in situ analysis of gut residue of corophium volutator (pallas) by electron probe microanalysis after exposure to barytes spiked sediments
Authors
abstract
corophium volutator (pallas) has been recommended by the paris commission as one of the standard species for testing chemical used in offshore oil and gas exploration/production. in the present study, gut contents of corophium volutator have been analysed by electron probe microanalysis (epma) for baso4 and other heavy metal impurities after exposure tto spiked sediments following a standard astm sediment bioassay protocol. results show that depuration of corophium gut for 48 h in clean filtered seawater after exposure to sediments containing barites, prior to whole body metal analysis, is required to reflect the true metal burdens

full textGrowth of Corophium volutator under laboratory conditions.
Temperature-dependent growth is an important factor in the population model of Corophium volutator that was developed to translate responses in a 10-day acute bioassay to ecological consequences for the population. The growth rate, however, was estimated from old data, based on a Swedish population. Therefore, new growth rates are estimated herein from two experiments using Corophium volutator....
full textComparison of laboratory and in situ sediment bioassays using Corophium volutator.
Bioassays with the marine amphipod Corophium volutator were performed simultaneously in situ and in the laboratory using sediments sampled from the in situ locations. In most cases, the in situ response was significantly higher compared to the laboratory response. This difference was not caused by direct influence of the use of the field chamber on Corophium sp., nor was the difference caused b...

An electron microprobe is an electron microscope designed for the non-destructive x-ray microanalysis and imaging of solid materials. It is essentially a hybrid instrument combining the capabilities of both the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an x-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF), with the added features of fine-spot focusing (~ 1 micrometer), optical microscope imaging, and precision...

The section on tranquilizers comprises three chapters: (1) Phenothiazine derivatives by P. B. Bradley, (2) Rauwolfia derivatives by J. J. Lewis and (3) Diphenylmethane derivatives by T. R. Sherrod. The first two are, quite justifiably, restricted to detailed accounts of the pharmacology of chlorpromazine and reserpine respectively, which are treated as model compounds representative of their ch...

The recognition and understanding of the role of the microstructure in controlling the macroscopic behavior of a material has been a major theme of science and technology throughout the history of NBS/NIST. In materials science, the late 19th century saw the development of the sample preparation procedures we know today as “metallography” and “materialography,” and the emergence of optical micr...
