Prospects for earthquake prediction and control
J. H. Healy, W.H.K. Lee, L. C. Pakiser, C.B. Raleigh, M.D. Wood
1972, Tectonophysics (14) 319-332
The San Andreas fault is viewed, according to the concepts of seafloor spreading and plate tectonics, as a transform fault that separates the Pacific and North American plates and along which relative movements of 2 to 6 cm/year have been taking place. The resulting strain can be released by creep,...
Atomic displacements in ferroelectric trigonal and orthorhombic boracite structures
Eric Dowty, J. R. Clark
1972, Solid State Communications (10) 543-548
New crystal-structure refinements of Pca21 boracite, Mg3ClB7O13, and Rϵc ericaite, Fe2.4Mg0.6ClB7O13, show that some boron and oxygen atoms are involved in the ‘ferro’ transitions as well as the metal and halogen atoms. The atomic displacements associated with the polarity changes are as large as 0.6Å....

Samples returned from the Apollo 15 site consist of mare basalts and breccias with a variety of premare igneous rocks. The mare basalts are from at least two different lava flows. The bulk chemical compositions and textures of these rocks confirm the previous conclusion that the lunar maria consist of...
Fluorination of 1,2,3-, 1,2,4-, and 1,3,5-trihalobenzenes with potassium fluoride in dimethyl sulfone
R.H. Shiley, D. R. Dickerson, G. C. Finger
1972, Journal of Fluorine Chemistry (2) 19-26
Three trifluorobenzenes were prepared by reaction of the corresponding trichlorobenzenes with potassium fluoride or pottassium fluoride-cesium fluoride mixtures in dimethyl sulfone. Molar yields were 12.8% for 1,2,3-, 8.3% for 1,2,4-, and 56.2% for 1,3,5-. Improved yields of the 1,2,3- (23.9%) and the 1,2,4-...
Radiative-neutron-capture gamma-ray analysis by a linear combination technique
A.B. Tanner, R.C. Bhargava, F. E. Senftle, J.M. Brinkerhoff
1972, Nuclear Instruments and Methods (102) 61-72
The linear combination technique, when applied to a gamma-ray spectrum, gives a single number indicative of the extent to which the spectral lines of a sought element are present in a complex spectrum. Spectra are taken of the sought element and of various...
Mass spectrometric analysis of organic compounds, water and volatile constituents in the atmosphere and surface of Mars: The Viking Mars Lander
Duwayne M. Anderson, K. Biemann, Leslie E. Orgel, John Oro, Tobias Owen, Garson P. Shulman, Priestley Toulmin III, H. C. Urey
1972, Icarus (16) 111-138
An experiment centering around a mass spectrometer is described, which is aimed at the identification of organic substances present in the top 10 cm of the surface of Mars and an analysis of the atmosphere for major and minor constituents as well as isotopic abundances. In addition, an indication of...
Electron microprobe evaluation of terrestrial basalts for whole-rock K-Ar dating
E. A. Mankinen, G. Brent Dalrymple
1972, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (17) 89-94
Four basalt samples for whole-rock K-Ar dating were analyzed with an electron microprobe to locate potassium concentrations. Highest concentrations of potassium were found in those mineral phases which were the last to crystallize. The two reliable samples had potassium concentrated in fine-grained...
Imaging experiment: The Viking Mars orbiter
M. H. Carr, W.A. Baum, G.A. Briggs, H. Masursky, D.W. Wise, D. R. Montgomery
1972, Icarus (16) 17-33
The general objectives of the Imaging Experiment on the Viking Orbiter are to aid the selection of Viking Lander sites, to map and monitor the chosen sites during lander operations, to aid in the selection of future landing sites, and to extend our...
Lunar "dunite", "pyroxenite" and "anorthosite"
H. G. Wilshire, E.D. Jackson
1972, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (16) 396-400
Monomineralic aggregates of olivine, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene and plagioclase with granoblastic textures are widespread minor constituents of Apollo 14 breccias. Recrystallization is commonly incomplete within these aggregates, leaving relict material that clearly indicates single-mineral-grain sources for the aggregates. The aggregates are not, therefore, properly characterized by igneous rock names, nor can...
