    Notes: Abstract Standard petrographic, microthermometric and Raman spectroscopic analyses of fluid inclusions from the metamorphosed massive sulphide deposits at Ducktown, Tennessee, indicate that fluids with a wide range of compositions in the C–O–H–N–S–salt system were involved in the syn- to post-metamorphic history of these deposits. Primary fluid inclusions from peak metamorphic clinopyroxene contain low-salinity, H2O–CH4 fluids and calcite, quartz and pyrrhotite daughter crystals. Many of these inclusions exhibit morphologies resembling those produced in laboratory experiments in which confining pressures significantly exceed the internal pressures of the inclusions. Secondary inclusions in metamorphic quartz from veins, pods, and host matrix record a complex uplift history involving a variety of fluids in the C–O–H–N–salt system. Early fluids were generated by local devolatilization reactions while later fluids were derived externally.Isochores calculated for secondary inclusions in addition to the chronology of trapping and morphological features of primary and secondary fluid inclusions suggest an uplift path which was concave toward the temperature axis over the P–T range 6–3 kbar and 550–225° C. Immiscible H2O–CH4–N2–NaCl fluids were trapped under lithostatic to hydrostatic pressure conditions at 3–0.5 kbar and 215 ± 20° C. Entrapment occurred during Alleghanian thrusting, and the fluids may have been derived by tectonically driven expulsion of pore fluids and thermal maturation of organic material in lower-plate sedimentary rocks which are thought to underlie the deposits. Episodic fracturing and concomitant pressure decreases in upper-plate rocks, which host the ore bodies, would have allowed these fluids to move upward and become immiscible. Post-Alleghanian uplift appears to have been temperature-convex.Uplift rates of 0.10–0.05 mm year−1 from middle Ordovician to middle Silurian – late Devonian, and 0.07–0.12 mm year−1 from middle Silurian – late Devonian to late Permian are suggested by our uplift path and available geochronological data.

    Notes: This project describes a methodology for assessing relative risk along a transportation corridor utilizing waterborne transportation on the busiest port area in the world, the lower Mississippi River (from the mouth of Southwest Pass up through Baton Rouge, Louisiana). The paper calculates a relative risk scale, using data obtained from maritime experts, previous research, and existing databases. The research aggregates the vessel traffic data and geographic risk location data to produce relative risk scores for each mile along the River from the mouth of Southwest Pass to the termination of shipping at the U.S. 190 bridge across the River at Baton Rouge. This is done in a very simple and practical way for this initial model: (1) each vessel traveling the Mississippi is classified according to its risk potential for those miles that it passes in route to where it docks, and (2) points along the river are assigned a relative risk score based upon risk variables identified by expérts identified through a standard sampling procedure. The relative risk scores for river miles are combinations of these two factors.

    Notes: Using expert system technology in industrial applications often involves the construction of programs of which the knowledge base is only a part and which have to be integrated into existing hardware and software environments. At Shell Research at Thornton it has been found that even within well explored areas such as fault diagnosis there is a need to incorporate non-expert tools within a knowledge system in order to perform tasks such as database management, screen handling and substantial numerical calculation. This is not always easy. A system to determine diesel engine condition from an analysis of the used oil has been developed using the SAGE package and subsequently redeveloped in Prolog to over-come such integration problems. An interesting side effect has been the discovery of the usefulness of Prolog in solving long standing problems concerning user access to complex relational databases.

    Notes: : Naturally formed plunge pools (scour holes) are a common morphologic feature in many urban stream systems where the transition between a pipe and a natural channel occurs. Plunge pools serve as significant stream energy dissipaters, increasing flow resistance and enhancing stream channel stability. Such features may also improve habitat diversity and serve as refugia for stream biota during low flow periods. The morphologic characteristics of several naturally formed plunge pools associated with road crossing culvert outlets in the metropolitan Charlotte, North Carolina, area are presented. Plunge pool dimensions surveyed include maximum depth, length, and width, and longitudinal and side slopes as well as bed material. Culvert outlet dimensions and hydraulic characteristics of the scouring jet for each study site are also reported. Design equations developed from flume studies generally failed to predict the naturally formed plunge pool dimensions. Pool volume was significantly correlated with drainage area, with pool depth being the least sensitive dimension to changes in the magnitude of the scouring flow. The excavation costs for designed plunge pools compare favorably to initial construction costs of traditional culvert outlet riprap aprons.

