    Notes: Abstract In this study, one group of respondents is offered to purchase a safety device to be installed in their cars, while another group is offered a public safety program (improved road quality) which results in the same size risk reduction. In terms of the value of a statistical life, our results are very reasonable. However, the WTP for the private safety device ishigher than the WTP for the public safety measure. Drawing on a model developed by Jones-Lee (1991), we show that some types of altruists may, but need not, be willing to pay more for a private risk reduction than for a uniform risk reduction of the same magnitude. Still, our empirical results are surprising, and further empirical research seems warranted.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une méthode de définition générale de la vulnérabilité des aquifères a été développée à partir du concept hydrogéologique selon lequel un paysage à l'échelle locale peut être représenté par des unités plus larges sur une carte. Pour les pollutions accidentelles, le délai d'intervention est primordial. Les temps de séjour dans la zone saturée ou à une profondeur de 5 m sont classés en 4 catégories de moins d'un jour à plus d'un an. La surface totale de particules nécessaire à la fixation de polluants dans la zone non saturée est utilisée comme un indicateur semi-quantitatif de la vulnérabilitéà long terme. Pour cet indicateur 4 classes sont prises en considération, de moins de 1×106 m2/m2à plus de 25×101 6 m1 2/m1 2. La qualité des surfaces n'est pas prise en compte. Cependant, on estime que l'absence d'un profil de sol intact conduit à un accroissement du degré de vulnérabilité d'une classe. Cette méthodologie a été appliquée à une région au sud de Stockholm (Suède). La carte géologique digitalisée a été utilisée dans un SIG pour délimiter quatre ensembles hydrogéologiques et les classes de vulnérabilité correspondantes. Par rapport à la carte de vulnérabilité existante, basée sur un zonage stratigraphique, les entités hydrogéologiques permettent d'interpréter un site dans son contexte hydrogéologique; l'utilisation d'indicateurs quantitatifs de la vulnérabilité accroît l'utilité de la planification pratique et de la gestion.
    Abstract: Resumen Se desarrolló un método para caracterizar la vulnerabilidad de las aguas subterráneas basado en el concepto de marcos hidrogeológicos, según el cual una zona a pequeña escala se puede representar mediante unidades mayores en un mapa. Para vertidos accidentales, el tiempo disponible para llevar a cabo las acciones de rehabilitación es crucial. Los tiempos de llegada a la zona saturada o a 5 metros de profundidad se clasifican en cuatro intervalos, desde menor de 1 día hasta mayor de 1 año. La superficie total de partículas disponibles para la retención de contaminantes en la zona no saturada se usa como un indicador semicuantitativo de la vulnerabilidad a largo plazo. Este indicador se clasifica en cuatro intervalos, desde menor de 1×106 m2/m2 hasta mayor de 25×106 m2/m2. La calidad de estas superficies no se tiene en cuenta. Sin embargo, la ausencia de un perfil de suelo intacto se estima que resulta en un incremento de la vulnerabilidad correspondiente a un salto a la clase inmediatamente superior. Se llevó a cabo una aplicación de esta metodología en un área al sur de Estocolmo, Suecia. El mapa geológico digital se procesó mediante un GIS para diferenciar cuatro marcos hidrogeológicos y clases de vulnerabilidad. Comparando con un mapa de vulnerabilidad preexistente, basado en zonificación estratigráfica, el método permite que una zona sea interpretada en su contexto hidrogeológico, y el uso de indicadores cuantitativos de vulnerabilidad incrementa la utilidad en la práctica de planificación y gestión.
    Notes: Abstract  A method for general assessment of groundwater vulnerability was developed using the concept of hydrogeological settings by which a small-scale landscape can be represented by larger units on the map. For accidental spills, the time available for remedial actions is crucial. Travel times to the saturated zone or to a depth of 5 m are classified in four intervals, ranging from 〈1 day to 〉 1 yr. Total particle surface available for retention of pollutants in the unsaturated zone is used as a semi-quantitative indicator of vulnerability in a long-term perspective. This indicator is classified into four intervals, ranging from 〈1×106 m2/m2 to 〉25×106 m2/m2. The quality of the surfaces is not assessed. However, the absence of an intact soil profile is estimated to result in an increase in vulnerability by one class. Application of the methodology was demonstrated in an area south of Stockholm, Sweden. The digital geological map was processed using GIS to delineate four defined hydrogeological settings and vulnerability classes. Compared with an existing vulnerability map based on stratigraphic zoning, the hydrogeological settings allow a site to be interpreted in its hydrogeological context, and the use of quantitative vulnerability indicators increase the usefulness in practical planning and management.

