    Notes: Abstract The control of continuous polluting discharges in the U.K. was placed in a framework of statistically based legislation nearly 10 years ago. Both discharge standards and desired river quality class objectives are assessed within a probabilistic system of pollution control whereby a minimum level of 95 percent compliance with standards has to be achieved. The use of such a statistical framework permits occasional infringements of what would otherwise be fixed standards. This enables the Water Industry to manage river quality without undue risk of prosecution or unnecessary capital expenditure on effluent treatment. The change to a statistically based system has been a slow process carried out in stages: from the introduction of a river quality classification; setting long term river quality objectives; then setting discharge consents to achieve these objectives; and finally monitoring compliance with the consents and objectives. Each of these stages has required the development of the necessary statistical tools for river quality planning and management. Due to the decentralised nature of the currently catchment-based Water Authorities, several different statistical approaches have been adopted. However, if, as is planned for the near future, river quality management is carried out by a national regulatory body, then some rationalisation of current methodologies will have to be undertaken. This paper introduces and examines current U.K. approaches to river quality management and pollution control. Particular emphasis is placed on the statistical modelling techniques used for consent setting and compliance testing. Some of the commonly used techniques are compared and evaluated. A description is presented of work that is underway to develop a framework for the establishment and assessment of intermittent pollution control criteria.

    Notes: Abstract Brown rice of IR36 and IR42 check samples from the 1982 dry and wet season yield trials showed good correlation of milled-rice protein and brown-rice protein (r=0.97**,n=40) with 10% bran-polish removal by an emery abrasive mill. Among selected grain samples of both varieties, 80 to 86% of brown-rice protein was retained in the milled rice with both friction and abrasive mills. Stereological morphometry of 1-µm-thick sections showed that endosperm storage protein decreases in amount with increasing distance from the aleurone layer. A similar protein gradient was found in both average-protein and high-protein samples. Milling removed all of the pericarp, seed coat and nucellus, and virtually all of the aleurone layer and embryo, but removed very little of the nonaleurone endosperm, except from the lateral ridges.
