evidence supports the idea that most PCBs will interact with AhR in their nonplanar conformations. The model is applied to determine PCB affinities for rat hepatic AhR. A strong correlation is shown between the PCB-AhR affinities, relative to TCDD, and corresponding toxic equivalency factors in animals.

The regional population is exposed to considerable levels of ionizing radiation due to high doses of external gamma radiation and indoor radon. Radiation-linked chromosome aberrations were detected in one of two healthy siblings and one father of leukemia patients. Four of seven cases were in two villages near a uranium processing plant, where potable water supplies were contaminated with radium-226.

An in vitro mammalian cell system readily detected chemicals that induce aneuploidy in mammalian germ cells. Cell division anomalies induced in mammalian systems in vitro also seem to be predictive for aneuploidy induction in the samel cell type.

Past and ongoing research has documented correlations between mutagenicity tests and other assays for carcinogenic potential and addressed unscheduled DNA synthesis in cultured mammalian cells, biomonitoring of human populations exposed to genotoxic chemicals, and mutagenicity of aerosol extracts. Plans call for further development of genetic toxicity testing and correlation of genetic toxicity to cancer and other heritable mutations.

In particular, the effect of iron-containing particles on respiratory epithelium (the main target of such compounds) is studied. Chrysotile, nemalite, and hematite were tested in cultures of rabbit tracheal epithelium. Morphological modifications after treatment with particles, acute toxicity, evolution to squamous metaplasia, and the oxidizing power of particles were examined. The apparent cytotoxic mechanism is explained. Nemalite was the most cytostatic particle, the most efficient at inducing squamous metaplasia, and produced the most oxygen-activated species.

Predictive methods are available that use the results of many kinds of tests and expert knowledge. The use of such methods to decrease dependence on bioassays is debated. A workshop on predicting chemical carcinogenesis addressed this issue and evaluated the state-of-the-art of predicting rodent carcinogenesis. The strengths and limitations of the National Toxicology Program bioassay were considered as a standard for evaluating predictive methods. Information from predictive methods should be incorporated into the process of choosing chemicals for the rodent bioassay. Predictive success for 44 chemicals is tabulated. Human expert predictions were most accurate because they use a broad range of information.

The effect of in vitro exposure to the PCB mixture, Aroclor 1242, in the presence or absence of either phorbol myristate acetate (to simulate superoxide anion generation) or N-formyl-methiomyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (to induce degranulation) on neutrophil function is studied. Results suggest that PCBs may stimulate or inhibit neutrophil function under various conditions. The effects do not appear to be mediated through the cytosolic Ah receptor.

Since some of these compounds are carcinogenic, an attempt was made to determine the human cancer risk due to nitro-PAH exposure. In one modeling scheme, genotoxic lesions were transferred to units of Gray, and in a second model a large-scale study on the carcinogenicity of a 2-nitrofluorene (NF) metabolite was used to estimate risk. Findings from both procedures agreed, with a risk range of 0.0000015-0.000049 on human cancer risk for an urban resident.

Inadequate sensitivities of batteries of in vitro short-term tests in identifying germ cell mutagens are indicated. The inclusion of an in vivo assay, as recommended in proposed regulatory testing guidelines, is advocated. The ability of short-term bioassays to detect mutagenic or genotoxic carcinogens is well established in the framework of carcinogenicity testing. However, many putative nongenotoxic carcinogens that have been adequately tested in short-term genetic assays induce gene or chromosomal mutation or aneuploidy.

Benzo[a]-pyrene (BaP)-DNA adducts displayed a similar pattern in all tissues and attained a maximum at 3-4 d, followed by a decline to 56 d. The maximum DNA adduct levels in each tissue after exposure to benzo-b-fluoranthene were observed 5-14 d after injection. DNA adducts in liver and lung can be predicted by PBL DNA adduct levels for BaP. PBL DNA adducts may prove useful dosimeters for the delivered dose of DNA.

However, the cocarcinogenic and promoting potential of pesticides is indicated by immunochemical and biochemical assessments. Recent research on the biochemical and genotoxic effects induced by the fungicide fenarimol is surveyed to demonstrate its genotoxic properties. The evaluation of pesticide effects at different levels of the multistep carcinogenic process is essential to the realization of a more complete evaluation of the genotoxic/carcinogenic profile of a chemical.

An hprt-deletion mutant hamster cell line was transfected with the plasmid vector pSV sub(2)gpt to isolate a transformant, AS52. Ionizing radiation and oxidative genotoxic agents are more mutagenic to the gpt gene in AS52 cells relative to the hprt locus in hamster ovary cells.

Sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and PAH-DNA adducts were not elevated in firefighters, but smoking habits and race were risk factors for increased levels. Radioimunoglobulin therapy increased background rates of chromosome-type aberrations and frequencies of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase mutations in cancer patients. Lymphocytes from pharmacists working with antineoplastic drugs showed increased in vitro sensitivity to SCE induction.

The subjects had been analyzed for levels of spontaneous sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) 2 yr earlier, and the current research addressed whether in vivo exposure to chemicals at levels that did not induce cytogenetic effects modified the sensitivity of lymphocytes to other mutagens. Interindividual variability in SCE induction was observed after in vitro treatments and did not correlate with occupational exposure. The variability in SCE induction sensitivity may be associated with genetic differences among subjects.

Mutations were detected more frequently in samples from adenocarcinomas relative to tissues from tumors other than nonadenocarcinomas of the lung. Asbestos exposure was predictive of K-ras mutation in adenocarcinoma patients; the relation appeared to be an inverse one in patients with other cancers. The proportion of heavy smokers was 60% among those with K-ras mutations, indicating the role of smoking in such mutation. Asbestos may act as a promoter by conferring selective growth conditions for clonal expansion on mutated cells.

AN - 62889429; ED358375 AB - The National Adult Literacy Survey profiled the literacy of U.S. adults based on their performance on tasks reflecting materials and demands of daily life. Data were gathered through interviews with a random sample of 13,600 people over 16, a survey of 1,000 adults in each of 12 states, and interviews with 1,100 prison inmates, making a total of 26,000 adults surveyed. Participants completed a series of literacy tasks and received proficiency scores on three scales measuring prose, document, and quantitative literacy. They were categorized in five levels. Major findings were as follows: (1) 40-44 million adults were at the lowest level, of whom 25% were immigrants, 62% did not complete high school, and 19% had visual difficulties; (2) 50 million at level 2 had difficulty with higher reading and problem-solving skills; (3) most at levels 1-2 rated their reading/writing as well or very well--they could meet most needs with limited skills; (4) 61 million were at level 3, 34-40 million at levels 4-5; (5) young adults were less proficient than those surveyed in 1985; (6) older adults were more likely to have limited skills; (7) many minorities and prison inmates were more likely to be at levels 1-2, due to fewer years of schooling or limited English proficiency; (8) higher levels correlated with being employed, working more weeks, and having higher wages; and (9) 41-44% of level 1 and 4-8% of levels 4-5 were in poverty.

AN - 62807770; ED362951 AB - This book is intended as a resource for educators engaged in the pursuit of quality and excellence. Specifically, Total Quality Management (TQM)--defined as a way of thinking and working to achieve continuous improvement through employee involvement and a focus on customers--is applied to education. Following the introduction, the first two chapters provide an overview of the national productivity and educational crisis in America. Chapter 3 describes the tenets of TQM, or organizational transformation, and chapter 4 discusses the basics of TQM in education. The fifth chapter provides a framework for analyzing ideas and innovations in education, which is useful for integrating TQM and improvement initiatives. A case study of the Bluebonnet Hill School District (Texas) is offered in chapter 6. The seventh chapter discusses ways to integrate TQM with other educational innovations, such as school-based decision making, effective schools, strategic planning, and outcome-based education. The final chapter examines challenges for leadership in constructing a new educational culture. Appendices contain seven basic tools, Deming's 14 Points, a list of design team members, and a description of National LEADership Network Study Group on Restructuring Schools activities.

