    Description: The purpose of the project is to improve our understanding about best management practices that can be utilized on diked managed wetlands in Suisun Marsh for reducing the occurrence of low dissolved oxygen (DO) and high methylmercury (MeHg) events associated primarily with fall flood-up practices. Low DO events are of concern because they can lead to undue stress and even mortality of sensitive aquatic organisms. Elevated MeHg levels are of concern because MeHg is a neurotoxin that bio-magnifies up the food chain and can cause deleterious effects to higher trophic level consumers such as piscivorous fish, birds, and mammals (including humans). This study involved two years (2007-2008) of intensive field data collection at two managed wetland sites in northwest Suisun Marsh and their surrounding tidal sloughs, an area with prior documented low DO events. In addition, the study collected limited soils and water quality field data and mapped vegetation for three managed wetland sites in the central interior of Suisun Marsh, for the purpose of examining whether wetlands at other locations exhibit characteristics that could indicate potential for similar concerns. In Year 1 of the study, the objective was to identify the baseline conditions in the managed wetlands and determine which physical management conditions could be modified for Year 2 to reduce low DO and MeHg production issues most effectively. The objective of Year 2 was to evaluate the effectiveness of these modified management actions at reducing production of low DO and elevated MeHg conditions within the managed wetlands and to continue improving understanding of the underlying biogeochemical processes at play. This Final Evaluation Memorandum examined a total of 19 BMPs, 14 involving modified water management operations and the remaining five involving modified soil and vegetation management practices. Some of these BMPs were previously employed and others have not yet been tested. For each BMP this report assesses its efficacy in improving water quality conditions and potential conflicts with wetland management. It makes recommendations for further study (either feasibility assessments or field testing) and whether to consider for future use. Certain previously used BMPs were found to be important contributors to poor water quality conditions and their continued use is not recommended. Some BMPs that could improve water quality conditions appear difficult to implement in regards to compatibility with wetland management; these BMPs require further elaboration and feasibility assessment to determine whether they should be field tested. In practice for any given wetland, there is likely a combination of BMPs that would together have the greatest potential to address the low DO and high MeHg water quality concerns. Consequently, this report makes no sweeping recommendations applicable to large groups of wetlands but instead promotes a careful consideration of factors at each wetland or small groups of wetlands and from that assessment to apply the most effective suite of BMPs.This report also identifies a number of recommended future actions and studies. These recommendations are geared toward improving the process understanding of factors that promote low DO and high MeHg conditions, the extent of these problems in Suisun Marsh, the regulatory basis for the DO standards for a large estuarine marsh, the economics of BMPs, and alternative approaches to BMPs on diked managed wetlands that may address the water quality issues. The most important of these recommendations is that future BMP implementation should be carried out within the context of rigorous scientific evaluation so as to gain the maximum improvement in how to manage these water quality issues in the diked managed wetlands of Suisun Marsh.

    Notes: Abstract Expression of the enzymes galactokinase, thymidine kinase, and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase is occasionally coordinately regulated in human cell lines. We have measured the activities of these three enzymes in extracts of fibroblasts from individuals with hereditary galactokinase deficiency. These cells do not express measurable galactokinase activity. The levels of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase were in the normal range in cells from three galactokinase-deficient individuals. The activity of thymidine kinase in the affected cells was in the normal range for two of the three individuals. The reduced thymidine kinase activity in the third individual reflected the extremely poor growth of the cells in culture. Immortalization of one galactokinase-deficient cell line resulted in loss of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase activity, but the galactokinase and thymidine kinase levels remained unchanged. The data indicate that the loss of galactokinase activity in these individuals is the consequence of an alteration of gene expression which does not involve coordinate silencing with the thymidine kinase and methyltransferase loci.

    Notes: Sterically congested N-(1,1,3,3-tetraalkyl-2-indanylidene)-amines 8-11, N-(cyclopentylidene)anilines 13-17, and two of their salts are described, together with a short synthesis of 2-imino-1,1,3,3-tetramethylindan (5). Some of these imines show rapid (E,Z) equilibration. Positively and negatively charged nitrogen functions (in 6 and 7) cause opposite 1H- and 13C-NMR chemical shift effects along the C = N bond. Chemical shifts are almost equally affected by the lone electron pair and by the imino N-H bond. Substituent-induced chemical shifts (SCS) have been assigned for all syn and anti positions with respect to methyl, phenyl, and 2,6-dimethylphenyl groups at the imino nitrogen atom. The structurally well-defined, rigid imines recommend themselves as new models for the calibration of theoretical approaches to syn/anti-differentiating SCS.

