The Pathogenicity of Neoaplectana carpocapsae to Blackfly Larvae - D. P. Molloy; Gaugler, R. R.; H. Jamnback (Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1980)
Laboratory assays indicated that infective-stage juveniles of Neoaplectana carpocapsae are highly pathogenic to Simulium spp. larvae. Instar susceptibility increased with larval size, with early instars being nonsusceptible. High rates of mortality (75 – 100%) were achieved in assays against late instars. These results indicate that N. carpocapsae may have potential value as a blackfly biocontrol agent.

Feeding of Neomysis mercedis (Holmes) - C. A. Siegfried; Kopache, M.E. (Biological Bulletin, 1980)
The diet of the opossum shrimp, Neomysis mercedis, in the Sacramento River Estuary was studied in relation to food availability, i.e., plankton, from January through November, 1976. The composition of the diet of N. mercedis varied in relation to mysid size and prey availability. Mysids exhibited strong positive selection for the large diatom prey species while "avoiding" small diatom prey. Although diatoms were the most abundant prey identified from the guts of specimens of N. mercedis it was determined that predation on rotifers and copepods accounted for > 80% of the energy consumed by other-than-juvenile mysids (≥7 mm in length). Juvenile mysids (≤ 3 mm in length) ingested rotifers when rotifers were abundant but were not found to consume copepods. Laboratory feeding experiments indicate a density-dependent feeding by N. mercedis on copepods, i.e., as copepod density increases mysid predation on copepods also increases. Feeding observations indicate that N. mercedis is not a particularly active predator, capturing prey drawn into its feeding current but not actively pursuing prey. N. mercedis appears to feed continuously, with a peak in activity for mature mysids during darkness, a pattern not apparent in immature mysids. Consumption of the detritus was not considered significant. Although herbivory may be of direct importance during the spring diatom increase, carnivory was the major source of energy for N. mercedis in the Sacramento River during 1976.

Seasonal Abundance and Distribution of Crangon franciscorum and Palaemon macrodactylus (Decapoda, Caridae) in the San Francisco Bay Delta - C. A. Siegfried (Biological Bulletin, 1980)
The seasonal abundance and distribution of the native caridean shrimp, Crangon franciscorum, and the introduced shrimp, Palaemon macrodactylus, in the channel areas of the San Francisco Bay Delta were studied from April, 1977, through October, 1978. C. franciscorum reproduces earlier in the year and grows to a larger size than P. macrodactylus. C. franciscorum reproduction occurs from December to June in the high salinity waters of San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. P. macrodactylus reproduction occurs from May to September in the delta as well as in higher salinity habitats. Length-weight and length-fecundity relationships differ significantly between the two shrimp. Both shrimp are limited upstream by low salinities, few shrimp occurring at salinities < 1‰. The downstream distribution of these shrimp is related to prey availability, i.e., Neomysis mercedis abundance. Indices of spatial overlap, or interspecies patchiness, indicate a high degree of overlap which varied seasonally and exhibited markedly different patterns in 1977 and 1978. Directional crowding (intraspecific patchiness) also differed between 1977 and 1978. P. macrodactylus appears more tolerant of varied environmental conditions than C. franciscorum, occurring in the same habitats and also in additional ones not utilized by C. franciscorum. This may give P. macrodactylus a competitive advantage when trophic resources become limiting.

The State-Federal Partnership in Siting of Nuclear Power Plants - Davis, J. F.; Slossen, J. E.; R. H. Fakundiny (Reviews in Engineering Geology, 1979)
Geology and seismology studies are becoming increasingly important in nuclear power plant siting decisions. Earthquake hazard assessment is perhaps the most challenging application of these disciplines to siting. Techniques for determination of the probabilities of damaging earthquakes and forecasting of seismic events need further development before they can be routinely applied as prescribed standards to power plant siting. Although the plate-tectonics model provides a functional explanation for the loci of earthquake activity along plate boundaries, the genesis of seismicity within lithospheric plates is less well understood. The seismic potential of numerous mapped, geologic structures in many portions of the North American continent are still matters of conjecture and disagreement. The current siting criteria provide a normative procedure for establishing seismic design bases using the regional earthquake history and structural geology, together with detailed observations at the site. This process of prescribed analysis can, and has, led different investigators to contrasting conclusions. States review the seismic design conclusions of the applicant utility and the safety evaluations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Outside of the utilities and the NRC, the States are virtually the only other entities with scientific expertise that regularly participate in the siting process. The State role is usually advisory and nonregulatory. States contribute extensive knowledge of regional geology and seismicity to the decision-making process. Increasingly, the State geological surveys provide comments and suggestions to the Federal government and to utilities at an early enough stage so that an extensive and helpful dialogue precedes the State's ultimate, formal review of siting reports. In this discussion, we examine the State roles in determining the site-specific seismic-design bases for nuclear power plants. We consider the roles and perspectives of other parties as well. The scientific and procedural limitations that affect the siting process are analyzed. Finally, recommendations are made to improve the manner in which conclusions about seismic hazards at nuclear power plant sites are presented.

