TIME.DEPENDENT STRUCTURE & CONTROL OF ARTERIAL BP
INTRODUC'rlON:
Cardiovascular diseases constitute the leadin.g causes of dea-th~ff-~a~ United States: far beyond
the ~number of
deaths due to cancer, Approximately one.half the-cardiovascular, deaths is a consequence of high
blood
pressure (BP) (1).~ Thus, hypertension constitu'tesa significant medical and. social problem. !t is
the subject
of an extensive amount Of basic research devoted to mechanisms as well as clinical trials of
medications
devoted to its control. Although meaningful advances have oc.eurred in understanding the physiology
of BP
regulation by neural, cardiovascular, renal, and hormonal mechanisms, our work is far from complete.
Research into themeehanisms of BP maintenance in health and disease states such as hypertension is
.also
being strongly pursued. On the other hand, the facets and mechanisms 6f BP regulation in relation to
time,
especially in relationship to parahologieal and therapeutic implications, have received comparably
little scientific
attention until recently.
It, has become increasingly evident, especially through the applieation of ambulatory BP monitoring
technology
(2), that BP varies in a time-dependent fashion; the temporal organization of BP variability
.encompasses a
number of factors and mechanisms with specific time courses. Most scientists have focused on
.circadian (24-
hour) and to some extent seasonal components of BP variability. Others have been concerned with
ultradian
components having periodicities of less than 24 hours (4-6). Recently, there has been an
appreciation of the
analogous temporal structure of cardiovascular ~funetions as it relates to temporal patterns in
pathological
cardiovascular events (for review see ref. 7). In this regard, there has been a surge of scientific
interest in.the
field of medical chronobiology as it pertains to cardiovascular disease, including hype~___.m~.on.
Moreover,
there is growing appreciation for the role of circadian and other rhythms on the pharmacokinetics
(chronokinetics) and pharmacodynamics (chronesthesy) of antihypermnsive medications. Intriguingly
enough,
the time course of drug absorption and distribution need not coincide.withthe time course of drug
effects on.
BP (7). This phenomenon, which is referred to chronesthesy, infers that drug effect is not simply a
result of
drug concentration per se: it can be dependent on a set of mechanisms which are also variable in
time and
which-determine therapeutic results. A fascinating newfield of research known as chronopharmacology
(the
study of biological rhythms and medications) has great clinical relevance, considering the
aforementioned
medical and social impacts of hypertension and cardiovascular accidents which all exhibit very
.specific time
patterns.
The investigation of BP regulation and. the underlying mechanisms must include the role of
biological rhythms.
and other temporal factors which are influential. The results of such studies have clinical
implications,
especially in regard to the optimization of therapeutic interventions by timing antihypertensive
medications to
circadian or other biological rhythms .(chronotherapeutics). Complete understanding of the
chronobiologic and
other mechanisms of BP rhythms in essential or secondary hypertension .is still sought. Interest in
the
chronotherapy of hypertension is only in its infant. The conference which is being held. in Ferrara,
Italy
September, 1995 is intended to stimulate multi-disciplinary scientific inquiry into the
ehronobiology .and
chronotherapy of hypertension. ~The proceedings of the New York Academy of Sciences conference,
"Time,
Dependent Structure and Control of Arterial Blood Pressure" is anticipated to have broad appeal
since the
subject matter explores topics of certain interest to both basic and applied scientists -
physiologists,
pharmacologists, clinicians, epidemiologis~, biostatisticians, drug delivery and other
pharmaceutical scientists
plu.~.~egu!at0ry personnel.
CONFERENCE TOPICS AND ISSUES:
Five important topics and issues are to be addressed in depth at during the conference.

• FORMAT OF THE CONFERENCE:
The conferen~ will be divided into five separa~ sessions to cover the above topics. ,Neural
mechanisms of"
BP rhythms will be discussed in Session I instead~of Session II only for practical reasons, i.e, to
leave
adequa~. =ime for be. evening poser sess.ion~s).. A call for abstracts will be issued for this
purpose, and
submission from young investigators new to the field will be encouraged. Prominent scientis~ from
the five
comin~nL~ (7. 0f~26 young and 3 women inves:igamrs) have agreed, m contribute oral presemations and
manuscripts to the proceedings. The proposed agenda of the September, 1993 meeting is appended..The
proceedings and postsrabstracts will be publishcd in a future volume of the Annals of the New. York
Academy
of Sciences distributed worldwide to over 700 institutional libraries and also offered to the
Academy's 35,000

RELATED N~.ETINGS: ......
To our knowledge, during the last
{'1992) and the Sixth .(199~,) Inmrnmional Conference of Chronopharra~ology and Chronothempeudcs
which
took place at the~ Amelia Island Plantation Confer~nce Center, near .lm:~onville, Florida. under
the.auspices
of the Inmmational Society of Chronobioiogy, addressed the chronopharmacology and ~chronoff~empy of
antihyperrensive medications to a limi~d degree. Only marginal consideration .wa.~ given to the
issues of BP
rhythms and their control. The Society for Research on Biological Pdiythrm has also been gathering
in Am*-tia
Island for it~ biannual meeting, in 1992 and 1994, focusing mainly on non-.clinical aspecr.~ of
chronobioto.gy.-
The meetings of the societies of hypermnsion and related fields, do include BP monitoring and/or BP
control:
however-~ the conference we propose is unique in its being focused not .only on BP monitoring and BP
variability, but on the specific matmrs and mechanisms relating to the chronobiology and
ehronotherapeuti:s
of BP and hypertension. In conclusion, no other meeting ,or session held. during the last .three
year5 (or
scheduled for next year) has addressed the conference .topic. Hence, researchers from various
discipiin~s
concerned with BP regulation and hypertension should .find this conference unique~ and of great
scientific
interest.

