    Measurement & Monitoring: 22nd Quarterly Literature Update These references have been added to the literature database developed for the Measurement and Monitoring Technologies for the 21st Century (21M2) website. The searchable archive of abstracts is located at http://www.clu-in.org/programs/21m2/litsearch.cfm Accumulation of Organochlorine Pesticides by Semipermeable Membrane Devices Using Composite Complex Liao, Long B. and Xian M. Xiaoa, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou, China. Chemosphere, Vol 64 No 9, p 1592-1600, Aug 2006 Semipermeable membrane devices have been developed for passive in situ monitoring of organochlorine pesticides in aqueous solution. The device consists of a thin film of neutral lipid triolein enclosed in thin-walled tubing made of composite cellulose acetate (CA) membrane supported by linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and is referred to as a CAPE. Test results indicate that the triolein-CAPE (TCAPE) could accumulate hydrophobic pesticides quickly and efficiently in water. In the lab, uptake equilibrium is reached within 20 h. Some mathematical relationships of TCAPE/water partition coefficient, triolein/water partition coefficient, and octanol/water partition coefficient were developed under laboratory conditions. The device was also tested under field conditions, where the average concentration of pesticides in surface water could be estimated by measuring pesticides concentrations in the device.

  • Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents
    Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer.

The book follows the progress of a cohort of 7-year-old children through their schools over a two-year period. It covers schools in the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, the UK, Norway, the Netherlands, and Ireland and:*draw together what it is that the most and least effective schools do in each country*pinpoints what makes 'effective teaching' across the globe*analyses which effectiveness-producing school and teaching factors appear to be the same and which are context specific*discusses how educational policies can be used to generate World Class Schools and which new blends of practice can, or should be usedThe existing literature based upon the comparison of the educational achievements of different countries is inadequate. This unique study provides a rich picture of the processes of the education systems of different countries which will appeal to practitioners and policy makers.

  • The Sandoz Spill: the Failure of International Law to Protect the Rhine from Pollution
    The Sandoz Spill: The Failure of International Law to Protect the Rhine from Pollution Aaron Schwabach* INTRODUCTION The fire at Sandoz Warehouse 956 near Basel, Switzerland, in No- vember 1986 and the subsequent spill of toxic chemicals into the Rhine River had a disastrous impact on the Rhine's ecology. The accident is widely regarded as Western Europe's worst environmental disaster in decades. 1 Two treaties govern pollution resulting from incidents such as the Sandoz accident: the Convention Concerning the International Commis- sion for the Protection of the Rhine Against Pollution 2 and the Conven- tion for the Protection of the Rhine Against Chemical Pollution. 3 As the names of the treaties show, their purpose is to protect the Rhine from pollution. The Sandoz spill, and similar accidents of lesser magnitude, demonstrate that the Rhine has not been protected. Despite a treaty pro- vision for arbitration and possible treaty violations by Switzerland, none of the downstream states sought any remedy against Switzerland under international law for damages caused by the Sandoz spill. This Com- ment discusses the Sandoz accident and its aftermath, explores the rea- sons for the failure of the Rhine treaty regime, and proposes remedies for the inadequacies of the existing treaties. Part I describes the causes and effects of the fire, including the eco- logical and economic damage resulting from the chemical spill, as well as the reactions of the public and the downstream governments to the spill. Part II discusses the principles of international law applicable to trans- boundary river pollution and describes in detail the treaties governing pollution of the Rhine.