The Early and Middle Archaic in New York as Seen from the Upper Susquehanna River Valley, New York - Funk, R. E. (Bulletin, Journal of the New York State Archaeological Association, 1979)
Brennan has provided us with a position paper designed to elicit our responses on the Early Archaic period as currently known in New York State. I will address my remarks to some of the issues he raises and will also consider other aspects of the subject in the light of contributions made by our current program of research in the Upper Susquehanna Valley. This paper is concerned chiefly with the following problems: 1) The identifying or diagnostic traits of Early to Middle Archaic complexes; 2) The external relationships of these complexes; 3) Relative and absolute chronology, i.e. the position of traits and complexes in the northeastern developmental sequence and their age in 14C years; 4) The geographic distribution of traits and complexes in relation to possible routes of migration or diffusion; 5) The density or abundance of surviving lithic remains as compared to other periods, with implications for estimates of population size.

Description and Bionomics of Mesomermis camdenensis n. sp. (Mermithidae), A Parasite of Black Flies (Simuliidae) - D. P. Molloy (Journal of Nematology, 1979)
Mesomermis camdenensis n. sp. is described from larvae of Simulium tuberosum (lundstroem) collected in Camden Valley Creek, Washington County, New York. This species possesses a barrel-shaped vagina, vulval flap. two short separate spicules, terminal mouth, six longitudinal chords, six cephalic papillae, large sexually dimorpbic anaphids, an esophagns of uniform width which extends for less than one-third of the body length, and a cone-shaped tail directed ventrally without appendage. Juveniles also are described and illustrated. A detailed morphological comparison with the mermithid M. flumenalis Welch is presented. The most pronounced morphological differences between these species are in the shape of the vulva, juvenile tail, and infective stage. Cross-mating trials support the integrity of the new species. The life cycle of M. camdenensis is closely synchronized with that of its primary host, S. tuberosum larvae. Infected S. tuberosum larvae were first collected in May. Emergence of postparasites from late instars took place from mid-June through mid-October. Sampling data indicate a lower susceptibility to infection among S. venuslum Say larvae.

Determination of Microbial Heterotrophic Biomass Production by Sulfate Uptake Measurement - Monheimer, R. H. (ASTM Special Technical Publication, 1979)
In aerobic waters, the uptake of sulfur by microorganisms should, theoretically, reflect their uptake of carbon. Studies with pure cultures of bacteria suggest that sulfate sulfur uptake follows the kinetics of organic carbon uptake and, also, that sulfate sulfur is the only significant source of sulfur in natural microbial biomass production. Sulfate uptake should, therefore, be useful for measuring microbial heterotrophy. However, partitioning photosynthetic from heterotrophic sulfate uptake is complicated, since dark sulfate uptake cannot necessarily be interpreted as heterotrophy. Ongoing studies with axenic cultures suggest that a relationship between primary production and sulfate uptake exists, thereby potentially allowing the calculation of heterotrophy in terms of the construction of sulfur biomass. Such calculations, although preliminary, are presented.

Effect of Cysteine and Methionine on Sulfate Uptake and Primary Productivity by Axenic Cultures and Lake Microplankton Communities - Monheimer, R. H. (Journal of Phycology, 1979)
The presence of up to 500 μg sulfur·l−1 of an equimolar mixture of cysteine and methionine had virtually no effect on the SO42- uptake rate of Navicula pelliculosa, (Bréb.) Hilse whereas the rate of Ankistrodesmus falcatus (Corda) Ralfs was decreased by the presence of 500 μg S· l−1 and Anabaena flos-aquae (Lyngbye) Bréb. by 50 μg S·l−1. Primary productivity in these axenic cultures was affected (decreased) only in A. falcatus. The C:S uptake ratio was lowest in N. pelliculosa and highest in A. falcatus. Considering these species as representative of groups of naturally occurring algae, patterns of SO42- uptake and primary productivity in a eutrophic and a moderately oligotrophic lake reflected the results of the algal culturing experiments: SO42- uptake rates, relative to primary productivity, were higher in the presence of diatoms and bluegreen algae and lower when green algae were present; the addition of the cysteine I methionine mixture to the lake waters decreased the rate of microplankton SO42- uptake in correlation with the makeup of the algal community; primary productivity decreased upon the addition of cysteine I methionine when green algae were relatively abundant. It is concluded that, in most fresh water systems, the effects of organic sulfur pollution on algal SO42- uptake and primary productivity are insignificant as compared to other ecological changes that occur due to that pollution.

Paedomorphosis in Edirioasteroid Echinoderms - Sprinkle, J.; Bell, B. M. (Paleobiology, 1978)
Three genera of the echinoderm class Edrioasteroidea comprise the suborder Cyathocystina; each is small, has five short straight ambulacra, few thecal plates, and commonly has a modified peripheral rim with tightly sutured or fused plates. The cyathocystids appear to have evolved by paedomorphosis; they have become sexually mature "adults" while retaining a morphology similar to juveniles of isorophid edrioasteroids. This mode of evolution may have been beneficial in colonizing shallow water, nearshore, current-swept environments.