    Notes: Abstract Vacuous oral movements (OMs) in rats chronically administered haloperidol (HAL), fluphenazine (FLU), or no drug were studied following injections of one of three doses of either a D1 agonist (SK&F 38393) or a D2 agonist (LY171555). Oral movements were observed via closed-circuit television and simultaneously recorded using a computerized video analysis system which measured the distance between two fluorescent dots painted above and below the rat's mouth. SK&F 38393 induced a dose-dependent increase in tremorous oral movements and repetitive chewing movements in the controls; this effect was more pronounced in rats treated with chronic HAL or FLU, both during chronic neuroleptic treatment and even more so when they were tested after drug withdrawal following 5 or 14 months of chronic neuroleptic administration. Conversely, LY171555 produced an inhibition of oral activity at all dose levels in controls. This inhibition was attenuated during chronic administration of HAL or FLU, but returned to control levels (without any signs of supersensitivity) when the animals were retested shortly after discontinuation of neuroleptics. These results indicate that heightened oral movements in rodents following chronic neuroleptic administration can be more clearly induced by D1 than by D2 receptor activation.

    Notes: Abstract Leu- and Metenkephalin (Lenk and Menk) and their more stable analogues d-Ala-Leu- and d-Ala-Meten-kephalin (DALenk and DAMenk) as well as d-ala-d-Leu-and d-Ala-d-Metenkephalin (DADLenk and DADMenk) were infused bilaterally into substantia nigra in awake rats and oral movements were recorded for 90 min. DADLenk and DADMenk elicited dose-dependent biting dyskinesias with a chewing rate of about 90 jaw movements/min. DALenk produced a similar but weaker effect, whereas DAMenk, Lenk and Menk were ineffective in the doses given. These findings suggest a possible enkephalinergic mechanism underlying neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesias.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of methylazoxymethanol (MAM)-induced brain lesions on vacuous chewing movements (VCM) were examined in rats given chronic haloperidol treatment (0.1 or 1 mg/kg/day) for 18 months. At the end of the experiment striatal, pallidal, and nigral activities of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) were measured. MAM-lesioned rats had an elevated rate of VCMs compared to unlesioned controls. This effect was stable during the whole 18-month experiment. In unlesioned control rats chronic haloperidol produced a gradual increase in VCM rates, but this effect was not further exacerbated in MAM-lesioned animals. After chronic haloperidol treatment with the higher dose (1 mg/kg/day) GAD activity was reduced in substantia nigra (-20%), globus pallidus (-35%), and striatum (-26%) of unlesioned rats. MAM caused a reduction of GAD activity in substantia nigra (-29%) and globus pallidus (-29%). Chronic haloperidol did not influence these effects of MAM-induced lesion. The present results show that a MAM-induced brain lesion, in contrast to cortical ablations, cannot be used to amplify the haloperidol-induced VCM increase or influence the nigral GAD activity in a rat model for tardive dyskinesia.

    Notes: Abstract Wind profile data within the first two kilometres of a coast have been used to study the wind field modification downstream of this surface discontinuity. The land area is generally very flat, having an overall roughness length of 0.04 m. A wind model, suitable for practical applications and inexpensive to run, has been tested against the data and was found to give satisfactory results. Knowing the climatological statistics of wind and stratification, e.g., at the coast, the model may thus be used to estimate, on a climatological basis, how the wind field is modified with distance inland, at least in areas with only minor topography. This type of information is of great importance when locating wind turbines. It is in these cases also important to know the statistics of the internal boundary-layer (IBL) height, as the turbulence intensity may be quite different in and above the IBL, which in turn may influence load and fatigue calculations. Using the wind profile data, the IBL height was clearly discernible in the majority of cases. Having very unstable stratification over land, the IBL height could, however, not be determined from the wind profiles, as the wind in these cases did not decrease inland. This result was also obtained using the wind model. A simple model of the type z IBL = a · x b, was instead tested, and was shown to give reasonable results.

    Notes: Abstract This study reports an attempt to measure the value of an increased survival probability at advanced ages. It turns out that the average willingness to pay for a program which would increase the expected length of life by one year, conditional on having survived to the age of 75 years, is lower than $1,500. The willingness to pay increases with a person's age, but at a low and seemingly constant rate (1–4 percent per year).

    Notes: Abstract To estimate the discount rate for lives saved in the future a number of studies have been carried out on the trade-off between saving lives now and in the future. A telephone survey is administered to about 1,700 individuals to test if the framing of the question affects the estimated trade-off. In one sample the question is framed as saving 100 lives today versus saving x future lives and in one sample the question is framed as saving 100 future lives versus saving y lives today. The result shows that the framing has a major impact on the trade-off.
