Evaluation Of Techniques For The Biomonitoring Of Pollutants In Members Of The Ulvaceae, Rebecca Schild Jan 1996

Evaluation Of Techniques For The Biomonitoring Of Pollutants In Members Of The Ulvaceae, Rebecca Schild

School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses

This study involved the development and evaluation of a number of biomonitoring techniques for use with members of the Ulvaceae, Enteromorpha intestinalis (L.) Link, and Viva lactuca (L.). The techniques included both previously established ones and those which required development. The two main procedures developed for these algae were the neutral red retention technique (making use of a vital stain) and the ion leakage Health Index (based upon electrolyte leakage). Following optimisation both were used to produce quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) for a series of n-alcohols using log KOW as the physicochemical parameter. The resultant QSARs were statistically indistinguishable with …

Quebec's Perspective On Social Aspects And The Broadening Of Free Trade In The Americas, Osvaldo Nunez Jan 1996

Quebec's Perspective On Social Aspects And The Broadening Of Free Trade In The Americas, Osvaldo Nunez

Connecticut Journal of International Law

This Article will argue that two attitudes toward continental trade liberalization clashed in Canada when the FTA and North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)5 were debated: the more venturesome view held by Quebec, and the other more hesitant view held by the rest of Canada. Whether Quebec chooses to remain a Canadian province or take on the status of a sovereign state, it will remain an enthusiastic supporter of trade liberalization throughout the continent; Quebec will support such free trade even though some analysts have raised legitimate questions about the challenges that trade liberalization poses, particularly at the social level. …

The decisions documented the inmates' dystopian existence and developed and discussed various core components of contemporary international criminal law. These precedents have taken on renewed relevance as the global community confronts …