Respiratory Schemes in the Class Edrioasteroidea - Bell, B. M. (Journal of Paleontology, 1977)
Edrioasteroids exhibit at least three major plans of thecal construction. Each suggests a different solution to the fundamental problem of respiration faced by all thecate echinoderms. Species of the order Edrioasterida employed the hydrovascular system as their primary respiratory device, a conventional echinoderm solution. A radial canal was suspended in the thecal cavity beneath the floorplates of each ambulacrum. Alternate lateral branches extended up into the ambulacral groove through vertical passageways which lie along sutures between contiguous floorplates. These branch canals ultimately terminated in podia and when the ambulacral coverplates opened, the podia functioned both as respiratory structures and food gathering devices. Species of the suborder Lebetodiscina (order Isorophida) also used external extensions of radial canals as their primary respiratory organs. But here lateral branch canals extended directly to the exterior of the theca, not into the ambulacral grooves. Lebetodiscinid coverplates extend laterally beyond the ends of the floorplates into the thecal cavity. Coverplate passageways lie along sutures between contiguous coverplates; these passageways open directly to the exterior of the theca. Lateral branch canals extended obliquely upward along the coverplate passageways to end as external podia. Thus, podial respiration could occur with the coverplates either open or closed. Species of the suborder Isorophina (order Isorophida) used anal respiration with exchange occurring in a cloacal chamber. No suggestions of ambulacral podia are found in these forms. The anal plates form a unique, complex, valvular structure. Expansion and contraction of various parts of the theca pumped water in and out of the cloacal chamber through the anal valve.

Effects of Three Environmental Variables on Sulfate Uptake by Aerobic Bacteria - Monheimer, R. H. (Applied Microbiology, 1975)
The effects of various concentrations of sulfate, organic sulfur, and organic carbon on sulfate uptake by aerobic bacteria were studied using pure cultures growing in a defined medium. Cultures of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Corynebacterium striatum took up sulfate faster when young, but sulfate uptake by Serratia marcescens was faster in older cultures. Organic sulfur was found to decrease sulfate uptake, but at concentrations somewhat higher than occurs in most natural freshwater ecosystems. Low levels of sulfate can theoretically directly limit bacterial biomass production but such limitation probably does not occur in natural systems. Evidence is presented which indirectly links the uptake of sulfate and organic carbon, adding credibility to the proposal that sulfate uptake can be used as an indicator of microbial biomass production in freshwater ecosystems.

Particulate Dispersion from Sources within a Forest - Raynor, G. S.; Hayes, J. V.; Ogden, E. C. (Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1975)
Particulate dispersion from sources within a 10- to 13-m tall pine forest was studied experimentally at Brookhaven National Laboratory using stained ragweed pollen and other tracers ranging from 14 to 58 Μm in size. Forty-seven continuous point source releases lasting from 22 to 55 min were made at heights from 1.75 to 14.0 m from locations having a long fetch through the forest. In most experiments, differently colored ragweed pollen were emitted simultaneously from three locations. In other tests, several particle types were released from a single point. The sampling network consisted of 119 rotoslide samplers at heights from 0.5 to 21.0 m at 57 positions within and at the edge of the forest. Deposition to the ground was sampled by greased microscope slides at each position. Meteorological measurements were taken in and near the forest. Data were classified by particle characteristics, source height and meteorological parameters. Concentration patterns were illustrated on scale diagrams of the sampling grid. Changes in centerline and crosswind integrated concentrations, plume width and height, mass flux, deposition and deposition velocity were studied as a function of distance, particle size and wind speed. Results were compared to those obtained from similar releases over open terrain. In the forest, vertical predominates over lateral dispersion and considerable interchange occurs through the canopy. Flow is channelled somewhat by vegetation density differences but is generally in the direction of the mean wind above the forest. No systematic turning of the wind with height was observed. Most particles are lost to the foliage rather than to the ground and large particles are lost more rapidly than smaller ones. Rate of change in mass flux is similar to that over open terrain and is greater with light than with stronger wind speeds.

Spatial Variability in Airborne Pollen Concentrations - Raynor, G. S.; Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1975)
Tests were conducted to determine the relationship between airborne pollen concentrations and distance. Simultaneous samples were taken in 171 tests with sets of eight rotoslide samplers spaced from one to 486 M. apart in straight lines. Use of all possible pairs gave 28 separation distances. Tests were conducted over a 2-year period in urban and rural locations distant from major pollen sources during both tree and ragweed pollen seasons. Samples were taken at a height of 1.5 M. during 5-to 20-minute periods. Tests were grouped by pollen type, location, year, and direction of the wind relative to the line. Data were analyzed to evaluate variability without regard to sampler spacing and variability as a function of separation distance. The mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, ratio of maximum to the mean, and ratio of minimum to the mean were calculated for each test, each group of tests, and all cases. The average coefficient of variation is 0.21, the maximum over the mean, 1.39 and the minimum over the mean, 0.69. No relationship was found with experimental conditions. Samples taken at the minimum separation distance had a mean difference of 18 per cent. Differences between pairs of samples increased with distance in 10 of 13 groups. These results suggest that airborne pollens are not always well mixed in the lower atmosphere and that a sample becomes less representative with increasing distance from the sampling location.

Relationship of Manganese-iron Oxides and Associated Heavy Metals to Grain Size in Stream Sediments - Westrop, P. R. (Journal of Geochemical Exploration, 1975)
The distribution of ammonium citrate-leachable lead, zinc and cadmium among size fractions in stream sediments is strongly influenced by the presence of hydrous Mn-Fe oxides in the form of coatings on sediment grains. Distribution curves showing leachable metals as a function of particle size are given for eight samples from streams in New York State. These show certain features in common; in particular two concentrations of metals, one in the finest fractions, and a second peak in the coarse sand and gravel fraction. The latter can be explained as a result of the increasing prevalence and thickness of oxide coatings with increasing particle size, with the oxides serving as collectors for the heavy metals. The distribution of Zn and Cd in most of the samples closely parallels that of Mn; the distribution of Pb is less regular and appears to be related to Fe in some samples and Mn in others. The concentration of metals in the coarse fractions due to oxide coatings, combined with the common occurrence of oxide deposition in streams of glaciated regions, raises the possibility of using coarse materials for geochemical surveys and environmental heavy-metal studies.

