  • Automation of a low-temperature calorimeter

    Creator:
    Beyer, R. P. (Richard P.)
    Abstract:
    An adiabatic calorimeter operating over the range 5 to 300 K has been automated. Instrumentation includes computer controlled data acquisition, a low-thermal emf multiplexer for switching low-level dc signals, and automatic analog shield controls. Temperature measurements are made with platinum and germanium resistance thermometers, and the thermometer resistances are determined...

  • Influences of environmental acidification on salmonid reproduction

    Creator:
    Weiner, Gary S.
    Abstract:
    Reproduction of salmonid fishes in acidic water was studied using the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). Adult trout were exposed to various levels of hydrogen ion (pH levels 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, and control [6.5 to 7.1]) during the final 6 weeks of reproductive maturation. Reduced survival rates of the progeny of...
