    Notes: Abstract A method is presented which combines environmental indices and estimates of inputs from various land uses to aid in environmental impact assessments. Unweighted pair/group cluster analyses are used to obtain relationships between easily observable environmental indices, such as vegetation types, soils, and geology, based on their mutual recurrence. These relationships are shown by using an ordination technique which shows the nature of complex impacts on a natural system. Results are used to develop anenvironmental effects sequence diagram based on known scientific and engineering principles and observed natural relationships. The diagram may be used in conjunction with land use data to estimate the possible magnitude of impacts on the pre-existing system which may result from such land use. Several examples are developed which quantify inputs from various land uses and which compare them with environmental inputs including point source and non-point source liquid and atmospheric emmissions, land modifications, and resource consumption. Known average values are used and a separate comparison is made in describing the vast differences between the project phases of construction versus longterm operation. A hypothetical environmental impact assessment is given for a small residential development in Chambers County, Texas, U.S. of A.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Mechanismus der Cytoprotektion von Prostaglandin (PG) auf die Magenmucosa ist unbekannt. Anaesthesierte Kaninchen erhielten in der Gruppe (GR) I (n=8) im. Aspirin (ASA) (100 mg/kg als Bolus, 66 mg/kg/h kontinuierlich) in der GR 11 (n=10) NaCI und in der GR III (n=7) zusätzlich zum ASA, PGE I (0,1 μg/kg/min) als Infusion über 120 min. Der Mucosa-Blutfluß (MBF) wurde mit radioaktiven Mikrosphären gemessen. In der GR I fiel der MBF nach 15 min um 72,3+3,8% (+ SEM) und nach 120 min um 73,1+3,8% (p 0,05 gegen % Änderung in GR II und III). Nach 120 min zeigte sich in der GR I 19,8 + 7,6% der Fundusmucosa hämorrhagisch, in der GR 11 6,1 +5,2% und in der GR 1112,0+ 1,4% (p 0,05 gegen GR II und III). Wir schließen, daß der cytoprotektive Effekt des PGE I auf einer Aufhebung der ASA bedingten Mucosaischämie beruht.
    Notes: Summary The mechanism by which prostaglandins (PG) exert their cytoprotective effect on the gastric mucosa is not known. Anesthetized rabbits received in Group (GR) I (n = 8) i.v. aspirin (ASA) (100 mg/kg as bolus, 66 mg/kg/h continuously), in GR II (n=10) NaCl and in Gr III PGE I (0.1 μg/kg/min) as an infusion for 120 min. Mucosal blood flow (MBF) was measured with radioactive microspheres. After 15 min, fundus MBF had decreased in GR I by 72.3+3.8% (+SEM) and after 120 min by 73.1+3.8% (P 0.05 vs % change in GR II and III). After 120 min, 19.8+7.6% of the mucosa had become hemorrhagic in GR I, 6.1+5.2% in GR II and 2.0+1.4% in GR III (P 0.05 vs GR II and III). We conclude that the cytoprotective effect of PGE I may be mediated through prevention of ASA-induced mucosal ischemia.
