    Notes: Biological damage to plants is commonly found from the Devonian but occurs most commonly from the Cretaceous. Damage inflicted on plants whilst they were alive may trigger a pathological response involving the growth of abnormal tissues. Much of the damage is caused by arthropods, particularly insects. Whilst some damage is non-taxon specific, such as simple feeding traces, other damage, such as leaf mines, galls or bark boring, may reveal the co-evolution of host specific taxa and the timing of such interactions. Damaged plants, particularly from the Cretaceous and Tertiary are described and illustrated. The geological history of the evolution of insect-related plant damage is briefly reviewed. Increased variety in the pathological response of plants is seen from the Cretaceous with the evolution of the angiosperms and diversification of numerous insect groups.

    Design and Operation of an Inexpensive Sensitive Piezometer with Short Timelag (1969)

    Notes: The growing number of ground-water research projects that are based primarily on potential distribution data has stimulated the development of several new types of potential measuring, instruments. The primary requirements for these instruments are longevity, precision, sensitivity, and short timelag. Ease of installation, minimum maintenance, low capital investment, and provision of a continuous record are equally desirable. Generally, available instruments will satisfy two or three, but not all of these requirements.The need for a piezometer possessing all these characteristics was encountered during a flow-system study beneath an irrigated field. A piezometer subsequently was designed which combines the sensitivity of a Kecke electrical water-level sensing device with the continuous record provided by a Stevens Type F, graphic recorder. Replacement of the standard Keck sensing “Bob” with a probe specifically designed for small diameter pipes (5/16-inch I.D.),* provides instrumentation with a short timelag. The absence of a diaphragm and strain gauges enhances longevity. The device is inexpensive, simple and easily installed. Samples of well water for chemical analysis may also be obtained from the piezometers.

    An Adaptive Finite-Element Model for Calculating Subsurface Transport of Contaminant (1995)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Ground water 33 (1995), S. 0

    Notes: A finite-element method which incorporates mesh adaptation is used to calculate ground-water flow and pollutant transport. The formulation is based on the equations for conservation of mass, Darcy's law for an anisotropic medium, and the time-dependent species transport equation. Modifications have been implemented to the finite-element formulation to enhance computational speed and reduce storage; Petrov-Galerkin weighting of the advection terms provides numerical stability. An explicit time marching scheme is used to solve the transient equations. By utilizing unstructured adaptive meshing, species concentration and location of steep fronts are accurately resolved, even though one begins with a coarse mesh. The algorithm currently runs on PC and workstation class computers.

    Sedimentological responses to basin initiation in the Devonian of East Greenland (1997)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Sedimentology 44 (1997), S. 0

    Notes: The Devonian of East Greenland comprises a thick sequence of continental clastic sediments infilling an extensional basin. West of the main basin bounding fault (Western Fault Zone) are scattered outliers of Devonian conglomerate which accumulated in small basins such as found on the island, Ella Ø. The Ella Ø Basin formed by extensional movement along the Narhval Sund Fault accompanied by the formation of a prominent bedding parallel detachment surface which was subsequently modified by sub-aerial exposure to become the unconformity surface. Mapping of this unconformity surface shows major vertical relief. A thick sequence of conglomerate occurs on Ella Ø, which, close to its exposed basal unconformity, has three lacustrine beds intercalated within it. Detailed analysis of one lake unit shows it to have significant lateral variation. At proximal localities it largely comprises lacustrine turbidites, whereas more distal locations were within a stratified lake. The interpreted sequence of events on Ella Ø is an interval of fluvial sedimentation followed by rapid drowning of the topography with lacustrine sediments onlapping onto basement. After an interval of deeper lacustrine sedimentation including laminites, the lake shallowed, the lithology changed to limestone and the lake dried out. Conglomerate deposition then recommenced. Maximum lake water depth of 100 m is estimated following correction (7°) for post-Devonian rotation, both determined using the distribution of lacustrine sediments on the unconformity surface. The preferred mechanism for flooding of the Ella Ø Basin is episodic flooding of the entire basin system. Lacustrine sediment preservation results purely from its deposition amongst topography at the edge of the active fluvial system. In such fluvial systems lacustrine sediments may be part of the normal sedimentary cycle but were almost always removed by reworking.

    Assessment of Microbial Populations in Activated Sludge Using an Organism Diversity Index (2002)

    Notes: An organism diversity index for use with mixed liquor or wastewater samples was developed to assess the species richness and diversity of activated sludge. The index was used in several studies and was found to be fast and simple to perform using basic laboratory equipment. Two bench-scale and two pilot-scale studies found that the resulting ‘organism diversity index’value was a good indicator of process performance and was not influenced by the total concentration of the mixed-liquor suspended solids but by their nature alone. The technique rapidly yielded pertinent information about the health of the sludge and could be used instead of genetic investigations to obtain population information quickly enough for wastewater-treatment plant process control.

