Abstract A quantitative and a qualitative method for the determination of acetone peroxides were subjected to collaborative study. Quantitative analyses are based upon liberation and titration of hydrogen peroxide from acyclic peroxides and hydroperoxides by dilute sulfuric acid and standardized potassium permanganate, respectively. Single determination of 6 samples (varying in per cent levels of peroxide equivalent) each of baking premixes and milling premixes produced very good collaborative results. Qualitative analyses, achieved by comparing infrared spectra of acetone-extracted organic peroxides with acetone-extracted organic peroxides from a reference premix, gave peaks characteristic of the premixes. No interferences were seen from various starch blanks. Both the quantitative and the qualitative methods are recommended for adoption as official, first action.

Abstract We investigated the potential role of ballast sediment from coastal and transoceanic oil tankers arriving and de-ballasting in Port Valdez as a vector for the introduction of invasive benthic foraminifera in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Forty-one ballast sediment samples were obtained during 1998–1999 from 11 oil tankers that routinely discharged their ballast in Prince William Sound after sailing from other West Coast (Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor, San Francisco Bay, and Puget Sound) or foreign ports (Japan, Korea, and China) where they originally ballasted. Forty of these samples contained benthic foraminifera, including 27 (66%) with the introduced species Trochammina hadai Uchio from nine (81%) of the ships. In all, 59 species were recovered and foraminiferal abundance peaked at 27,000 specimens per gram dry sediment. Of the 41 samples, three were stained and living benthic foraminifera were recovered in all three of them. The entrained foraminifera reflected the number of times ballasting occurred (single or multiple sources), the location of ballasting (estuarine or offshore), and post-acquisition alteration of the sediment (i.e., growth of gypsum crystals at the possible expense of calcareous tests). In temperate regions, sediment samples resulting from single-source ballasting in estuaries (SSBE), multiple-source ballasting in estuaries (MSBE), single-source ballasting offshore (SSBO), and a combination of SSBO and SSBE or MSBE, typically contained increasingly higher species richness, respectively. The potential for foreign species invasion is dependent on the presence of viable candidates and their survivability, their abundance in the ballasting location, and the number of times ballasting occurs, most of which are evident from the ship's ballasting history. We estimate that 442.1 billion to 8.84 trillion living foraminifera were introduced into Port Valdez in a single year, suggesting it is quite likely that an invasive species could be successfully established there. Trochammina hadai is a good example of a successful invasive in Prince William Sound for the following reasons: 1) the species is abundant enough in U.S. West Coast and foreign ports where ballasting occurs that sufficient individuals needed for reproduction may be transported to the receiving waters; 2) Port Valdez, in particular, receives repeated and frequent inoculations from the same source ports where T. hadai is present; 3) large quantities of sediment are taken up by commercial vessels during ballasting and benthic foraminifera occur in abundance in ballast sediment; 4) ballast sediment provides a suitable environment in which benthic foraminifera can survive for extended periods of time during transport; 5) T. hadai flourishes in a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions that characterize both the ports where ballasting takes place as well as in Port Valdez where de-ballasting occurs; and 6) the species is capable of asexual reproduction and possibly the ability to form a dormant resting stage, both of which have the potential to lower the threshold for colonization. Clearly, ballast sediment is a viable vector for the introduction of T. hadai and other invasives into Alaskan ports and elsewhere worldwide.

AbstractBiology is rich in claims that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are involved in every biological process and disease. However, many quantitative aspects of redox biology remain elusive. The important quantitative parameters you need to address the feasibility of redox reactions in vivo are: rate of formation and consumption of a reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, half-life, diffusibility and membrane permeability. In the first part, we explain the basic chemical kinetics concepts and algebraic equations required to perform “street fighting” quantitative analysis. In the second part, we provide key numbers to help thinking about sizes, concentrations, rates and other important quantities that describe the major oxidants (superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide) and antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione). In the third part, we present the quantitative effect of exercise on superoxide, hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide concentration in mitochondria and whole muscle and calculate how much hydrogen peroxide concentration needs to increase to transduce signalling. By taking into consideration the quantitative aspects of redox biology we can: i) refine the broad understanding of this research area, ii) design better future studies and facilitate comparisons among studies, and iii) define more efficiently the “borders” between cellular signaling and stress.

A development of meiofaunal data (foraminifera) from offshore area of West Lombok was conducted on 20 marine sediment samples. The samples were taken out using a grab sampler in 1997. The purpose of this study was to apply the formula of Foraminiferal Index by Hallock et al. (2003). Another purpose of this study was to recognize its relation of white sands of Senggigi beach that was dominated by Shlumbergerella floresiana. The result of analysis showed that the value of Foraminiferal Index (FI) was varies between 1.22 and 9.81. The low value of FI (<2) was found at sites that were close to the coastal area. The values FI >2 and <4 occur at five stations that gave indication of limited environment for coral growth. Value of FI >4 that showed good water condition was found in an area surrounding small islands of Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, Gili Air and southern part of the study area. Based on the identification of foraminiferal specimens, the occurrence of Shlumbergerella floresiana was not abundant as it was accumulated in Senggigi beach. This result showed that this species did not come from samples studied but might come from marine sediment adjacent to the Senggigi beachKeywords: Benthic foraminifera, FORAM Index, west Lombok

Foraminiferal analysis was carried out on twenty five (25) ditch cutting samples from well -AA, offsore Niger Delta covering a depth interval of 9000ft-11025f. The study was aimed at age deduction, zoning the well, and interpreting the paleoenvironment of deposition. Lithostratigraphic description carried out on the sample revealed that the bulk lithofacies constitute shale with streaks of sand (fine-medium) between 9170ft - 9210ft and 9360ft -9380ft. The entire analysed interval was barren of planktonic foraminifera while depth 9960ft revealed a spot occurrence of Lagena spp,representing the only calcareous benthic foraminifera recovered in the entire interval. Few to common occurrences of deepwater agglutinated foraminifera were found in the well, dominated by some species of Haplophragmoides spp and Haplophragmoides narivaensis. Other foraminifera with rare and scattered occurrence includes, Cribrostomides spp, Bathysiphon spp, Troahammina spp, Cyclammina spp, Cyclammina cancellata, Valvulina spp, and Glomospira spp. The only microfaunal associated accessory recovered is ostracod at depth 1080ft. The analysed intervals was assigned a Middle – Late Miocene (N17 and older age) based on the FDO of Haplophragmoides narivaensis. The  environment of deposition is based on the distribution of typical deep water arenaeceous foraminifera species recovered in the study. The predominance of the arenaeceous forms over calcareous forms suggest outer shelf environment of deposition. Keywords: Foraminifera, Palaeoenvironment, Niger delta, Biostratigraphy.
