A comparison of the moss floras of Chile and New Zealand
No full textChile and New Zealand share a common stock of 181 species of mosses in 94 genera and 34 families. This number counts for 23.3% of the Chilean and 34.6% of the New Zealand moss flora. If only species with austral distribution are taken into account, the number is reduced to 113 species in common, which is 14.5% of the Chilean and 21.6% of the New Zealand moss flora. This correlation is interpreted in terms of long distance dispersal resp. the common phytogeographical background of both countries as parts of the palaoaustral floristic region and compared with disjunct moss floras of other continents as well as the presently available molecular data

Evaluation of Carex Peat, Sphagnum Moss Peat, and Sphagnum Top Moss As Oil Sorbents
No full textPrepared for: Peat 90 Conference, Jyvaskyla, Finland, June 11-15, 1990Experiments were conducted to evaluate the ability of Carex peat, Sphagnum moss peat, and
Sphagnum top moss to sorb (i.e., to take up and hold oil by either adsorption or absorption)
Lloydminster and UHC crude oils. Pure component and mixed components of the peats and
top moss were used. Experiments were carried out under ambient temperature and pressure.
The sorptive capacity, sorptive rate, and height of capillary rise of oil was measured for the
sorbents.
The sorptive capacity of the pure Sphagnum top moss, for both oils, was significantly higher
than that of the two peats. Mixtures of Sphagnum top moss and Sphagnum moss peat also
had relatively high sorptive capacities. Carex peat and mixtures containing predominantly
Carex peat had low sorptive capacities. The sorptive rates differed by both the oil type and
sorbent. All pure component and mixed component sorbents had relatively low sorptive rates
for the higher viscosity Lloydminster oil, and only slightly higher sorptive rates for the lower
viscosity UHC crude oil. Mixing lower sorptive rate materials with higher sorptive rate
materials resulted in lower than expected sorptive rates. In all cases, the height of capillary
rise was found to be significantly higher for the mixed component sorbents than for the pure
component sorbents.
A preliminary cost-benefit assessment suggests that pure Sphagnum top moss, and mixtures
that contain predominantly Sphagnum top moss are relatively inexpensive (0.022 to 0.031
US$/Kg oil sorbed) sorbents, and they may be competitive with common commercial oil
sorbents.Hagen, Timothy S; Malterer, Thomas J; Levar, Thomas E. (1990). Evaluation of Carex Peat, Sphagnum Moss Peat, and Sphagnum Top Moss As Oil Sorbents. Retrieved from the University Digital Conservancy, https://hdl.handle.net/11299/258134
IBM PC Data Acquisition and Processing Software Evaluation
No full textCommercially available software packages for IBM PC-compatibles are evaluated to use for data acquisition and processing work. Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) acquired computers since 1978 to use on shipboard data acquisition (Le. CTD, radiometric, etc.) and data processing. First Hewlett-Packard desktops were used then a transition to the DEC VAXstations, with software developed mostly by the author and others at MLML (Broenkow and Reaves, 1993; Feinholz and Broenkow, 1993; Broenkow et al, 1993). IBM PC were at first very slow and limited in available software, so they were not used in the early days. Improved technology such as higher speed microprocessors and a wide range of commercially available software made use of PC more reasonable today. MLML is making a transition towards using the PC for data acquisition and processing. Advantages are portability and available outside support