Chemical Weathering of Serpentinite in the Eastern Piedmont of Maryland - Cleaves, E. T.; Fisher, D. W.; Bricker, O. P. (Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1974)
Weathering processes in a small watershed (Soldiers Delight) underlain by Serpentinite in the Piedmont of Maryland were studied by means of a mass balance technique and were compared with the processes operative in a watershed uncertain by schist. The two terranes are downwasting at a rate of 2.4 m per m.y., but chemical weathering much more strongly affects the Serpentinite (2.2 m per m.y.) than the schist (1.2 m per m.y.). The serpentinite lacks a saprolite cover because resistate minerals are absent and alumina in the bedrock is scarce. In contrast, the schist contains both quartz and a source of alumina in the alumino-silicate minerals and, as a result, has a thick saprolite mantle. Relatively small amounts of secondary quartz, chalcedony, and 14Å clay minerals are synthesized in the serpentinite watershed, but relatively large amounts of gibbsite and clay minerals (kaolinite and vermiculite) are formed during the weathering of the schist. The hydrologic consequences in the serpentinite terrane compared with the schist watershed are increased flood-flow discharge, greater fluctuation in seasonal, instantaneous base-flow discharge, and pronounced seasonal fluctuations in total discharge. The serpentinite stream water averaged 205 ppm of total dissolved solids in the base flow compared to 25 ppm in the schist. Stream water from the serpentinite is of the magnesium bicarbonate type; that from the schist is sodium–calcium bicarbonate type. On the serpentinite, substantial land-surface reduction (denudation) is effected by chemical weathering; mechanical weathering is secondary. On the schist terrane, mechanical weathering is the primary agent that lowers the land surface, even though chemical weathering has reduced the rock mass ay almost one-half.

Enhancement of Particle Concentrations Downwind of Vegetative Barriers - Raynor, G. S.; Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (Agricultural Meteorology, 1974)
A series of experiments was conducted to study the effect of hedgerows on airborne pollen concentrations. Sampling of tree pollens and ragweed pollen from distant upwind sources was conducted with rotoslide samplers mounted at three heights and sixteen locations both upwind and downwind of a dense arbor-vitae hedge and a porous deciduous hedge. A pronounced concentration maximum was found in the cavity region downwind of each hedge.

Mesoscale Transport and Dispersion of Airborne Pollens - Raynor, G. S.; Hanes, J. V.; Ogden, E. C. (Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1974)
Pollen transport and dispersion from generalized area sources was studied by 29 flights to distances of 100 km and heights of 3 km using an aircraft-mounted isokinetic sampler. Tree pollens and ragweed pollen served as tracers. Four types of flights were made to study various aspects of pollen transport: 1) ascents over a fixed location to investigate vertical distribution; 2) flights over a source-free area to document change of concentration with distance, 3) east-west flights along Long Island to study the influx of pollen from the mainland with westerly winds; and 4) vertical ascents and horizontal flights during sea breeze flows to determine their effect on pollen concentrations. It was found that large quantities of pollen are transported in orderly fashion from their source regions but pollen often travels in large, discrete clouds. Pollen is transported to Long Island from the mainland in some quantity. Sea breeze flows greatly decrease low-level concentrations but pollen is carried aloft at the sea breeze front and recirculated in the return flow aloft. Vertical distribution is reasonably well related to lapse rate although secondary concentration peaks which often occur below elevated inversions cannot be explained by the data obtained.

Particulate Dispersion Into and Within a Forest - Raynor, G. S.; Hayes, J. V.; Ogden, E. C. (Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1974)
Particulate dispersion into and within a 10- to 13-m tall pine forest was studied experimentally at Brookhaven National Laboratory using stained ragweed pollen and other tracers ranging from 14 to 54 Μm in diam. Seventy-two continuous point source releases lasting 20 to 40 min were made at various distances from within the forest edge to 60 m upwind and at heights of 1.75 to 14.0 m. In most experiments, differently colored ragweed pollen was released simultaneously from three locations. Thirty-six longer tests were made using pollen from area sources of ragweed and three with pollen from distant sources. All tests were made during the day with steady winds and unstable lapse rates outside the forest. The sampling network consisted of 119 rotoslide samplers mounted at heights from 0.5 to 21.0 m at 57 positions extending 100 m into the forest. Deposition was sampled by greased microscope slides at each sampling position. Meteorological measurements were taken in and near the forest. Data were classified by particle characteristics; by source type, distance and height; and by meteorological parameters. Isopleths were drawn on scale diagrams of the sampling grid to illustrate concentration patterns. Changes in centerline concentration, crosswind integrated concentration, mass flux, plume width, plume height, deposition, and deposition velocity were related to distance within the forest and other variables. Results were compared to those of similar releases over open terrain and those of previous forest dispersion studies elsewhere. The plume approaching the forest is broadened both vertically and horizontally by increased turbulence at the forest edge and flows mainly into the trunk space and above the forest. Lateral spread is slow within the forest, but vertical spreading beyond the entrance region is greater than in the open. Particles become mixed uniformly below the canopy while appreciable interchange takes place through this layer. Concentration within the forest decreases at a faster rate than in the open, but change in total mass flux within and above the forest is not significantly different. Loss of material takes place by impaction near the forest edge and in the tree tops and by deposition within the forest. Most loss takes place to the foliage rather than the ground, and larger particles are lost faster than smaller ones.

