- Nine catfish fillets, three catfish nuggets, two feed samples, and one pond sediment were analyzed for PCDD, PCDF, and-PCB. Farm-raised catfish from Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas contained significant levels of 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD and PCDF. In addition, a large number of non-2,3,7,8-substituted congeners were present in all samples. The catfish fillets and catfish nuggets also contained high concentrations of dioxin-like PCB, as well as a number of non-dioxin-like PCB. The TEQ based on PCDD and PCDF ranged from 9.5 to 43.0 pg/g lipid and the TEQ based on PCB ranged from 0.45 to 4.9 pg/g lipid for all catfish samples. The dioxin-like PCB contributed 4-16% to the total TEQ (PCDD/PCDF/PCB) for the catfish samples. The major source for the PCDD, PCDF, and PCB appears to be from feed and not from pond sediment. Immunoreactive CYP1A protein was elevated 2.5 fold in the pond-raised catfish compared to the aquarium-raised one. The results of this study suggest that the PCDD/PCDF are more important than the PCB in the CYP1A induction.

Microstructural strain analysis by high magnification moiré interferometry

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A high magnification phase-stepping interferometer has been constructed which has a spatial resolution of the order of one micrometers and a sub-mm field of view. Laser illumination is delivered to the microscope head by polarization-preserving single-mode optical fibers. The head itself is a compact unit consisting of collimating optics, objective lens, CCD camera, and a separate white light source. Phase gratings are cast on the polished specimen surface by replication from a master grating, in either silicone rubber or epoxy resin. Subsequent evaporation of a thin layer of gold onto the grating increases the reflectivity and reduces the speckle noise in the images. By switching between the laser illumination and the white light unit, it is possible to view the underlying microstructure in exact registration with the measured displacement fields. The instrument is illustrated with several applications including the visualization of delamination cracks in graphite-epoxy composites and measurement of the strain-to-failure of polymer-bonded-explosives.

- In 1995 asteroid 6489 Golevka (1991 JX) had a close encounter with the Earth at a distance of 0.034 AU, providing a good opportunity for a detailed study of a small Solar System object. In this paper we report the results of an extensive international obs

PCDDs and PCDFs in municipal sewage sludge and effluent from POTW in the State of Mississippi, USA
- 1998

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- During the summer 1995, we collected sewage sludge and effluent samples from 17 publicly-owned treatment works (POTW) in the State of Mississippi, USA. Most PCDDs and PCDFs were detected in the sludge, and the hepta- and octaCDD congeners typically were dominant. One plant had an octaCDD value in sludge exceeding 400,000 pg/g d.m. The primary source probably is pentachlorophenol. An earlier US EPA finding of 116 pg/g d.m. 2,3,7,8-tetraCDD in sludge from the Corinth POTW was not confirmed in this study, where only 0.3 pg/g d.m. was measured. Most effluent samples were below the detection limit of approximately 10 pg/L for the tetra- through hexachlorinated congeners. The New Augusta POTW had the highest octaCDD value in effluent (2500 pg/L). This plant is a point source to the Leaf River.

PCDDs and PCDFs in soil and river sediment samples from a rural area in the United States of America
- 1997

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 1994, we collected 36 soil samples and 61 sediment samples from southern Mississippi, USA. Each sample was analyzed for PCDDs and PCDFs by HRMS using either a polar or a non-polar HRGC column. Although most Cl-4 - Cl-8 PCDDs and PCDFs were detected in each sample, PCDD levels (particularly Cl-7 - Cl-8) were higher in sediment than soil samples. The PCDF pattern in two sediment samples indicated a possible PCB source. The concentrations of 2,3,7,8-tetra CDD and 2,3,7,8-tetra CDF were somewhat higher upstream of a pulp mill than downstream from the mill.
