AbstractBacteriological surveys of the crews of both Royal Navy and United States nuclear submarine crews, who were engaged in extended patrols in an isolated environment, revealed an unexpectedly high level of nasopharyngeal meningococci when selective med’a was used and an, as yet, unexplained increase in the level of resistance of the organism to sulphadiazine during the period of patrol.Results from British and United States personnel showed very similar carrier rates, with the exceptions of ant’genic groups and sulphadiazine sensitivity.

Представлены результаты лагранжевого моделирования распространения радиоактивного загрязнения в Уссурийском заливе на различных горизонтах по глубине на основе численной региональной модели циркуляции ROMS с использованием эмпирических данных выпадения радиоактивных осадков из атмосферы на поверхность акватории в день аварии на атомной подводной лодке в бухте Чажма 10 августа 1985 г. Показано, что радиоактивное пятно могло оставаться в Уссурийском заливе в течение первых четырех суток после аварии. Установлено, что эволюция и деформация начального пятна загрязнения на разных горизонтах обусловлены влиянием вихрей разных полярностей и размеров (мезомасштабный циклон в центре залива, субмезомасштабный антициклон на севере и мезомасштабный антициклон на юге) и лагранжевых когерентных структур, связанных с гиперболическими точками в заливе. The results of Lagrangian modeling of the transport of radioactive pollution in the Ussuri Gulf at various depths based on a regional ROMS numerical model of circulation using the empirical data on the radioactive fallout from the atmosphere at the sea surface on the day of the accident at a nuclear submarine in the Chazhma Bay in August 10, 1985. It was shown that the radioactive particles remain in the Ussuri Gulf for the first 4 days after the accident. It has been shown that the evolution and deformation of the initial pollution patch on various horizons was influenced by vortices of different polarity and size in the Ussuri Gulf (a mesoscale cyclone in the center of the Gulf, a sub-mesoscale anticyclone in the north and a mesoscale anticyclone in the south) and by Lagrangian coherent structures connected with hyperbolic points in the Gulf.

In February 2001, the USS Greeneville, a nuclear submarine carrying sixteen “distinguished visitors” as part of a U.S. Navy public relations program, collided with the Ehime Maru, a fisheries training boat operated by Uwajima Fisheries High School, off the coast of Hawaii. Nine Japanese perished, including four high school students. Nearly nine months later, the U.S. Navy succeeded in raising the boat from its deepwater crash site and in locating the bodies of eight victims. This retelling focuses on the ways in which both governments emphasized repeatedly the special emotional needs of Japanese victims’ families and of Japan as a whole. By calling attention to inherent contradictions within these representations as well as to tensions surrounding the victims’ families, it separates emotion itself from its political representation, and suggests that the analytical lens ought to focus on the latter rather than the former.
