Emerging Infectious Diseases: Consensus on Needed Laboratory Capacity Could Strengthen Surveillance (open access)

Emerging Infectious Diseases: Consensus on Needed Laboratory Capacity Could Strengthen Surveillance

A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the nation's infectious diseases surveillance network, focusing on the: (1) extent to which states conduct public health surveillance and laboratory testing of selected emerging infectious diseases; (2) problems state public health officials face in gathering and using laboratory-related data in the surveillance of emerging infectious diseases; and (3) assistance that the Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides to states for laboratory-related surveillance and the value of this assistance to state officials."

A computer system for access to distributed genome mapping data (open access)

A computer system for access to distributed genome mapping data

Development of a computer system for access to distributed genome mapping data is continuing. This effort is to develop software which accesses multiple databases and retrieves data which contain information useful for accelerating mapping human chromosomes. For example, the molecular sequence databases (GenBank, EMBL Data Library, PIR, SwissProt) which contain data required for the development of oligonucleotides for probing DNA as well as for extracting data for primer pair development for PCR-based methods. It is also to develop software which qualitatively integrates the following mapping data: (1) markers regionally localized using cytogenetic methods, (2) polymorphic markers ordered by genetic linkage analysis, (3) clones ordered by various finger-printing'' methods, (4) fragments ordered by long-range restriction mapping, (5) single genomic fragments or clones that have STSs assigned to them, (6) nucleotide sequences, (7) the associated metadata such as the submitting investigator's name, location, etc; the source organism; the chromosome the element is from; the chromosomal location is whatever detail is available.

Estimating deposition velocity from atmospheric releases of iodine (open access)

Estimating deposition velocity from atmospheric releases of iodine

Deposition velocity is a parameter used in atmospheric transport models to specify the amount an atmospheric constituent transferred from the atmosphere to the surface of the earth. The material may deposit on the surface of soil, water, or vegetation. The deposition may be the result of rainfall or diffusion. A method for the calculation of deposition velocity based upon the decrease in deposition with distance from a point source is presented. The method does not require a knowledge of the time over which the deposition occurs or the concentration of the material in the atmosphere. However, the method does assume the deposition rate is proportional to the air concentration. The sensitivity to errors resulting from certain errors in the measurements and from violation of some of the assumptions of the model underlining the calculations are also to be discussed. The method has been used to estimate the deposition velocity of I-129. Two sets of I-129 deposition data at various distances from the center of SRS were used in the calculations. The results indicate that the deposition velocity is near a value of 0.2 cm/s. This is consistent with the processes that are known to control iodine deposition.

Longitudinal information and radiation damage in EM calorimetry (open access)

Longitudinal information and radiation damage in EM calorimetry

The SCC radiation field is higher than that encountered by previous hadron collider detectors. In particular, the electromagnetic (EM) calorimeter compartment sees the highest radiation dose. Since an EM calorimeter also makes the most precise energy measurement, special care must be lavished on this part of a calorimeter. Previous studies have concentrated on Monte Carlo examinations of 2 longitudinal compartments within the EM which can alleviate radiation damage. Recently, it was realized that a ``shower maximum`` detector, such as exists in CDF, also contains information of the conversion point of an electromagnetic shower. As such, it can potentially be used in a fashion analogous to the longitudinal compartments, although it is not designed to be optimized for this role.

Tritium sample analyses in the Savannah River and associated waterways following the K-reactor release of December 1991 (open access)

Tritium sample analyses in the Savannah River and associated waterways following the K-reactor release of December 1991

An unplanned release of tritiated water occurred at K reactor on SRS between 22-December and 25-December 1991. This water moved down through the effluent canal, Pen Branch, Steel Creek and finally to the Savannah River. Samples were collected in the Savannah River and associated waterways over a period of a month. The Environmental Technology Section (ETS) of the Savannah River Laboratory performed liquid scintillation analyses to monitor the passage of the tritiated water from SRS to the Atlantic Ocean.

Final report for 105-N Basin sediment disposition task, phase 2 -- samples BOMPC8 and BOMPC9

This document is the final report deliverable for Phase 2 analytical work for the 105-N Basin Sediment Disposition Task. On December 23, 1997, ten samples were received at the 222-S Laboratory as follows: two (2) bottles of potable water, six (6) samples for process control testing and two (2) samples for characterization. Analyses were performed in accordance with the Letter of Instruction for Phase 2 Analytical Work for the 105-N Basin Sediment Disposition Task (Logan and Kessner, 1997) (Attachment 7) and 105-N Basin Sediment Disposition Phase-Two Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) (Smith, 1997). The analytical results are included in Table 1. This document provides the values of X/Qs for the onsite and offsite receptors, taking into account the building wake and the atmospheric stability effects. X/Qs values for the potential fire accident were also calculated. In addition, the unit dose were calculated for the mixtures of isotopes.
