    Notes:
    We describe the apparatus, instrumentation, and data acquisition techniques which make up the micromagnetic scanning microprobe system (MSMS). This system was developed to study magnetoresistive (MR) thin films used in magnetic recording read heads. It uses a dc, four-probe resistance measurement coupled with two pairs of orthogonal field sources. Voltage contacts to the thin film are made with microprobe tips 0.1 μm in diameter on local edge and central regions of the film. Horizontal and vertical microscopes are used to verify tip placement. Results from magnetoresistance measurements of the dynamic response of a MR read head film are shown to demonstrate system operation and performance. The bulk and local magnetoresistance of a 10 μm×10 μm NiFe thin film was measured as a function of applied field and angle. Significant variations in MR responses were seen across the width of the device because of local domain formation. The MSMS is an effective tool for characterizing the effects of domain formation on the output of a MR read head.

    Notes:
    Taxonomic distribution and Vibrio parahaemolyticus count of 36 samples of zooplankton and four samples of phytoplankton are presented. In nearly all samples, immature forms of zooplankton accounted for more than 50% of the zooplankton population; Nitzschia, Coscinodiscus, Navicula and Thalassiosira species were present in each of the four phytoplankton samples. Mean V. parahaemolyticus counts (MPN/g) of 7,500 and 670 were detected in zooplankton and phytoplankton, respectively.

    Notes:
    Of 703 suspect V. parahaemolyticus isolates from TCBS plates, representing oyster, water, and sediment samples, 319 (45%) were confirmed as V. parahaemolyticus. The most common reason for suspect colonies to fail confirmation was their ability to grow in trypticase peptone broth with 10% NaCL When 922 confirmed isolates were tested serologically 72 (7.8%) were typable. The most predominant serotype was 05:K17. Of 2218 confirmed isolates from marine sources only 0.18% were Kanagawa positive.

    Notes:
    Of 153 samples of oysters, water and sediment tested 94 (61.4%) were positive for V. parahaemolyticus. In 87% of the positive oyster samples the level of V. parahaemolyticus was 〈 100 per g. Standard Plate Counts of oysters ranged from 5.0 × 103 to 〉 3.0 × 107 (mean 2.5 × 106) per g, Aerobic Plate Counts from 3.0 × lo3 to 〉 3.0 × 107 (mean 1.8 × 106) per g. No seasonal distribution of V. parahaemolyticus was apparent. No statistically significant relationship existed between V. parahaemolyticus count of oysters and bacteriological (Standard Plate Count, Aerobic Plate Count, coliform, fecal coliform and E. coli counts) and environmental parameters (water temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved O2, sampling depth, tide, wind and rainfall).

    Notes:
    Levels of V. parahaemolyticus did not increase greatly in most samples of shellstock held for 3 days at 25°C while total bacterial counts frequently increased l–2 logs. The data from nine market surveys indicated that V. parahaemolyticus counts of oysters usually decreased during processing and subsequent storage. On the other hand, Standard Plate Counts increased in the majority of samples after storage at refrigeration temperatures. V. parahaemolyticus counts of composite samples (12 oysters) usually were lower than the mean count of the individual oysters.