The martian atmosphere: Mariner 9 television experiment progress report
C.B. Leovy, G.A. Briggs, A.T. Young, B.A. Smith, James B. Pollack, E.N. Shipley, R.L. Wildey
1972, Icarus (17) 373-393
Atmospheric phenomena appearing in the Mariner 9 television pictures are discussed in detail. The surface of the planet was heavily obscured by a global dust storm during the first month in orbit. Brightness data during this period can be fitted by a semi-infinite...
Oil development and conservation in Arctic America
J. C. Reed
1972, Biological Conservation (4) 369-371
As in his earlier article to which reference is made, the author stresses the need for more background information and a much greater research effort before problems of environmental protection from oil developments in northern Alaska can be effectively tackled. Meanwhile, there...
Mariner 9 television observations of Phobos and Deimos
James B. Pollack, J. Veverka, M. Noland, C. Sagan, W.K. Hartmann, T. C. Duxbury, G.H. Born, D.J. Milton, B.A. Smith
1972, Icarus (17) 394-407
Mariner 9 photographs of Phobos and Deimos have yielded new information about the orbits, rotation periods, sizes, shapes, and surface characteristics of the satellites. Both satellites appear to be in synchronous rotation. They are irregular, heavily cratered bodies whose shapes appear to have been determined largely by impact fragmentation and...
Geological framework of the south polar region of Mars
B. C. Murray, L.A. Soderblom, J.A. Cutts, R.P. Sharp, D.J. Milton, R.B. Leighton
1972, Icarus (17) 328-345
The first 4 months of Mariner 9 photography of the south polar region are discussed. Three major geological units have been recognized, separated by erosional unconformities. From oldest to youngest they are: cratered terrain, pitted plains, and laminated terrain. The latter unit is unique in occurrence to the polar region,...
Structural profile of the northwestern Caribbean
William P. Dillon, J. G. Vedder, R.J. Graf
1972, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (17) 175-180
A seismic reflection and gravity profile across the continental margin of the Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Basin, Cayman Ridge, and Cayman Trough suggests that sediments in the Yucatan Basin consist of a thick succession of beds dominated by turbidites that overlie a thick but irregular sequence of beds, probably dominated by...
The geologic setting of the Luna 16 landing site
J.F. McCauley, D. H. Scott
1972, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (13) 225-232
The Luna 16 landing site is similar in its geologic setting to Apollos 11 and 12. All three sites are located on basaltic mare fill which occurs mostly within multi-ring basins formed by impact earlier in the moon's history. A regolith developed...
Biscalitheca suzanneana, N. Sp., from the uppermost Pennsylvanian of Texas
S.H. Mamay
1972, Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology (14) 141-147
Biscalitheca suzanneana, n. sp., is described from specimens found in an uppermost Pennsylvanian deposit in north-central Texas. The genus was identified primarily on the basis of impressions of the unique sporangial annuli. The occurrence establishes for Biscalitheca a stratigraphic range equivalent to nearly the entire...
Accumulation of dieldrin in an alga (Scenedesmus obliquus), Daphnia magna, and the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
Robert E. Reinert
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 1413-1418
Scenedesmus obliquus, Daphnia magna, and Poecilia reticulata accumulated dieldrin directly from water; average concentration factors (concentration in organism, dry weight, divided by concentration in water) were 1282 for the alga, 13,954 for D. magna, and 49,307 (estimated) for the guppy. The amount accumulated by each species at equilibrium (after about...
Feeding behavior of lake whitefish and lake herring in Torch Lake, Michigan
Peter J. Colby, George N. Washburn
1972, Progressive Fish-Culturist (34) 151
It is proposed that Haemoproteus nettionis (Johnston and Cleland, 1909) Coatney, 1936 be accepted as the correct name for the Haemoproteus of Anatidae. A list of synonyms and amended description of the parasite is given. Infections are reported from wood ducks (Aix sponsa) and from domestic ducks and geese, the...