Dispersion of Pollens from Low-Level, Crosswind Line Sources - Raynor, G. S.; Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (Agricultural Meteorology, 1973)
Dispersion and deposition of pollens emitted naturally from 80-m long, crosswind, line sources of living plants and of pollens sprayed from a moving vehicle were studied in a set of 45 experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Concentrations were measured by 276 wind-impaction samplers mounted in a square array which included four heights at each of 69 positions. Deposition was measured by greased microscope slides on the ground. Data are presented as functions of distance from the source, pollen type and release height for decrease in concentration, plume height, mass flux, deposition and deposition velocity. Results are compared with those from previous point and area source dispersion experiments. Values computed from a multi-point source, Gaussian-plume diffusion model gave reasonably good agreement with the experimental measurements.

Variation in Ragweed Pollen Concentration to a Height of 108 Meters - Raynor, G. S.; Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (Journal Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1973)
Ragweed pollen concentrations were measured at 5 levels from 1.5 to 108 M. on a meteorology tower at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Samples were taken over an 11 year period using both the rotoslide and the slide-edge cylinder samplers. Vertical pollen profiles showed great variability from day to day but, when averaged over pollen seasons or longer periods, little systematic change in height was found. These results suggest that long-term patient exposure at upper levels of tall buildings would be similar to that at ground level in the absence of nearby pollen sources.

Origin of Coronas in Metagabbros of the Adirondack Mts., New York - P. R. Whitney; McLelland, J. M. (Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 1973)
Metagabbros from two widely separated areas in the Adirondacks show development of coronas. In the Southern Adirondacks, these are cored by olivine which is enclosed in a shell of orthopyroxene that is partially, or completely, rimmed by symplectites consisting of clinopyroxene and spinel. Compositions of the corona phases have been determined by electron probe and are consistent with a mechanism involving three partial reactions, thus: (a) Olivine=Orthopyroxene+(Mg, Fe)++. (b) Plagioclase+(Mg, Fe)+++Ca++=Clinopyroxene+Spinel+Na+.   (c) Plagioclase+(Mg, Fe)+++Na+=Spinel+more sodic plagioclase+Ca++.   Reaction (a) occurs in the inner shell of the corona adjacent to olivine; reaction (b) in the outer shell; and (c) in the surrounding plagioclase, giving rise to the spinel clouding which is characteristic of the plagioclase in these rocks. Alumina and silica remain relatively immobile. These reactions, when balanced, can be generalized to account for the aluminous nature of the pyroxenes and for changing plagioclase composition. Summed together, the partial reactions are equivalent to: (d) Olivine + Anorthite = Aluminous orthopyroxene + Aluminous Clinopyroxene + Spinel (Kushiro and Yoder, 1966). In the Adirondack Highlands, coronas between olivine and plagioclase commonly have an outer shell of garnet replacing the clinopyroxene/spinel shell. The origin of the garnet can also be explained in terms of three partial reactions: (e) Orthopyroxene+Ca++=Clinopyroxene+(Mg, Fe)++. (f) Clinopyroxene+Spinel+Plagioclase+(Mg, Fe)++=Garnet+Ca+++Na+.   (g) Plagioclase+(Mg, Fe)+++Na+=Spinel + more sodic plagioclase+Ca++.   These occur in the inner and outer corona shell and the surrounding plagioclase, respectively, and involve the products of reactions (a)-(d). Alumina and silica are again relatively immobile. Balanced, and generalized to account for aluminous pyroxenes and variable An content of plagioclase, they are equivalent to: (h) Orthopyroxene+Anorthite+Spinel=Garnet (Green and Ringwood, 1967). Amphibole coronas about opaque oxides in rocks of both areas are the result of oxide/plagioclase reactions with addition of magnesium from coexisting olivine. Based on published experimental data, pressure and temperature at the time of corona formation were on the order of 8 kb and 800° C for the garnet bearing coronas, with somewhat lower pressures indicated for the clinopyroxene/spinel coronas.

