Derivation of linearized constitutive equations for plane-strain of an elastic-plastic (strain hardening) material
Arvid M. Johnson
1979, Open-File Report 79-433
The purpose of this report is to derive several of the basic equations for a paper on folding and folding of idealized rock (Johnson, 1979). That paper is based on constitutive equations for an ideal, strain-hardening material defined by Hill (1950, p. 30) and generalized to include Coulomb behavior and...

Relative age of Camelot crater and crater clusters near the Apollo 17 landing site
Baerbel K. Lucchitta
1979, Icarus (37) 46-50
Topographic profiles and depth-diameter ratios from the crater Camelot and craters of the central cluster in the Apollo 17 landing area suggest that these craters are of the same age. Therefore, layers that can be recognized in the deep-drill core and that can be identified as ejecta deposits from Camelot...

Trees as indicators of past movements on the San Andreas Fault
R. E. Wallace, Valmore C. LaMarche Jr.
1979, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (11) 127-131
Trees are sources of information about fault movements that have occurred before the earliest historical reports. This kind of evidence can be used to improve estimates of when earthquakes will recur on faults known to be seismically active and to identify active faults that have no record of movement during...

1979, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (11) 95-101
The Seismological Laboratory at the California Institute of Techonology (Caltech) was founded in 1928 as a result of a study by the Carnegie Institue of Washington. The study was based primarily on a 1916 report by H. O. Wood which recommended that a network of seismic stations be established in...
Geomagnetic paleointensities by the Thelliers' method from submarine pillow basalts: Effects of seafloor weathering
Sherman Gromme, Edward A. Mankinen, Monte Marshall, Robert S. Coe
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (84) 3553-3575
Measurements of geomagnetic paleointensity using the Thelliers' double‐heating method in vacuum have been made on 10 specimens of submarine pillow basalt obtained from 7 fragments dredged from localities 700,000 years old or younger. In the magnetic minerals, the titanium/iron ratio parameter x and the cation deficiency (oxidation) parameter x were determined by X‐ray diffraction...

Henry Spall talked recently with Robert L. Wesson, the new Chief, Office of Earthquake Studies at the U.S Geological Survey National Center, Reston, Va. Wesson has spent altogether almost 1 year in the U.S.S.R, and 6 months of that time in the Garm area of Soviet Tadzhikistan in 1974. ...
Predicting rock bursts in mines
H. Spall
1979, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (11) 89-94
In terms of lives lost, rock bursts in underground mines can be as hazardous as earthquakes on the surface. So it is not surprising that fo the last 40 years the U.S Bureau of Mines has been using seismic methods for detecting areas in underground mines where there is a...

Nesting ecology of Arctic loons
Margaret R. Petersen
1979, The Wilson Bulletin (91) 608-617
Arctic Loons were studied on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, from the time of their arrival in May to their departure in September, in 1974 and 1975. Pairs arrived on breeding ponds as soon as sufficient meltwater was available to allow their take-off and landing. Loons apparently do not initiate nests...
Medication inhibits tolerance to seawater in coho salmon smolts
Gerald R. Bouck, David A. Johnson
1979, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (108) 63-66
Applications of 10 therapeutic and two anesthetic agents to healthy smolts of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) by conventional methods were followed by two different posttreatment circumstances. In condition I, fish were treated and then transferred directly to 28‰ seawater for 10 days; in condition II, fish were treated and held...
