    Notes: Abstract Agricultural management in Cades Cove, an historic district in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, has affected natural resources both within the district and in the adjoining natural areas. Aquatic impacts of haying and cattle grazing included increases in water temperatures, turbidity, nutrient loading, and bacterial counts and decreases in benthic macroinvertebrate density and fish biomass. Wildlife populations, including groundhogs, wild turkeys, and white-tailed deer, have increased in the open fields and around the periphery of the historic district. Intensive deer foraging has removed deciduous seedlings and saplings from woodlots, lowering species diversity and favoring coniferous reproduction. Cades Cove has limestone habitats unique in the park, and both deer browse and cattle grazing may have disturbed populations of rare plant species. Effects on water quality are detectable at a campground 15 stream km from the agricultural area, and the effects of deer foraging extend about 1 km beyond the open fields. Since “historic landscape” preservation is presently a goal of the park, managing for open vistas in Cades Cove will require some sort of continuing disturbance. Conversion of cattle pastures to hayfields would reduce aquatic impacts but the deer herd might increase as a result of reduced competition for forage. Retarding old field succession would increase populations of native plant species dependent on sunlight, but would require government-funded mowing. Other options are discussed. Completely eliminating the effects of the historic district on adjoining areas may be impossible, at least under present economic constraints.

    Notes: Alkali treatment of corn stover improves the avaliability of cellulose and hemicellulose for enzymatic attack. Treatments were carried out for 1 to 60 min at temperatures and NaOH concentrations ranging from 100 to 150°C and 0 to 2%, respectively. Solubilization of the stover and sugar production by enzymatic hydrolysis (Trichoderma viride cellulase) of the solid residue and the dissolved solids were used to measure the effect of caustic treatment. At 150°C and 2% NaOH concentration, 65% of the original stover was dissolved after 5 min and 52% saccharificatin (g sugar/g stover) of the residue and dissolved solids by enzymatic hydrolysis was achieved compared to 20% for untreated corn stover.

    Description / Table of Contents: Anodic corrosion processes on steels in inert and oxidising atmospheresThe purpose of the investigation here described was to find out to what extent electrochemical techniques lend themselves to the examination of steel corrosion in the presence of molten sulphates and combustion gases. The measured equilibrium potentials of an inert metal electrode are intended to serve for the determination of the redox potential in the salt melt/combustion gases system. If no current is flowing, the stationary potential of a platinum electrode in a sulphate melt at 600° C can be expressed by the equation \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm E} = 0.712 + 0.088\log {\rm PS0}_{\rm 2} \cdot {\rm P0}_{\rm 2} $$\end{document} where E signifies the potential related to the silver/silver sulphate electrode, and pSO2 pO2 the partial pressures (in atmospheres) of the two gases in an inert gas (nitrogen + carbon dioxide). The formula permits the conclusion that the electrode reaction can be expressed by the equilibrium condition .The anode currents set up if the potential of a mild steel or pure iron electrode is kept at the above-mentioned temperature viz. -0.3 V with N2 + CO2 + 5% O2, or + 0.4 V with N2 + CO2 + 0.2% SO2, show that under the test conditions, these metals would be greatly exposed to corrosion. Stainless steels become passive after a few hours although a residual corrosion current at + 0.4 V remains. These observations give rise to the expectation that electro-chemical examinations may well represent a useful means of examining corrosion phenomena caused by molten salts in the presence of combustion gases, so that they merit more detailed investigation.
    Notes: Durch die beschriebene Untersuchung sollten geprüft, wie weit sich elektrochemische Techniken für die Untersuchung der Korrosion von Stahl in Gegenwart von geschmolzenen Sulfaten und von Verbrennungsgasen eignen. Die gemessenen Gleichgewichtpotentiale einer inerten Metallelektrode sollen zur Feststellung des Redox-Potentials im System Salzschmelze/Verbrennungsgase dienen. Das stationäre Potential einer Platinelektrode in einer Sulfatschmelze an 600° C läßt sich - für den Fall, daß kein Strom fließt - darstellen durch die Gleichung \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm E} = 0,712 + 0,088\log {\rm PS0}_{\rm 2} \cdot {\rm P0}_{\rm 2} $$\end{document} wobei E dem Potential, bezogen auf die Silber/Silbersulfat-Elektrode und pSO2 pO2 wie pO2 den Partialdrücken (in at) der beiden Gase in einem Trägergas (Stickstoff + Kohlendioxyd) entsprechen. Die Formel erlaubt den Schluß, daß die Elektrodereaktion durch das Gleichgewicht darstellbar ist.Die Anodenströme, die fließen, wenn das Potential eines Flußstahls oder einer Elektrode aus der oben genannten Temperatur befindlichen Sulfatschmelze konstant gehalten wird (-0,3 V bie N2 + CO2 + 5% O2, bzw. + 0,4 V bei N2 + CO2 + 0,2% SO2), zeigen, daß diese Metalle unter den Bedingungen des Versuches stark angegriffen wurden. Rostfreie Stähle werden nach wenigen Stunden passiv obwohl ein Korrosions-Reststrom bei + 0,4 V verbleibt. Diese Beobachtungen lassen vermuten, daß elektrochemische Untersuchungen ein durchaus nützliches Mittel zur Untersuchungen der Korrosion durch geschmolzene Salze in Gegenwart von Verbrennungsgasen können und daher eingehender untersucht werden sollten.
