Borehole geophysical logging for water-resources investigations in Pennsylvania Borehole geophysical logging for water-resources investigations in Pennsylvania

Borehole geophysical logging is a procedure to collect and transmit specific information about the geologic formations penetrated by a well by raising and lowering a set of probes or sondes that contain water-tight instruments in the well. The data collected can be used to determine general formation geology, fracture distribution, vertical borehole flow, and water-yielding capabilities.

Toxicity and oxidative stress of different forms of organic selenium and dietary protein in mallard ducklings Toxicity and oxidative stress of different forms of organic selenium and dietary protein in mallard ducklings

Concentrations of over 100 ppm (mg/kg) selenium (Se) have been found in aquatic plants and insects associated with irrigation drainwater and toxicity to fish and wildlife. Composition of diet for wild ducklings can vary in selenium-contaminated environments. Earlier studies have compared toxicities and oxidative stress of Se as selenite to those of seleno-DL-methionine (DL) in mallards...
