Carr.] seed orchard were determined by X-ray energy-dispersive spectrometry. The data collected from the resultant spectra were used to assess differences among clones and among ramets of a single clone and to determine the mechanism governing the observed differences. The spectra were shown to be different from each other and were specific to each clone. Results from analyses of variance (ANOVA) indicated that the clonal differences accounted for the majority of variation (77%), while among ramets within clones differences rated second (17%). Broad-sense heritability estimates were highly significant and ranged from 0.46 to 0.95. The multivariate analyses conducted on the data further emphasized the results obtained from ANOVA and a high degree of success (90%) was achieved in classifying seed samples to their source clone. Results support the hypothesis that the elemental uptake and assimilation of minerals of Sitka spruce is under genetic control.

The results suggest that by ensuring that families have water piped into multiple taps in the house, handwashing is substantially increased and that by having access to heated water and showers, bathing of children, too, may be substantially increased. It is concluded that if hygiene practices of farmworkers are to be improved, enforcement of existing State and Federal legislation will have to be improved and amendments to this legislation enacted.

H2O Pub Date Free Form 1986/ Volume 19 Issue 5 Start Page 96; 99+83 Other Pages 96; 99+83 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0166-8439 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract The author briefly describes, in relation to the historical background, how the problem of permeation emerged. The large scale soil contamination discovered in 1980 in Lekkerkerk is pointed out. It was the motive for the Dutch government to start a legislative programme for abatement of soil contamination in the Netherlands. In addition it focussed the attention on the phenomenon of permeation. The author stresses the importance of a fundamental approach to the problem. In striving for a solution of the problem of permeation, the policy has to be focussed not too much on the application of non permeable water pipes but on practising the hygienic principle that waterpipes should not be laid in contaminated soil.

Per cigarette yields were highly variable across smoking conditions due to differences in the total volume of smoke taken for analysis. The results of a simple linear regression analysis indicated that up to 95% of the variation in tar yield per cigarette could be explained by variations in the total volume of smoke produced per cigarette. Per liter yields for tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide were almost constant over the conditions investigated. Since most smokers inhale less than this amount, yields per liter provide a rough estimate of the maximum amount to which a smoker might be exposed. Yields per liter, taken over all 26 conditions, are highly correlated with per cigarette yields under standard conditions. Consequently, values on one scale can be converted to the other, at least for the 10 brands investigated. The average conversion factor for tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide is 2.5 when proceeding from milligrams per king-size cigarette under standard conditions to milligrams per liter. This relationship is true for both vented and nonvented cigarettes when ventilation holes are not blocked.

Pub Date Free Form Volume 2 Issue 5 Start Page 131 Other Pages 45 Notes ID: 9003 Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN Accession Number Language english SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract Smoking addiction is the commonest addiction since last several generations. It is spreading very rapidly in our educational institutions. Therefore, it stimulated us to survey in the year 1977-78 by approaching 1000 educationists in schools, colleges and universities of Multan by involving different parameters, as in Annexure-I. Out of these 625 respondents honoured us with their valuable opinions which are discussed in this article. This highlights different factors conducive to hook up the individual in addiction and suggests preventive measures how to control it. It is difficult for a smoker to quit even though he knows it to be harmful. This is so because many of the ill-effects are subtle, slowly progressive and may take several years before they are of sufficient annoyance to cause him to consider quitting. The other addiction like Hookah, Beedi and Snuff have also been briefly considered. Our findings were compared with other studies particularly in Peshawar. Addiction of snuff and other adulteration with cigarette in Peshawar are more as compared to ours. The socio-economical/cultural and psychological aspects of the study were also considered. The campaign against smoking and other addictions under the cover of legislation was considered the most useful preventive measures against addiction. The epidemiology of the problem hints that smoking addiction is crippling disease causing chronic ill-health socio-economic degeneration. It is contagious in its own way. Smoking addiction has already assumed the shape of epidemic in Pakistan and if not properly combated by the medical profession and other agencies, it may further spread and become serious hazard to public. This article is primarily meant for members of the medical profession to become aware about the magnitude of the danger inherent in smoking, so that all our effort is made to eradicate this vice from our country Descriptors Smoking, Substance-Related Disorders, Socioeconomic Factors, Students Links http://pesquisa.bvsalud.org/ghl/resource/en/emro-9003 Book Title Database GHL; http://www.globalhealthlibrary.net/ Publisher Data Source Authors Malik,Ghulam Q.

He pluged one end of a waterpipe, used a cylindrical lead shot, special black powder and kindled the weapon in front of his chest by a slowmatch. The weapon flew away like a rocket. Unused projectils and powder (found in the flat) and the uninjured pipe allowed to copy the event. Velocity and energy of shot and weapon were determined, also the recoil of the pipe and the highest force of a hand to hold it fast. Experimental investigations and calculations corresponded well to the findings of the case.

Pub Date Free Form 1985/ Volume 25 Issue 2 Start Page 185 Other Pages 193 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0049-6979 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract Simulated H2SO4 rain (pH 3.0, 3.5, 4.0) or control rain (pH 5.6) was applied for 3.5 yr to large lysimeter boxes containing a sulfate-adsorbing forest soil and either red alder (Alnus rubra Bong) or sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) seedlings. After removal of the plants and the litter layer, soil samples were obtained at 15-cm intervals to a total depth of 90 cm. Elevated SO4 concentrations caused by the simulated H2SO4 rain were most pronounced for the top 15 cm, but extended down to 45 cm (maple) or 75 cm (alder). There were no effects on SO4 concentrations at a depth of 75 to 90 cm. This confirmed the existence of a sulfate front between 20 cm and 100 cm, as postulated earlier on the basis of extracted soil solutions. Decreases in Mg and Ca concentrations, base saturation, and soil pH were limited to the uppermost 15 cm and, in most cases, to the pH 3.0 treatment. Concentrations of Mg and Ca for the pH 3.0 treatments were greater than control at a depth of 15 to 30 cm, indicating transport of these cations from the soil surface. Concentrations of Na and K, and cation exchange capacity, were not affected by simulated H2SO4 rain. Elevated concentrations of NO3 and extractable Zn throughout the alder systems indicated (1) either increased rates of symbiotic N-fixation or decreased rates of N immobilization; and (2) mobilization of Zn by all acid rain treatments.

Pub Date Free Form / Volume 31 Issue 4 Start Page 253 Other Pages 267 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0001-6896 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract In the ancient Peru, particularly in the Inca Empire, the review of alcohol use and abuse must be made according to the ethnohistorical and cultural context with special emphasis on ideological and customary aspects. The outstanding research sources of alcohol consume types and characteristics are: a) The examination of chronicles of the Spanish Conquest and related papers on a textual criticism; b) The study of language from its semantic scope; and c) The archaeological and ethnological testimony. The only alcoholic beverage existing in the Inca's times was "chicha", mainly that of corn fermentation which was used under the ceremonial, ritual and convivial modalities. The pathological drinking types are clearly defined in the lexicon of the Pre-Columbian Peru prevailing languages, mainly Quechua. The social control of drinking overindulgence was evident and the repressive and punitive measures were similar to those of the great ancient civilizations. The image conveyed by most of the chroniclers as to alcohol excessive drinking among Inca people belongs to the trauma of Conquest which suppressed the psychopolitical and sociocultural control that supported their universe of values generating all sort of misbehaviors and selfdestructive types of toxic consume.
