Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) is widely used in trace-metal analysis. However, the behavior of this hot, ionized gas and effects on analyte excitation and ionization is not fully understood. To obtain sufficient information on the characteristics of plasma, two previous approaches, Abel inversion and tomography, have been used. Major drawbacks of these appro...

Hematologic and serum chemistry values are reported for 105 brown boobies (Sula leucogaster) from Johnston Atoll, Central Pacific. Hematocrit, estimated total plasma solids, total and differential white cell counts, serum glucose, calcium, phosphorus, uric acid, total protein, albumin, globulin, aspartate aminotransferase, and creatinine phosphokinase were analyzed. Hematologic and serum chemis...
