Effects Of Chronic Cd Exposure Via The Diet Or Water On Internal Organ-Specific Distribution And Subsequent Gill Cd Uptake Kinetics In Juvenile Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss), Cheryl Szebedinksy, James C. Mcgeer, D. Gordon Mcdonald, Chris M. Wood Jan 2001

Effects Of Chronic Cd Exposure Via The Diet Or Water On Internal Organ-Specific Distribution And Subsequent Gill Cd Uptake Kinetics In Juvenile Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss), Cheryl Szebedinksy, James C. Mcgeer, D. Gordon Mcdonald, Chris M. Wood

Biology Faculty Publications

New regulatory approaches to metal toxicity (e.g., biotic ligand model [BLM]) focus on gill metal binding and tissue specific accumulation of waterborne metals; the dietary route of exposure and dietary/waterborne interactions are not considered, nor are the consequences of chronic exposure by either route. Therefore, we studied the effect of the same gill Cd load (∼μ2.5 mg/g), achieved by a chronic, 30-d exposure to Cd either via the diet (1,500 mg/kg) or the water (2 μg/L), on tissue-specific Cd distribution and subsequent uptake of waterborne Cd in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). These two exposure regimes resulted in …

Fair Warning: Preemption And Navigating The Bermuda Triangle Of E-Sign, Ueta, And State Digital Signature Laws, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 401 (2001), Renard Francois Jan 2001

Fair Warning: Preemption And Navigating The Bermuda Triangle Of E-Sign, Ueta, And State Digital Signature Laws, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 401 (2001), Renard Francois

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Problems with authenticity, integrity, and repudiation can create a barrier for both individuals and businesses using the Internet for transactions and negotiations. To help address these issues, the federal government enacted E-Sign. This statute protects consumers and ensures no signature will be denied legal effect. E-Sign is sometimes in conflict with state adopted statute, UETA. E-Sign has preemption provisions that are inconsistent with the goals of creating legal uniformity. This comment suggests amending E-Sign so that it is clear that any modification to UETA will cause the state’s version of UETA to be completely preempted.

“Negotiating Academic and Personal Selves” is Chapter 4 of the book Between Gay and Straight: Understanding Friendship Across Sexual Orientation (AltaMira Press, 2001).