AN - 62807434; ED368561 AB - Non-indigenous species (NIS) are common in the United States landscape. While some are beneficial, others are harmful and can cause significant economic, environmental, and health damage. This study, requested by the U.S. House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee, examined State and Federal policies related to these harmful NIS. The report is presented in 10 chapters. Chapter 1 identifies the issues and options related to the topic and a summary of the findings from the individual chapters that follow. Chapters 2 "The Consequences of NIS" and 3 "The Changing Numbers, Causes, and Rates of Introductions" examine basic aspects of NIS, their effects, how many there are, and how they get here. Technologies to deal with harmful NIS, including decision-making methods and techniques for preventing and managing problem species, are covered in chapters 4 "The Application of Decisionmaking Methods" and 5 "Technologies for Preventing and Managing Problems." Chapters 6, "A Primer on Federal Policy," 7 "State and Local Approaches from a National Perspective," and 8 "Two Case Studies: Non-Indigenous Species in Hawaii and Florida" assess what various institutions at the Federal, State, and local levels do, or fail to do, about NIS. Chapters 9 and 10 place NIS in a broader context by examining their relationships to genetically engineered organisms, to international law to other prominent environmental issues, and to choices regarding the future of the nation's biological resources. Appendixes include: lists of boxes, figures, and tables in the document; list of authors, workshop participants, reviewers, and survey respondents for the study; and list of references by chapter. Additional sections contain an index to common and scientific names of species, and a general index.

AN - 62806507; ED369405 AB - This report, published in its entirety (OTA-TCT-578) and in a summary form (OTA-TCT-579) containing only the first chapter of the complete report, focuses on key topics and issues that are central to the successful use of electronic delivery by government. The review conducted by the Office of Technology Assessment concludes that the movement toward electronic delivery of government services is accelerating, but that many factors must be considered. The greatest risks of electronic delivery are overlooking the human element and users' needs, which would further widen the gap between the technologically literate and the technologically illiterate, and failing to capitalize on all the opportunities that partnerships among government agencies and the private sector could provide. Changes that will be required in federal management are outlined, and options for successful implementation of electronic delivery are sketched. Many rely on the amplification of existing structures. Five appendixes complement the complete report, including a list of the 11 boxes, 5 figures, and 22 tables that illustrate the discussion; and lists of acronyms and terms, contributors, field study participants, and contractor reports.

AN - 62806318; ED364220 AB - Many critics of American education see technology as an important tool in bringing about the kind of revolutionary changes called for in new reform efforts. Consequently, support for the use of technology to promote fundamental reform appears to be reaching a new high. Following an introduction describing elements of school reform, Chapter 2 describes how technology can support the kinds of student learning described in a model of reform presented in Chapter 1. Chapter 3 describes the ways that technology can support student learning as defined by education reformers, and Chapter 4 describes ways in which technology can support teacher efforts to promote student learning. Chapter 5 reviews the literature on the effects of technology on student learning outcomes. The final chapter deals with issues of implementation for projects attempting education reform supported by technology. Three tables and two figures summarize information about technology and reform.

Contractor Report. Statistical Analysis Report. Fast Response Survey System. AN - 62805327; ED364332 AB - As one step in the process of developing consensus on the definition of school readiness, the National Education Goals Panel requested a survey about the current beliefs and professional judgments of public school kindergarten teachers regarding school readiness. Conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics in the spring of 1993, the survey covered three general areas: (1) public school kindergarten teachers' judgments and beliefs about school readiness; (2) the characteristics of the teachers' kindergarten classes and their practices in these classes; and (3) the teachers' background characteristics. This document details the results of that survey. Of the over 1,300 kindergarten teachers surveyed, the great majority (96%) held the view that the most important factor, for kindergarten readiness is for the child to be physically healthy, rested and well nourished. A majority also believe that children should be able to communicate wants, needs, and thoughts verbally and that enthusiasm and curiosity are more important for school readiness than knowledge of the alphabet or counting ability. While most teachers believe that school readiness cannot be pushed, 94% also believe that they can enhance a child's readiness by providing helpful experiences; moreover, they are almost universally agreed that parents should read to their children and play counting games at home regularly to help children prepare for school. More than half of the document consists of tables of estimates and standard errors. Eight figures and five text tables are also included, and a copy of the survey is appended.

AN - 62802621; ED363671 AB - This fifth annual report on dropout rates in the United States presents data for 1992 on high school dropout and retention rates and high school completion and graduate rates. The report is based on the best and most current available data, drawing on the Current Population Survey of the Census and the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988. Dropout rates have declined over the last 10 to 15 years. The event dropout rate (proportion who drop out in a single year) for persons aged 15 through 24 years in grades 10 through 12 in 1978 was 6.7 percent, but in 1992 it was 4.4 percent. The status dropout rate (proportion who have not completed high school and are not enrolled at a particular time) for persons aged 16 through 24 years has dropped from 14.2 percent in 1978 to 11.0 percent in 1992. Dropout rates decrease markedly as income rises. The overall differential between Whites and Blacks is narrowing, although differences do remain for racial and ethnic groups. Persons in central cities, in southern or western areas, in low income families, and from Hispanic American families were more likely to be status dropouts than were other groups. The high school completion rate has gradually increased over the last 20 years, from about 82 percent in 1972 to 86 percent in 1992. Fifteen figures and 28 tables present information on dropouts and trends. Three appendixes provide 71 tables, 1 figure, and technical information about the study. (SLD) AU - McMillen, Marilyn M.

Fourth Report. AN - 62632886; ED393598 AB - This report proposes a new national strategy to prevent child abuse and neglect. Four components of the proposed strategy are that it be: (1) comprehensive; (2) neighborhood-based; (3) child-centered; and (4) family-focused. Specific elements of the strategy include: (1) strengthening neighborhoods; (2) reorienting the delivery of human services; (3) improving the government's role in controlling child maltreatment; (4) reorienting societal values that contribute to child maltreatment; and (5) strengthening and broadening knowledge about child maltreatment. Section 1 of the report gives a brief overview of the proposed national strategy and the five elements of which it is comprised. Section 2 identifies conditions in American society which led to the current crisis, analyzes the response of the child protective system, and discusses the need for reform. Section 3 offers an in-depth discussion of the five elements of the proposed national strategy, and section 4 compares the proposed strategy with related recommendations from other groups and institutions. Section 5 presents five guiding principles to be followed in implementing the national strategy, and section 6 outlines the potential contribution of major sectors and institutions in society to such a strategy. The report offers 34 recommendations, which are presented at the end of relevant subsections in section 2, and are consolidated in the appendix, along with the proposed national child protection policy.

