The second volume of a five-volume series is presented. The contents are arranged under the following chapter headings: (1) Fluid Mechanics of Liquid Metals, (2) Liquid-Metal Heat Transfer, (3) Intermediate Heat Exchangers, and (4) Steam Generators.
Easter Island and Sala y Gomez are part of the Sala y Gomez
Ridge, a broad band of high topography and scattered seamounts
extending ESE from the East Pacific Rise. It has been proposed that
the Sala y Gomez Ridge results from the movement of the Nazca Plate
over a...
The sinuous flight behavior of male Douglas-fir tussock
moths, Orgyia pseudotsugata, (McD.), is characterized by
positive anemotaxis and positive chemoklinotaxis and varies
depending on distance from the pheromone source, population
density, and time of day. Visual cues play a minor role
in close-range orientation to a pheromone source, but
males...
The analysis of 64 rock samples from Saudi Arabia and three
samples from the axial trough of the Red Sea has been done.
Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was the analytical
tool used for the analysis of at least 18 and as many as 24 elements
in these 67 rock...
Detailed surveys of several segments of the Peru Trench show
that the region between 6° to 10⁰ S is an area of recent deformation.
Seismic reflection records across the axis of the trench show faulting,
uplift, and tilting of the sedimentary fill and the acoustic basement.
Uplift of the acoustic...
The life history and wing pattern variation of the intertidal
shore bug, Saldula palustris (Douglas), were studied in field and
experimental populations from June 1970 until February 1972.
The study site was an estuarine salt marsh on Yaquina Bay
near Toledo, Oregon. The insects live below mean high water level...
Extensive new trackline coverage of the Chile Trench between 23°S and 34°S, including more than 60 bathymetric and seismic reflection profiles across the trench axis, allows a much more detailed study of the tectonics and sedimentation of this feature than previously possible. Sediment distribution along the axis shows a remarkable...
Magnetic, gravity and bathymetry data were collected on an extended
cruise of the R/V Yaquina in 1969. The last set of data was obtained
from those track lines leaving the Panama Basin. The area
covered is mainly the Cocos plate (Molnar and Sykes, 1969). The data
is analyzed and compared...
