David R. Young and Tsu-Kai Jan METALS IN SCALLOPS
نویسنده
چکیده
Los Angeles County's submarine discharge of municipal wastewater off the Palos Verdes Peninsula is the single largest man-related source of trace metals to the marine ecosystem off southern California. The 1974 annual mass emission rates of chromium, copper, and zinc via this discharge were approximately 400, 300, and 850 metric tons, respectively (roughly ten times the corresponding inputs measured in 1971-72 surface runoff from southern California). As a result, bottom sediments around this submarine outfall system are highly contaminated by a number of trace metals. Here we report abnormal levels of seven metals in three tissues of filter-feeding rock scallops (Hinites multirugosus) that were collected in the discharge zone and thus had been exposed to suspended wastewater particulates. (The adductor muscle of this bivalve mollusc is considered to be a delicacy, and the scallops near the discharge area sought by sport divers.)

متن کاملA note on the Young type inequalities
In this paper, we present some refinements of the famous Young type inequality. As application of our result, we obtain some matrix inequalities for the Hilbert-Schmidt norm and the trace norm. The results obtained in this paper can be viewed as refinement of the derived results by H. Kai [Young type inequalities for matrices, J. Ea...
متن کاملThe effect of cooking process on the total lipid and n-3 LC-PUFA contents of Australian Bass Strait scallops, Pecten fumatus.
A total of twenty-three Australian Bass Strait scallops, Pecten fumatus processed by three different cooking methods: steam, battered and deep-fry, and pan-fry were analysed to determine the total lipid and health-benefiting n-3 PUFA contents. Fry process resulted in a significantly higher lipid content (p<0.05) with 1.98g/100g being found in deep-fried and 1.78g/100g in pan-fried scallops whil...
متن کاملMechanistic insights into posterior mitral leaflet inter-scallop malcoaptation during acute ischemic mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional dynamics of the 3 individual scallops within the posterior mitral leaflet during acute ischemic mitral regurgitations have not been previously measured. METHODS Radiopaque markers were sutured to the mitral annulus, papillary muscle tips, and leaflet edges in 13 sheep. Immediately postoperatively, under open-chest conditions, 3-D marker coordinates were obtained u...