AN - 62548534; ED400531 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress' (NAEP) 1992 reading assessment was administered to nationally representative samples of fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth-grade students attending public and private schools, and to state representative public-school samples of fourth graders in 43 jurisdictions. Nearly 140,000 students were assessed in all. Data were summarized on the NAEP reading proficiency scale ranging from 0 to 500, and results were reported according to three achievement levels at each grade--basic, proficient, and advanced. Major findings were that: (1) 59% of the fourth graders, 69% of eighth graders, and 75% of twelfth graders reached the basic level or beyond; (2) 25%, 28%, and 37% of grades 4, 8, and 12 students met or exceeded the proficient level, respectively; (3) from 2% to 4% of students at any of the grade levels achieved the "advanced" performance level; (4) fourth graders within the basic level generally understood simple narratives; (5) eighth graders reading within the basic level demonstrated literal understanding of passages; (6) twelfth graders within the basic level were able to interpret aspects of the passages they read and make connections between their reading and their own knowledge; (7) students attending private schools had higher average reading proficiency than students at public schools; (8) considerable variation in performance existed within and across participating states; (9) females had higher average reading proficiency than males at all three grade levels; and (10) fourth graders appeared to be learning reading through varied instructional approaches.

Executive Summary. AN - 62547911; ED404612 AB - Noting that the 1992 National Assessment of Educational Progress used a variety of innovative assessment approaches, this executive summary discusses a number of issues related to the new reading assessment framework. An introductory section of the executive summary discusses the new framework for reading assessment, the transition in reporting results of the assessment, and the continuing development effort. The next section summarizes the major findings, the results for student subgroups, fourth grade reading instruction, reading habits and practices, and achievement levels. A chart presenting the National Assessment of Educational Progress--1992 Reading Assessment at a glance--is followed by 19 tables and three figures of data accompanied by brief discussions on such issues as overall reading performance for the states, performance for student subpopulations, students' average performance across states, the instructional emphasis in fourth-grade classrooms, reading as part of reading instruction, and reading for fun outside of school. Also discussed in the summary is the development by the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) of achievement levels (Basic, Proficient, and Advanced) subsequent to the development of reading assessments, and the fact that while substantial proportions of students demonstrated understanding of reading materials considered straightforward for their grade (Basic), very few, at any grade, were able to examine more complex materials and extend their thinking beyond the information (Advanced).

The sampler was used in a pilot study in 1991 to assess O sub(3) exposure in Pennsylvania. Extensive personal measurements and detailed time-activity information were collected for 23 children. Factors affecting variations in indoor and outdoor concentrations, as well as personal exposures, were examined. The validity of the personal measurements was confirmed by outdoor stationary monitors. Research indicated that both indoor and outdoor O sub(3) concentrations exhibited a diurnal pattern, with daytime concentrations significantly higher than nighttime concentrations. Densely populated regions had lower O sub(3) concentrations than rural regions. Using the exposure data, two types of daytime personal exposure models were developed. The most important determinant of exposure was shown to be indoor O sub(3) concentrations. The results showed that the use of fixed-site samplers may not be appropriate for exposure studies.

One of these metabolites is the open-ringed intermediate trans,trans-muconic acid (MA). One such compound has been identified in the laboratory as the dialdehyde trans,trans-muconaldehyde (MUC), which as been shown to be hematotoxic when injected into mice. Two of the endproducts of MUC are MA and 6-hydroxy-trans,trans-hexadienoic acid (HHA). Using CD-1 mice treated with MUC, the identification of HHA as a urinary metabolite of benzene is confirmed, showing the intermediacy of MUC in benzene metabolism.

Five respiratory symptoms were defined, and the prevalence rates for each of the symptoms were calculated using chi-square tests. Data were also compiled on homes with different numbers of smokers, and with and without coal heating. Results indicated that a prevalence of chest illness, cough, phlegm, and shortness of breath was positively associated with women living in homes with smokers and coal heating.

AN - 14337547; 10477801 AB - Strategic planning was initiated at NIH in 1992. Each of the institutes was ordered to work together to develop a strategic plan based on 11 areas of biomedical science, human disease and dysfunction, and vulnerable populations. The development of the planning process from 1991 to the present is chronicled. The final plan, which was released in 1993, sets priority objectives for research support for critical sciences and technologies and for the application of these tools to human-health needs. NIEHS has proposed a research strategy that integrates the basic biological sciences, modern toxicology, and human studies to characterize the environmental contribution to health and disease, with a goal toward prevention and intervention. With the change in administration, however, the lasting impact of strategic planning at the institutes is in doubt. It is hoped that the strategic planning process has taken hold at NIH and will be continued into the future.

At issue is whether nonionizing radiation, which emits fields too weak to break chemical bonds, is damaging to human health. Since the 1960s, the results from numerous epidemiological studies have indicated a statistical link between cancer and high EMF levels inside buildings. The results of representative studies are briefly discussed, which have attempted to evaluate the possible health effects associated with cellular telephones, electric blankets, video display terminals, and radar guns. While EMFs do not appear to damage DNA directly, research suggests that they can increase the transcription of RNA and affect protein synthesis.

The alternatives to whole-animal testing include: endpoint assays, cell and tissue cultures, the use of tissue slices, toxicokinetic modeling, and structureactivity relationships. An important issue in using alternative models, however, is the correlation of results from alternative tests to those involving mammals. The central issue is the determination of how highly conserved a particular organ or biological system is and how well a given system correlates with the human system. Mathematic models are playing an increasing role in converting the results from alternative tests into data that are applicable to human risk assessment. Further aiding in the advancement of alternative methods is the use of structureactivity relationships, which aid in the understanding of cellular and molecular processes and the differences in these processes between humans and animals.

Whole rat lung preparations were exposed to either internal or external smoke. Lung preparations were also exposed to solutions of hydrogen peroxide to assess the effects of oxidants. Results indicated that mesothelial cells exposed to external smoke showed a dose-dependent uptake. Exposure to internal smoke did not produce similar results. Bronchial epithelial cells exposed to internal and external smoke produced results similar to those for mesothelial cells. These results were replicated when the cells were exposed to hydrogen peroxide. These findings suggest that mesothelial cells in general are sensitive to oxidant attack, but that the smoke components do not penetrate through the pleura.

The proposal, which seeks to create a national structure for supporting school reform, addresses three primary topics: (1) education goals, standards, and assessments; (2) state and local educational reform; and (3) work force standards. Achievement of educational goals, standards, and assessments would involve the establishment in law of the National Education Goals Panel (NEGP) and the National Education Standards and Improvement Council (NESIC). The legislation would also authorize State and Local Education Systemic Improvement grants to support state and local education systemic improvement. Finally, it would establish a National Skill Standards Board (NSSB) to develop a national system of voluntary occupational standards and certification. Each of these facets of the proposed legislation is succinctly detailed in this report. (LMI) AU - Stedman, James B.

The committee reports favorably on the bill, with an amendment, and recommends that the House pass the bill as amended. Consideration of H.R. 856 began in June 1991, and the various hearings and statements are summarized. As recommended by the Committee, the "Educational Research, Development and Dissemination Excellence Act" amends Section 405 or the General Education Provisions Act and reauthorizes the Office of Educational Research and Improvement through 1997. The bill also establishes five initiatives for educational research. The first is an 18-member Educational Research Policy and Priorities Board. A second effort establishes five National Research Institutes, for the following: (1) at-risk students; (2) innovation in educational governance, policymaking, finance, and management; (3) early childhood education and development; (4) student achievement; and (5) postsecondary education, libraries, and lifelong learning. A program of cross-cutting research is planned, and a National Education Dissemination System that will include the Educational Resources Information System and efforts toward the National Education Goals is established. A fifth initiative is a National Library of Education. The amended text is included.

