  8. Rubric for Abstracts • INTRODUCTION • The introduction succinctly describes and appropriately connects the subject and context/ background to the purpose of the investigation. • METHODS • The methods section succinctly identifies the methods used to study the subject of the investigation OR succinctly identifies the existing procedures, models or programs used. • RESULTS • The results section provides a succinct and specific explanation of what was discovered, accomplished, collected or produced. • CONCLUSION • With results: • The conclusion provides a succinct interpretation of the results and evaluates what the results mean to the investigation, • OR evaluates the relevance or uniqueness of what was accomplished in the immediate context of the project’s purpose, • AND describes how the investigation fits within a larger field. • When results were not obtained: • A conclusion without results succinctly evaluates what the completion of the investigation could mean within a larger field. • LANGUAGE USE & CONVENTIONS • The abstract employs complete sentences, appropriate word choices that exclude jargon, correct grammar and usage, conventional spelling, capitalization and punctuation, and defines all acronyms.

  9. Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusion • Diazinon is a thionophosphate pesticide that, when metabolized into its oxon, competitively inhibits cholinesterases. In order to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) model for the organophosphate insecticide diazinon (DZN) in rats, a quantitative investigation of the pharmacodynamic response associated with acetyl-cholinesterase inhibition in targeted tissues of the body, namely the brain, blood, and diaphragm is needed.Using a spectrophotometric assay, the extent of esterase inhibition following orally administered diazinon in corn oil doses of 100 mg and 50 mg DZN/kg body weight over a 24-hour time course provides insight into the inhibition and recovery of acetyl-and butrylcholinesterases in vivo.When comparing the 50 mg and 100 mg DZN/kg body weight time course of each tissue, little difference was seen between the degree of inhibition and each dose. This was consistent with the plasma, red blood cells (RBCs), brain, and diaphragm. The extent of inhibition followed the pattern of plasma>RBCs>diaphragm>brain. This was expected due to the method of dosing, and anticipated distribution of diazinon determined by blood flow, partitioning, and concentration of cholinesterases in the tissue. This work is a small portion of a much larger project being researched to develop a PBPK/PD model for diazinon in the rat, as well as investigate PBPK/PD model interactions for organophosphate insecticides in rats and humans.

  12. Abstract 2 Dynamic Web Content System STUDENT NAME (Idaho State University, Pocatello, ID 83209), MENTOR NAME (Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Laboratory, Idaho Falls, ID 83415). The Dynamic Web Content System (DWCS) was created for the Geospatial Sciences and Engineering Group (GeoSE) at the Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). The primary purpose for creating the DSCS was to decrease the cost and time involved in website management. The DWCS dynamically generates website content using Microsoft Access, Active Server Pages, HTML, and JavaScript. DWCS features include adding and changing menus, adding and changing images, and managing page text. The DWCS allows the user to modify existing content, add new content, as well as change the look and feel of the web page by editing the website’s Cascading Style Sheets properties. The particular goals of the project included producing an easy-to-use web management tool that does not require the user to possess web programming skills and building the website dynamically every time it is accessed.
