An integral component to understanding lithospheric rheology, fault mechanics, and geodynamic processes is knowledge of the subsurface thermal regime. This study presents thermal data from 26 new borehole sites drilled during the installation of borehole strain meters as part of the Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO). These data extends existing coverage...
Electron microscopic, histochemical and thin-layer chromatographic
techniques have been used to study some cytological changes
associated with seasonal lipid deposition in the liver of Ascaphus.
Histochemical and chromatographic information has shown that unsaturated triglycerides occur in great quantities in the liver of pre-ovulatory females and may serve as a solvent...
This simulation is a model for a tidal power-peaking plant that
can be used to determine the electrical peaking generation for a given
set of conditions.
The simulation internally contains a tide producing function
for a specific year, the hydraulic characteristics of the plant, and the
plant's machines' characteristics. The...
Portions of Yellowstone Lake sit on top of a vigorous but not well understood hydrothermal system situated in a region of intense geologic and environmental forcings. A heat flow study conducted over the Stevenson Island Vent Field (SIVF), a vent field at the bottom of Yellowstone Lake underlain by an...

Portions of Yellowstone Lake sit on top of a vigorous but not well understood
Primary monolayer cultures of chick renal epithelial cells
grown on plastic coverslips were reversibly dissociated with the
chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The cellular
responses during dissociation and reaggregation in Hank's balanced
salt solution (BSS) were observed with phase optics and recorded
by time-lapse cinemicrography.
The epithelial cells grow as...
Oögenesis in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
was studied by histological methods and by histochemical techniques
for polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids Urchins were
collected at Yaquina Head, Oregon at regular intervals between
April 1966 and March 1967. An attempt was made to correlate
seasonal variations in the coastal water...
The morphology of the dorsal neck organ of the brine shrimp
Artemia salina nauplius was investigated to determine its role(s)
during larval development.
Light and scanning electron microscopic studies show that the
neck organ is present in the pre-nauplius larval forms as early as
12 hours after hydration of the...
Heat flow analysis of the Costa Rica convergent margin is carried out for seven core sites drilled during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expeditions 334 and 344 as part of the Costa Rica Seismogenesis Project (CRISP). These expeditions were designed to develop a better understanding of erosional subduction zones. Heat...
Measuring surface heat flow at the Hikurangi Trough is key toward characterizing the local thermal regime and the influence of thermally sensitive processes such as fluid flow and slow slip. Marine heat flow data were collected during May– June 2015 in the northern Hikurangi Trough at sites seaward and landward...