,The New. York-, Ac.ademy of Sciences
FoundinqT Membership~ and Independence
The Academy, founded in 1817, ~is now in its 1.79th year. It is the third oldest scientific society
in Amedca andone
of New York City's oldest and ._roost endudng cultural institutions. The Academy's mission includes
complimentary
commitments to science and. society through ,leadership in both ideas and in. programs of action. In
service to
science, it will sharpen its efforts to facilitate exchanges among scientists in New York and around
the wodd. In
service to society, it is expanding its activities in public communication, policy-debate, and
science education to
illuminate and improve the quality,timeliness, and reliability of contributions .of science to
global social and economic
progress.- Today, it is an international.organization with over 43,500 members .in more than 150
countries-nearly
fifty percent of whom reside outside the United States. With a balanced annual operating budget of
just under $10
million, and little governmental support, the Academy has an unusual degree of independence.
Plans for the 1990s
In December 1993, the Academy's Board of Governors adopted a strategic plan that builds on and
expands the
Academy's position at the intersection of science, business, education, health care, and government.
In December
1994, the Plans were reviewed and updated with clear priorities and action plans.
Conferences and Publications
Approximately 20-30 scientific conferences are held annually in locations around the wodd. A new
emphasis on
presenting the metropolitan region as a global science .and technology center is resulting in more
conferences, being
scheduled in New York. Conference proceedings are published in the Academy's Annals, which are
among-the
oldest (172 years) and most frequently quoted sources of scientific research, About 30Annals are
distributed each
year to more than 745 libraries and to tho'usands of scientists and engineers worldwide.
Additionally, the Academy
publishes The Sciences, a bi-monthly magazine with a circulation Of almost 75,000. The Sciences has
earned many
national awards for scientific and artistic distinction in presenting scientific information to an
educated lay public. W'~h
a lead grant from the Esther A. and Joseph Klingenstein Fund, the Academy will issue a sedes of
.publications on
science policy issues drawn from meetings .of. its Science, Policy Association.
Science Policy and Economic Development~
Since 1985, the Academy has sponsored a Science Policy Association that brings together leaders of
business,
education, philanthropy, the-professions, policy, makers, government officials, scientists, and
engineers to discuss
policy-related issues at the intersection of science, technology, education, and economic
development.
Scienceand technology serving economic development--in the New York region as well as in national
and global
policy-is a rising pdority of the Academy. Through policy analysis and through outreach, prestige,
and the ability
to convene experts from a vadety of disciplines, the Academy aims to share experiences, problems,
and solutions.
K-12 Science and Math Education
The Academy's programs support science teachers and teaching in the City~s-and the region's-public,
private; and
parochial~ schools. They encourage about 3,000 students and teachers to do science, provide
internships in
corporate,=govemment, and other laboratories, encourage achievement through the Academy's six annual
Science
and Technology Expos for students in grades 5-12, and seek to advance public awareness of science,
technology,
and issues such as infrastructure and competitiveness. The Academy recently published the. first
directory of
professional science and educational development opportunities for science teachers and is looking
=to design and
implement.a new series of initiatives for teachers. Our education priorities are motivation and
presentation of
opportunities and initiatives leading to a more scientifically literate and prepared workforce. We
bring the talents of
scientists, social scientists, and engineers to.the K-12 education process as mentors for students
and teachers, and
as catalysts for improvement and change in science education in the City's public schools~ A Junior
Academy for
high schoo.I students was establishedjn---¢963 and now has about 1 ;000 members.

