Ecological survey, upper James River, Surry Nuclear Power Station site, July 1973

Beginning in Hay of 1969 field surveys have been conducted in the Hog Island area of the James River to characterize the biota of the region. The objective of these surveys has been to determine any significant changes in the biota related to the operation of the nuclear power station. Although during the period of study, methods and stations have been changed to adjust the study to changing regulations, its basic character has remained. Communities surveyed have included benthos, epibenthos, zoo- and phytoplankton, fish, and fouling organisms. In addition, special studies of thermal tolerance have been conducted on oysters and Rangia clams. During this study period an additional aspect was added when entrainment studies to determine zooplankton mortality when entrapped in the thermal plume were initiated

Polynuclear hydrocarbons in sediments and clams in the vicinity of a refinery outfall

The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine whether substances present in refinery process water are found in adjacent sediments and bivalves 2) to determine the concentrations of compounds detected 3) to identify compounds that may have adverse effects on marine animals or their human consumers

Polynuclear hydrocarbons in sediments and clams in the vicinity of a refinery outfall

The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine whether certain organic substances (polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons) present in a refinery process water are found in adjacent sediments and bivalves; and 2) to determine the concentrations of the compounds detected

The Surface of a Bose-Einstein Condensed Atomic Cloud

We investigate the structure and collective modes of a planar surface of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensed gas at zero temperature. In the long-wavelength limit we find a mode similar to the gravity wave on the surface of a fluid with the frequency $\omega$ and the wavenumber $q$ related by $\omega^2=Fq/m$. Here $F$ is the force due to the confining potential at the surface and $m$ is the particle mass. At shorter wavelengths we use a variational approach and find corrections to $\omega^2$ of order $q^4 \ln{q}$. We demonstrate the usefulness of the concept of an effective surface tension for describing both static and dynamic properties of condensed atomic clouds.Comment: 8 pages, REVTEX, submitted to Phys.
