Review of: Weight-of-Evidence for Forensic DNA Profiles
Authors: Gill P , Buckleton J 
Published: August 2005

Abstract
For a long time now, David Balding has been considered one of the most gifted mathematicians working in the field of forensic interpretation. His 1994 paper on population subdivision, relatedness and database searching must be one of the top papers of the 90's and led to significant changes in the way that DNA was interpreted in Europe and Australia. This book shows him to be a gifted writer as well.
Review of: Forensic Aspects of Chemical and Biological Terrorism
Authors: Wolf BC 
Published: August 2005

Abstract
The continuing threat of global terrorism has become a reality for western civilization. Although sporadic terrorist attacks against Americans have occurred for decades, events in recent years have highlighted the vulnerability of this country. Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Americans have been acutely aware of the likelihood of further attacks. The possibility of bioterrorism also became a reality in 2001, when five Americans were killed and twelve others became ill due to anthrax apparently received through the U.S. mail system. Although terrorists formerly relied on conventional explosives and weapons, we must now be prepared for chemical and biological weapons. In this comprehensive reference book, Dr. Cyril H. Wecht M.D., J.D., draws upon the expertise of national and international experts from many specialties related to chemical and biological terrorism.

Abstract
A total of 100 EDTA-blood samples were obtained from unrelated individuals of Chinese Han ethnic group in Chengdu of China. DNA was extracted by utilizing the Chelex-100 method as described by Walsh et al. (1). The allelic variation at three STR loci named as D12S2080, D16S2619 and D9S1119 were analyzed by PCR amplification whose respective conditions can be accessed at Nucleotide Database updated by NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), however, their annealing temperatures do not totally amount to those recommended by Database. The details of PCR conditions are described in Table 1. The volume of PCR reaction for each locus was 20 µL containing 2-10 ng DNA, 1 × Taq buffer, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 200 µM each dNTP (Pharmacia Biotech, Sweden), 2.0 U Taq polymerase and 0.3 µM each primer. PCR amplifications were carried out in a GeneAmp PCR System 9600 (Perkin-Elmer).The respective primers of these three loci are described in Table 2.

Published: August 2005

Abstract
EDTA blood samples were collected from 200 unrelated Tunisian healthy adults coming from different regions of the country. All subjects gave their informed consent. DNA was extracted from leucocytes by the standard phenol chloroform technique. Ampli.- cation of the D1S80 was carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the primers described by Kasai et al. (1). Reaction was performed in a total volume of 50 µL containing 200 ng genomic DNA, 10 mM Tris-Hcl (pH 8.3), 50 mM Kcl, 1.5 mM MgC12, 2.5 units of AmplitaqTM polymerase (Perkin Elmer-Cetus USA), 200 µMdNTP and 1µM of each primer. The thermocycling used GeneAmpR PCR System 9700 PE Applied Biosystems. PCR fragments were analysed using a 3% agarose gel electrophoresis (Agarose LE Promega, France); a D1S80 allelic ladder (Perkin Elmer Cetus) was applied on the gel at two-lane intervals to allow correct sizing of the ampli.ed fragments. DNA fragments were visualised by ethidium bromide staining. Statistical analysis was performed using The TFPGA program version 1.3 (2).

This second edition of Dr. Butler's Forensic DNA Typing, the first edition of which appeared in 2001, is more than twice the size of the original—reflecting the astonishing rate at which new information is accumulating in this field. If developments in forensic DNA typing continue at this pace, a hypothetical third edition, appearing around 2009, will be more than 900 pages long.
Data Supporting ASTM Method D 7049-04, for Determination of Metalworking Fluids
Authors: Glaser R , Kurimo R , Neumeister C , Shulman S 
Published: August 2005

