An Eocene submarine boninite series volcanic center isexposed on the island of Chichi-jima, Bonin Islands, Japan. Five rocktypes, boninite, bronzite andesite, dacite, quartz dacite, and rhyolite,were distinguished within the boninite volcanic sequence on the basis ofpetrographic and geochemical observations. Boninite lavas contain highmagnesium, nickel, and chromium contentsindicative of primitive melts,but have high silica contents relative to other mantle-derived magmas.All boninite series lavas contain very low incompatible elementconcentrations, and concentrations of high-field strength elements inprimitive boninite lavas are less than half of those found in depletedmid-ocean ridge basalts. Abundances of large-ion lithophile elements arerelatively high in boninite series lavas, similar to the enrichmentsobserved in many island arc lavas. Trends for both major and traceelement data suggest that the more evolved lavas of the boninite magmaseries were derived primarily through high-level fractionalcrystallization of boninite. Textural features, such as resorption andglomeroporphyrocrysts, and reverse chemical zonations suggest that magmamixing contributed to the development of the quartz dacitelavas.

We present a set of UBV RIzJHKs photometry for 745 J +H band selected objects in a 22:5{prime} x 29:2{prime} region centered on the core of the Coma cluster. This includes 516 galaxies and is at least 80% complete to H = 16, with a spectroscopically complete sample of 111 cluster members (nearly all with morphological classification) for H < 14:5. For each object we present total Kron (1980) magnitudes and aperture photometry. As an example, we use these data to derive color-magnitude relations for Coma early-type galaxies, measure the intrinsic scatter of these relations and its dependence on galaxy mass, and address the issue of color gradients. We find that the color gradients are mild and that the intrinsic scatter about the color-magnitude relation is small ({approx} 0:05 mag in U-V and less than {approx} 0:03 in B-R, V-I, or J-K). There is no evidence that the intrinsic scatter varies with galaxy luminosity, suggesting that the cluster red sequence is established at early epochs over a range of {approx} 100 in stellar mass.

There are numerous documented cases of extraction of fluids from the ground causing surface subsidence. The cases include groundwater, oil and gas, as well as geothermal fluid withdrawal. A recent comprehensive review of all types of man-induced land subsidence was published by the Geological Survey of America. At the early stages of a geothermal power development project it is standard practice in most countries for an environmental impact report to be required. The possibility of geothermal subsidence has to be addressed, and usually it falls on the geophysicists and/or geologists to make some predictions. The advice given is vital for planning the power plant location and the borefield pipe and drain layout. It is not so much the vertical settlement that occurs with subsidence but the accompanying horizontal ground strains that can do the most damage to any man-made structure.

We discuss the technique and results of a measurement of the linear polarization of the Cosmic Background Radiation. Data taken between May 1978 and February 1980 from both the northern hemisphere (Berkeley Lat. 38{sup o}N) and the southern hemisphere (Lima Lat. 12{sup o}s) over 11 declinations from -37{sup o} to +63{sup o} show the radiation to be essentially unpolarized over all areas surveyed. Fitting all data gives the 95% confidence level limit on a linearly polarized component of 0.3 mK for spherical harmonics through third order. A fit of all data to the anisotropic axisymmetric model of Rees (1968) yields a 95% confidence level limit of 0.15 mK for the magnitude of the polarized component. Constraints on various cosmological models are discussed in light of these limits.

The half-lives of a number of selected ground state radioactive nuclides have been evaluated and values have been recommended with uncertainties. These are all preliminary recommendations.

{sup 137}Cs released during 1954-1974 from nuclear production reactors on the Savannah River Site, a US Department of Energy nuclear materials production site in South Carolina, contaminated a portion of the Savannah River floodplain known as Creek Plantation. {sup 137}Cs activity concentrations have been measured in Creek Plantation since 1974 making it possible to calculate effective half-lives for {sup 137}Cs in soil and vegetation and assess the spatial distribution of contaminants on the floodplain. Activity concentrations in soil and vegetation were higher near the center of the floodplain than near the edges as a result of frequent inundation coupled with the presence of low areas that trapped contaminated sediments. {sup 137}Cs activity was highest near the soil surface, but depth related differences diminished with time as a likely result of downward diffusion or leaching. Activity concentrations in vegetation were significantly related to concentrations in soil. The plant to soil concentration ratio (dry weight) averaged 0.49 and exhibited a slight but significant tendency to decrease with time. The effective half-lives for {sup 137}Cs in shallow (0-7.6 cm) soil and in vegetation were 14.9 (95% CI = 12.5-17.3) years and 11.6 (95% CI = 9.1-14.1) years, respectively, and rates of {sup 137}Cs …

