A detail study of a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) in a Pressurized
Water Reactor was conducted in order to estimate the consequences
of the accident using the computer simulation code EMERALD.
An effort was undertaken to modify the EMERALD code and to make
it operable on the OSU CYBER...
Trace metals in the aquatic environment are generally concentrated
on the surface of solid geochemical phases which eventually become incorporated
into estuarine and marine sediments. The mechanism of trace
metal concentration is believed to be adsorption with various geochemical
phases such as hydrous metal oxides, clays, and organic matter.
Metals...
Starved cells of Ant-300, a psychrophilic marine Vibrio, maintained
binding and transport systems for glutamic acid, arginine, proline, and
leucine. The uptake of these amino acids was inhibited by the uncoupler
2,4-dinitrophenol indicating that an energized membrane was necessary
for binding and was maintined in starved cells. The levels of...
In an exploratory survey of the serviceability of wood in the
marine environment in the Pacific Northwest, pressure-creosoted
piling with tops protected from wetting by the superstructure provided
40 and more years of service and showed little or no indication
of deterioration. The service life of these piling is still...