Abstract
Data are presented to support a modified ASTM sampling and analytical method—D 7049-04—for metal working fluids (MWFs). The modified method replaces ASTM method PS42-97, a gravimetric procedure that employs a ternary blend of methanol, dichloromethane, and toluene to separate the MWF from cosampled particulate. The revised method is also a gravimetric procedure that employs the ternary blend as well as a binary blend of methanol and water to remove MWF from insoluble particulate collected on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filters. The method has been evaluated at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) by spiking known aliquots of five MWFs—one straight, one soluble, one semisynthetic, and two synthetic—onto PTFE filters, and extracting them after 24 h of storage with the ternary and binary blends. Samples were spiked at the following levels: straight: 230–940 μg; soluble: 260–1130 μg; semisynthetic: 64–260 μg; synthetic I: 110–480 μg; and synthetic II: 90–372 μg. Limits of quantitation, computed from blanks carried through the analysis, were determined to be 73 μg and 80 μg, respectively, for the total-weight and extracted-weight procedures. On average, fractions extracted (weight recovered/weight spiked) for all fluids for all levels tested exceeded 0.94. Pooled estimates of the coefficients of variation of analysis over all samples tested were 0.043 for the total weight samples and 0.046 for the extracted weights. The extraction efficiencies for all five fluids were also tested by analysis of the binary blend extracts for characteristic marker elements in each fluid. Only for the lone ternary blend insoluble fluid were definitive marker element results obtained, with between 60 % (potassium) and 100 % (phosphorus) of two marker elements extracted. The extractability of tobacco smoke particulate and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the PTFE filters is also addressed.
Thermal Control of the Test Liquid in Vibratory Cavitation Erosion Tests
Authors: Meged Y 
Published: August 2005

Abstract
Implosion of vaporous cavities is exothermal, thereby heating the cavitating liquid. In vibratory cavitation erosion (VCE) tests the erosion rate increases with test liquid temperature. In order to obtain the erosive properties of a given material at a given temperature, it is necessary to control the test liquid temperature. The prevailing ASTM standard specifies cooling of the test liquid, and allows a maximal temperature rise of 4°C during the VCE test. However, cooling alone does not ensure the required uniformity of test liquid temperature near the specimen.
In order to obtain a uniform test liquid temperature near the specimen during VCE tests, a thermal control system is recommended. This system consists of three subsystems for cooling, heating, and mixing the test liquid. Correct location of the temperature sensor and operation of the thermal control system improve the thermal control appreciably. This control method was used during 24 VCE tests with water as a test liquid. The average temperature rise in these tests was 1.5°C during the transient stage and 0.2°C during steady state operation.
Three‐bed PVSA process for high‐purity O2 generation from ambient air
Authors: Jee Jeong‐Geun , Lee Sang‐Jin , Kim Min‐Bae , Lee Chang‐Ha 
Published: August 2005

AbstractA three‐bed PVSA (pressure vacuum swing adsorption) process, combining equilibrium separation with kinetic separation, was developed to overcome the 94% O2 purity restriction inherent to air separation in the adsorption process. To produce 97+% and/or 99+% purity O2 directly from air, the PVSA process with two zeolite 10X beds and one CMS bed was executed at 33.44–45.60 to 253.31 kPa. In addition, the effluent gas from the CMS bed to be used for O2 purification was backfilled to the zeolite 10X bed to improve its purity, recovery, and productivity in bulk separation of the air. PVSA I, which made use of a single blowdown/backfill step, produced an O2 product with a purity of 95.4–97.4% and a recovery of 43.4–84.8%, whereas PVSA II, which used two consecutive blowdown/backfill steps, produced O2 with a purity of 98.2–99.2% and a recovery of 47.2–63.6%. Because the primary impurity in the O2 product was Ar, the amounts of N2 contained in the product were in the range of 4000–5000 ppm at PVSA I and several tens of ppm at PVSA II. A nonisothermal dynamic model incorporating mass, energy, and momentum balances was applied to predict the process dynamics. Using the linear driving force (LDF) model with constant diffusivity for the equilibrium separation bed and a modified LDF model with concentration dependency of the diffusion rate for the kinetic separation bed, the dynamic model was able to accurately predict the results of the experiment. © 2005 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2005
Ring chromosome 4 in a patient with early onset type 2 diabetes, deafness, and developmental delay
Authors: Blackett Piers R. , Li Shibo , Mulvihill John J. 
Published: August 2005

AbstractTo date, most ring formations of chromosome 4 lose distal 4p and usually include the Wolf–Hirschhorn syndrome region [WHS]. We describe a case with r(4) in a girl who presented without features of WHS; she had mild developmental delay, deafness, short stature, obesity, and the onset of type 2 diabetes in adolescence, a distinctive phenotype. Although 4p was significantly deleted on Giemsa banding, the 4p junction was distal to the WHS and FGFR3 but proximal to the D4S3360 marker. The 4q breakpoint was close to the telomere. The phenotype appears different from previous patients with 4p‐ or r(4), which have had more extensive 4p deletion. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
DNA pooling analysis of ADHD and genes regulating vesicle release of neurotransmitters
Authors: Brookes K.J. , Knight J. , Xu X. , Asherson P. 
Published: August 2005