Helium trapping by Ti-rich MC particles is characterized by first, the formation of a high concentration of tiny cavities at the interfaces and secondly, a cavity denuded zone that extends into the surrounding matrix. Very few cavities form on other phases in the system when MC is present. The trapping is effective in HFIR from at least 370 to 600/sup 0/C. The phases produced in unmodified steel do not exhibit this type of strong helium trapping. This trapping helps minimize the swelling for a given amount of helium. Compositionally, MC is strongly enriched in Ti, Mo, V, and Nb and depleted in Si, Ni, Cr, and Fe, both thermally and after irradiation in HFIR. The compositional behavior of MC is unusual because phases that are stabilized by irradiation are generally enriched in Si and/or Ni. The data are obtained using quantitative x-ray EDS for particles on extraction replicas. The microstructural and compositional information is examined with respect to concepts or trends from several theories to begin to understand the nature of the helium trapping.

Determinations of {alpha}{sub s} are reviewed. Current results are limited to a precision of around 3--20%, largely by theoretical uncertainties. All measurements are consistent with a world average value of 0.118 {+-} 0.005 and there is no evidence of any discrepancy between low-Q{sup 2} and high-Q{sup 2} results. 71 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.

This paper describes the observation and partial wave analysis of 1203 (22 GeV) ..pi../sup -/p ..-->.. phi phi n events. This is an OZI suppressed channel in which the OZI suppression is found to be absent. Assuming QCD and the OZI rule as Ansatzen, it is concluded that the breakdown of the OZI suppression is due to glueballs. The g/sub T/(2160) and the g/sub T/(2320) with I/sup G/J/sup PC/ = 0/sup +/2/sup + +/ are two resonances determined from the partial wave analysis. It is concluded that one or two primary glueballs with the above quantum numbers are responsible for the observed two states. A brief discussion of other glueball candidates and some relevant phenomenology is also included.

This paper discusses gas chemical equilibria in geothermal reservoirs involving the species CO{sub 2}, CH{sub 4}, CO, H{sub 2}S, H{sub 2}, and H{sub 2}O. A set of equations is developed correlating ratios of gas to CO{sub 2} with temperature, steam fraction, and CO{sub 2} partial pressure in the reservoir. A method for solving the set of nonlinear equations is proposed. These equations do not involve discharge gas/total H{sub 2}O ratios and may therefore be used for fumaroles and hot-spring fluids. Applications to fumarole and well-discharge fluid compositions in Italian geothermal fields show good correlations between temperatures calculated with this method and the temperatures measured in the reservoir (between 140° to 330°C). 5 tabs., 1 fig., 19 refs.

This paper discusses the specification of electricity demand and price equations for manufacturing industries and presents empirical results, based on the data for 16 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) three-digit industries from 1959 to 1976. Performances of estimated coefficients for the equations are evaluated by sample-period simulation tests. The estimated coefficients are then used to forecast electricity demand by industry and also to conduct multiplier-simulation analysis. Preliminary results show that most of the estimated coefficients have the expected signs and are statistically significant. The estimated equations perform well in terms of sample-period simulation tests, registering small mean absolute percentage errors and mean square percentage errors. Forecasted results indicate that total electricity demand for the sector will grow at an average annual rate of 3.4% from 1977 to 1990 with a wide range of variation in the growth rates of individual industries. Results from multiplier simulation analyses reveal that changes in the price of natural gas, the value added, and the costs of generating electricity will affect future industrial demand for electricity substantially.

This study demonstrates a feasible way to determine the nuclear material inventory of solvent extraction columns for calculating material balances without process shutdowns. An existing computer code, SEPHIS, was used to calculate the inventories in the solvent extraction cycles of a uranium recovery process. The applicability of the method was tested using published data on the uranium concentration profiles of solvent extraction pulse columns. The application of this method to the extraction cycles of the uranium recovery process is presented for daily uranium loss monitoring over those process units.

