Notes: Final state distributions and state-specific reaction cross sections for 1.5–6 keV He2+/K collisions have been determined from data acquired using both neutralized ion beam spectroscopy and direct observation of luminescence from decay of excited collision products. While several minor reaction channels can be identified, it is found that near-resonant processes yielding He2(a 3Σu+) and He2(A 1Σu+) are predominant. These major channels, both of which have cross sections in excess of 100 A(ring)2, lead to substantial production of energetic metastable molecules and VUV continuum radiation extending from about 750 to 850 A(ring).

Notes: Abstract The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources conducted a pilot study during the summer of 1991 to determine the extent of mercury (Hg) exposure in common loons (Gavia immer) breeding in Wisconsin. Loons are at risk to elevated Hg exposure in Wisconsin because they often nest on acidified, low alkalinity lakes. Fish from these lakes bioaccumulate MeHg to a greater extent than biota from neutral pH lakes. Using nightlighting techniques, 35 adult loons were captured on 20 northern Wisconsin lakes (pH=5.0–8.7) in 1991. Blood and feather samples were collected for Hg analysis. The mean Hg content of blood cells collected from adult loons on low pH lakes (pH≤6.3) was significantly greater than the Hg content of adult loons collected on neutral/alkaline pH lakes (pH〉-7.0) (F=19.87, P〈0.001). There was a highly significant negative linear relationship between adult loon blood cell Hg concentrations and lake pH (r2=0.38, F=15.27, P〉0.001); indicating loons nesting on low pH lakes receive greater Hg exposure than loons nesting on neutral pH lakes. The relationship was greater amongst adult males (r2=0.56) than amongst adult females (r2=0.36). Because of this documented exposure, an additional 330 loons were captured 1992-94 on 73 lakes in northern Wisconsin. The Hg exposure of adult and juvenile common loons is being quantified. Individual loons were fitted with unique color-coded leg bands, and the 1992–96 reproductive performance, apnual return rates, and nesting behavior of adult loons with the known Hg exposure is currently being assessed.
