BIRD CONTROL METHODS AND DEVICES--COMMENTS OF THE NATIONAL PEST CONTROL ASSOCIATION

It may be useful to review some of the considerations that go into recommendations concerning bird management. Later I will make some comments concerning specific methods and devices being used in or promoted for bird control work regardless of whether or not they are new. Members of the National Pest Control Association provide a variety of services, such as fumigation, termite control and general pest control which includes rodent control. There are eight such categories listed in our roster, but only one member in five provides every service listed. Bird control is a rather recent development and is the newest category of service to be listed in the NPCA roster where it appeared for the first time in 1959. As of September 1, 1966, 45% of our members' offices indicated that they were prepared to offer bird control service. Less than 40% did so in 1964. Why is it that more of our members do not declare themselves as ready to do bird control work? I believe the most common answer you would find is that bird control is not yet sufficiently established that they can provide a service comparable in quality to that which is provided against termites or cockroaches or rats. Our members simply do not want to jeopardize their reputation on methods that are not certain or are too complex. Others recognize the emotional reaction evidenced by much of the population concerning control of birds and do not want to become involved in work that might offend some of their clientele. Still others simply do not agree that birds are their responsibility.

Demographic analysis of Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIH) with the use of survival analysis techniques

Objective. The goal of this study is to characterize the current workforce of CIHs, the lengths of professional practice careers of the past and current CIHs.^ Methods. This is a secondary data analysis of data compiled from all of the nearly 50 annual roster listings of the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) for Certified Industrial Hygienists active in each year since 1960. Survival analysis was performed as a technique to measure the primary outcome of interest. The technique which was involved in this study was the Kaplan-Meier method for estimating the survival function.^ Study subjects: The population to be studied is all Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIHs). A CIH is defined by the ABIH as an individual who has achieved the minimum requirements for education, working experience and through examination, has demonstrated a minimum level of knowledge and competency in the prevention of occupational illnesses. ^ Results. A Cox-proportional hazards model analysis was performed by different start-time cohorts of CIHs. In this model we chose cohort 1 as the reference cohort. The estimated relative risk of the event (defined as retirement, or absent from 5 consecutive years of listing) occurred for CIHs for cohorts 2,3,4,5 relative to cohort 1 is 0.385, 0.214, 0.234, 0.299 relatively. The result show that cohort 2 (CIHs issued from 1970-1980) has the lowest hazard ratio which indicates the lowest retirement rate.^ Conclusion. The manpower of CIHs (still actively practicing up to the end of 2009) increased tremendously starting in 1980 and grew into a plateau in recent decades. This indicates that the supply and demand of the profession may have reached equilibrium. More demographic information and variables are needed to actually predict the future number of CIHs needed. ^

The purified Bacillus subtilis tetracycline efflux protein TetA(L) reconstitutes both tetracycline–cobalt/H+ and Na+(K+)/H+ exchange

Recent work has suggested that the chromosomally encoded TetA(L) transporter of Bacillus subtilis, for which no physiological function had been shown earlier, not only confers resistance to low concentrations of tetracycline but is also a multifunctional antiporter protein that has dominant roles in both Na+- and K+-dependent pH homeostasis and in Na+ resistance during growth at alkaline pH. To rigorously test this hypothesis, TetA(L) has been purified with a hexahistidine tag at its C terminus and reconstituted into proteoliposomes. The TetA(L)–hexahistidine proteoliposomes exhibit high activities of tetracycline–cobalt/H+, Na+/H+, and K+/H+ antiport in an assay in which an outwardly directed proton gradient is artificially imposed and solute uptake is monitored. Tetracycline uptake depends on the presence of cobalt and vice versa, with the cosubstrates being transported in a 1:1 ratio. Evidence for the electrogenicity of both tetracycline–cobalt/H+ and Na+/H+ antiports is presented. K+ and Li+ inhibit Na+ uptake, but there is little cross-inhibition between Na+ and tetracycline–cobalt uptake activities. The results strongly support the conclusion that TetA(L) is a multifunctional antiporter. They expand the roster of such porters to encompass one with a complex organic substrate and monovalent cation substrates that may have distinct binding domains, and provide the first functional reconstitution of a member of the 14-transmembrane segment transporter family.