Using literature records, comparisons are made of the guild composition between host species and provenances; a full invertebrate-hostplant list is appended. Sap-sucking Homoptera are particularly diverse and usually host-species specific whereas defoliating insects seem less prevalent and less specific. Few seed-eating insects are reported. Some provenances and hostplants exhibit local radiations in certain taxa, such as Eriococcidae in New Zealand, Notophorina psyllids in South America and scolytid beetles on N. dombeyi. Environmental stresses such as drought, disturbance and landslips, can induce outbreaks of certain scale insects and borers, affecting the dynamics of the forest. Generally, however, the influence of invertebrates appears benign, but occasional large-scale defoliation is observed on N. solandri var. cliffortioides, N. moorei, N. antarctica and N. pumilio. Collectively this fauna has two elements: a geographically recurrent Gondwanic element, usually monophagous, and a provenance-specific element (often polyphagous) locally recruited following vicariance of the host genus. The fauna of Nothofagus can be in stark contrast to that of adjacent forest types. In Australia, the insect profile of Nothofagus has more in common with fagaceous trees on other continents than the more recent Eucalyptus forests which surround it. There is almost no evidence of fauna transfer from Nothofagus to Eucalyptus. Relative to New Zealand, the Australian Nothofagus fauna is depauperate and may reflect truncation in Pleistocene glaciations. Typically low insect populations on these trees may partly explain the limited range of insectivorous birds and spiders observed in Australia. Much more data on the phytophagous insects of this biome is needed for comparative purposes. The fauna of the montane tropical subgenus Brassospora pollen group is almost unknown but could hold the key to the origin of fagaceous insect communities more generally. The conservation value of remaining Nothofagus forests is enhanced by recognition of their co-adapted fauna, some of which are arranged in stable functional groups likely to give valuable insight into invertebrate-hostplant interactions originating in the Cretaceous. Elucidation of its role in the processes of these unique forests remains a fertile field for endeavour in the future.

E.D. TABS. AN - 62894733; ED359888 AB - Using two large national survey databases, a study was done of trends in degrees conferred by colleges and universities. The data were gathered from: (1) the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) 1986-87 through 1990-91 "Completions" surveys, and the 1990 and 1991 "Consolidated" surveys; and (2) the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) 1984-85 survey of "Degrees and Other Formal Awards Conferred in Institutions of Higher Education." These surveys collected information on degrees conferred by level of award (associate's, bachelor's, master's, doctor's, first-professional; race, ethnicity, and sex of recipients; and major field of study. The results are displayed in eight tables. Highlights of the study include the following: (1) the number of all degrees awarded in 1990-91 increased by 2.7 percent over the previous year with the greatest increase occurring among Hispanics; (2) degrees awarded to women accounted for 54 percent of the total degrees in 1990-91; (3) computer and information sciences, engineering and related technologies, and theology were the only fields experiencing a decline in bachelor's degrees awarded; and (4) over the 6-year span of the study the number of master's and doctor's degrees had the largest overall percentage increases.

Contractor Report. Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62888664; ED360313 AB - This report on the supply of newly qualified teachers (NQTs) is based primarily on data from the Recent College Graduates (RCG) study of 1991. The survey, which was originally designed to provide information on NQTs alone, was expanded to cover graduates in all major fields of study; however, it continues to emphasize graduates qualified to teach at the elementary or secondary school level. It focuses on the number, characteristics, and teaching status of NQTs who were defined as college graduates receiving a bachelor's or master's degree between July 1, 1989, and June 30, 1990; who became eligible or certified to teach during that same period; and who had not been employed as teachers before receiving their degree. The number of NQTs who graduated from the nation's colleges and universities increased from 126,200 in 1986 to 140,500; the number at the master's level decreased by 1,000. Of the NQTs in 1991, 71 percent were female. Among NQTs, about 50 percent had a grade point average of 3.25 or above, compared to 42 percent of other bachelor's degree recipients. Fifty-nine percent of the NQTs had majored in education, about the same as the percentage in 1987 (57 percent). One year after graduation, 91 percent of the NQTs were employed, 73 percent full-time. The average annual salary for NQTs who were employed full time was $19,200 in 1991, compared to $24,200 for other bachelor's degree recipients. Of all NQTs, 85 percent were eligible or certified to teach at the elementary or secondary level. A bibliography of RCG reports and numerous text tables and figures are included. Four appendixes provide tables containing additional data referenced in text, tables with standard errors for data reported in text, technical notes, and definitions of terms and codes used in the report.

AN - 62810720; ED362539 AB - In the 1992 mathematics assessment of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), approximately one-third of the questions and about half of the student response time were devoted to questions asking students to construct their own responses. Regular constructed response items required a short answer with a problem solution, while extended constructed response required demonstration of student reasoning. Analysis of student papers shows that most made a conscientious effort to respond, but that performance left much to be desired. On regular constructed response questions, the average percent correct by grade level was 42 percent of grade 4, 53 percent of grade 8, and 40 percent of grade 12. For extended constructed response questions, the average percentages of student producing correct responses were 16 percent at grade 4, 8 percent at grade 8, and 9 percent at grade 12. Results indicate that extended constructed response questions can be successfully used in large-scale assessment and that they do signify student proficiency. The levels of performance on multiple-choice items were higher than for constructed responses. Sixty tables present study findings. A procedural appendix explains study methodology, with an additional seven tables. (SLD) AU - Dossey, John A.

National Postsecondary Student Aid Study. Statistical Analysis Report. Contractor Report. AN - 62808696; ED360902 AB - This report examines the changes that occurred in college student financial aid between 1986-87 and 1989-90 by comparing students receiving various forms of aid in the fall of 1986 with those receiving aid in the fall of 1989. The data used were derived from the 1987 and 1990 National Postsecondary Student Aid Studies (NPSAS). The overall focus of the report is on changes in the characteristics of undergraduate students who received financial aid and in the amounts they received. In particular the report looks at types of aid, sources of aid, and specific Title IV programs. The final chapter of the report then compares students who were enrolled in the fall and non-fall terms in 1989-90 to determine how they differed in their receipt of financial aid. Highlights of the findings include the following: (1) the proportion of undergraduates who received financial aid declined from 49 percent to 44 percent, and all the decline was in loans; (2) the average amount of financial aid per student increased from $3,132 to $3,797; (3) proportions of undergraduates remained stable across several demographic characteristics; and (4) longer term trends of more women, minorities, and older students enrolling in postsecondary education and receiving aid persisted.

AN - 62808643; ED361395 AB - Research conducted by the National Research Center on Student Learning (NRCSL) is reviewed as it moves toward a new understanding of learning and instruction. Research by the NRCSL into the kind of learning demanded by modern life has been shaped by the understanding, based on earlier research, that knowledge is actively constructed in the mind of the learner, and not just accumulated and stored for use. To engage in the construction of knowledge, learners must eventually attain intellectual independence. A fundamental concern of research at the NRCSL has been the relationship between knowledge and skill in effective learning. The focused and mindful drawing and testing of inferences appear to be powerful skills that may be indispensable to a strong conceptual understanding in school subject matters. This implication is found in the following areas of NRCSL research: (1) building on intuitive understanding of numbers and quantities; (2) linking background knowledge to new knowledge in text comprehension; (3) learning from effective learners in science; and (4) learning about the value of cognitive conflict. Research on teaching is indicating the importance of modeling by the teacher of mindfulness in learning. The outcomes of NRCSL research have the potential to enrich both research and practice, and the success of every school child depends on investigations such as these.

