june 1 3 - 1 8 . . . Chelmsford, MA Five-day course on Statistics for Radiological Sciences and Protection. Provides the development and use of fundamental statistical concepts applicable to data reduction and error anal- yses. Concepts and relationships are reinforced by the presenta- tion of applications in the field of radiologicat sciences and protec- tion and through the solutions of many example problems. Concepts and applications presented in the course include: the fundamental statistical concepts of errors, means, variance, and standard deviations of parent and sample populations; permuta- tions and combinations; integral, discrete and differential distribu- tion functions including the binomial, Poisson, and Gaussian dis- tributions; applications of binomial discrete probability function and a general kinetics equation to the estimation of populations of radioactive atoms through sampling and counting experiments; propagation of errors; variance in sample, background, and net counts and in counting rates; optimum distribution of background and sample counting intervals; optimum counting interval for estimation of population of atoms of a short lived radionuclide; minimum detectable activity and lower limit of detection of count- ing systems; chi square and other statistical tests of the operability of counting systems, tests and distributions, fitting functions, and a-priori assumption of population variance; correlation probabil- ity; estimation of parameter values of fitting functions by method of least sqfiares; and X 2 and F test of the goodness of fit. This course has been approved for 8 units of credit toward the continu- ing education requirement for recertification by the American Board of Health Physics. Contact Dr. Kenneth W. Skrable, 6 Ruthellen Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824 (Home phone) (617) 256-828215235 (Business phone) (617) 452-5000, Ext. 2235. Fee $550.00.

june 2 8 - 3 0 . . . Urbana, IL Delayed Neurotoxicity Workshop, sponsored by The University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine and Institute of Envi- ronmental Studies, The University of Missouri - Columbia College of Veterinary Medicine and The American College of Veterinary Toxicologists. The workshop will outline and identify recom- mended procedures for and approaches to studying delayed neuro- toxicants. The mature laying hen will be examined in 3 detailed sessions as the contemporary animal model for delayed neurotoxic- ity testing. A subsequent session will address the appropriate regu- latory use of data generated using this animal. Additional sessions will ad~lress the suitability of the hen for general neurotoxicity testing, provide comparative data for other species, recommend general testing procedures for delayed neurotoxicity studies, out- line areas of present and future relevant research and offer free poster presentations and demonstrations pertaining to delayed neurotoxicity testing. Early submission of potential titles for the Poster/Demonstration session is encouraged. Contact L.G. Hansen, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Illinois, 1101 W. Peabody, Urbana, IL 61801.
