Groundwater flow in an idealized atoll platform is simulated with CASTEM 2000, a computer code developed at the CEA (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique). Darcy’s law and a coupled solute transport equation (diffusion–dispersion–convection) is solved by the mixed-hybrid finite-element method. Inward and upward circulations of oceanic water are shown to occur. These steady-state circulations resul...

This research determined the potential for methylmercury or Aroclor 1268 to disrupt reproduction and sexual differentiation in Fundulus heteroclitus. The research determined whether fish that are exposed to mercury or Aroclor 1268 survive and successfully reproduce; whether offspring of exposed fish hatch, survive, produce eggs, and fertilize them; and whether the second-generation offspring of...

The aerobic oxidation of indole-3-acetic acid catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase produces 1268 nm emission characteristic of singlet oxygen. Lactoperoxidase also oxidizes indole-3-acetic acid to produce singlet oxygen, but in contrast to horseradish peroxidase, this enzyme system requires hydrogen peroxide. In both of these systems, the intensity of the 1268 nm emission is small due to quenchi...

The New Zealand Commerce Commission is currently undertaking an enquiry into the terms “light” and “mild” on tobacco products. This is an important issue from a public health and a consumer rights perspective. However, we fear that focusing only on the descriptor as a potentially misleading method of communicating about the product to consumers is inadequate, and that the review should encompas...

Impressive images of a ferocious deity holding cleaver and skullcup emerged in precolonial Sumatra. The is depicted with female partner on the sword Mandākinī, as monumental statue found at Dharmāśraya Sumatran highlands. These are often said to represent (the Śivaite) Bhairava king Ādityavarman (c. 1294–1374), but they have overt marks Buddhist affiliation. It shown here that Vajramahākāla, de...

Singlet oxygen production in the chloroperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-halide system was studied using 1268 nm chemiluminescence. With chloride or bromide ions, singlet oxygen is produced by the mechanism (formula; see text) (formula; see text) where X- is chloride or bromide ion. Under conditions where there is high enzyme activity and when Reaction B is fast relative to Reaction A, singlet oxyge...
