This is the weekly e-Newsletter called “The OCBI Tipping Point.” We hope that you find it very informative as we explore all possibilities to keep our constituency and the general public informed about all matters that affect Blacks in the state of Iowa.

This study aims to provide a passive sampling approach which can be routinely used to investigate polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) sources in rivers. The approach consists of deploying low density polyethylene (LDPE) strips downstream and upstream of potential PCB sources as well as in their water discharges. Concentrations of indicator PCBs (iPCBs) absorbed in samplers (Cs) from upstream and downstream sites are compared with each other to reveal increases of PCB levels. Cs measured in water discharges are used to determine if released amounts of PCBs are compatible with increases revealed in the river. As water velocity can greatly vary along a river stretch and influences the uptake at each site in a different way, differences in velocity have to be taken into account to correctly interpret Cs. LDPE strips were exposed to velocities between 1.6 and 37 cm s−1 using a channel system built in the field. Relationships between velocity and Cs were established for each iPCB to determine the expected change in Cs due to velocity variations. For PCBs 28 and 52, this change does not exceed a factor 2 for velocity variations in the range from 1.6 to 100 cm s−1 (extrapolated data above 37 cm s−1). For PCBs 101, 138, 153 and 180, this change only exceeds a factor 2 in the case of large velocity variations. The approach was applied in the Swiss river Venoge to first conduct a primary investigation of potential PCB sources and then conduct thorough investigations of two suspected sources.

Suite à la découverte du génome, les patients peuvent bénéficier aujourd'hui, d'une approche préventive, prédictive, voire personnalisée de leur prise en charge. Si la médecine personnalisée devient courante, la « généralisation» de l'information génétique nous amènera probablement à établir de nouveaux standards sociaux et éthiques, car si celle-ci permet une plus grande efficacité dans les soins en aidant à la prise de décision, elle apporte une connaissance inédite de l'homme en terme de risque et de susceptibilité face à la maladie, mais aussi des informations propres à l'individu pouvant mener à la discrimination. Sommes- nous prêts à gérer cette information ? Dans ce travail, nous allons nous intéresser au traitement de l'information lors des tests génétiques en recherche. L'hypothèse de travail étant que l'information génétique est une nouvelle donnée biologique individuelle dont il faut tenir compte dans la prise en charge des participants à la recherche. Pour entamer la réflexion, une revue de la littérature a permis de mettre en évidence les spécificités de la recherche en génétique. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons effectué une analyse comparative des feuilles d'information et des formulaires de consentement destinés aux participants à dix-sept protocoles de recherches impliquant des tests génétiques au CHUV à Lausanne en Suisse. Cette analyse a permis de faire un état des lieux des pratiques actuelles dans la région et elle est le point de départ d'une mise en perspective des enjeux éthiques liés la question. Les résultats montrent des inégalités entre les différentes feuilles d'information et formulaires de consentement de notre échantillon lausannois en ce qui concerne la restitution des résultats, la confidentialité des données ou encore la possibilité de participer à de futures recherches. Nous en concluons qu'il serait intéressant de travailler à une standardisation de ces documents et une éducation plus large à ce sujet.

Pd1-xInx thin films (0.4 < x < 0.56) were prepared by radio frequency sputtering from a multi-zone target. The properties of these Hume-Rothery alloys were studied by X-ray diffractometry, electron probe microanalysis and scanning tunneling microscopy. The diffraction spectra were analyzed to obtain the intensity ratio of the (100) superlattice line to the (200) normal line, together with the variations of the lattice constant. The results ape explained quantitatively by a model based on point defects, i.e. Pd vacancies in In-rich films and Pd antisite atoms in Pd-rich films. In-rich films grow preferentially in the [100] direction while Pd-rich films grow preferentially in the [110] direction. The grains in indium-rich sputtered films appear to be enclosed in an atomically thick, indium-rich layer. The role of texture and the influence of point defects on electrical resistivity is also reported. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Limited.
