First detection of an NSAID, flunixin, in sheep's wool using GC-MS

Exposure to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) diclofenac resulted in the near extinction of three species of Gyps vultures on the Indian subcontinent. Other NSAIDs present in the environment, including flunixin, may pose a similar risk. In the course of a study to determine the feasibility of detecting NSAIDs in keratinous matrices (i.e., hair, nails and feathers) using GC-MS, wool opportunistically collected from a sheep treated with flunixin was analysed for residues. Flunixin was detected qualitatively in external wool wash and extract samples. While residues of veterinary agents and pesticides have previously been found in sheep’s wool, our preliminary investigation provides the first instance of an NSAID being detected in this matrix. Here we provide the sample preparation methods and GC-MS parameters used to enable further refinement as part of ongoing conservation and consumer quality control measures.

“z值评价-风险评估-技术核验”统计评价模型用于低样本量能力验证——以水质监测为例

为解决低样本量下的能力验证z比分数评价结果可能偏离参加者真实能力水平的问题,建立了"z值评价-风险评估-技术核验"统计评价模型,以"一带一路"共建国家"水中铁和氟化物的检测"国际能力验证项目为例进行了验证。结果显示:样本量为14家(低样本量)、指定值与样本真值相对误差的绝对值大于4%时,铁检测项目获得"满意"评价结果的14家参加者中,5家存在数据"不准确"中/高风险;氟化物检测项目获得"满意"评价结果的11家参加者中,7家存在数据"不准确"中/高风险。技术核验反映出的突出问题是参加者未按照检测方法的要求实施质量控制措施,标准曲线绘制、试剂配制、关键仪器参数设置记录缺失,原始记录可追溯性较差。由此证实了数据风险点的存在,同时也印证了该统计评价模型的可靠性和必要性。     

Alpha-male paternity in elephant seals

The aim of this study was to assess paternity of males that dominated mating in harems at northern (Mirounga angustirostris) and southern (M. leonina) elephant seal rookeries using DNA fingerprinting and microsatellite DNA analysis. Southern alpha males had greater reproductive success than most northern alphas at similar-sized harems. Comparison of the relatedness between pups within harems also suggested that fewer males achieved matings in the southern elephant seal population. This was consistent with behavioral observations that suggest greater competition for mates in northern elephant seal harems. Reproductive success was consistent with estimates of mating success in some cases, but lower than expected for some northern elephant seal alpha males. A lower reproductive success than predicted from mating behavior may arise from a variety of factors including sperm competition, male sperm depletion from frequent mating, or reduced fertility. The alternatives are discussed in the context of environmental and historical factors. Received: 17 August 1998 / Received in revised form: 28 March 1999 / Accepted: 30 May 1999

ARTICULATED CONCRETE BLOCK STABILITY TESTING1

ABSTRACT: An articulated concrete block revetment system was developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to test and evaluate the practicability of the protocols for overtopping and channelized flow conditions. Test facilities were constructed, prototype articulated concrete blocks were fabricated and installed into the facilities, and the blocks were tested using the established protocols. The test results indicated that both the overtopping and channel flow tests yielded similar results: the blocks reached a point of instability at approximately the same velocity and shear stresses. The similar test results indicate that only one protocol is required to evaluate an articulated concrete block system. It was demonstrated that both protocols can be effectively conducted. It is recommended that the overtopping test be adapted as a standard test procedure because of its reduced construction costs and its efficiency compared to the channelized test.