Science and Engineering Across Disciplines
Differing=from traditional professional organizations, the Academy seeks to function at the
intersection of disciplines
and issues. :Through sections in twenty-four scie.ntlfic and engineering areas, the Academy provides
continuing
education opportunities whereby scientists meet with the leaders in their, and other fields. More
than 180 meetings
of scientists and engineers are held annually atthe Academy's headquarters. Sections on Science
Education., and
on Women in Science, cross all disciplinary boundaries to focus on opportunities and special needs
in these crucial
areas. Section meetings are open to the public without charge;
The Lyceum Club ~
In 1993, the Academy sponsored the foundingof the Lyceum Club, a program for retired .and
semi-retired Academy
members that provides daytime discussion programming and a talent bank of highly skilled individuals
whose services
are available to school, non-profit, for-profit, and government agencies.
Human Rlqhts of Scientists
The Academy has an active program which promotes the human rights of scientists;
physicians;-engineersl= and
educators irrespective of the political or economic policies of the countries in whiohsuch
individuals reside. The
Academy ~was credited by Andrei Sakharov and Fang Lizhi with coordinating the international pressure
that led to..
their reiease.~ Both made their first U.S. appearances at theAcademy. Today, w~th the Committee of
Concerned
Scientists, the Academy is assisting emigree scientists from the former Soviet Union, the Peoples'
Republic of China:
and other countries to adjust to and find positions in the U.S. while simultaneously working on
behalf of scientists
worldwide to ensure the free pursuit of scientific careers and free expression; And we continue to
work on behalf
of scientists such as Vii Mirzayanov of Russia, whose work to eliminate chemical weapons testing has
proved the
role of.the new Russian constitution.
The Gallery of Art and Science ~
In fall, 1994; the Academy formalized its longstanding exhibition program of artand science with the
appointment
of a curator and establishment of an alliance with the State .University of New York at Binghampton.
The opening
exhibition, Madness in America, received an enthusiastic and extensive review in The New York Times.
Programs
change throughout the year; the public is invited without charge.. ~
The New York Academy Of Sciences - orqanization, support, and leadership
The New York Academy of .Sciences is located at Two EastSixty-third Street, New York, New York. Open
to all who.
are interested in science, it-is a non-profit 501(c)(3) supported by membership dues, publication
and .magazine sales,
and from the gifts of corporations, foundations, members, and friends around the wodd, It sponsors a
thriving
Corporate Membership program, and collaborates with corporation, foundations, individuals, and other
organizations
in presenting science-based programs for the public good,
The Academy has a Board of Govemors of distinguishe~! individuals from all sectors. The Board, and
the Academy's
president, chief executive officer, and staff benefit strongly from the President's Council which is
comprised of
individuals, of extraordinary, accomplishment and with broad expertise who are chosen for their
leadership in,fields
important to the Academy's mission. Academy committees draw heavily on leaders from business,
education, and
the non-profit sector, advancing the Academy's work as thecenter where people, ideas, and issues in
science and.
technology-based social and economic development converge.

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation .and Signitieant
Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation ~ ~.:- ~
The accompanying combined.financial statements include the accounts of The New-York
Academy of Sciences and~The American Institute of Science and Technology of the City
of New York (the "Institute") (collectively, the "Academy"), two not-for-profit scientific
arid educationaI organizations that are under common control. Both organizations are
Section 501(c)(3) organizations, exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(a) " "
of the Internal Revenue Code.
Fund Accounting
To ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources avail-
able to the Academy, the accounts of the Academy are maintained in accordance, with the
principles of fund accounting. This is .the procedure.by which resources for various
purposes are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds established
according to their nature and purposes. In the aceompanying.fanancial statements, the
Academy has combined the activities of the following, fund groups:
• Operating funds, which iiaclude unrestricted ~and restricted, resources, represent the
portion of expendable funds that is available for support of the Academy's opera-
tions ..... . .
• Endowment funds represent funds that are subject to restrictions of gift instruments,
requiring in perpetuity that the principal be invested and only the income be used.
Restricted Resources.. : ...... .
Various organizations-and other parties ~.ward grants and mal~e contributions to the
Academy to assist in-defraying expenses in connection with conferences, special projects,
edueationalprograms and other endeavors. Resources restricted by thedonor, grantor or
other outside contributor for particular, operating purposes are deemed to be earned and
reported as revenue when the Academy has incuzred expenditures in compliance with the
specific restrictions, subject to the Academy's revenue.and expense recogrtition policies
related to furore conferences and special projects (see below). Amounts received but not
yet earned are reported as deferred support.

Membership Dues and Subscription Revenue :
Membership privileges include. 'among other things, a subscription to the Academy's
magazine, The Sciences, and the ability to participate in the Academy's ~conferences and
m.eetings and receive certain other publications. The Academy does not allocate its
rfiembership dues among the various membership privileges. .......
Membership dues and subscription revenue are recogaaized as revenue over the respective
membership and subscription periods. Deferred membership dues and deferred subscrip-
tion revenue relate to amounts received that apply to future periods.
In fiscal 1993, the Academy changed its accounting policy to recognize subscription rev-
enue from nonmember subscriptions of The Sciences over the ~ubscription period.-ha
prior years, such revenue was recognized on a.cash basis: The effect of this change is not
material to the accompanying financial statements.
Conferences and Special Projects
Revenue and expenses related to conferences and special projects are recognized upon
completion of the conference or special project.~ • .
Property and Equipment .
Property and equipment are recorded at •cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided
on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lirces of the related assets or, for lease~
hold improvements, the Shorter Of the estimated useful lives or the terms of the related
leases.
Cash Equivalents

The Academy considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three
months or .less to be cash equivalents, Mutual: funds held in the Academy's investment
portfolio are not considered to be cash equivalenrs~ ~

endowment fund balance as of June 30, 1992 to properly include an •endowment pledge~
made in a prior year: As of June 30, 1994 and 1993, interfund borrowings ag~regated
approximately $406,000. The Academy intends to explore various, alternatives to repay
