Long-term segment

Factors 4 and 5 are not negligible. Factor 4 has only an effect on the very long-term segment (longer than 15 years) whereas factor 5 is a kind of curvature factor affecting more the short-term and the long-term ends of the curve. These results illustrate once more that ... 

The long-term segment is explained much more by the first factor, but it is the medium segment with maturities between 1 year and 10 years, which is best explained by the first factor. 

The third factor seems to have a major impact first on the short-term segment and then on the long-term segment when we eliminate the short-term and long-term segments, its percentage of variance explained decreases dramatically. 

The extent of cleanup that is necessary to protect human health and welfare aries with different use ctitegories. Residential development is probably the most sensiti e type of land use because of the long-term and multiple e.xposure routes and because of potential e.xposure to the most sensitive population segments (e.g., children and elderly persons). E.xcavation and removal appears to be the remedial tiction alternative selected at most sites where there is redevelopment. This is because no one can guaratitee tliat a site is stife (i.e., offers zero risk) unless all contaminants are removed. Neitlier a developer nor a municipality can accept responsibility for site safety as long as haznrdous materials remain there. In situ treatment approtiches are seldom iewed is the best option because they are unproven and because 100% detoxification or stabilization caimot be achieved.

A cross-jS spine model was proposed for the fibril structure of human /]2-microglobulin (h/]2m) (Ivanova et al., 2004). h/I2m is a 99-amino acid serum protein with a 7-stranded /(-sandwich fold (Fig. 10A Saper et al, 1991). In patients on long-term kidney dialysis, the protein is deposited as amyloid fibrils in the joints (Floege and Ehlerding, 1996 Koch, 1992). In vitro-formed fibrils of h/)2m give a cross-/] X-ray diffraction pattern (Ivanova et al., 2004 Smith et al., 200S). Several studies have shown that segments of h/]2m form amyloid-like fibrils on their own (Ivanova et al., 2003 Jones et al., 2003 Kozhukh et al, 2002). 

If acceptable washing conditions can be achieved, then processing washed cotton may be a realistic long term method for dealing with the dust standard and for insuring worker safety and health, for at least some segments of the textile Industry. 

Tardive dyskinesia presents itself as involuntary movements that involve the face but sometimes also the extremities or trunk. One has to bear in mind that in a large segment of these patients the symptoms are not reversible and there are estimates that 10-20% of hospitalized psychiatric patients and 40% of the elderly on long-term antipsychotic therapy display some signs of tardive dyskinesia.
