In this revision of the subtribe Athouina of Dendrometrini, we recognized three species including Cidnopus nigronitidus sp. nov., Limonius scutellaris (Dolin, 2003) comb. nov., all new to Korea, and Limoniscus kraatzi (Candèze, 1879) is recognized as the most abundant species in the Korean Peninsula. Previous records of Athousius humeralis (Miwa, 1927) and Limoniscus rufipennis (Lewis, 1894) ha...

We present a study of the potential export pathways of middle-lived pollutants from the Iberian Peninsula using an advanced 3-D Lagrangian atmospheric transport model (FLEXPART). A period of five years, from 2000 to 2004, was analyzed. Results confirm that the Mediterranean Sea and Central Asia are the dominant sinks of the air originated in the Iberian Peninsula in the range of 3 to 10 days of...

This Fisheries Centre Research Report presents eleven papers that describe whole-ecosystem models of four Antarctic areas: the Antarctic Peninsula, Kerguelen Islands, Falkland Islands, and the Southern Plateau region, New Zealand. A mass-balance model, sources of data, and derivations of model parameters are detailed for each region. Dynamic simulation models for the Antarctic Peninsula and the...

In 1973 and 1974, several thousand Michigan dairy farms were contaminated by polybrominated biphenyls (P.B.B.) as the result of an industrial accident. An unknown quantity of contaminated meat and dairy products entered the food chain before contaminated farms were quarantined. To determine the extent of human exposure, P.B.B. concentrations were measured in human breast milk, which was collect...
