Feature Extraction of Hyperspectral Data for under Spilled Blood Visualization Using Particle Swarm Optimization
"... Abstract—In this paper, an intraoperative application of a particle swarm optimization based feature extraction algorithm for hyperspectral imagery data visualization is proposed. The objective of the algorithm is to extract the features that generate the best visualization of an area covered by blo ..."
Spills Powder

"... MS-222 is used for anesthesia or euthanasia of fish, amphibians and other aquatic, cold-blooded animals. It is typically purchased as a powder and dissolved in water prior to use. Overexposure to MS-222 in humans may cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation. There is one report in the literature o ..."

Commentary Elemental Mercury Spills
"... Sources of elemental mercury (Hg 0) include old natural gas regulators, manometers, sphygmomanometers, thermometers, and thermostats. Causes of Hg 0 spills include improper storage, container breakage, children playing with Hg 0, the breakage of devices containing Hg 0, and ritualistic use of Hg 0. ..."

of Hg 0 vapors may cause lung damage, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, increases in blood pressure or heart rate, skin rashes, and eye irritation, among other effects. Minimizing Hg 0 dispersal is important after an Hg 0 spill. Tracking by shoes or apparel or vacuuming can spread Hg 0, increasing airborne
Immunologic Biomarkers Associated with an Acute Exposure to Exothermic Byproducts of a Ureaformaldehyde Spill
"... A community was exposed for several days to formaldehyde (HCHO), hexamthylenetetramine, trimethylamine, and parafo alehyde emitted from an overheat tanker car cont g foimldehyde resn. Residents experienced acute HCHO symptoms at the time of the accident. Many developed chronic, multiple organ health ..."

"... It perhaps behoves book reviewers to ask themselves who on earth ever reads their products. A part answer is, presumably, those whose eye is caught by a new title or by one they had previously noted and fleetingly wondered whether it might be worth forking out for. The majority, I suspect, are like ..."

ARCTIC Histopathologic and Biochemical Responses in Arctic Marine Bivalve Molluscs Exposed to Experimentally Spilled Oil
, 1986
"... ABSTRACT. Following two experimental spills of chemically dispersed and undispersed crude oil in shallow bays on the northwest coast of Baffin Island, Canadian Arctic, the bivalve molluscs Myu truncutu and Mucomu culcureu accumulated significant amounts of petroleum hydrocarbons in bays receiving di ..."

Concentrations in the clam tissues of glucose, glycogen, trehalose, total lipid and free amino acids were
Effects of acute exposure to heavy fuel oil from the Prestige spill on a seabird
, 2007
"... Large quantities of petroleum products are released into the marine environment as result of tanker wrecks. Such catastrophic events have a dramatic impact on marine ecosystems, affecting a broad range of species. Seabirds are placed at the uppermost trophic level of the marine food chain. Therefore ..."

In the present study, wild yellow-legged gulls were fed with heavy fuel oil from the Prestige oil spill (P-gulls) and compared with control gulls (C-gulls) fed only with the vehicle
Author's personal copy PCB exposure in sea otters and harlequin ducks in relation to history of contamination by the Exxon Valdez oil spill
"... a b s t r a c t Exposure to contaminants other than petroleum hydrocarbons could confound interpretation of Exxon Valdez oil spill effects on biota at Prince William Sound, Alaska. Hence, we investigated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in blood of sea otters and harlequin ducks sampled during 1998 ..."
