Skin Deep: An Assessment of New Zealand Blue Whale Skin Condition

Creator:

Barlow, Dawn R., Pepper, Acacia L., and Torres, Leigh G.

Abstract:

Skin condition assessment of wildlife can provide insight into individual and population health. Yet, logistics can limit skin condition assessment of large whales. We developed a standardized, quantitative protocol using photographs to assess skin condition of blue whales in New Zealand, and demonstrate the value gained by testing hypotheses, documenting...

High-resolution infrared studies of perdeutero-spiropentane, C₅D₈

Creator:

Erickson, Blake Alexander, Ju, X., Nibler, Joesph W., Beaudry, C. M., and Blake, T. A.

Abstract:

Perdeutero-spiropentane (C₅D₈) has been synthesized and infrared and Raman spectra are reported for the first time. Wavenumber assignments are made for most of the fundamental vibrational modes. Gas phase infrared spectra were recorded at a resolution (0.002 cm⁻¹) sufficient to resolve individual rovibrational lines and show evidence of strong Coriolis...

Trace element concentration in tree-rings biomonitoring centuries of environmental change

Creator:

Padilla, Kimberly L. and Anderson, Kim A.

Abstract:

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to examine trace element concentration in treerings over three and half centuries to assess macro-trends of environmental change. Tree-rings of a 350+ year old mammoth ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) were analyzed for element concentration and evaluated versus local and global historical events....