A recently completed project for the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Building Equipment combined DOE-2 results for a large set of prototypical commercial and residential buildings with data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) residential and commercial energy consumption surveys (RECS, CBECS) to estimate the total heating and cooling loads in U.S. buildings attributable to different shell components such as windows, roofs, walls, etc., internal processes, and space-conditioning systems. This information is useful for estimating the national conservation potentials for DOE's research and market transformation activities in building energy efficiency. The prototypical building descriptions and DOE-2 input files were developed from 1986 to 1992 to provide benchmark hourly building loads for the Gas Research Institute (GRI) and include 112 single-family, 66 multi-family, and 481 commercial building prototypes. The DOE study consisted of two distinct tasks : (1) perform DOE-2 simulations for the prototypical buildings and develop methods to extract the heating and cooling loads attributable to the different building components; and (2) estimate the number of buildings or floor area represented by each prototypical building based on EIA survey information. These building stock data were then multiplied by the simulated component loads to derive aggregated totals by region, …

Tests of the non-relativistic potential model for bound b anti b states are discussed, using results from the Crystal Ball and ARGUS detectors at DORIS II (DESY) and the CUSB and CLEO detectors at CESR (Cornell). There are many many people who have developed potential models. While the author tries to be complete in reviewing the experimental data, he limits his discussion of potentials to a few contrasting examples. The talk is divided into two main parts. In the first he discusses the /sup 3/S/sub 1/ b anti b states UPSILON, UPSILON', ..., whose measured masses, leptonic widths, and leptonic branching ratios are used to check the static potential V(r) and the strong coupling constant ..cap alpha../sub 3/. In the second part, results on the /sup 3/P, b anti b states chi/sub b/, chi'/sub b/ are used to check the spin dependence of the potential. There are several other classes of states (c anti c, s anti s, c anti q, b anti q, and the as-yet-not seen eta/sub b/ and /sup 1/P/sub 1/ of the b anti b family) which are also important in testing the potential model, but which he did not cover in this talk. 47 references.

{Lambda} binding energy data for total baryon number A {le} 208 and for {Lambda} angular momenta {ell}{sub {Lambda}} {le} 3 are analyzed in terms of phenomenological (but generally consistent with meson-exchange) {Lambda}N and {Lambda}NN potentials. The Fermi-Hypernetted-Chain technique is used to calculate the expectation values for the {Lambda} binding to nuclear matter. Accurate effective {Lambda}N and {Lambda}NN potentials are obtained which are folded with the core nucleus nucleon densities to calculate the {Lambda} single particle potential U{sub {Lambda}}(r). We use a dispersive {Lambda}NN potential but also include an explicit {rho} dependence to allow for reduced repulsion in the surface, and the best fits have a large {rho} dependence giving consistency with the variational Monte Carlo calculations for {sub {Lambda}}{sup 5}He. The exchange fraction of the {Lambda}N space-exchange potential is found to be 0.2-0.3 corresponding to m{sub {Lambda}}* {approx_equal} (0.74-0.82)m{sub {Lambda}}. Charge symmetry breaking is found to be significant for heavy hypernuclei with a large neutron excess, with a strength consistent with that obtained from the A = 4 hypernuclei.

The bioavailability and ultimate fate of heavy metals in the environment are controlled by chemical sorption. To assess competitive sorption of Pb and Cd, batch equilibrium experiments (generating sorption isotherms) and kinetics sorption studies were performed using single and binary metal solutions in surface samples of four soils from central Spain. For comparisons between soils, as well as, single and binary metal solutions, soil chemical processes were characterized using the Langmuir equation, ionic strength, and an empirical power function for kinetic sorption. In addition, soil pH and clay mineralogy were used to explain observed sorption processes. Sorption isotherms were well described by the Langmuir equation and the sorption kinetics were well described by an empirical power function within the reaction times in this study. Soils with higher pH and clay content (characterized by having smectite) had the greatest sorption capacity as estimated by the maximum sorption parameter (Q) of the Langmuir equation. All soils exhibited greater sorption capacity for Pb than Cd and the presence of both metals reduced the tendency for either to be sorbed although Cd sorption was affected to a greater extent than that of Pb. The Langmuir binding strength parameter (k) was always greater for Pb …