    Notes: The number of perch caught weekly in traps set in Slapton Ley, Devon has been considered. Five traps were laid in each of six regions during 1970 and 1971. The numbers caught in each region were averaged for eight lifts during 8 weeks and the logarithms of these numbers calculated. The figures obtained showed marked seasonal trends in the catch of the traps and these trends were consistent when both years were compared. If single traps were considered there was marked variability at one time which was attributed to differences in habitat. However, the combined data from each region did give a good comparison of the density of perch between regions.

    Population dynamics of perch, Perca fluviatilis L. in Slapton Ley, Devon (1974)

    Notes: The age of perch. Perca fluviatilis L. was determined from the annual bands laid down on the opercular bone. Year class monthly mean lengths were based on this ageing. The opercular bones have also been used for back-calculating growth. It was found that back-calculated mean lengths per age were similar to those calculated by direct measurement. There was little difference in growth between the sexes for the first 2 or 3 years of life. The investigation was too short for a correlation to be found between growth increments and degree days above 14°C although Slapton Ley was found to be warm in comparison to other British waters and the perch grew fast. Ford-Walford plots gave L∞= 22.0 cm for males and L∞= 25.0 cm for females. In length-weight relationships, fry and immature females were homogeneous between their monthly subgroups, and fry obeyed the cube law throughout. Mature males and females were heterogeneous between monthly subgroups. Growth has been expressed in weight form and instantaneous growth rates are given. These rates are higher for fry than older fish. Condition was closely related to gonad development in mature fish. Condition fell sharply after spawning and then rose rapidly in May and June. A sudden drop in condition was noted in males during August which cannot be fully explained.

    A study of the food and feeding of perch, Perca fluviatilis L., in Windermere (1978)

    Notes: SUMMARY. Perch were sampled for their stomach contents at regular intervals throughout 24 h from June until October in 1973 and from February 1975 until January 1976. They were found to feed on benthic organisms from November until April, on benthos and plankton during May and June and on perch fry and zooplankton from July until October. Perch over a wide size range feed on similar prey. Fish showed great variability in the weight of their stomach contents. A method based on a points system was developed to estimate the weight of food in the stomach for a given weight of fish at a known time. A diel feeding pattern which varied with the season was apparent from these data. Rates of gastric evacuation were assumed to be exponential and were calculated from the drop in night-time stomach content weights when food intake was assumed to be zero. The rates ranged from 0.18 mg h−1 at a mean water temperature of 11°C in May to 0.35 mg h−1 at a mean water temperature of 17°C in July. Assuming that food consumption followed a linear rate of intake, the standard Bajkov method was considered an adequate model to calculate daily food consumption. Daily food consumption (mg dry weight) was calculated for 150 g perch for all months of the year (November to April and September and October being combined). A second series of values was calculated making corrections for the time spent in the fishing gears when food intake was zero but gastric evacuation continued. Daily food consumption figures for 150g male perch based on Winberg's hypotheses (1956) and growth data showed no significant differences from this second series of values, when both were expressed in energy terms. When certain assumptions have been tested, growth data and Winberg's equations together may be a suitable method for calculating an energy budget for the Windermere perch population.

    Notes: Perch, Percafluviatilis L. were studied in Slapton Ley which is a eutrophic freshwater lagoon in south Devon, England. The perch were caught in traps from February 1970 to June 1971. The traps selected males during the spawning season. The water temperature did not affect the numbers of trapped fish directly, but the sight of perch in the traps appeared to attract others. Sex ratios were found to be equal in the first 2 years of life but older year classes were predominantly female. The population consisted of young individuals. Males were found to mature in their first year and most females matured in their second. The fecundity varied from an average of 1000 eggs in perch n i the 9.75 cm length group to 30,500 eggs in fish in the 27.75 cm group. A few shoals of perch moved throughout the Ley although the majority of fish stayed in the same area. Population estimates showed a range from 10,000 to 95,000 for fish 9.75 cm and above. The large variations in population estimates and survival rates were attributed to the necessity of using traps which had variable catches and to the harmful effects of handling the perch. Chironomids were important in the diet of perch of all sizes. Plankton and Asellus were other important foods, the latter especially during the winter months. Perch 11.5 cm to 13.9 cm selected the widest range of food organisms. Only perch 14.0 cm and above ate fish.