The report also contains profiles of eight programs specifically designed to educate children prenatally exposed to drugs or experiencing psychosocial traumas. Programs are located in the District of Columbia, Los Angeles (California), St. Petersburg (Florida), Tampa (Florida), New York City, Chicago (Illinois) and Palo Alto (California). Highlights of the review of the four study questions include: the number of children prenatally exposed to illicit drugs is increasing; the prevalent use of alcohol and cigarettes poses a greater prenatal threat to a larger number of babies than does any illicit drug; 30-40 percent of prenatally drug exposed children display developmental delays in the absence of effective early intervention; there is no profile of behavior and learning typical of drug-exposed children; educators should focus on identifying and addressing the problem behaviors, not on the causes; and successful programs use developmentally appropriate practice standards and not new instructional methodology especially for drug-exposed children. Recommendations, a list of 32 programmatic or organizational resources, and a glossary complete the report. (Contains approximately 132 references.) (DB) AU - Jackson, Shirley A.

This report presents results from the recent SASS. In 1990-91, there were about 80,000 public schools and about 25,000 private schools in the United States, enrolling about 44.8 million students, almost 40.1 million in public schools and 4.7 million in private schools. Seventy-five percent of central city public schools had enrollments that were 20 percent or more minority. In 1990-91, there were 2.9 million teachers in the elementary schools and secondary schools, more than 2.5 million teachers of whom were in public schools. Seventy-three percent of teachers were female and 87 percent were white. Forty-nine percent of all schools had no minority teachers, and 46 percent of all teachers had a degree higher than a Bachelor's of Arts. In the study period, both public and private schools filled almost all of their approved positions, and 10 percent of public schools and 16 percent of private schools provided teacher retraining to fill fields with anticipated shortages. Information about teacher attitudes is also presented. Sixty-seven tables and 39 figures present survey data. Appendix A contains 27 additional tables by school typology.

AN - 62884559; ED358374 AB - Goal 5 of the National Education Goals states that by the year 2000 every adult American will be literate and possess knowledge and skills necessary to compete in a global economy. An in-depth review of current research and literature on issues related to adult literacy and lifelong learning was conducted. The review focused on the following issues related to literacy and lifelong learning: the school-to-work transition; opportunities for training in the skills needed to adapt to emerging technologies, work methods, and markets; programs to meet the needs of part-time and midcareer students; projected increases in enrollments in college programs; and outcomes of college education related to critical thinking, effective communication, and problem solving. The following are among the major findings of research in these areas: (1) more adults are completing more years of education, and this trend will likely continue into the next century; (2) increasingly, adults are learning at all ages and in settings that vary widely with respect to degree of formality and organization; (3) technological advances are providing adults with more opportunities and options for controlling timing and setting of learning and are enabling postsecondary students to balance their time between work and education; and (4) ever-changing work environments require recurrent education. The literature review also revealed that there is little consensus on the definition of literacy and on what constitutes knowledge for citizenship and curricular areas likely to contribute to good citizenship.

This analysis used a subsample of the SASS teacher sample consisting of 2,041 newly hired public school teachers and 954 newly hired private school teachers. In the 1987-88 school year, 152,000 teachers were newly hired, 112,000 in public and 40,000 in private schools. Only 27 percent of public and 19 percent of private school teachers were supplied by the pool of "newly minted" college graduates who have traditionally met the nation's demand for new teachers. The primary source for new hires was the reserve pool of former teachers. Reentrants supplied 41 percent of new hires for public schools and 44 percent in private schools. Transfers from other teaching positions supplied 19 percent of public and 23 percent of private new hires. A fourth source of new hires was the delayed entrant, first-year teachers who engaged in other activities after completing their degrees but before entering teaching. Measures of teacher qualifications are needed to distinguish better among teachers of varying quality. Continued reporting of these data will be useful in tracking the relative contribution of each supply source in meeting the demand for newly hired teachers. Ten tables and five figures present survey findings. Technical notes on survey methodology are included, and an appendix contains 10 tables of standard errors. (SLD) AU - Rollefson, Mary R.

AN - 62806945; ED361473 AB - The Office of Technology Assessment reviewed the nation's literacy problem and the current and potential impact of using technologies in adult literacy programs. Data were collected from 2 workshops, 155 contributors and reviewers, 60 existing literacy programs, and 6 contractor reports. The information is summarized in this eight-chapter report. Chapter 1 is a summary and outline of policy issues and options. Chapter 2 examines the changing nature of literacy, the demographics of adult literacy, and the need for literacy education. The special needs of adult learners and the role of technology in meeting them is discussed in Chapter 3. Chapters 4 and 5 describe the existing system of literacy education and the federal role in it. Promising roles for technology in improving literacy education are outlined in Chapter 6. Chapter 7 deals with access/barriers to technology use in existing literacy programs, and Chapter 8 assesses the future role of technology in literacy education. Appendixes include the following: a list of the report's boxes, figures, and tables; information on major federal adult literacy/basic skills programs and key coordination provisions in literacy legislation; a glossary and list of acronyms; and lists of the study's reviewers and contributors.

E.D. TABS. AN - 62806037; ED361351 AB - This report presents non-fiscal information on public elementary and secondary schools for the 1991-92 school year and finance data for the 1990-91 school year (fiscal year 1991). Statistics are based on data from two of the four surveys of the Common Core of Data program of the National Center for Education Statistics. In comparing findings of the State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary and Secondary Education and the National Public Education Financial Survey with those of previous years, several findings stand out. There were 42.0 million students in public schools in 1991-92, an increase of 1.9 percent over the previous year's total. The 2.2 million high school graduates for 1990-91 represent a decrease from 1989-90, although the ratio of graduates to 12th-grade enrollment increased slightly. Of the 4.5 million school staff reported for 1991-92, 53.5 percent were teachers and 410,000 were teacher aides. The national ratio of total students to total teachers in 1991-92 was 17.3 students per teacher, a slight increase over the previous year. Total reported revenues for public elementary and secondary education were 222.8 billion dollars for 1990-91, compared with 207.7 billion dollars for 1989-90. Expenditures averaged 4,890 dollars per pupil in membership. Data are presented in 14 tables, with 14 tables of state aggregate data, revised final tabulations, in Appendix A and the survey forms in Appendix B. (SLD) AU - Johnson, Frank H.

Development of a co-culture clonal survival assay for quantification of chemical cytotoxicity in high-density cell cultures. AN - 21259622; 11701520 AB - A co-culture clonal survival assay was developed to measure the cytotoxicity of test chemical treatments to BALB/c-3T3 cells because the standard clonal survival assay using 200 wild type (WT) cells frequently overestimates chemical cytotoxicity when compared with identical treatment doses in high-density cultures. The assay used co-cultures of 3.2 x 10(4) WT cells, the same seeding density used in the transformation assay, and 200 ouabain resistant (OUAr) cells. After a 48-hr test chemical treatment, co-cultured cells were fed with culture medium containing 4 mM ouabain. The test chemical was cytotoxic to an equal percentage of WT and OUAr cells. Ouabain treatments killed the remaining WT cells. Thus, OUAr cells surviving the test chemical treatment measured the relative cloning efficiency (RCE) of all treated cells in the high-density cell co-culture. The co-culture assay succeeded because metabolic cooperation at the OUAr locus was not detected in BALB/c-3T3 cells. Five chemicals induced comparable cytotoxic responses in both assays, including actinomycin D, 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine, N'-methyl-N-nitro-N'-nitrosoguanidine, dimethyl sulfoxide and sodium chloride. In contrast, chemical cytotoxic responses detected in the standard and co-culture assays differed by > or = 10-fold for 11-aminoundecanoic acid, benzo[a]pyrene, cytosine arabinoside, and 3-methyl-cholanthrene and differed by > 2-fold for 2-acetylaminofluorene and dimethylnitrosamine. Detection of 11-aminoundecanoic acid-induced transformation was shown to be dependent on selecting treatment doses from the co-culture assay data. Thus, this method permits more accurate assessment of both chemical-induced cytotoxicity and transformation.