Dispersion and Deposition of Corn Pollen from Experimental Sources - Raynor, G. S.; Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (Agronomy Journal, 1972)
The atmospheric dispersion and subsequent deposition of corn (Zea mays L.) pollen emitted from plants in two 18-m diameter plots were studied in 39 tests at Brookhaven National Laboratory to compare the spread of this large pollen to that of smaller pollens studied previously. Concentrations were measured by wind-impaction samplers mounted at four heights (0.5 to 4.6 m) and at five distances from the source on 20-degree radii. Deposition was measured by greased microscope slides on the ground. Data were analyzed in terms of current meteorological dispersion theory. Normalized centerline concentrations, crosswind integrated concentrations, plume widths and heights, and mass flux are presented as functions of distance and compared to similar data from ragweed (Ambrosia) and timothy (Phleum pratense) sources of comparable size. Normalized centerline and crosswind integrated deposition and velocity of deposition are also presented as functions of distance and are compared to ragweed and timothy pollen data. The study shows that corn pollen is not transported as far by the wind as smaller pollens, does not disperse as widely in either the horizontal or the vertical direction and settles to earth more quickly, much of it within the source itself. The dispersion of corn pollen is influenced by its large size and rapid settling rate. At 60 m from the source in the downwind direction, concentrations average about 1% of those at 1 m. Width of the pollen plume at 60 m is less than that of smaller pollens under similar conditions. The rate of settling opposes the rate of upward dispersion so that the height of the pollen plume does not increase continuously with downwind distance. At 60 m from the source concentrations integrated in the crosswind direction average from 3 to 6% of those at 1 m. The total amount of pollen remaining airborne at 60 m is 5% of that at 1 m. Total deposition within the source plot is greater than that outside. Deposition per unit area at 60 m downwind is only 0.2% of that near the source. Crosswind integrated deposition at 60 m varies from 0.5 to 0.8% of that at 1 m. The velocity of deposition at 32 m from the source averages about 33 cm/sec.

Dispersion and Deposition of Timothy Pollen from Experimental Sources - Raynor, G. S.; Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (Agricultural Meterology, 1972)
Dispersion and deposition of timothy pollen emitted naturally from circular area sources 18–37 m in diameter and artificially from point sources were studied in 64 tests at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Concentrations were measured by wind-impaction samplers mounted at four heights (0.5–4.6 m) and five or six distances from the source on 20° radii. Deposition was measured by greased microscope slides on the ground. Data are analyzed in terms of current dispersion theory. Normalized centerline concentrations, crosswind integrated concentrations, plume widths and heights, mass flux and the size of areas having concentrations above selected values are presented as functions of distance and related to source size and meteorological variables. Deposition data are also related to distance and source size. Most deposition velocities ranged from 10 to 14 cm/sec but many values close to the source were much higher. Loss of airborne particles between sampling circles is compared to deposition over the same distances. Results are compared to previous dispersion and deposition experiments, including a large number of similar ragweed pollen tests, and to theory.

Caribou and Paleo-Indian in New York State: A presumed Association - Funk, R. E.; Fisher, D. W.; E. M. Reilley Jr. (American Journal of Science, 1970)
A cave near Florida, Orange County, New York has yielded caribou bones and a fluted point in the same stratum. Radiocarbon dating of the bones produced a date of 10,580 B.C. ± 370 yrs. In the same region, mastodon and moose-elk bones have been dated at 8050 B.C. ± 160 yrs. and 9000 B.C. ± 150 yrs., respectively. Similar dates have been obtaibned for mastodon remains further upstate. There is, thus, the strong likelihood that New York's Paleo-Indians hunted caribou; they may also have hunted mastodon and moose-elk.

Dispersion and Deposition of Ragweed Pollen from Experimental Sources - Raynor, G. S.; Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1970)
Dispersion and deposition of ragweed pollen released naturally from circular area sources of four sizes (5–27 m in diameter) and artificially from point sources were studied at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Concentrations were measured by wind-impaction samplers mounted on 20° radii at four heights (0.5–4.6 in) and four or five distances from the sources to a maximum of 69 m. Deposition was measured by greased microscope slides on the ground. Differences in dispersion patterns between point and area sources are analyzed. Normalized centerline concentrations, cross-wind integrated concentrations, plume widths, plume heights and mass flux are presented as functions of distance and related to source size and meteorological variables. Deposition data are also related to distance and source size. Most deposition velocities ranged from 2–6 cm sec−1 but values close to area sources were much greater. Loss of airborne particles between sampling circles is compared to deposition over the same distances. Results are compared to those of previous dispersion and deposition studies and to theory.

Diurnal Patterns of Pollen Emission in Ambrosia, Phleum, Zea, and Ricinus - Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (American Journal of Botany, 1969)
Hourly measu rements of pollen emission were made from cultivated plots of Ambrosia, Phleum, Zea, and Ricinus over the course of several pollination seasons as part of a study of pollen dispersion from known sources. A characteristic diurnal emission pattern was found for each genus Ambrosia pollen emission normally begins an hour or two after sunrise, peaks a few hours later, and decreases through the afternoon. Phleum starts during the night, peaks about 2 hr after sunrise, and declines slowly through the day. Zea emits pollen fairly uniformly during the period from 2 hr after sunrise to about sunset, while Ricinus pollen was collected from several hours after sunrise to late afternoon with a peak in mid-morning. Daily patterns often vary from the seasonal mean in response to changing meteorological conditions.

Ground Slates: East and West - Ritchie, W. A. (American Antiquity, 1969)
Six major hypotheses have been advanced to account for ground slate industries containing knives, lance heads, and projectile points, found on opposite sides of the North American continent. Certain of these hypotheses assume genetic connections; others postulate separate sources and developments for such artifacts in the Northeast and North Pacific areas. A recent study of the cultures involved, chiefly Borden's (1962) Vancouver data, has indicated that: (1) ground slate artifacts made their initial appearance in both areas at about the same time; (2) the respective typologies are quite dissimilar; and (3) possible bone and/or chipped stone prototypes for certain of the specific ground slate forms exist in each area. These data suggest independent origins and developmental histories.

