 | The number of environmental laws and regulations have continued to grow in the United States and worldwide, making compliance with these regulations increasingly difficult. Environmental assessments became a way to determine compliance with current environmental regulations. The U.S. Air Force has adopted an environmental compliance program that identifies compliance problems before they are cited as violations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Beginning in 1984, the U.S. Army Construction ... |

 | In 1989, a study of Mariner aquatic herbicide (352-EUP- 146) was conducted on Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticiltata (L.f.) Royle) and Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophytium spicatum L.) in Lake Seminole, Georgia. The primary purpose of this study was to determine dissipation rate of the herbicide's active ingredient, bensulfuron methyl, from water and sediment and to monitor residues in nontarget organisms (clams, crawfish, and rough and game fish). Analysis of these parameters was in ... |

| This report presents the results of field studies which were designed to investigate the variability in periphyton sensitivity to stress. Chlorine and sulfuric acid were experimentally delivered to periphyton communities using chemical-diffusing substrates. Significant variations in chlorine sensitivity among ecosystems were generally not explained by differences in water quality characteristics, but may be related to differences in the inherent tolerance of algal taxa to chlorine exposure. Periphyton community biomass and ... |

| A light addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) was used to detect organophosphate and carbamate anticholinesterases (antiChEs), using eel acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as the biological sensing element. The biotinylated AChE was first pre-incubated with either an inhibitor or buffer alone, then captured on the biotinylated nitrocellulose membrane via streptavidin cross- linking, or the AChE was pre-immobilized on the capture membrane, then a sample containing the antiChE was filtered through the capture membrane.

| The concern over groundwater contamination has risen to the forefront of public concern and media attention. The movement of the carbamate insecticides methomyl (S-methyl N-((methyl-carbamoyl)-oxy)-thioacetimidate) and cabofuran (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranol methylcarbamate) was investigated under steady state flow conditions in a small scale (21.5 cm in length by 2.5 cm i.d.) laboratory soil column. The dynamic flow system (soil column) permitted the simultaneous study of pesticide sorption and degradation during transport through three ... |

| Plant activation is the process by which promutagenic agents are activated into mutagens by plant systems. With the widespread use of agricultural chemicals on crop plants and with the global exposure of plants to pollutants, the possibility exists that plant-activated agents may be introduced into the human food chain. The plant cell/microbe coincubation assay uses cultured plant cell suspensions as the activating system and bacteria or yeast cells as the ... |

|
| The literature on adult rat (Rattus norvegicus) ultrasonic vocalizations was reviewed. Most of these studies examined ultrasounds produced during sexual behavior and during male-male aggressive interactions. During sexual behavior, both the male and female emit a 22-30 kHz, 500-3,000 ms call (the '22-kHz call). This call is particularly characteristic of male vocalizations immediately following ejaculation. Both sexes also produce higher frequency (40-70 kHz), shorter duration calls. The male's postejaculatory 22-kHz ... |

The background and unique nature of the area of toxic torts are examined to determine why traditional rules of causation often bring inequitable results. Models for new causation standards are discussed that propose different rules in an attempt to more accurately meet the realities of claims that do not fit well under the ... |
