Stereological estimation of the total volume of MR visible brain lesions in patients with multiple sclerosis

Point counting represents a convenient and efficient technique for estimating the area of transects through multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions on magnetic resonance (MR) images obtained for sections through the brain. When sectioning has been performed according to the Cavalieri method, unbiased estimates of the total volume of MR-visible MS plaques can be obtained with a precision of 3–5% in 5–10 min.     

Long-term measurements of the concentrations of halocarbons in an urban area of Kraków, Poland

The results of the measurements of the concentrations of freons (F-11 and F-113), chloroform (CHCl₃), trichloroethane (CH₃CCl₃) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) in air are presented. The data concern concentration measurements that have been conducted in Krakow since half way through 1997 to the end of 1999. The mean monthly values of these concentrations have been compared with the data from Mace Head, the station situated at a similar longitude as Krakow. It has been concluded that, in the observed period of time, the concentrations of the pollutants in Krakow are higher than in Mace Head. The mean monthly concentrations of F-11 and CCl₄ decrease in Krakow faster than in Mace Head (2.5 and 3.3 times, respectively). The concentrations of CHCl₃ and CH₃CCl₃ decrease at both locations, but the change is greater in Krakow. In Krakow, the observed increase of F-113 is 0.13 ppt/month and has an opposite trend than in the same period at Mace Head.     

HDPE/CB-GP复合材料体系电性质的研究

当HDPE含量46％（质量分数，以下同）、其它添加剂（如抗氧剂、阻燃剂、交联剂和润滑剂等辅助填料）的含量11％，两种导电填料石墨（GP）和碳黑（CB）的总含量为43％时，研究结果表明石墨含量的变化对HDPE/CB-GP复合材料室温电阻率、阴C强度和后NTC强度有显著的影响．HDPE/CB-GP复合材料中GP的含量〈8．6％时，样品的室温电阻率〈30Ω·m，PTC强度〉7、后NTC强度〈1．3；电阻率．温度曲线经过17次冷热循环后重现性好，复合材料具有实际应用价值；GP在复合材料中为层片状结构。     

Occurrence of Lawn Care and Agricultural Pesticides in the Don River and Humber River Watersheds (1998–2002)

Between 1998 and 2002, surface water samples were collected from several sites in the Don River and Humber River watersheds, both tributaries to Lake Ontario, and analyzed for a variety of pesticides, including those used for urban lawn care. Analyses included 152 pesticide active ingredients and eight metabolites. Samples were collected during base flow periods (i.e., dry events) and rainfall events (i.e., wet events). The objectives of the study were to determine which pesticides were detectable, whether there was a difference in the detection frequency between the two watersheds and between upstream and downstream in each river, and whether precipitation influenced the frequency of detection. Eleven pesticides and one metabolite were detected in surface waters of the Don and Humber rivers or their tributaries, with approximately 72% of samples containing at least one pesticide attributable to lawn care use. The pesticides and pesticide metabolite detected in this study included 2,4-D, atrazine, bromacil, carbofuran, chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin, diazinon, dicamba, MECOPROP, metolachlor, metribuzin, and an atrazine metabolite (des-ethyl atrazine). Four pesticides exceeded federal or provincial water quality guidelines/objectives. Diazinon exceeded the provincial water quality objective in 28% of the samples taken. For the three other pesticides (atrazine, carbofuran and chlorpyrifos) exceedance of a water quality criteria occurred in less than 1% of the samples.
