2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3059
To supplement existing Federal drinking-water standards and guidelines, thereby providing a basis for a more comprehensive evaluation of contaminant-occurrence data in a human-health context, USGS began a collaborative project in 1998 with USEPA, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and the Oregon Health & Science University to calculate non-enforceable...

Comment on “Comparison between probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and flood frequency analysis”
Thomas L. Holzer
2005, Eos Science News (86) 303-303
Despite providing an exceptionally clear example of the basics of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), Wang and Ormsbee [2005] nevertheless conclude that “…using PSHA for risk analysis is not only confusing, but is also inappropriate.” I argue here that (1) the results of a PSHA analysis are not confusing and...
Characterization of a C3a receptor in rainbow trout and Xenopus: The first identification of C3a receptors in nonmammalian species
Hani Boshra, Tiehui Wang, Leif Hove-Madsen, John D. Hansen, Jun Li, Anjun Matlapudi, Christopher J. Secombes, Lluis Tort, J. Oriol Sunyer
2005, Journal of Immunology (175) 2427-2437
Virtually nothing is known about the structure, function, and evolutionary origins of the C3aR in nonmammalian species. Because C3aR and C5aR are thought to have arisen from the same common ancestor, the recent characterization of a C5aR in teleost fish implied the presence of a C3aR in this animal group....