AN - 21251592; 11701521 AB - Recent reports have suggested that the incidence of genitourinary abnormalities in human males has increased during the past 50 years, including congenital abnormalities such as cryptorchidism and hypospadia, which seem to be occurring more commonly. Also, the incidence of testicular cancer has increased 3- to 4-fold since the 1940s. This increase seems to be worldwide including countries with a very high frequency of testicular neoplasia as well as those in which this cancer is rather uncommon. It has also been postulated that semen quality has been decreasing for the last half century. A recent study showed that the average sperm density has decreased significantly from 113 million/mL in 1940 to 66 million/mL in 1990. The mean seminal volume has also declined, indicating that the decrease in the total sperm count is even more pronounced than the fall in sperm density would indicate. The remarkable increase in frequency of testicular abnormalities over a relatively short period of time may be due to environmental rather than genetic factors. There is an epidemiological link between the occurrence of different testicular abnormalities. Therefore, common prenatally acting etiological factors with adverse effects on the fetal male gonad might be suspected. However, postnatal influences may also have a deleterious effect on male fertility. From the reproductive point of view, an increased impact on the human male gonad is of concern.

AN - 21251279; 11704877 AB - Toxics use reduction is a new chemical hazard management approach that has emerged in several state laws over the past years. While toxics use reduction has been promoted as a means of preventing environmental pollution, little thought has been given to its adoption as a means of managing reproductive hazards. This paper provides illustrations of use reduction approaches to conventionally recognized reproductive and developmental toxicants. These approaches will require the opening of a new dialogue between industrial designers and process managers and those most concerned about reproductive health. Several different strategies are proposed that might be adopted into state programs for promoting reduction in the use of reproductive and developmental toxicants.

Transformation Responses of 168 Chemicals Compared with Mutagenicity in Salmonella and Carcinogenicity in Rodent Bioassays AN - 14332052; 10477334 AB - The ability of 168 compounds to induce transformation in BALB/c-3T3 cell cultures was investigated and compared to results of carcinogenicity studies in rodents and mutagenicity studies in Salmonella. Mutagenicity was demonstrated by 49 and 24 of the 84 carcinogenic and 77 noncarcinogenic compounds, respectively. Seven chemicals were research compounds. Neither the transformation assay or the Salmonella assay could distinguish carcinogenicity among mutagenic compounds. For mutagenic compounds, the transformation assay was capable of distinguishing noncarcinogens from carcinogens, detecting 70 and 94, respectively. Concordance between the transformation and Salmonella assays was better than that between Salmonella and rodent assays. Combined results from the transformation and Salmonella assays demonstrated carcinogen sensitivity and nonmutagenic noncarcinogenic specificities of 83 and 75%, respectively.

Prenatal influences include nutritional status of the mother, as well as her age; exposure to chemicals including drugs, tobacco, and alcohol; number of pregnancies; and physical surroundings including altitude and climate. Postnatal growth and onset of puberty are influenced by several factors including heredity, socioeconomic and nutritional status, stress, disease, and amount of physical activity. It is known that in developed countries, children in higher socioeconomic groups are taller and mature faster. In these regions, urbanization has a positive effect on final growth attainment, but the reverse is true of developing countries with urban slums.

Exposure to toxic chemicals in early pregnancy usually leads to teratogenic effects; late exposure results in either direct carcinogenesis or in tumorigenesis after postnatal exposure to a promoter. Most research has been done on maternal and cord blood. Offspring of women involved in dentistry or medicine have a higher risk of childhood cancer. The role of paternal exposure is in question, although childhood cancer rates are higher among the offspring of men employed in heavy industry. Cord blood studies have demonstrated the presence of potential carcinogenic and genotoxic agents including pesticide metabolites, PCBs, and aflatoxin and its metabolites.

Methyl mercury exposure during pregnancy is known to cause Minamata disease in offspring. Exposure to PCBs from maternal ingestion of contaminated cooking oil has affected offspring with skin discoloration, growth retardation, lung abnormalities and developmental delays. Prenatal exposure to methyl isocyanate during the 1984 Bhopal, India, contamination incident quadrupled spontaneous abortion among women up to 20 weeks pregnant, compared with residents of an unaffected region. Mortality among neonates was also higher. An international registry for monitoring environmental risks to pregnancy and reproductive health is recommended. Technology transfer from developed to developing countries will be necessary for providing immediate and long-term responses to environmental risks.

Nearly 700 women who were pregnant at the time of the accident lived in two nearby areas and were exposed to up to 10 bar were followed with their children. Surveys of 7000 pregnancies that included the period 3 yr prior to and 5 yr after the accident were made. An increase in thyroid disorders, anemia, hypertension, and pregnancy complications was noted among the exposed women. The health of offspring was also affected by exposure. Although birth weight was unaffected, Apgar scores declined, perinatal and neonatal mortality increased, and neurological, somatic, and hematological disorders increased among children JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Kulakov, VI AU - Sokur, T N AU - Volobuev, AI AU - Tzibulskaya, I S AU - Malisheva, V A AU - Zikin, B I AU - Ezova, L C Y1 - 1993/07// PY - 1993 DA - Jul 1993 SP - 117 PB - US Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, P.O.

II. Investigation of Experimental Parameters that Influence Detection of Benzo[a]pyrene-Induced Transformation AN - 14329187; 10477331 AB - Cell cultures of BALB/c-3T3 cells were exposed to two concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene and studied for generation of spontaneous transformations. The compound was studied as a model for transformation induction by other chemicals. The transformation response was significant and was inversely related to the cytotoxicity of the dose, demonstrating the likelihood of mutagenic action. Response variability was attributed to ampule of cryopreserved cells and to the lot of fetal bovine serum. If the experiments showed a low level of transformation, a benzo[a]pyrene detection was impaired. Detection ability was normal when transformation levels were high. Results should be expressed as foci/vessel instead of foci/surviving cells.

Women who lived near petrochemical plants and had high levels of solvent metabolites in blood or urine were more likely to experience pregnancy complications than those with normal levels. Complications associated with styrene or other aromatic hydrocarbon exposure included toxemia and kidney abnormalities. Subjects living near a Pb smelter demonstrated higher blood Pb levels and a tendency to exhibit the complications of threatened abortion, anemia and toxemia. Pregnancy complications arose at environmental exposure levels that were lower than those that produced spontaneous abortion or prematurity.

A study of early school performance of more than 900 children exposed to radiation from the 1945 atomic bomb at Hiroshima, showed that the most severely affected were exposed at between eight and 15 weeks of gestation. The next most severely affected group was exposed at between 16 and 25 weeks of gestation. Survivors of intrauterine growth retardation were more severely mentally impaired if the growth arrest occurred prior to 28 weeks of gestation. Head circumference was decreased in the most severely impaired, indicating a possible influence on brain development from maternal exposure to neurotoxicants.

Several quantitative parameters for assessing risk are described, including no-observed-adverse-effect level, reference dose or concentration, and benchmark dose. Future research should focus on determining critical periods and testing for systems in addition to the central nervous system, for which some research has been completed. Animal model studies comparing one and two generation tests demonstrate the desirability of retaining the two generation system. Exposure prior to fertilization and continuing in offspring through two generations is recommended.

