First draft prepared by Dr. W. Gross, Dr. J. Kielhorn and Dr. C. Melber, Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Aerosol Research, Hanover, Germany Published under the joint sponsorship of the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Labour Organisation, and the World Health Organization World Health Orgnization Geneva, 1994 The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) is a joint venture of the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Labour Organisation, and the World Health Organization. The main objective of the IPCS is to carry out and disseminate evaluations of the effects of chemicals on human health and the quality of the environment. Supporting activities include the development of epidemiological, experimental laboratory, and risk-assessment methods that could produce internationally comparable results, and the development of manpower in the field of toxicology. Other activities carried out by the IPCS include the development of know-how for coping with chemical accidents, coordination of laboratory testing and epidemiological studies, and promotion of research on the mechanisms of the biological action of chemicals.

  • An Historical Overview of the Emerson High School Teaching Staff, 1909-1974
    Emerson High School Teaching Staff, 1909-1974 An Historical Overview of the Emerson High School Teaching Staff, 1909-1974 by Kendall Svengalis Class of 1965 As I look back on my years at Emerson (1953-56 and 1959-65, with a 3-year hiatus at the newly opened Aetna Elementary), I have become more fully aware of what a great school it was, and what wonderful, dedicated teachers we had. After all, schools are not buildings, though we had a fine one, but the personalities who give it life and character. As a member of the Class of 1965, I was there at the end of an era that was defined by the presence of a number of teachers who were nearing the end of their careers and who made Emerson a unique place of learning and character development. As I research the biographies of these faculty members, I thought I would share with you some of my findings for which Ancestry.com, the Gary Post Tribune , the Emerson alumni newsletter, Gold to Gray , and conversations with their survivors have been of enormous assistance. My spreadsheet of faculty members on the Emerson65.com web site lists the names and subject specialties of 674 teachers who taught high school, mostly, between the years 1909 and 1974 (the last yearbook in my collection). By the time the original Emerson closed in 1981, the total number of high school faculty who served between 1909 and 1981 probably numbered close to 850 (reflecting an estimated average of about 24 new hires each year between 1974 and 1981).

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

The report looks at an instance of policymaking in each of the issue areas of finance, desegregation, and program improvement -- in this case, State assessment. Since developments in the finance area were extensive and needed to be covered in considerable detail, the report treats that area more fully than it does the others. Background data include the many documents available in the State and related studies done by other scholars. In addition, 39 formal interviews with policy actors were conducted, and a number of other informal interviews were conducted with other informants.