    Notes: Experimental differentiation between pure C=N double bond rotation and nitrogen inversion in N1-arylimines is possible with a single compound (13b) under the proviso of slow rotation about the N-aryl single bond. Labelling by 1H and 13C nuclei at the diastereotopic faces of the C=N moiety as well as of the N-aryl group is the clue to a successful stereodynamic analysis, as performed by variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy of 13b, a sterically congested and chiral model compound. Interpretation of similar measurements on a second model (13d) is less straightforward. The experimental observation of time-averaged Cs symmetry by NMR coalescences is only compatible with a mechanism of (E/Z) stereomutation either by pure inversion at sp2 nitrogen or by a contribution from C=N rotation together with a synchronized (geared) controtation about the N-aryl single bond. However, the latter combination is concluded to be predominantly inversion-like by comparisons with related imines.

    Notes: Although widely used in experimental and industrial situations, genetically engineered plasmids containing the lac promoter from Escherichia coli are subject to catabolite repression when grown in glucose-containing media. Several methods of overcoming this problem have been investigated by studying the expression of the protein A gene from Staphylococcus aureus under the control of the Escherichia coli lac promoter. When glycerol is used as a sole carbon source, the plasmid is unstable and is rapidly lost from the culture. When the bacteria are grown in chemostats under glucose limitation, the plasmid is maintained, even at high dilution rates, and the expression of protein A is similar to that observed when glycerol was used. The balance between metabolic load and protein A expression seems to be maintained by reducing the gene dose to a tolerable level. Depending on the metabolic conditions prevailing in the culture, this is achieved, either by reducing the copy number of the plasmid or in extreme cases by removing the plasmid altogether.

    Notes: Electron impact mass spectra of the trimethylsilyl derivatives of a series of flavonoid aglycones and chalcones are reported. The spectra show prominent ions arising from fragmentation of the trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups. Inter-actions between adjacent TMS groups, and between TMS groups in the 3- or 5-position (6′-position for the chalcones) and the C-ring carbonyl, yield structurally significant ions. Few fragments associated with the retro-Diels-Alder cleavage of the C-ring characteristic of the underivatized compounds, are observed. The TMS derivatives thus provide complementary information for the identification of flavonoid aglycones and chalcones in biological systems.

    Notes: The two 13C NMR methyl signals of the sterically congested 9-benzylidene-1,8-dimethylfluorene (1a) have the surprisingly small separation of only 0.37 ppm; for 9-benzylidene-2,7-dimethylfluorene the corresponding methyl separation is 0.04 ppm. An alternative analysis of 1a with respect to 1,8-dimethylfluorene shows that the perturbing syn-phenyl substituent has caused a downfield ( + 0.47 ppm) 13C shift but an upfield 1H shift ( - 0.97 ppm) of the compressed 1-CH3 group. For further comparisons, NMR assignments were also made for 2,7-dimethylfluorene, 1,8-dimethylfluoren-9-one and 2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-phenylbut-1-ene.

    Notes: 1H and 13C NMR signals were assigned and CH coupling constants (1J, 2J, 3J) determined for a series of α-mono-and α,α-disubstituted (1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-indanylidene)methanes with the following α-substituents: (mesityl)2B, n-propyl, phenyl, tert-butyl-C(=NH), cyano, (tert-butyl)2C(OH), pivaloyl, H2N-CO, PhNH-CO, carboxy, ritro, acetoxy, Me3SiO, Me3Si, PhS, PhSMe+, PhSO, PhSO2, bromo and trimethylstannyl. The 1J couplings with the olefinic proton span the range 124.3-193.7 Hz. Substituent-induced chemical shifts (SCS) of most of the nuclei with respect to the α-unsubstituted olefin obey simple additivity in the α,α-disubstituted compounds and are very similar to the SCS values along the C=N double bond in the isoelectronic (1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-indanylidene)amines within the error limits. The exceptions concern nuclei in the immediate vicinity of the perturbing substituent. A dominant mechanistic contribution of electric field effects appears likely for the more distant aromatic part of the indanylidene moiety. The chemical shifts of two (2,2,5,5-tetramethylcyclopentylidene)methanes are shown to be compatible with the SCS parameters from the indanylidene series.
