Plant Residues. The paraquat residues in Cannabis plants at differ-ent times after application and the percent of i C extract with ethyl acetate and methanol are shown in Table I. Combustion of plant material harvested at 29 h showed a significant loss of C (69%) when compared to time 0. The amount of C extracted with methanol also exhibited a decline with time, particularly at 29 h. Vincent et al. (8) have also observed a similar loss of paraquat residues on the same collection of Cannabis, using a residue method based on sodium dithioate reduction of the extracted paraquat, followed by spectrophotometric analysis. Attempts to examine the possible production of labeled products by thin-layer chromatography on cellulose-coated plates with several solvent systems have been unsuccessful to date due to the high ratio of plant material to labeled paraquat in the samples. The plant residues measured in the present study would appear to be consistent with mean values (331 ppm) found in 20 confiscated marihuana samples reported by Turner et al. (9), although there was considerable variation (2-2264 ppm) in the confiscated samples. 

Chain uncoiling, and the converse process of coiling, is conveniently considered as a unimolecular chemical reaction. It is assumed that the rate of uncoiling at any time after application of a stress is proportional to the molecules still coiled. The deformation Dhe(0 at tinie t after application of stress can be shown to be related to the equilibrium deformation Dhe( ) by the equation... 

Severe corrosion can be caused by organic acid fumes such as acetic or formic acids. These can be liberated by new wood, especially oak, and also by varnishes, glues, urea formaldehyde, plastics, fabrics and drying-oil paints, which can liberate fumes for a considerable time after application ... 

The soil analysis is presented in Table II. Small amounts of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T were detected in soil samples receiving these herbicides. Background values from the control soils were subtracted from the observed values in treated soils. The samples were not corrected for recovery since it was better than 80% for the method. Residues decreased with time after application. Leaching and microbial decomposition could account for this observation. 

The DFR values were followed over a period of 4 weeks from the high-volume application. The decrease of DFR in the two zones was monitored in six greenhouses (three times after application of thiophanate-methyl and three times after application of methiocarb). Figure 2 shows typical log-transformed decays of DFR (average of two samples for each zone) for methiocarb and thiophanate-methyl. Assuming a first-order decay, half-lives were calculated using Equations (3) and (4) and were found to be 29 8.5 days and 11 3.4 days for thiophanate-methyl and methiocarb, respectively. 

Increases in phosphorus export from agricultural landscapes have been measured after the application of phosphorus. Phosphorus losses are influenced by the rate, time, and method of phosphorus application, form of fertilizer or manure applied, amount and time of rainfall after application, and land cover. These losses are often small from the standpoint of farmers (generally less than 200 kg P km-2) and represent a minor proportion of fertilizer or manure phosphorus applied (generally less than 5%). Thus, these losses are not of economic importance to farmers in terms of irreplaceable fertility. However, they can contribute to eutrophication of downstream aquatic ecosystems. 

Bayesian methods are very amenable to applying diverse types of information. An example provided during the workshop involved Monte Carlo predictions of pesticide disappearance from a water body based on laboratory-derived rate constants. Field data for a particular time after application was used to adjust or update the priors of the Monte Carlo simulation results for that day. The field data and laboratory data were included in the analysis to produce a posterior estimate of predicted concentrations through time. Bayesian methods also allow subjective weight of evidence and objective evidence to be combined in producing an informed statement of risk. 

This expression, known as Sand s equation, gives the variation of the interfacial concentration of M"+ with time after application of a constant current density. But one seeks also to know the time variation of the potential difference across the interface at which the electronation reaction M"+ + ne — M is occurring. To obtain this information, one recalls that the charge-transfer reaction across the interface is assumed in the present treatment to be virtually in equilibrium and therefore the Nenist equation (7.177) can be used to relate the potential difference to the concentration at the interface. That is, by substituting (7.181) in (7.177),... 

Although Eq. (1) is a simple mathematical relationship, there are numerous limitations to its appropriate application, based on the assumptions one makes about the pharmacokinetic model to which it is applied. In the case where one assumes instantaneous equilibrium of drug between the tissue and the plasma or blood (i.e., a one-compartment model), the concentration in the sampling compartment is, by definition, proportional to the tissue concentration at all times after dosing, and V determined for any At and Ct pair will be constant Since At at time 0 is the dose (D), it is common to express volume of distribution in a one-compartment model as ... 

This compound was synthesized by Dr. Nowacki by reacting 11+C-IAA-imidazole with myo-inositol (40). Application of these labeled compounds to corn kernels, followed immediately by homogenization of the tissue in acetone permitted us to determine the amounts of each constiuent in the kernel by the isotope dilution method of Rittenberg and Foster (41). An extension of this method, whereby the kernels are incubated for varying periods of time after application of the isotopically labeled compound permits determination of the "turnover" of the pool. Such data are shown in... 

In addition to the effects of diflubenzuron on the chitinase and phenoloxidase levels, observed by Ishaaya and Casida (4 6), other biochemical influences of diflubenzuron and Du 19111 have been described in the literature (Table 9) A common feature of all these effects is their analysis one or more days after treatment. As any effects of these benzoyl-phenyl ureas become visible on the living insects only at the time of the next moult, when susceptible larvae die, investigators are prompted to search for defects up to a considerable time after application. In comparison with the very fast inhibition of chitin synthesis discussed above, in our opinion these studies can at the most indicate "secondary" effects. A considerable number of effects of this type can be expected to be found and published in the future. 

Volume is the effectiveness over distance, some time after application. The difference between tenacity and volume often lies at the root of misunderstandings between the perfumer and the client. The perfumer, accustomed to examining fragrances at close range, measures the lasting power of his or her creations by their tenacity the consumer and the marketing manager look for volume. 

Pesticides applied indoors vaporize from treated surfaces (e.g. carpets and baseboards) and can be resuspended into air on particles. Many pesticides are semivolatile (saturation vapor pressures between 10 kPa and 10 kPa at 25 °C) and tend to vaporize from treated indoor surfaces. The rate of volatilization will depend on the vapor pressure of the compound, the formulation (solvent, surfactants, microencapsulation, etc.), the ambient and surface temperatures, indoor air movement and exchange rates (ventilation), the type of surface treated and the elapsed time after application. The vapor pressure data for pure pesticides is frequently available and may be of value for assessing the relative importance... 

Outdoor turf studies are typically conducted in those areas of the country where the product is expected to be used. The highest labeled rate is applied during the time of year that would correspond to local use. Samples from the turf site are obtained prior to and immediately after the pesticide treatment. A typical outdoor study will take many more samples shortly after the application when the pesticide is at its highest concentrations and will thereafter take fewer samples as the study time increases. The samples are taken in time after application to determine how fast the pesticide dissipates after application. However, they additionally measure how well the pesticide transfers from the turf to skin or clothing. 

But how far is one unit of dimensionless distance in real terms That depends on the diffusion coefficient and on time. After 1 ms it is about 1.6 im from the electrode surface, but after 1 s it corresponds to 50 pm. Figure lD(b) shows concentration profiles calculated for the same system, but plotted versus the distance in centimeters Each curve corresponds to a different time after application of the potential pulse, and the evolution of the concentration profile with time is presented. All the information contained in the curves in Fig. lD(b) exists, of course, in the single curve shown in Fig. lD(a). This is both the advantage and the disadvantage of presenting the data in dimensionless form ...
