The United States Army Environmental Center (USAEC) tasked Ecology and Environment, Inc. (E & E) to perform two Remedial Investigations IRIs at the Sudbury Training Annex, Maynard, Massachusetts, ...Five assigned Sites were grouped into two RI clusters due to proximity, with one RI conducted for Sites P11 and P13, and one RI conducted for Sites A12, P36, and P37, This report is based on the results of field work E & E conducted from April 1993 through April 1994 at the Annex to evaluate the SiteS and incorporates the results of document searches, interviewS, previous and ongoing environmental assessment efforts, and a review of previous studies produced by agencies of the United States Army and their contractors at the Annex, Volume I of this document presents general information about the Annex, including information on general physical characteristics, historic uses of the Annex while it was government property, previous investigations conducted at the Annex, the type of field work conducted, and the risk assessment approach used for these sites, Volume I also includes a discussion of background levels used in evaluating each site.
On December 19, 1966, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted a resolution dealing with racial discrimination and public policy sponsored by the United Nations Institute for Training and ...Research (UNITAR). The title of this resolution was "Guidelines for a Study of the Effectiveness of Policies and Measures Against Racial Discrimination." This study was to be done in several nations, and the Institute of Race Relations at the University of Denver was assigned by UNITAR the task of research in the U.S. This study will necessitate a monumental undertaking involving conceptualization, theory, and research. The purposes of this book are therefore rather limited and are to be taken as preliminary or exploratory: (1) to develop a theoretical perspective on the nature of discrimination and racial discrimination in particular; (2) to clarify the relationship of racial discrimination to such other concepts as racism, prejudice, and segregation; (3) to summarize the patterns of racial discrimination against black Americans from 1619 to World War II; (4) to attempt to ascertain the extent to change in the patterns of racial discrimination and inequality between World War II and the present; (5) to attempt to ascertain what factors have produced these changes; and, (6) to itemize areas and problems for further research.

When a purified diet was supplemented with 300 ppm lead as the acetate and was fed to weanling rats, significant decreases in feed intake, weight gain, and blood heme were observed. In vitro heme ...synthesis in blood from these lead-treated animals was increased by a single injection of niacin or vitamins C + B
12
; pyridoxine, thiamine, or riboflavin had no effect. Exposure to diet lead concentrations of 50, 150, and 300 ppm produced a significant and graded increase of urinary δ-aminolevufinic acid (ALA) within 18 hours, followed by a gradual decrease. A tenfold dietary excess of niacin provided no significant protection against toxic reactions from lead in terms of in vivo blood heme levels, in vitro heme synthesis, or urinary ALA.