Several parameters of pneumotoxicity were changed by exposure to Cd, including increases in lactate dehydrogenase, and acid and alkaline phosphatases. In fluid from bronchoalveolar lavage, neutrophil percentage and protein content were increased, but macrophage percentage was decreased. Synergistic effects were found for the combined treatment for the enzyme activities, and for bronchoalveolar lavage protein levels. Exposure to radiation alone did not alter any of the parameters.

Environmental agents could affect the psychophysiological or endocrine function in ways that adversely affect sexual health. Environmental agents include exposure to toxic agents such as chemicals or radiation; drug, alcohol, and nicotine use; diet; and situational factors, such as overcrowding, stress, and cultural variations. For most factors, adverse effects on sexual health are anecdotal, and future research should explore these areas in well controlled studies. Research on the effects of work schedules is suggested.

Sexually transmitted diseases are a major cause of infertility sub-Saharan Africa. Other factors affecting fertility among Africans include female circumcision, illegal abortions, and complications from unassisted births. In Mexico, sexually transmitted diseases, teen pregnancies, and neoplasms of the genitourinary tract affect fertility. Socioeconomic factors such as malnutrition, overpopulation, literacy, and poverty are influences, as is environmental pollution. In Brazil, socioeconomic conditions are implicated in infertility, especially the inferior status of women, which has, until recently, limited access to health care.

AN - 62779107; ED361143 AB - This report provides background information on Senate Bill 184, the Utah Schools and Lands Improvement Act of 1993, under which the federal government would acquire over 200,000 acres of land and mineral rights from the state of Utah in exchange for federal land, certain mineral resources, or a portion of federal mineral receipts in that state. At the time of statehood in 1896, the federal government granted Utah "sections" in every township, totaling about 7.5 million acres, to be used for the support of public schools. These lands are not contiguous. Ongoing land management problems for both the state and federal governments would be remedied by the proposed exchange. The land acquired from the state would be incorporated into two Indian reservations, as well as into various national parks and forests around Utah. The Congressional Budget Office estimated the cost of this measure; the Committee made a regulatory impact evaluation statement; and the U.S. Department of Agriculture supported enactment with some suggested amendments. The U.S. Department of the Interior supported the bill, but pointed out potential "pay as you go" costs from reduced royalties to the federal treasury. The report contains proposed amendments, as well as a section-by-section analysis of the bill.

AN - 733450573; 16348956 AB - Acid-tolerant Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii ANU1173 was able to grow on laboratory media at a pH as low as 4.5. Transposon Tn5 mutagenesis was used to isolate mutants of strain ANU1173, which were unable to grow on media at a pH of less than 4.8. The acid-tolerant strain ANU1173 maintained a near-neutral intracellular pH when the external pH was as low as 4.5. In contrast, the acid-sensitive mutants AS25 and AS28 derived from ANU1173 had an acidic intracellular pH when the external pH was less than 5.5. The acid-sensitive R. leguminosarum biovar trifolii ANU794, which was comparatively more sensitive to low pH than mutants AS25 and AS28, showed a more acidic internal pH than the two mutants when the three strains were exposed to medium buffered at a pH of less than 5.5. The two acid-sensitive mutants had an increased membrane permeability to protons but did not change their proton extrusion activities. However, the acid-sensitive strain ANU794 exhibited both a higher membrane permeability to protons and a lower proton extrusion activity compared with the acid-tolerant strain ANU1173. DNA hybridization analysis showed that mutants AS25 and AS28 carried a single copy of Tn5 located in 13.7-kb (AS25) and 10.0-kb (AS28) EcoRI DNA fragments. The wild-type DNA sequences spanning the mutation sites of mutants AS25 and AS28 were cloned from genomic DNA of strain ANU1173. Transfer of these wild-type DNA sequences into corresponding Tn5-induced acid-sensitive mutants, respectively, restored the mutants to their acid tolerance phenotypes. Mapping studies showed that the AS25 locus was mapped to a 5.6-kb EcoRI-BamHI megaplasmid DNA fragment, whilst the AS28 locus was located in an 8.7-kb BglII chromosomal DNA fragment.

AN - 62873237; ED359225 AB - This report on the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) of 1990-91 presents data on public and private schools, school administrators, and teachers. Data reported for schools include programs or services offered, schools with students receiving Chapter 1 services, graduation rates, and college application rates. The SASS was first conducted in 1987-88 and repeated in 1990-91. It is planned for 3-year intervals in the future. The approximately 80,000 public schools and nearly 25,000 private schools account for approximately 76 percent and 24 percent, respectively, of the almost 105,000 schools in the United States. Of the nation's 44.8 million children in kindergarten through 12th grade, about 89.6 percent were enrolled in public schools. Among the highlights from the survey are the following: (1) some 8.5 percent of public school teachers and 14.5 percent of private school teachers were newly hired in 1990-91; (2) almost 5.4 million public school students and about 200,000 private school students received publicly funded Chapter 1 services in 1990-91; (3) the percent of public high school graduates who applied to college averaged 53 percent compared to 76 percent private school rates; (4) a Master's degree is the highest degree held by 60.5 percent of public school principals and 47.4 percent of private school principals; (5) about one-quarter of public school teachers and 11 percent of private school teachers had over 20 years of full-time teaching experience in school year 1990-91; and (6) the average base salary of public school teachers was $31,296 and $19,783 for private school teachers.

Schools and Staffing Survey. Teacher Followup Survey. Research and Development Report. AN - 62869542; ED359220 AB - An important purpose of the Schools and Staffing Survey of 1987-88 and the Teacher Followup Survey was to provide data useful for analyzing teacher demand and supply. This report summarizes the important issues related to teacher supply and demand; presents descriptive statistics on supply and demand; and develops and tests multivariate models to identify teacher, school, and district characteristics related to staying in and leaving teaching. The original sample included approximately 67,800 teachers and the follow-up included about 7,500 teachers. Previous research had identified a number of probable relationships between teacher attrition and various teacher, school, and district characteristics. Despite extensive data available on these characteristics, many expected relationships were not found. A possible explanation may be in limitations of the survey, which have been identified as the following: (1) the models tested were too large; (2) a test of the overall fit of the model should have been performed; (3) the relatively small number of learners may have contributed to the difficulty in obtaining results; and (4) the time frame for the analysis may have been too short. Survey data are presented in 26 tables. Appendix A contains two supplemental tables, and Appendix B presents technical notes. (SLD) AU - Arnold, Carolyn L.

The 60 indicators have been divided into 6 areas: (1) access, participation, and progress; (2) achievement, attainment, and curriculum; (3) economic and other outcomes of education; (4) size, growth and output of educational institutions; (5) climate, classrooms, and diversity in educational institutions; and (6) human and financial resources of educational institutions. The report includes the text, tables, and charts for each indicator plus the technical supporting data, supplemental information, and data sources. Indicators on issues in elementary and secondary education are integrated with those on issues in postsecondary education to reflect the continuity of educational experiences. New indicators include the following: (1) age of first graders; (2) participation in adult education; (3) educational attainment of Hispanics, by recency of migration; (4) course taking in college for recent graduates and for recently graduated full-time teachers; (5) education and labor-market outcomes of high school diploma and GED graduates; (6) health characteristics of adults, by years of schooling; (7) participation in school decision making; (8) time in the classroom; and (9) international comparisons of reading literacy.

