Abstract
Aconitum heterophyllum is the source of the Tibetan medicinal drug bong- dkar. All parts of the plant may be used for the treatment of the diseases rim-tshad, mkhris-tshad, and tsha-ba of the small intestine. Bong-dkar is also valued as a useful remedy against snake and scorpion poison. Aconitum heterophyllum grows in the northwestern Himalayas at altitudes of 2000 to 4500 m. Morphological details of the plant and anatomical characteristics of the above-ground parts are given. The main anatomical characteristics are three types of unicellular hairs, unequally sized epidermis cells of the leaf and a sclerenchyma belt in the stem.

Abstract
Forest floor material and soil organic matter may act as both a source and a sink in global CO2 cycles. Thus, the ecosystem processes controlling these pools are central to understanding the transfers of carbon (C) between the atmosphere and terrestrial systems. To examine these ecosystem processes, the effect of stand age on temporal carbon source-sink relationships was examined in 20-year-old, 40-year-old and old-growth stands of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) in the Cascade Mountains of south-central Washington State. Belowground C and nitrogen (N) storage and soil respiration were measured. In addition, nylon mesh bags containing homogenized soils from each site were buried at the respective sites to quantify root ingrowth and potential C sequestration and loss. The sites supporting the 20- and 40-year-old stands had soil C stores reflecting the C contributions from logging residue, coarse woody debris and stumps left after harvest. Because the N-fixer red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) comprised 33% of the 40-year-old stand, this site had significantly greater concentrations and pools of N in the forest floor than sites without red alder. This N-rich site had consistently lower soil CO2 efflux rates during the growing season than the sites supporting the 20-year-old and old-growth stands. Estimated annual soil C efflux was 1367, 883 and 1194 g m-2 for the sites supporting the 20-, 40- and old-growth stands, respectively. These values are higher than previously reported values. Root ingrowth was significantly less in the 40-year-old stand than in the 20-year-old stand, and both young stands showed markedly less fine root growth than the old-growth stand. At the sites supporting the young stands, C and N were lost from the soil bags, whereas there was an increase in C and N in the soil bags at the site supporting the old-growth stand. The fine root growth and soil respiration data support the hypothesis that belowground C allocation decreases with increasing fertility. Quantification of the source-sink relationship of soil C at the three stands based on litterfall, relative root ingrowth and soil respiration measurements was compromised because of significant CO2 flux from decaying organic matter in the young stands.

Abstract
Bioaccumulation of indium (In) and dysprosium (Dy) by the roots of red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) was tested in a small free-flowing stream in Oregon. Mixed solutions of the two elements, In and Dy, were continuously introduced into the stream water as non-radioactive tracers for 1.8 hr and 2.1 hr in two separate experiments. In the first experiment, the two elements were added in a non-chelated form; in the second expreiment, upstream from the first, indium-DTPA [(carboxymethylimino)bis(ethylene-dinitrilo) tetraacetic acid pentasodium salt] and dysprosium-DTPA were used as tracers. Instrumental neutron activation analysis was used to determine the quantity of each stable tracer sorbed to the alder roots and the amount remaining in the stream water. Non-chelated In was sorbed by roots up to a concentration of 1.7 μg In/g of root (dry wt), whereas the In-DTPA sorption rate was higher by a factor of approximately 2. Non-chelated Dy was sorbed by roots up to a concentration of 29 μg Dy/g of root (dry wt), while the sorption of Dy-DTPA was less by a factor of 8.

Abstract
In 2008, Iraq's parliament ratified the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC), which obligates participants to establish tobacco use monitoring, surveillance, and evaluation systems. Lack of data on adolescent tobacco use in Iraq led the Ministry of Health (MOH) to conduct the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) in Baghdad in 2008. GYTS is a school-based survey of students aged 13--15 years that is self-administered in classes in selected schools. As in most Middle East countries, tobacco use in Iraq takes the form of cigarettes and shisha. Based on GYTS results, 7.4% of students aged 13--15 years reported having ever smoked cigarettes, 12.9% had ever smoked shisha, 3.2% currently smoked cigarettes, and 6.3% currently smoked shisha. Among never smokers aged 13--15 years, 13.0% reported they were likely to initiate cigarette smoking in the next year. Future declines in adolescent tobacco use in Iraq (and Baghdad) could be enhanced by expanding existing tobacco control programs to include prevention and cessation of the use of cigarettes and shisha, implementing measures that discourage adolescents who have never smoked from initiating tobacco use, expanding legislation to ban exposure to secondhand smoke in all indoor workplaces, and enacting legislation banning pro-tobacco advertising and sponsorship.

Abstract
This paper briefly details the use of Mono Line, a high density polyethylene waste water pipe, for the new industrial waste line at Milwaukee Railroad's St. Paul, Minn. shops. Mono Line is an engineered pipe with a wall thickness based on internal operating pressures and pipe size. It is a pipe designed for direct burial; a high degree of resistance to chemicals makes it ideal for carrying effluents, waste and sewage. It was particularly suitable for the St. Paul yards installation, since leaching action through the cinder fill set up corrosive sulfuric acid conditions destructive to ordinary pipe material.

Abstract
Lead has been used by man since earliest historical times. Its present day applications include batteries, roofing, water pipes and radioactive shielding. Lead compounds are used in the paint industry, as additives to gasoline, in the glass industry, in type making and in pesticides. Lead can also be released in the atmosphere through natural means, such as forest fires and volcanic activity. Ten times as much lead arrives in the atmosphere from human activities, and the greatest part originates with the burning of gasoline. Lead exists in the atmosphere in particles. The concept of the Mass Equivalent Diameter (MED) used in measuring these particles is described as the fictitious diameter which is equivalent to the diameter of a pure spherical particle of a mass with the same falling speed as the particle in question. Mobility of these particles in exhaust gases is discussed. Lifetime in the atmosphere is also important, and appears to range from 20 to 40 days. Lead is also released into the soil and waters, and its concentration has increased sharply since World War II as a result of increased gasoline consumption on a world scale.
