ERBE/NOAA-9 observations for the FIRE/SRB Wisconsin experiment region from October 14 through October 31, 1986

Tables are presented which show ERBE/NOAA-9 radiances, resolution size, and pixel location for the FIRE/SRB Wisconsin experiment region from October 1 through October 31, l986. Also presented is an analysis of the ERBE point spread function used to estimate pixel resolution size for the scanner instrument

An Experimental Circulatory Arrest Model in the Rat to Evaluate Calcium Antagonists in Cerebral Resuscitation

A circulatory arrest model in the rat was developed for use in cerebral and cardiac resuscitation studies. Whole-body ischemia was produced for 8 to 18 minutes by arresting the heart with a cold potassium chloride cardioplegic solution. Following cardiopulmonary resuscitation, minimal, standardized intensive care was provided. As the duration of ischemia was increased from 8 to 18 minutes, survival immediately following resuscitation decreased from 100% to 25%, and survival at 48 hours after ischemia decreased from 80% to 0%. Thirty per cent of the rats recovering from 11 minutes of ischemia suffered motor seizures. Survival and the incidence of motor seizures appear to be good measures of outcome following ischemic circulatory arrest. These measures can be used to test the possible anti-ischemic actions of calcium antagonists or other drugs

Use of Shallow Estuarine Habitats by Nekton in the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, Alabama

We compared nekton density, composition, and biomass in fall 2009 and spring 2010 among three major habitat types (marsh, SAV=submerged aquatic vegetation dominated by Vallisneria americana, SNB=shallow nonvegetated bottom) commonly found throughout the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta (MTD) using 1-m2drop samplers. In the sampling design, habitat selection was based on vegetation composition. Sample locations (TR=Tensaw River, CB=Chocolatta Bay, and BC=Below Causeway) were selected based on their degree of tidal connectivity with the wider estuary (BC \u3e TR \u3e CB). Nekton distributional patterns varied among both locations and habitat types. Species richness was greater at BC than CB. The young of most estuarine-dependant fishery species (e.g., white shrimp, blue crab, gulf menhaden) were more abundant, and had more biomass, at BC and TR than CB. Estuarine residents (e.g., riverine grass shrimp, rainwater killifish) dominated the nekton in CB. Within locations, mean densities and biomass of abundant species were concentrated in vegetated (marsh, SAV) habitat types, and most species associated with vegetation structure were more abundant in SAV than marsh. Tidally unrestricted areas of the MTD may provide an important nursery for fishery species such as white shrimp, blue crab, gulf menhaden, and southern flounder. Additional studies will be needed to determine if these fishery species represent strong conduits for cross ecosystem transfer of energy and nutrients between the MTD and northern Gulf of Mexico
