- The authors have constructed 7arcsec.5 resolution images of the CS J = 2-1 emission from a 3arcmin.5 section of the Orion molecular ridge using a maximum entropy algorithm to combine Owens Valley Millimeter-Wave Interferometer and Onsala Space Observatory 20 m data. The resulting images include all of the flux and have positional accuracy of 1arcsec-2arcsec on the small-scale features. The observed section of the ridge includes four condensations. The condensations have dimensions from 0.03 to 0.11 pc and virial massses from 30 to 80 M_sun;. Approximately 70% of the total mass within the 3arcmin region is contained in these condensations.

Removal of Heavy Metals in Publicly Owned Treatment Works
- 1987

In: Environmental Progress. ; 6:2, s. 91-98
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Studies were conducted at three activated sludge treatment plants during normal operation. The heavy metals were measured in the influent to each plant, the primary sedimentation effluent where applicable, the discharge after activated sludge treatment and secondary sedimentation, and in one case after a final polishing filter. Both the soluble and the total portions were measured. Beryllium, nickel, and thallium were not found in detectable levels in any of the plant influents. Mercury was found in only trace amounts. The removals of the other metals varied considerably. No consistent conclusions can be made from the data; each metal, soluble or total fraction, and unit treatment operation must be interpreted individually. The only metal in the plant effluents consistently above the recommended limit was arsenic, and this barely above the limit, and the lead content from Fitchburg, despite 83% removal.

Protostellar Condensations within the Orion Ridge

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Aperture synthesis observations of the CS J = 2 to 1 line and 95 GHz continuum emission from a 2 arcmin x 3 arcmin region around IRc2 in the OMC-1 molecular cloud have been obtained at 7.5 arcsec resolution with the Owens Valley Radio Observatory millimeter interferometer. These observations reveal four distinct condensations with the OMC-1 molecular ridge. The condensations lie along the edge of the bright central part of the H II region, M 42, suggesting that they may have been formed as a result of shock compression driven by the H II region. Their masses and densities, M about 50 solar masses and n about 10 to the 6th - 10 to the 7th/cu cm, suggest that the condensations will undergo further massive star formation on a short time scale (about 20,000 yr).