AbstractADHD is one of the most prevalent, and heritable behavioural disorders in childhood. Genetic associations have been reported with polymorphic variants within or near to dopamine pathway genes. Recently snap‐25 has also shown association with ADHD in several datasets. We therefore investigated other genes that produce proteins that interact with SNAP‐25 in the mechanism of vesicular release of neurotransmitters at the synapse. A total of 106 SNPs were screened for minor allele frequency greater than 5% and 61 SNPs selected for analysis in DNA pools made up from an ADHD clinical sample of DSM‐IV combined type probands (n = 180) and a control sample of 90 males and 90 females. Initial screening identified several SNPs that showed allele frequency differences of 5% or more. One SNP in the synaptophysin gene showed suggestive evidence of association following case‐control and TDT analysis and warrants further investigation. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Failure to confirm association between RGS4 haplotypes and schizophrenia in Caucasians
Authors: Sobell Janet L. , Richard Christian , Wirshing Donna A. , Heston Leonard L. 
Published: August 2005

AbstractThe regulator of G‐protein signaling (RGS) and RGS‐like proteins are a diverse family of over 30 molecules that function as GTPase activating proteins for Gα subunits of the Gq and Gi families of heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide‐binding proteins (G proteins). By accelerating GTPase activity, RGS proteins drive G proteins into their inactive GDP‐bound forms. G‐protein coupled dopamine, metabotropic glutamate, and other neurotransmitter receptors can be modulated by RGS4, the predominant form in brain. The recent finding of decreased RGS4 mRNA expression in post‐mortem brains from schizophrenic patients, coupled with the map position of RGS4 to a region previously linked to schizophrenia, as well as other biological data, prompted the investigation of the gene as a disease candidate. Multiple family‐based and case‐control association studies have been conducted, with modest and conflicting support for particular single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and SNP marker haplotypes. The present case‐control analysis of 568 patients and 689 controls, one of the largest single studies to date, failed to confirm support for association of particular RGS4 SNP alleles, or for association of any particular four, three, or two SNP haplotype. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Effect of temperature and pH values on aggregation behavior of polymeric surfactants in aqueous solution
Authors: Cao Ya , Li Huilin 
Published: August 2005

AbstractA novel kind of polymeric surfactant based on carboxymethyl cellulose and poly(ethylene oxide) dodecyl ether acrylate (CMC‐AR12EO9) was synthesized through ultrasonic irradiation. Aggregation behavior in aqueous solution at different temperatures and pH values was investigated by dynamic laser scattering and fluorescence probe. The results show that, with the increase of temperature, polymeric surfactants are favorable to form multimolecular micelles with narrower polydispersity of size distribution. At a higher temperature, the multimolecular micelles tend to aggregate bigger sized particles that are unstable and would be disaggregated at higher shear rate. At the elevated pH values, the size of micelles reduces drastically because of strong damage of alkali to aggregates, whereas nonpolar and insoluble domains formed by the hydrophobic blocks of polymeric surfactants are insensitive to pH changes. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fracture behavior and deformation mechanism of polypropylene/ethylene–octene copolymer/magnesium hydroxide ternary phase composites
Authors: Yin Jun , Zhang Yong , Zhang Yinxi 
Published: August 2005

AbstractThe fracture behavior and deformation mechanism of polypropylene (PP)/ethylene–octene copolymer (POE)/magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] ternary composites were investigated. The fracture behavior of the PP/POE/Mg(OH)2 ternary composites was strongly influenced by the POE content. In the case of brittle fracture, the debonding of filler particles dominated the deformation process. Strong shear yielding of the matrix ligaments between microvoids took place after the brittle–ductile transition. The existence of POE could improve the deformability of the PP matrix and change the debonding manner of the filler particles. The fracture behavior of the PP/POE composites was investigated by the single‐edge notch tensile test at 1 mm/s (a low test speed). The introduction of POE led to a decrease in the crack initiation energy and an increase in the crack propagation energy. The improvement in the fracture energy with increasing POE content was dominated by the increase in the crack propagation energy. A morphology analysis of the PP/POE composites demonstrated that a mixture of separation and encapsulation microstructures existed in the matrix. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Transient effects in dynamic modulus measurement of silicone elastomers 1. Zero mean strain measurements
Authors: Warley R. L. , Feke D. L. , Manas‐Zloczower I. 
Published: August 2005