California Virus in New York state: Isolation and characterization of California encephalitis virus complex from Aedes cinereus - Whitney, E.; H. Jamnback; Means, R. G.; Roz , A. P.; Rayner, G. A. (The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1969)
In St. Lawrence County, New York State, in 1964-65, 7, 940 Culicids, Ceratopo-gonids, Simuliids and Tabanids were tested in 769 pools for evidence of virus infection. One of 51 pools of Aedes cinereus Mg. yielded a virus of the California encephalitis complex of a type different from the prototype strain. Antibodies neutralizing California encephalitis virus were found in serum from man, cattle and wild animals in 11 counties of New York.

Variations of the K/Rb Ratio in Migmatitic Paragneisses of the Northwest Adirondacks - P. R. Whitney (Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1969)
Data for the migmatitic paragneisses of the Northwest Adirondacks indicate fractionation of potassium and rubidium during metamorphism and migmatization; total rock KRb ratios are controlled to a significant degree by modal composition. Biotite-poor granitic veins and lenses show KRb ratios averaging 431 in contrast to the host gneisses which have an average KRb ratio of 271. Paragneisses from the zone of granulite facies metamorphism show significantly higher (mean 307) KRb ratios than those from the amphibolite facies (231), indicating the possibility of regional depletion in Rb relative to K under intensive metamorphic conditions.

Effect of a Local Source on Ragweed Pollen Concentrations from Background Sources - Raynor, G. S.; Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (Journal of Allergy, 1968)
Dispersion of pollen from local ragweed sources was studied to determine the effect of contributions from such sources upon the pollen concentrations originating in more distant areas. Since ragweed pollen is produced throughout a large region, concentrations measured at any given location represent contributions from many sources at various distances along the past trajectory of the air sampled. A local source may produce concentrations several orders of magnitude above this background in a small downwind region. These concentrations decrease with distance and at some point become insignificant in comparison to background concentrations. Five experimental plots of common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) were grown at Brookhaven National Laboratory over a four-year period. Pollen concentrations were measured by arrays of samplers located in concentric rings at several distances from each source. These concentrations were studied in relation to background pollen. The maximum downwind concentration is related to source size. Distances necessary for concentrations to reach specified fractions of background and the areas covered by concentrations greater than specified multiples of background are related to source size, surrounding vegetation, and meteorological conditions. These data should provide guidance to allergists and public health officials in evaluating the importance of local sources.

Arthropod-borne-virus Survey in St. Lawrence County, New York. Arbovirus Reactivity in Serum from Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, and Mammals - Whitney, E.; H. Jamnback; Means, R. G.; Watthews, T. H. (The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1968)
Serological evidence of the presence of groups A, B and Bunyamwera arboviruses in New York State has been reported [Bull Hyg., 1964, v. 39, 75; Am. J. Vet. Res., 1965, v. 26, 914]. In continuation of these studies a further 901 wild animal sera (amphibian, reptilian, avian and mammalian) and 192 human sera were obtained from St. Lawrence County and tested for the presence of haemagglutination inhibiting (HI) and neutralizing (NT) antibodies. Group A reactivity was tested against eastern and western encephalomyelitis viruses, group B reactivity with Powassan and St. Louis encephalitis viruses, while the Bunyamwera group was represented by Cache Valley in NT tests and by Maguari virus in HI tests. Only a few reactions with group A viruses were found, but there was evidence of considerable activity by group B viruses-particularly Powassan virus. Of 70 sera from woodchucks (Marmota monax), 38 had both NT and HI antibodies against Powassan virus and sera from 9 other mammalian species were also reactive. Despite this high incidence in animal sera, only 2 human sera gave evidence suggesting previous infection with group B arboviruses; one had antibodies to Powassan and the other to St. Louis encephalitis virus. In the Bunyamwera group, 9 of 192 human sera neutralized Cache Valley virus, but no antibodies to this group of viruses were found in any of the 901 animal sera.

Some Effects of Ingested Thiotepa on the Development of Plasmodium gallinaceum in Yellow-fever Mosquitoes and in Chicks - H. Jamnback (Journal of Economic Entomology, 1967)
In feeding tests, 1.0% thiotepa (tris (1-aziridinyl) phosphine sulfide) in 5% sucrose solution was rapidly lethal to most females of the yellow-fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti (L.). At this concentration it was calculated that approximately 4600 mg of thiotepa per kg of mosquito weight was ingested. The mortality of mosquitoes feeding on 0.1% thiotepa was 69% on day 20, 17 days after exposure, as compared with 23% in untreated mosquitoes. With 0.1% thiotepa, there was a significant reduction in the size of oocysts and obvious abnormalities in their appearance, but there was no significant difference between the numbers of oocysts in treated and untreated mosquitoes. Sporozoite production was delayed but not entirely prevented; the length of the extrinsic period being almost doubled. Dissections made on day 20 or thereafter indicate that the sporozoite rate was reduced by 68%. Transmission to chicks by thiotepa-treated mosquitoes (on day 20) was reduced by 88%. Plasmodium gallinaceum Brumpt in the 2 chicks infected by thiotepa-treated mosquitoes was infective to other mosquitoes and developed normally in them. The effects of lower concentrations of thiotepa were studied in less detail. Sporozoite rates were reduced and the appearance of sporozoites was delayed in mosquitoes that fed on 0.01% thiotepa but were unaffected in mosquitoes that fed on 0.001% thiotepa.

