ABSTRACT A considerable amount of energy is consumed to cool electronic equipment in data centers. A method for substantially reducing the energy needed for this cooling was demonstrated. The method involves immersing electronic equipment in a non-conductive liquid that changes phase from a liquid to a gas. The liquid used was 3M Novec 649. Two-phase immersion cooling using this liquid is not viable at this time. The primary obstacles are IT equipment failures and costs. However, the demonstrated technology met the performance objectives for energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction.

Salmon farms destroying wild salmon populations in Canada, Europe: study ALISON AULD . Canadian Press NewsWire . Toronto: Feb 11, 2008. Abstract (Summary) The authors, including the late Halifax biologist Ransom Myers, claim the study is the first of its kind to take an international view of stock sizes in countries that have significant salmon aquaculture industries. The paper didn't look to the causes of the declines, which have been discussed in a series of studies over the last decade that have linked disease, interbreeding of escaped salmon and lice from farmed fish with reductions. Full Text (618 words) Copyright Canadian Press Feb 11, 2008 HALIFAX _ Salmon farming operations have reduced wild salmon populations by up to 70 per cent in several areas around the world and are threatening the future of the endangered stocks, according a new scientific study. The research by two Canadian marine biologists showed dramatic declines in the abundance of wild salmon populations whose migration takes them past salmon farms in Canada, Ireland and Scotland. ``Our estimates are that they reduced the survival of wild populations by more than half,'' Jennifer Ford, lead author of the study published Monday in the Public Library of Science journal, said in Halifax. ``Less than half of the juvenile salmon from those populations that would have survived to come back and reproduce actually come back because they're killed by some mechanism that has to do with salmon farming.'' The authors, including the late Halifax biologist Ransom Myers, claim the study is the first of its kind to take an international view of stock sizes in countries that have significant salmon aquaculture industries.
  • Working with Hazardous Chemicals

    Working with Hazardous Chemicals

    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk. Organic Syntheses, Inc., its Editors, and its Board of Directors do not warrant or guarantee the safety of individuals using these procedures and hereby disclaim any liability for any injuries or damages claimed to have resulted from or related in any way to the procedures herein.
  • Environmental Health and Safety Vacuum Traps

    Environmental Health and Safety Vacuum Traps

    Environmental Health and Safety Vacuum Traps Always place an appropriate trap between experimental apparatus and the vacuum source. The vacuum trap: • protects the pump, pump oil and piping from the potentially damaging effects of the material; • protects people who must work on the vacuum lines or system, and; • prevents vapors and related odors from being emitted back into the laboratory or system exhaust. Improper trapping can allow vapor to be emitted from the exhaust of the vacuum system, resulting in either reentry into the laboratory and building or potential exposure to maintenance workers. Proper traps are important for both local pumps and building systems. Proper Trapping Techniques To prevent contamination, all lines leading from experimental apparatus to the vacuum source must be equipped with filtration or other trapping as appropriate. • Particulates: use filtration capable of efficiently trapping the particles in the size range being generated. • Biological Material: use a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. Liquid disinfectant (e.g. bleach or other appropriate material) traps may also be required. • Aqueous or non-volatile liquids: a filter flask at room temperature is adequate to prevent liquids from getting to the vacuum source. • Solvents and other volatile liquids: use a cold trap of sufficient size and cold enough to condense vapors generated, followed by a filter flask capable of collecting fluid that could be aspirated out of the cold trap. • Highly reactive, corrosive or toxic gases: use a sorbent canister or scrubbing device capable of trapping the gas. Environmental Health and Safety 632-6410 January 2010 EHSD0365 (01/10) Page 1 of 2 www.stonybrook.edu/ehs Cold Traps For most volatile liquids, a cold trap using a slush of dry ice and either isopropanol or ethanol is sufficient (to -78 deg.

JoSSonline.com Preliminary Thermal Validation Tests for Education-Class CubeSats and Weather- Balloon Payloads Lingqi Li and Kenjiro S. Lay Penn State University State College, PA, US Masataka Okutsu Penn State University Abington Abington, PA, US Abstract Low development and launch costs of CubeSats, a type of small spacecraft typically one to three liters in volume, have made space science accessible to educational institutions, offering engaging opportunities for stu- dents in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Some university teams work- ing on these education-class CubeSats conduct high-altitude flight experiments using balloons to test their instru- ments in the harsh environment at the edges of the troposphere and the stratosphere. Whether for the balloon experiment or for the actual spaceflight, temperatures of the operating environments are of concern. Instruments flown in space must be qualified for wide thermal ranges (e.g., −40°C to 70°C) in vacuum conditions. Likewise, instruments flown on the balloons must be able to operate in a similarly large range of temperatures (e.g., −50°C to 50°C) in the reduced pressure environment. Unfortunately, a thermal-vacuum chamber—standard testing equipment for spacecraft—is not accessible to many university teams. This paper presents incubator testing and cooling-bath testing methods as preliminary thermal validation tests that may be carried out easily, safely, and inexpensively, without any need for the expensive thermal-vacuum chamber. We also discuss an add-on demon- stration in which a CubeSat prototype was flown on a weather balloon to an altitude of ~16 km.

S. et al. (2007): 20 years of the German Small-Scale Bottom Trawl Survey (GSBTS): A review. – Senckenbergiana maritima, 37 (1): 13 – 82, 50 Figs., 18 Tabs., 1 App., Frankfurt a. M.] The German Small-scale Bottom Trawl Survey (GSBTS) was initiated in 1987 in order to provide com- plementary investigations to the International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS) in the North Sea, using the same methodology but focussing high-intensity sampling on selected survey areas. Over the last 20 years, the initial number of 4 survey areas (10 ×eschweizerbartxxx 10 sng- nautical miles; “Boxes”) has been increased to 12, which are distributed over the entire North Sea. This paper describes the survey methods of the GSBTS, summarizes the scientific outcome of the first 20 years, and suggests that international fisheries research institutions would join the GSBTS. The major outcomes of the survey include to date: – Documentation changes in the distribution of fish species and in species assemblages (e.g. changes in species richness, shifts in the southern species component). – Geostatistical evaluation of GSBTS data.

Most of the collection is composed of species from the Brazilian marine fauna, especially those from the southern region; a few lots were collected beyond Brazilian waters or are specimens donated by other institutions. This catalog is organized as two lists: taxonomic list of species and list of lots. The lists are arranged by class, order and family. Within families, taxa are arranged alphabetically by genus and then species. Information for each entry includes genus, species, author, year of publication, MOVI catalog number, number of specimens, nature of the material collected, sex, size range, location (ocean, country, state, county, coordinates, depth), vessel, collection method, collector, collection date, donor, donation date, identifier, and date of identification. Remarks pertaining to specimens contained within a lot are also included when necessary.
