A mechanistic model for the uptake of waterborn strontium in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)
Article Abstract:
A Michaelis-Menten type model is used to predict the effects of changes in environmental conditions on the uptake of strontium(super2)(super+) and Ca(super2)(super+)by freshwater fish. Common carp were used. The model accounts for the effects of chemical speciation, pH, and calcium ion competition.

The uptake of iron-55 by marine sediment, macroalgae, and biota following discharge from a nuclear power station
Article Abstract:
Data on temporal variation and concentration of Iron-55 is presented from the following study in which (super 55) Fe, in crab, lobster, fucoid seaweeds and shellfish collected from Weymouth Bay and adjacent coastal areas, Southern England. Operations of a now decommissioned steam generating heavy-water type reactor at AEE Winfrith is the source of radionuclides in these areas. The largest levels of (super 55) Fe were found in marine sediments collected near the discharge pipeline, and the amount declines occurs with distance from the pipeline.

Flux decline during nanofiltration of organic components in aqueous solution
Article Abstract:
Flux decline during nanofiltration is measured as an interaction of the membrane with the components of an acqueous solution. The qualities of five different membranes are compared, and the flux decline as a function of different chemicals is graphed, with a discussion on the role of polarity.
