Levels of ⁶⁵Zn in water, sediments, plants, and animals in
Alder Slough, a small ecosystem in the Columbia River Estuary,
were determined periodically during a one year period. Concentrations
of total Zn in organisms were also measured to permit
computation of specific activities (μCi⁶⁵Zn/g total Zn). Temporal
fluctuations in the...
Since the development of the activated sludge process in 1913
many attempts have been made to improve it. One approach has been
to increase the oxygen available to the bio-mass. This study combined the use of elevated pressure and high-shear mixing to increase
the oxygen transfer.
The conventional method of...
Statistical data from breeding experiments suggested that a
reciprocal chromosomal translocation had spontaneously occurred in
a line of S. C. White Leghorn fowl. Approximately 50% of the
embryos from matings between suspected translocation heterozygotes
and normal birds died early during incubation. In an effort
to obtain cytological proof of this...
