In late July 1914, upon partial mobilization of the Austro-Hungarian army, an urgent appeal to “Austria's women” circulated widely in the Viennese press. It urged women to “perform service in the time of war” and reminded them that in this moment of state peril, women had to suppress their “differences”...
Many different aspects of the determination of dissolved oxygen
by controlled potential coulometry were investigated to find a means
of measuring the oxygen content of natural waters. Rapid
sampling techniques, simplicity of operation, and rugged structural
features were stressed. Cells were designed to operate by either
internal electrolysis or external...
This manual provides guidance on creating subject heading proposals for Indigenous topics that can be submitted to the Subject Authority Cooperative Program (SACO) for addition to the Library of Congress Subject Headings.
Understanding groundwater conditions in the upland parts of volcanic island aquifers is critical for sustainable groundwater development in these resource-limited environments. Yet groundwater conditions in such settings are generally difficult to characterize because of sparse well drilling (high cost and/or limited access). Information needed for resource evaluation includes upland depth...
This thesis presents a hydrogeologic study of the Parrett Mountain Region,
located approximately 20 miles south of Portland, Oregon. The aim of the study was
to investigate the impacts of Columbia River Basalt on the regional groundwater
system, to expand our understanding of flow through fractured basalt, to improve
management...
The thermal regime of a postulated descending lithospheric slab
is calculated. The gravity anomaly associated with such a structure
is large in amplitude and long in wavelengh. Observed free-air
gravity anomalies in the Pacific Northwest do not indicate a gravitational
effect due to a descending slab.
Two hypothetical compensation models...
Using gravity, magnetic, bathymetric and seismic
refraction data, I have constructed a geophysical cross-section
of the central part of the northern Gulf of California. The
section exhibits a crustal thickness of 18 km and features an
anomalous block of high density lower basement (3.15 g/cm³)
which probably resulted from rifting...
