Using a triad approach in the assessment of hazardous waste site leaching from a superfund site to an adjacent stream

AbstractA triad approach was used in the evaluation of sediment in the Wolf River adjacent to the North Hollywood Dump, a federally listed superfund site. Chemical analyses were done for 18 organochlorine pesticides, 21 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, and 10 metals. Sediment toxicity was evaluated with freshwater invertebrates, Chironomus tentans and Hyalella azteca. Benthic macroinvertebrate diversity and abundance were assessed with a family‐level biotic index. Mean Al, Ba, Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn concentrations were significantly higher in sediments collected in the spring. Both spring and fall sediments exhibited toxicity downstream from, adjacent to, and upstream from the dump, with toxicity significantly higher in fall sediments; however, a consistent trend was not observed. Toxicity was typically greater in the fall, and metal concentrations were typically higher in spring sediments, suggesting that metals were not responsible for the toxicity. Sediment‐associated organochlorine pesticide and PCB congener concentrations were all below detectable limits, suggesting that these potential contaminants are not contributing to the observed toxicity. No differences were found in benthic macroinvertebrate community structure, which was composed of predominantly pollution‐tolerant families, among seasons or river reaches, which appear to be limited by the physical characteristics of the river (e.g., substrate instability, low total organic carbon (<0.6%), and water velocity). Sediments in urban reaches of the Wolf River appear to be degraded; the North Hollywood Dump cannot be isolated as a source of toxicity in this study. In situ testing, sediment toxicity identification and evaluation testing, acid‐volatile sulfide analyses, or artificial substrate work would be appropriate to follow.

MIDI Output Interface to a Parallel Printer Port

MIDI (the Musical Instrument Digital Interface) has become a standard feature on electronic keyboard instruments. MIDI is a serial, current-loop, data transmission network that is a hardware and software standard maintained by the International MIDI Association (11857 Hartsook St., North Hollywood, California 91607 USA; telephone (818) 505-8964). MIDI has been designed to allow detailed control of keyboard instruments by other keyboard instruments or computers. The MIDI standard specifies coding for note-on, note-off, note velocity, key pressure, and other parameters related to musical keyboard playing. MIDI has 16 timedivision multiplexed channels, so that sixteen instruments can be individually accessed from one MIDI network. The 31.25 Kbaud signalling rate allows real-time control of these instruments. MIDI is a bidirectional network. Performance information can be generated by a keyboard instrument to be transcribed in computer memory or in a data file, but the most common application is the external control of an instrument by a sequencer or computer. Scores can be edited on a computer, a MIDI data list can be generated, and a composition can be heard in real time on a group of selected instruments.

From 1925 to 1929 he taught agriculture and science in Los Angeles City schools and also served as a 4-H Club Leader in North Hollywood. At the same time he operated his own poultry ranch, which he continued until 1946. In 1929 he became a member of the University of California Agricultural Extension Service as Assistant Farm Advisor.

Automation of Pattern Discrimination in the Rat

Investigation of visual discriminative processes in animals has been facilitated by the use of automatic equipment and improved techniques of behavioral control. Visual generalization gradients and continuous changes in absolute threshold have been measured with new precision (Guttman, 1956; Blough, 1958). As part of a program evaluating the pathological effects of prenatally administered ionizing radiation (Hicks, D'Amato, & Lowe, 1959), the following schedule was used in determining the capacity for pattern vision. Animals were maintained at 70 to 80% of their free-feeding weight and trained to press either of two transparent plastic pigeon keys (Ralph Gerbrands Co.) with their noses in order to obtain a 45-mg. food pellet (P. J. Noyes Co.). After one or two sessions of continuous reinforcement, the keys were transilluminated one at a time and circuitry was arranged so that 15 responses to an unlit key produced only the time-out condition. To avoid superstitious key responses during the time-out period, the occurrence of all such responses reset the 15-second time-out period. With daily sessions of 2-hr. the animals earned from 110 to 200 pellets and performed the brightness discrimination problem with few errors within one to two days. Then the keys were simultaneously transilluminated with patterns (One-plane digital display unit, Model No. 10219, Industrial Electronic Engineers, North Hollywood), one positive (vertical striations) and one negative (horizontal striations). with the same reinforcement schedule in effect. The left. . right position of the positive stimulus followed a pre-arranged random sequence. Fifteen responses to the negative pattern produced time-out and the same left-right arrangement was presented again on the following trial (a correction procedure). The animal sets its own inter-trial interval by its work rate. Control sessions comprised the same schedule without the key stimuli being differential; a square pattern illuminated both keys. We have demonstrated pattern vision in normal rats and rats with cortexes characteristic of irradiation on the 13, 15, 17, or 19th fetal days, at or better than the 90% correct level in three to nine weeks. The occasional rat will not develop the discrimination under these conditions. We consider the arrangement workable but not
