2008 Inter-laboratory Comparison Study of a Reference Material for Nutrients in Seawater

Autoclaved natural seawater collected in the North Pacific Ocean was used as a reference material for nutrients in seawater (RMNS) during an inter-laboratory comparison (I/C) study conducted in 2008. This study was a follow-up to previous studies conducted in 2003 and 2006. A set of six samples was distributed to each of 58 laboratories in 15 countries around the globe, and results were returned by 54 of those laboratories (15 countries). The homogeneities of samples used in the 2008 I/C study, based on analyses for three determinants, were improved compared to those of samples used in the 2003 and 2006 I/C studies. Results of these I/C studies indicate that most of the participating laboratories have an analytical technique for nutrients that is sufficient to provide data of high comparability. The differences between reported concentrations from the same laboratories in the 2006 and 2008 I/C studies for the same batch of RMNS indicate that most of the laboratories have been maintaining internal comparability for two years. Thus, with the current high level of performance in the participating laboratories, the use of a common reference material and the adaptation of an internationally accepted nutrient scale system would increase comparability among laboratories worldwide, and the use of a certified reference material would establish traceability. In the 2008 I/C study we observed a problem of non-linearity of the instruments of the participating laboratories similar to that observed among the laboratories in the 2006 I/C study. This problem of non-linearity should be investigated and discussed to improve comparability for the full range of nutrient concentrations. For silicate comparability in particular, we see relatively larger consensus standard deviations than those for nitrate and phosphate

A Study of Pre-Delivery Placement Facilities for the Unmarried Mother Under the Age of Eighteen Years in Area 5. The State of New York, January 1, 1952-December 31, 1952

Illegitimacy is a problem which has been in existence since the institution of marriage laws were promulgated centuries ago. Since then society has placed a stigma upon the unmarried mothers. In pagan Rome the state gave the husband the right to kill his wife as punishment for connubial unfaithfulness. This reflects the Roman respect for authority and law whether civil or moral. Christian society, concerned with the spiritual salvation of the individual, was more merciful in dealing with the problem. The sinner was forgiven but the severity of the sin was recognized. With the Reformation came the growth of religions emphasizing one or another aspect of Christ\u27s teaching, yet drastic penalties by all churches were imposed upon the unmarried mother by curtailing ecclesiastical privileges. The State also curtailed civil privileges and often imposed physical punishment. Such treatment was detrimental as it not only caused physical hardship but also caused humiliation and loss of self respect. The harsh, intolerant treatment toward the unmarried mother and her child is summarized historically by Morlock and Campbell
