Addressing Problems In Evaluating Health-Relevant Programs Through Systematic Planning And Evaluation, Galen E. Cole, Chester L. Pogostin, Bonita J. Westover, Nilka M. Rios
Addressing Problems In Evaluating Health-Relevant Programs Through Systematic Planning And Evaluation, Galen E. Cole, Chester L. Pogostin, Bonita J. Westover, Nilka M. Rios
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors argue that inconsistent terminology is often a hindrance in assessing health program implementation, effectiveness and efficiency. Attending closely to this, they propose a model scheme for conducting such evaluations.

Perceived Risks Of Emfs And Landowner Compensation, Linda J. Orel
Perceived Risks Of Emfs And Landowner Compensation, Linda J. Orel
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Although public concerns about EMFs may eventually prove groundless, they can nevertheless depress the market value of residential property near powerlines. Ms. Orel argues that the scientific truth, as courts increasingly recognize, should play no role in determining whether or how much landowners should recover.
Getting Through The Door: Threshold Procedural Considerations In Right-To-Die Litigation, Sharon F. Dipaolo
Getting Through The Door: Threshold Procedural Considerations In Right-To-Die Litigation, Sharon F. Dipaolo
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Ms. DiPaolo explains how judges may use mootness, ripeness and standing to avoid getting involved in right-to-die cases. She argues that this may interfere with private decision making and be counterproductive.
A Survey Of Residual Cancer Risks Permitted By Health, Safety And Environmental Policy, March Sadowitz, John D. Graham
A Survey Of Residual Cancer Risks Permitted By Health, Safety And Environmental Policy, March Sadowitz, John D. Graham
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors describe permitted U.S. residual cancer risks, focusing on numerical levels specifically and implicitly authorized by statute or regulation. They also discuss potential changes.

The Greening Of Technology Transfer: A Conference Summary, William O. Hennessey
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Hennessey briefly reports on an international conference that explored the relationship between patent and other intellectual property laws and those designed to protect the environment and maintain biodiversity.

Senator Johnston's Proposals For Regulatory Reform: New Cost-Benefit-Risk Analysis Requirements For Epa, Linda-Jo Schierow
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Schierow compares provisions designed to improve the development of regulations and promulgated by Reagan and Clinton Executive Orders with those in the Johnston Amendments.

High-resolution, continuous records of GRAPE wet bulk density (a carbonate proxy) from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 138 provide one the opportunity for a detailed study of eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean carbonate sedimentation during the last 6 m.y. The transect of sites drilled spans both latitude and longitude in the eastern equatorial Pacific from 90° to 110°W and from 5°S to 10°N. Two modes of variability are resolved through the use of Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis. In the presence of large tectonic and climatic boundary condition changes over the last 6 m.y., the dominant mode of spatial variability in carbonate …
Paleoceanography Of The Eastern Equatorial Pacific During The Neogene: Synthesis Of Leg 138 Drilling Results, Nicklas G. Pisias, Larry A. Mayer, Alan C. Mix
Paleoceanography Of The Eastern Equatorial Pacific During The Neogene: Synthesis Of Leg 138 Drilling Results, Nicklas G. Pisias, Larry A. Mayer, Alan C. Mix

The primary objective of Leg 138 was to provide detailed information about the ocean's response to global climate change during the Neogene. Two north-south transects were drilled (95° and 110°W) within the region of equatorial divergence-driven upwelling (and thus high accumulation rates and resolution) and spanning the major equatorial ocean current boundaries (and thus recording a high-amplitude signal of the response of the sediment to climatically and/or tectonically driven changes in ocean circulation). The Neogene is marked by a number of well-known climatic and tectonic events (the closing of the Isthmus of Panama, the onset of North Atlantic Deep Water …

The collection of Leg 138 well-log and shipboard physical-property data, in conjunction with high-resolution seismic profiles, provides an opportunity to understand the paleoceanographic significance of seismic reflectors and to gain insight into the paleoceanographic evolution of the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. A series of eight reflectors or reflector packages were traced between two transects connecting five Leg 138 sites. By generating synthetic seismograms at each of these sites and comparing these to the field records, the origin of these seismic reflectors was determined in terms of physical-property variations and other core measurements. In particular, these reflectors were usually associated with …