AN - 62858957; ED360318 AB - This study of high school sophomores in 1980 and 1990 compares the experiences of students in the two cohorts, identifying changes in in-school and out-of-school activities, academic achievement, self-concept, values, plans, and aspirations. Similarities and differences between the two groups are documented using data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) and High School and Beyond (HS&B, 1980). HS&B and NELS:88 sophomores are marked by basic demographic differences, including the smaller size of the NELS:88 1990 cohort, reflecting the baby bust of the 1970s, and a higher proportion of racial minority and poverty status sophomores in 1990. NELS:88 sophomores also reflect the influence of various waves of school reform since the late 1970s and early 1980s. Overall, the comparison paints a pictures that is in most respects encouraging in its portrayal of the high school academic orientation and postsecondary expectations of the 1990 sophomore class. Positive changes, however, are typically small or moderate in magnitude. Among the findings are: (1) general and college preparatory program placement has increased, at the expense of vocational program placement; (2) patterns of extracurricular participation changed especially in musical activities (31% in 1980 to 22% in 1990) and in hobby clubs (21% in 1980 to 7% in 1990); (3) changes in sophomores giving high importance to particular life values (e.g., marriage and family 83% rating this as very important in 1980, 72% in 1990); (4) small but statistically significant increase in the number of females aspiring to traditionally male-dominated non-professional occupations (15.6% in 1980 versus 18.% in 1990). Sixteen tables and 13 figures present data from the 2 studies. Three appendixes contain information about the survey sample sizes, standard errors, and other methodological and technical information. Appendix A contains an additional 20 data tables. (Contains 46 references.) (SLD) AU - Rasinski, Kenneth A.

Schools and Staffing Survey. Teacher Followup Survey. E.D. TABS. AN - 62857549; ED360379 AB - The 1987-88 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) and the 1988-89 Teacher Followup Survey contain data that can be used to examine issues related to the need for teachers, sources of teacher supply, teacher turnover, teacher attrition, and teacher shortages. This report describes patterns in the sources of supply and the demand for teachers in terms of indicators of shortage and surplus. All but two tables include national estimates for all teachers and for public and private school teachers separately. In 1987-88, approximately 2.6 million teachers were employed in the nation's schools, 2.3 million of them in public schools. In 1987-88, about 63,000 teachers were newly hired, and most were just out of college. In 1987-88, approximately 11 percent of open teaching positions were not filled. Reasons why teachers left the workforce were also studied. Seventeen tables present survey findings. Appendix A presents 17 tables of standard errors, and Appendix B contains technical notes.

A CBO Study. AN - 62783923; ED365296 AB - In 1991 the Federal Government initiated the multiagency High Performance Computing and Communications program (HPCC) to further the development of U.S. supercomputer technology and high-speed computer network technology. This overview by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) concentrates on obstacles that might prevent the growth of the high-performance computing and data communications industries. The market for supercomputers, relative to that of other technologies, is small. The main obstacle to the rise of large commercial markets for HPCC-developed technology is that cheaper workstations may preempt further growth of the supercomputer market as a whole. In addition, an economic inertia may occur, as conventional supercomputers, working well, become difficult to dislodge in the marketplace. The National Research and Educational Network (NREN) is central to the HPCC program. The ways in which Internet is becoming the core of a national data network promise well for HPCC in the future, but HPCC technology might be precluded from having a substantial effect on the current markets if demand for high-speed communications does not emerge as envisaged by HPCC leaders. Cost considerations and policy directions for HPCC are discussed. Five tables, six figures, and one box illustrate the discussion. Three appendixes discuss HPCC technology spinoffs and speed calculations.

Background Paper. AN - 62775410; ED364226 AB - This background paper analyzes technologies for tomorrow's information superhighways. Advanced networks will first be used to support scientists in their work, but will soon be deployed more widely in business, entertainment, health care, and education. Significant progress has been made toward the development of gigabit network technology since the basic characteristics of the design of broadband networks began to emerge in the mid-1980s. No insurmountable technological barriers to the gigabit National Research and Education Network (NREN) appear to exist, as work in the testbeds (i.e., initial testing programs) is demonstrating. Testbed networks model the configuration in which the technology is expected to be deployed, in that test sites are separated by realistic distances and realistic technological applications will be used. Testbed applications research helps researchers understand how the NREN can be used to achieve science goals and as a testbed in itself, demonstrating technology that can be deployed more widely. The following topics are reviewed: (1) the Internet; (2) broadband network technology; (3) gigabit research; and (4) application of testbed research. One table and 17 figures illustrate the discussion. Highlighted points are summarized in 10 boxes.

AN - 62770956; ED368601 AB - This document highlights some of the major issues of concern to the labor movement, particularly those that have pending legislation. This instructor's guide offers suggestions on how unions might educate their members on these issues during scheduled union meetings, seminars, or workshops, or in conjunction with specialized campaigns such as a one-on-one member contact program or a "get-out-the-vote" program. The booklet first presents a workshop format to be utilized after the instructor or group selects a topic to be discussed from those presented in the manual. The format can be incorporated into a 1.5 or 2 hour session and can be used to address any issue. The educational techniques suggested stress participant involvement through discussion because it is one of the best ways for adults to learn and will more likely motivate them to act. The format is divided into three steps: (1) introduction of issue and discussion, including such discussion starters as constructing a questionnaire, asking a series of open ended questions, using a fact sheet or handout, charts, or a film or videotape; (2) develop an action plan; and (3) assign responsibilities. The document includes a listing of additional resources with phone numbers for the AFL-CIO departments, 29 short films and videotapes, 4 sample questionnaires with answer sheets, sample discussion questions, fact sheets and handouts, charts, and contract language. A sample discussion outline is presented using the videotape, "One Strike and You're Out," and discussion questions for an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) videotape are included.

It was found that the relationship between (super 226) Ra and (super 232) Th concentrations, in both spatially averaged soil samples and transported sediments, distinguished between two of the most likely source subcatchments. Sedimentary sequences, collected from within the underground system, showed that contemporary deposition was made up of an equal mixture of sediment from these two sources. However, at least three earlier deposition periods were also identifiable, each with different relative contributions from the source catchments. The first appearance of (super 137) Cs in the sedimentary sequence and correlations with historical information provided a chronology for these changes, and it is concluded that the contemporary phase was initiated in the early 1950s, most probably by forestry activities. This work demonstrates that natural radioactivity can be used as a tracer of the origins of sediment, providing an important new approach to problems in sediment supply, transport, and deposition.

Hearing on S. 920 of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session. AN - 62776697; ED363187 AB - The Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources met to consider an amendment to the Higher Education Act of 1965 to improve the delivery of college financial aid by moving from guaranteed students loans to direct loans. Under a system of direct loans, students would borrow directly from the Federal Government by applying through their colleges. Senators who offered opening statements on the proposed legislation were Senators Durenberger, Kassebaum, Pell, Jeffords, Metzenbaum, Hatch, Simon, Dodd, Coats, Wellstone, Gregg, Kennedy, Mikulski, and Thurmond. Proponents of the change noted increased access to loans, budget savings, and system simplification. Opponents cited the difficulty of change, the difficulty of knowing exactly the consequences of a new system, risks to the government, and costs of administration. The Committee also heard from a panel led by Madeleine Kunin, Deputy Secretary of the Department of Education presenting the Administration plan and answering questions on details of the plan. In addition a group of college presidents, university administrators, and students appeared to offer their views on proposed changes. Finally a large number higher education leaders of associations and financial aid groups appeared to offer their testimony on the legislation. Additional materials appended includes articles, publications, reports, and correspondence.