    Experiences of Digested Sludge Thickening by Aercon (1994)

    Notes: Increasing restrictions on sewage sludge disposal routes and the tightening of treatment requirements have led to an escalation of sludge-disposal costs which are out of proportion to other sewage-treatment costs: consequently reducing sludge volume is becoming increasingly cost-effective. Consolidation of anaerobically digested sludge has traditionally been difficult and takes many weeks in secondary digesters or deep storage tanks. Pre-aeration of the sludge using the Aercon process can enable consolidation to take place in days instead of weeks.This paper reports the results of a pilot-scale plant designed to investigate further the mechanism by which aeration speeds up consolidation. It was concluded that the rate of consolidation depended on aeration intensity and cooling of the sludge. Inhibition of anaerobiosis was more important than gas stripping in enhancing consolidation.

    The Fate of Heavy Metals in Pilot-Plant Scale Upflow Sludge-Blanket Clarifiers (1987)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Notes: The Removal of heavy metals and aluminium residuals during upflow sludge-blanket clarification was investigated using a pilot-plant system. Pilot units treating predosed raw water on site were assessed for sludge-blanket formation and stabilization, and were found to produce clarified water of a comparable quality to the main works units after the start-up and stabilization periods were complete. The heavy metals Cr, Fe, Mn, and Ni were the only heavy metals detectable at the investigation site and these occurred at concentrations well below guidelines values for potable abstraction and supply.Mean removals of Fe, Mn, Cr, and Ni were about 98, 89, 51, and 30 per cent respectively, during steady-state operation, and Fe, Mn, and Cr all displayed reduced removals during transient changes in surface load, whereas Ni removal appeared to be relatively independent. Aluminium residuals derived from the dosed alum coagulant also showed decreases in removal from about 83 per cent during steady-state operation to between 40 and 50 per cent during transient experiments.

    Non-linear multiparameter inversion using a hybrid global search algorithm: applications in reflection seismology (1995)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Notes: Many interesting inverse problems in geophysics are non-linear and multimodal. Parametrization of these problems leads to an objective function, or measure of agreement between data and model predictions, that has a complex topography with many local minima. Optimization algorithms that rely on local gradients in the objective function or that search the model space locally may become trapped in these local minima. By combining simulated annealing with the downhill simplex method, a hybrid global search algorithm is presented in this paper for non-linear, multimodal, inverse problems. The hybrid algorithm shares the advantages of both local search methods that perform well if the local model is suitable, and global methods that are able to explore efficiently the full model space. The hybrid algorithm also utilizes a larger and more complex memory to store information on the objective function than simulated annealing algorithms. The effectiveness of this new scheme is evaluated in three problems: minimization of the multidimensional Rosenbrock function, non-linear, 1-D, acoustic waveform inversion, and residual statics. The performance of the hybrid algorithm is compared with simulated annealing and genetic algorithms and is shown to converge more rapidly and to have a higher success rate of locating the global minimum for the cases investigated.

    Towards a quantitative description of field-impressed anisotropy of susceptibility (1996)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Notes: A simplified model of domain rearrangement in multidomain particles following the application of an alternating (AF) or direct (DF) field is used to quantify the dependence of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility on magnetic history. To be able to account for changes in the average susceptibility (i.e. The average of three mutually perpendicular susceptibility measurements) of the sample following field treatment, the model has to be refined by introducing interaction between domains. By fitting theoretical curves of anisotropy versus peak AF to experimental results for samples containing different size fractions of magnetite particles, of average grain size ranging from 0.7 to 58 μm, four relevant parameters can be computed (for each sample), which enables a good fit to be obtained. By allowing two of these parameters to change systematically when a DF is applied (and an IRM is acquired), the anisotropy dependence on direct field strength can also be modelled. This includes the sign change observed as the field-impressed ellipsoid changes from prolate to oblate, together with increases in the average susceptibility as the field increases. However, some details, such as discrepancies between predicted and actual increases in the average susceptibility at high fields, suggest that further refinement of the model is required.

    The angular dependence of the median destructive field of magnetite particles (1994)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Geophysical journal international 118 (1994), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-246X

    Notes: The angular variation of the median destructive field (MDF) of magnetite particles has been determined by subjecting anisotropic samples carrying an isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) to static AF demagnetization, with the AF at an angle to the IRM. The alignment was produced by dispersing the magnetite particles in resin in the presence of a magnetic field thus making the sample anisotropic. After tumble demagnetization, an IRM in 80 mT was given to each sample along the alignment axis. 11 different particle sizes were used covering the range 0.7–82 μm. The results for all the samples are remarkably similar in that the MDF is smallest when the AF is applied parallel to the alignment axis and greatest when the AF is perpendicular to the axis. The results are also very similar to those found experimentally for single-domain ‘tape’ particles and indicate that the reversal mechanism even in the smallest particles is not by coherent reversal as in the Stoner-Wohlfarth model. The angular variation of the MDF for all the particle sizes is described quite well by a function derived by Aharoni for single-domain particles. The MDF at θ= 0 is found to be inversely proportional to the square root of the particle size.
