Working groups were organized with specific responsibility to assess the utility and limits of four different methods (or tools) currently used by EPA and industry for evaluating hazards posed by toxic chemicals (1) laboratory toxicity data, (2) microcosm test data, (3) site-specific data, and (4) chemical fate and exposure model results. The Exposure Modeling Committee (3.) report presented an assessment of the current extent of field model testing and recommendations for future testing efforts. 

Mutlicorer. The MC-400 collects four simultaneous cores two of which were analyzed for total metals and 210-lead, respectively. Details of field methods, Hg analyses and 210-lead interpretation can be found elsewhere (Parsons, et al.,... 

The relativistic coupled cluster method starts from the four-component solutions of the Drrac-Fock or Dirac-Fock-Breit equations, and correlates them by the coupled-cluster approach. The Fock-space coupled-cluster method yields atomic transition energies in good agreement (usually better than 0.1 eV) with known experimental values. This is demonstrated here by the electron affinities of group-13 atoms. Properties of superheavy atoms which are not known experimentally can be predicted. Here we show that the rare gas eka-radon (element 118) will have a positive electron affinity. One-, two-, and four-components methods are described and applied to several states of CdH and its ions. Methods for calculating properties other than energy are discussed, and the electric field gradients of Cl, Br, and I, required to extract nuclear quadrupoles from experimental data, are calculated. 

There are many applications of the pattern method of presentation of water-analysis data. Figure 16-3 shows the correlation of the Arbuckle formation through four Kansas counties by comparisons of the patterns of the water from four fields completed in the Arbuckle. Other uses include determination of the source of contamination of fresh water, confirmation of the zone in which a new well is to be completed, and detection of incursion of foreign water into an existing well due to improper cementing of casing or leaks in the casing. 

This paper establishes toxicologically-safe levels for total residues of parathion, azinphosmethyl, methidathion and their oxons on tree foliage and reports these levels in terms of absorbance units as determined by the rapid field method. Safe levels for a new insecticide, chlorthiophos, are also proposed based on preliminary residue data. Chemical structures of the four insecticides mentioned above are shown in figures 1, 2, 3 and 6. 

Using the B3LYP method for reference they compared subsequently the performance of four force-field methods for reproducing the B3LYP results for the dispersion and repulsive contributions to the free energy of solvation for 22 neutral molecules in four solvents. The results, Table 5, show that in most cases the force fields do not perform very well with the MST being an exception. 

This relationship is established by measurement of samples with known amounts of analyte (calibrators). One may distinguish between solutions of pure chemical standards and samples with known amounts of analyte present in the typical matrix that is to be measured (e.g., human serum). The first situation applies typically to a reference measurement procedure, which is not influenced by matrix effects, and the second case corresponds typically to a field method that often is influenced by matrix components and so preferably is calibrated using the relevant matrix. Calibration functions may be linear or curved, and in the case of immunoassays often of a special form (e.g., modeled by the four-parameter logistic curve) This model (logistic in log x) has been used for both radioimmunoassay and enzyme immunoassay techniques and can be written in several forms as shown (Table 14-1). Nonlinear regression analysis is applied to estimate the relationship, or a logit transforma-... 

The four-electrode method with double immersion for conductivity measurements was published by Ohta et al. (1981). It was derived from the four-electrode method used for the measurement of conductivity of the semiconductors originally developed at the Philips laboratories. The schematic drawing of the method s principle is shown in Figure 8.12. The method demands a square orientation of the electrodes. Electrical shifting of the electrodes function by 90 eliminates the deviation of the electrodes position from this geometry. The principle of the method, which is based on the measurement of electrical field distribution in the investigated liquid, is as follows ... 

Four field techniques have been used to estimate the import/export of nutrients between saltmarshes and the adjacent coastal water community budgeting, direct creek studies, flume studies and diffusion chamber studies. The direct tidal creek method is the only one which takes account of the processes in all of the saltmarsh subsystems and hence appears to be the best technique, provided the uncertainties in water discharge are minimised.

Of particular importance in chemistry is the response of a molecular system to an external magnetic field as applied in routinely performed NMR experiments for the identification of compounds, the analysis of reaction mechanisms, and reaction control. Theoretical tools must provide spin-spin coupling constants and shielding tensors in order to calculate quantities, which can be related to experimental data. Needless to say, coupling constants and chemical shifts calculated from shielding tensors can only be obtained from accurate four-component methods for heavy nuclei. The theory of relativistic calculations of magnetic properties has recently been analysed in great detail (Aucar et al. 1999). 

The resistance of structures was measured by a four-contact method simultaneously parallel and perpendicularly to the step edges of vicinal surface in the temperature interval 4.2-300 K. The Hall effect and magnetoresistance were investigated in magnetic fields up to 0.5 T.
