1 DR. KRAEUTER: Back on page five, item "A"--the first one we did. 



2 DR. MILLER: Turn that into a question. Do you want to restate 



3 that as a question? 



4 DR. TEAL: All of them. 



5 DR. MACIOLEK: Yes. 



6 MR. VILD: Is "fines" an acceptable word, or is that some 



7 colloquialism that one would change? 



8 DR. VALENTINE: We could say "silt and clay." 



9 MR. VILD: Well, what about just "fine-grained 



10 sediment?"--"fines," you know. 



11 DR. VALENTINE: All right. 



12 DR. GRASSLE: Just as an example, for the rapporteurs, let's state 



13 the question in little "a" on page 5. 



14 DR. BOTHNER: This is a suggestion, because fines are what 



15 actually was found on the Boston Harbor clean-up. 



16 DR. GRASSLE: Now, little "a"--the question for little "a." 



17 DR. TEAL: In all of those cases, does the evidence from the flow 



18 regime-- 



19 DR. GRASSLE:--and calculations? 



20 DR. TEAL: You do not have to say "and calculations." 



21 Calculations based on the measured flows support this conclusion? Yes. 



22 DR. GRASSLE: It is not a conclusion--it is a question. 



23 DR. TEAL: What answer do they give? "Yes" or "no?" 



24 DR. GRASSLE: Just as a guideline, let's just state a question 



25 once, so that it is easier for her. 



26 DR. TEAL: Do the calculations based on--oh, I see. You would 



27 make it as a statement, then? The calculations based-- 



28 DR. VALENTINE: Why don't you say--can't you say, "Do particles 



29 enter canyons from the shelf based on--" and then list "A," "B," "C," 



30 "D." 



31 DR. TEAL: Yes, you could do it that way. That's good. 



32 DR. GRASSLE: I think we are going to run into trouble with that. 



33 DR. TEAL: I think we can deal with it. I mean, you can try a 



34 couple of ways to look at it and see what makes sense.