A New Sampler for Airborne Pollen: The Rotoslide - Ogden, E. C.; Raynor, G. S. (Journal of Allergy, 1967)
As experiments have shown that pollen capture by the standard Durham sampler is determined by several factors in addition to the concentration of pollen in the air, a study was conducted to determine what type of sampler would be the most acceptable replacement. Many types of samplers, including deposition surfaces, stationary and rotating impactors, suction, and filter devices, were tested in a wind tunnel and in the field under various meteorological conditions. Considerations of accuracy of sample, use under varying weather conditions, simplicity of operation, case of counting, conversion of catch to a volumetric basis, and cost led to the development of the rotoslide, a rotating impactor which takes samples of pollen and other spores on the edge of standard glass microscope slides. Staining and other preparation of samples for study are similar to the methods in routine use. A special inexpensive holder positions the slides under a microscope. Identification and counting are done at 100× or at higher magnifications if desired. The rotoslide sampler is essentially independent of wind speed and direction and has a collection efficiency of approximately 64 per cent for particles in the size range of pollen. It samples approximately 60 L. per minute, but for long-period samples it may be operated intermittently to prevent overloading.

Experimental Field Techniques Used to Evaluate Gypsy Moth, Porthetria dispar, Control in New York - Connola, D. P.; Lewis, F. B.; McDonough, J. L. (Journal of Economic Entomology, 1966)
Although postspray reduction in egg masses is the standard measure used to evaluate control of the gypsy moth, Porthetria dispar (L.), the method does not provide for observation of treatment effects, or the detection of a mortality not related to treatment. Correlation analyses of egg-mass reduction with spray deposit, mortality among larvae caged with sprayed foliage, 10-minute live larval counts in the field, frass collections, and defoliation readings showed that the 3 last mentioned were significantly correlated with postspray egg-mass deposit.

Phenolic Extractives in Lateral Branches and Injured Leaders of Pinus strobus L. San. - DeGroot, R. C. (Journal of Botany, 1966)
Phenolic extractives were shown to occupy the greatest cross-sectional area in bases of lateral branches of Pinus strobus at or within 1–4 years after needle loss. The cross-sectional area of the extractive-containing wood in lateral branches decreased as the branch weathered. Phenolic extractives were absent from most weevil-killed leaders, but present in nearly one-half of the leaders killed by causes other than weeviling and in bases of all dead suppressed coterminals examined.

Oil and Gas Developments in Northeastern States in 1965 - Richards, H. G.; Taylor, E. F.; Kreidler, W. L.; Van Tyne, A. M.; Lytle, W. S.; McGlade, W. G.; Wagner, W. R.; McCord, W. R.; Norling, D. L.; Johnson, A. W.; Alkire, R. L. (AAPG Bulletin, 1966)
The area covered by this report includes the New England States and the States of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. There was no drilling activity along the Atlantic Coastal Plain north of North Carolina, but some offshore seismic surveying was done. The one exploratory well drilled in Maryland discovered a gas pool in the Oriskany. An important but unsuccessful wildcat was drilled in Virginia to a depth of 14,176 ft. An unsuccessful wildcat was drilled in Vermont (Champlain basin) to a depth of 5,120 ft. In New York State there were 4 new gas discoveries (2 in Oriskany, 2 in Medina). Major exploratory emphasis was on pre-Silurian unconformities in the counties just south of Lake Ontario. Exploration in Pennsylvania resulted in 5 new gas discoveries. Drilling was for sandstone gas production from the Oriskany in the west-central and southern counties, and for production from the Lower Silurian and older formations in Crawford and Erie Counties. Many wells also were drilled in old shallow-sandstone oil areas of Warren and Venango Counties. One new shallow oil field and one new deep-sandstone gas field were discovered in West Virginia. Important drilling was done in the north-central counties for oil and gas in the Big Injun Sand (Middle Mississippian) and for gas in the Riley-Benson Sands (Upper Devonian). Drilling for Oriskany Sandstone (Lower Devonian) gas continued in Hampshire, Hardy, Jackson, Putnam, and Monongalia Counties. The deepest well drilled in the state (unsuccessful wildcat) was a 13,000-ft. test in Grant County. Drilling activity in central Ohio again was directed toward the Cambrian (Copper Ridge Dolomite, "Trempealeau"). Scattered exploratory drilling took place in the northern, northeastern, and south-central parts of the state. Production from the Silurian Albion Sandstone ("Clinton") increased during the year whereas that from the Mississippian Berea Sandstone remained about the same as in 1964.

A Mineral Conservation Ethic for New York State - Dunn, J. R.; Broughton, J. G. (The Council of State Government, 1965)
The authors of this paper underscore that the supply of mineral resources that go into the making of our cities is in jeopardy. Accordingly they pose as a basic principle, as a "Mineral Conservation Ethic," the proposition that any action leading to waste or misuse of a mineral resource is a public concern. They analyze the outstanding elements of the problem as they see it, and suggest various lines looking to solution. Messrs. Dunn and Broughton are, respectively, Professor of Geology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and State Geologist of New York. While they are writing here especially about their subject as it presents itself in New York, they would apply most of their findings to the country at large. They emphasize that they approach the problem as specialist- enthusiast for minerals-and they recognize that these must compete with other necessities for enlightened public attention and action. But they believe that minerals have been receiving much too small a share. /CSG/
