Bromoperoxidase and iodoperoxidase enzymes and production of halogenated methanes in marine diatom cultures
(1996-09)Halogenated methanes produced in the oceans are important as carriers of chlorine, bromine, and iodine into the atmosphere. There they play roles in the regulation of ozone in the stratosphere and perhaps in the Arctic ... -
The Brownie Experiment: An Analysis of Sustainable Labelling and Its Effect on Choice
(2015-04)The literature suggests that in total between twenty and thirty percent of the environmental impact in the western world is due to food consumption. As such, food choices are an important consideration in reducing environmental ... -
Bryophyte dynamics across wetland and lakeshore edges in southwest Nova Scotia
(2011-03)Wetlands are effective carbon sinks, supply clean water, enhance soil nutrition, and are regarded as valuable ecosystems. Bryophytes play a key role in wetland functioning. Previous studies have looked at wetlands as whole ... -

A calorimetric investigation of the low-temperature phase transition in sodium hydroxide-d.
(1986)The heat capacity of NaOD from 20 to 350 K is reported. An anomaly centered at 153.2 ± 0.1 K (?H = 131.1 ± 0.7 J/mol, ?S = 0.864 ± 0.005 J/K.mol) corresponds to the onset of a low-temp. antiferroelec. phase. This ... -
