In recent years a lot of investigations have been made on this subject. E.g. Maciel and co-workers 41,42) found that several of the most prominent signals in the CP/M AS NMR spectra can be tentatively assigned for Norway spruce lignin to specific carbon atoms in the phenyl propane unit. Further also in the solid state the signals at about 105 ppm are indicative of hardwood.

Odour strength measurements in Norway have indicated reduction efficiensies up to 83 per cent when a completely new filter was used. An old filter, which had been used twice as long as the manufacturer had recommended, showed, however, reduction efficiencies of 72 per cent.

Field results indicate that bromethalin bait was exceptionally effective against both Norway rats and house mouse populations. Bait acceptance was excellent with no signs of bait-shyness observed. 

The mineral on which I made the following experiments is found m the syenite on the island of Lovo near Brevig, Norway. It was discovered by the pastor Esmarck, son of Jens Esmarck, famous professor at the University of Christiania. It is the latter who sent me a specimen, asking me to examine it, because, On account of its high specific gravity, he believed it to be the earth of tantalum. This mineral is black, with no indication of crystalline form or texture, and looks exactly like gadolinite from Ytterby, the exterior presents sometimes a thin rust-colored surface layer (12). 

Occurrence and Rates of Sulfate Reduction. Sulfate reduction is widespread in lakes, as evidenced by depletion of sulfate in sediment pore waters. Pore-water profiles showing depletion of sulfate have been published for more than 35 lakes (e.g., 98, 99). An absence of sulfate depletion in pore waters does not indicate an absence of sulfate reduction. Sulfate depletion was not evident in pore waters of McNearney Lake, but stable isotope measurements indicated that low rates of sulfate reduction must occur (1). Sulfate depletion was noted in 15 of 17 lakes in northeastern North America and Norway (80, 98), but uptake of 35S042 occurred even in two lakes in which no sulfate depletion was observed. Sulfate production and reduction can occur concurrently, and the former may exceed the latter. 

Fig. 1.6 Effect of adenosine, CPA and 2-C1-IB-MECA at the concentrations indicated on lung parenchymal strips prepared from actively sensitised Brown Norway rats 3 h post intratracheal instillation of ovalbumin (0.3 mg kg 1 filled columns) or saline (open columns). Responses are expressed relative to the response to bethanechol (100 pM) which was taken as 100%. Mean values ( SEM) from the number of individual experiments shown in parentheses are presented. P < 0.05, P < 0.001 that the value differs significantly from the equivalent value in the saline challenged group (from Wolber and Fozard 2005, with permission)...

For methane hydrate, the minimum water depth is 381 m in freshwater and upto 436 m in seawater, respectively, at 277 K. In the world s oceans at water depths greater than 600 m, the temperature is typically uniform at 277 K, due to the density maximum in seawater. Lower bottom water temperature exceptions can be found with strong subbottom currents from Antarctic and Arctic environments such as the north of Norway or Russia. Methane-phase equilibrium data in Chapter 6, indicate that 3.81 MPa are required to stabilize methane hydrates at 277.1 K. Using the rule of thumb 1 MPa = 100 m water, hydrates in pure water would be stable at depths greater than 381 m. 

For zearalenone, a Position Paper produced by Norway was finalised in the 2000 CCFAC, and this delegation is also elaborating a draft Code of Practice for the Prevention of Contamination of Cereals by Zearalenone.16 Whereas the draft Code of Practice will be circulated for comments at step 3, there is no indication that an ML will be proposed in the near future. 

Measurements of SO in Southern Norway diving the months of May, June and July (Clark, P.A., Central Electricity Research Laboratories, personal communication) indicate that it is reasonable to consider that on average, polluted air leaving the East Coast of England and Scotland derives from emissions from one large conurbation and one 2000 MW power station. The consequence of above-average levels of pollution are also investigated. 

It should not be assumed that anomalous concentrations necessarily indicate contamination. Bolviken and Lag (1977) have described areas in Norway where the absence of vegetation is due to the toxic effects of high concentrations of metals in soils as a result of weathering of sulphide ores close to the surface. This is a natural process having nothing to do with contamination. 

In conclusion, the results obtained with the BN rat model up to date at different laboratories indicate that the BN rat might be a useful model to study the potential oral allergenicity of novel food proteins. However, further testing with either more allergenic and nonallergenic whole foods or with purified allergenic and nonaller-genic proteins will be needed to further evaluate and validate this Brown Norway rat model.
