    Abstract We directly measure the three-dimensional movement of intrinsic point defects driven by applied electric fields inside ZnO nano- and micro-wire metal-semiconductor-metal device structures. Using depth- and spatially resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy (CLS) in situ to map the spatial distributions of local defect densities with increasing applied bias, we drive the reversible conversion of metal-ZnO contacts from rectifying to Ohmic and back. These results demonstrate how defect movements systematically determine Ohmic and Schottky barriers to ZnO nano- and microwires and how they can account for the widely reported instability in nanowire transport. Exceeding a characteristic threshold voltage, in situ CLS reveals a current-induced thermal runaway that drives the radial diffusion of defects toward the nanowire free surface, causing V

    Abstract: The potential carcinogenicity of 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) was evaluated in a National Toxicology Program (NTP) rodent cancer bioassay in Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F1 mice (NTP, 2007; Chan et al., 2008). The NTP concluded that there was "clear evidence of ...

    Abstract The potential carcinogenicity of 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) was evaluated in a National Toxicology Program (NTP) rodent cancer bioassay in Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F1 mice (NTP, 2007; Chan et al., 2008). The NTP concluded that there was "clear evidence of carcinogenic activity" in male and female mice, based on an increased incidence of lung tumors. The "category of evidence" that the NTP assigns to a rodent cancer bioassay outcome can have significant regulatory implications. This is especially important for 4-MEI, which forms in caramel colorings and other foods during cooking, with potential widespread human exposure in a broad spectrum of food and beverage products. A detailed analysis of all NTP mouse-lung-tumor-only carcinogens reveals that the proper call for lung tumors in the 4-MEI study should have been "some evidence" rather than "clear evidence" of carcinogenic activity for both male and female mice in order to be consistent with the NTP's interpretation of other mouse lung carcinogens showing a similar strength of response. Suggestions are given as to measures the NTP should consider in the preparation of some or all future Technical Reports in order to enhance consistency of interpretation of experimental results.

    Abstract Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide worldwide. In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reviewed glyphosate cancer bioassays and human studies and declared that the evidence for carcinogenicity of glyphosate is sufficient in experimental animals. We analyzed 10 glyphosate rodent bioassays, including those in which IARC found evidence of carcinogenicity, using a multiresponse permutation procedure that adjusts for the large number of tumors eligible for statistical testing and provides valid false-positive probabilities. The test statistics for these permutation tests are functions of p values from a standard test for dose-response trend applied to each specific type of tumor. We evaluated 3 permutation tests, using as test statistics the smallest p value from a standard statistical test for dose-response trend and the number of such tests for which the p value is less than or equal to .05 or .01. The false-positive probabilities obtained from 2 implementations of these 3 permutation tests are: smallest p value: .26, .17; p values ≤ .05: .08, .12; and p values ≤ .01: .06, .08. In addition, we found more evidence for negative dose-response trends than positive. Thus, we found no strong evidence that glyphosate is an animal carcinogen. The main cause for the discrepancy between IARC's finding and ours appears to be that IARC did not account for the large number of tumor responses analyzed and the increased likelihood that several of these would show statistical significance simply by chance. This work provides a more comprehensive analysis of the animal carcinogenicity data for this important herbicide than previously available.

    Abstract In a recent Perspective article (Toxicologic Pathology 31: 260-262, 2003) Waddell asserts that he has developed a log linear extrapolation model that can demonstrate a threshold and resolve for once and for all the uncertainies associated with low dose cancer risk extrapolation. However, his method essentially forces, rather than demonstrates, a threshold, and has many serious flaws that result in significant under-estimation of low dose risk. It would be a serious mistake for the scientific community to adopt Waddell's log linear extrapolation model for chemical carcinogenesis risk assessment.

    Abstract The large database of carcinogenicity results generated by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) provides a unique opportunity to critically evaluate important scientific issues such as (1) the frequency of positive outcomes, (2) the interspecies correlation in carcinogenic response between rats and mice, (3) the correlation between body weight and tumor incidence, (4) estimates of the false-positive and false-negative rates, and (5) the frequency of decreasing tumor incidences. Such database evaluations enable us to better understand the value and limitations of rodent carcinogenicity studies for determining human cancer risk. However, as the NTP database becomes increasingly accessible to the general scientific community, there is also increased opportunity for misuse of the database. This article reexamines and updates previous database evaluations, presents four scientific principles that should be employed by anyone attempting to use this database, and illustrates how failure to apply these principles can lead to misleading results.

    Abstract Survival-adjusted methods for the statistical analysis of tumor data from long-term rodent carcinogenicity studies are described. Although most of these methods require knowledge of whether individual tumors are "fatal" or "incidental," such determinations may be difficult. Several methods for dealing with this and with other data analysis issues are discussed. Historical control tumor data may be useful in the interpretation of rodent carcinogenicity studies, particularly for rare tumors and for borderline effects. Although statistical methods are available for using historical control data in a formal testing framework, the primary difficulty is establishing a database that is truly comparable to the study under evaluation with respect to those factors known to influence tumor occurrence. Major sources of variability in tumor incidence include the animal room environment, dietary factors/body weight, gross necropsy and slide preparation procedures, and histopathology diagnosis. The National Toxicology Program's use of historical control data is briefly described and illustrated.