AbstractThe strain‐dependent dynamic storage modulus of a poly(dimethyl‐siloxane‐co‐methylvinyl‐siloxane‐co‐methylphenyl‐siloxane) based silicone elastomer, which is reinforced with fumed silica and crosslinked with peroxide, is investigated. The dependence of the resulting dynamic storage modulus on the duration of cycling at a particular test condition is investigated and compared to static stress relaxation measurements in the same strain range. The dynamic modulus results are shown to depend on the time of cycling at the current test conditions as well as the time of cycling at prior conditions of lower strains. The relaxation is shown to be related to the time of cycling rather than the number of cycles performed. The pattern of behavior of the relaxation of the dynamic modulus with respect to peak strain amplitude is different than that observed in a static stress relaxation test, both of which show significant nonlinear effects in strain. The observed phenomena are interpreted in terms of the role of the polymer phase on the dynamic behavior of the elastomer material. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 98: 1001–1009, 2005
Silane functionalization of perfluoroether oligomers for reaction management and morphology control of two‐phase epoxy networks
Authors: Mascia Leno , Ng Vincent S. Y. , Heath Richard H. , Messori Massimo 
Published: August 2005

AbstractMixtures of an epoxy resin, hardener, and acid functionalized perfluoroether oligomers will readily undergo phase separation during curing. However, the conditions to bring about the growth of nuclei into microscopic particles have hitherto been found only for systems cured with anhydrides. In the present study perfluoroether oligomers were functionalized by established procedures to introduce both carboxylic acid groups and alkoxysilane groups in sites within the chain extended segments. The presence of alkoxysilane groups together with the prereaction step with an excess epoxy resin, prior to the addition of the aromatic amine hardener, induced phase separation by a nucleation‐and‐growth mechanism. The dual functionality in the perfluoroether oligomer was even more beneficial when the alkoxysilane groups were hydrolyzed prior to the addition of the amine hardener. Under such circumstances the precipitation of the perfluoroether oligomer occurred quantitatively, as indicated by the complete absence of any plasticization effects in the epoxy matrix. From electron microscopy examinations, thermal analysis, and measurements of mechanical properties it was possible to deduce a plausible mechanism for the formation of the typical core‐shell aggregates within the precipitated particles for these systems, which could also be applied to other systems, such as those using carboxylic‐acid‐terminated butadiene acrylonitrile oligomers. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ranking the research productivity of library and information science faculty and schools: An evaluation of data sources and research methods
Authors: Meho Lokman I. , Spurgin Kristina M. 
Published: August 2005

AbstractThis study evaluates the data sources and research methods used in earlier studies to rank the research productivity of Library and Information Science (LIS) faculty and schools. In doing so, the study identifies both tools and methods that generate more accurate publication count rankings as well as databases that should be taken into consideration when conducting comprehensive searches in the literature for research and curricular needs. With a list of 2,625 items published between 1982 and 2002 by 68 faculty members of 18 American Library Association– (ALA‐) accredited LIS schools, hundreds of databases were searched. Results show that there are only 10 databases that provide significant coverage of the LIS indexed literature. Results also show that restricting the data sources to one, two, or even three databases leads to inaccurate rankings and erroneous conclusions. Because no database provides comprehensive coverage of the LIS literature, researchers must rely on a wide range of disciplinary and multidisciplinary databases for ranking and other research purposes. The study answers such questions as the following: Is the Association of Library and Information Science Education's (ALISE's) directory of members a reliable tool to identify a complete list of faculty members at LIS schools? How many and which databases are needed in a multifile search to arrive at accurate publication count rankings? What coverage will be achieved using a certain number of databases? Which research areas are well covered by which databases? What alternative methods and tools are available to supplement gaps among databases? Did coverage performance of databases change over time? What counting method should be used when determining what and how many items each LIS faculty and school has published? The authors recommend advanced analysis of research productivity to provide a more detailed assessment of research productivity of authors and programs.
Information behavior in the context of improving patient safety
Authors: MacIntosh‐Murray Anu , Choo Chun Wei 
Published: August 2005

AbstractAlthough it is assumed that information about patient safety and adverse events will be used for improvement and organizational learning, we know little about how this actually happens in patient care settings. This study examines how organizational and professional practices and beliefs related to patient safety influence (1) how health care providers and managers make sense of patient safety risks and adverse events, and (2) the flow and use of information for making improvements. The research is based on an ethnographic case study of a medical unit in a large tertiary care hospital in Canada. The study found that front‐line staff are task driven, coping with heavy workloads that limit their attention to and recognition of potential information needs and knowledge gaps. However, a surrogate in an information‐related role—an “information/change agent”—may intervene successfully with staff and engage in preventive maintenance and repair of routines. The article discusses four key functions of the information/change agent (i.e., boundary spanner, information seeker, knowledge translator, and change champion) in the context of situated practice and learning. All four functions are important for facilitating changes to practice, routines, and the work environment to improve patient safety.
