The concept of electron activity and its relation to redox potentials in aqueous geochemical systems
D.C. Thorstenson
1984, Open-File Report 84-72
The definition of a formal thermodynamic activity of electrons in redox reactions appears in the literature of the 1920's. The concept of pe as -log (electron activity) was introduced by Jorgensen in 1945 and popularized in the geochemical literature by Sillen, who considered pe and pH as master variables in...

Interpretation of core and well log physical property data from drill hole UPH-3, Stephenson County, Illinois
J.J. Daniels, G.R. Olhoeft, J. H. Scott
1984, Open-File Report 82-941
Laboratory and well log physical property measurements show variations in the mineralogy with depth in UPH-3. Gamma ray values generally decrease with depth in the drill hole, corresponding to a decrease in the felsic mineral components of the granite. Correspondingly, an increase with depth in mafic minerals in the granite...
