    Notes: Abstract At Medicine Lake volcano, California, andesite of the Holocene Burnt Lava flow has been produced by fractional crystallization of parental high alumina basalt (HAB) accompanied by assimilation of granitic crustal material. Burnt Lava contains inclusions of quenched HAB liquid, a potential parent magma of the andesite, highly melted granitic crustal xenoliths, and xenocryst assemblages which provide a record of the fractional crystallization and crustal assimilation process. Samples of granitic crustal material occur as xenoliths in other Holocene and Pleistocene lavas, and these xenoliths are used to constrain geochemical models of the assimilation process. A large amount of assimilation accompanied fractional crystallization to produce the contaminated Burnt lava andesites. Models which assume that assimilation and fractionation occurred simultaneously estimate the ratio of assimilation to fractional crystallization (R) to be 〉1 and best fits to all geochemical data are at an R value of 1.35 at F=0.68. Petrologic evidence, however, indicates that the assimilation process did not involve continuous addition of granitic crust as fractionation occurred. Instead, heat and mass transfer were separated in space and time. During the assimilation process, HAB magma underwent large amounts of fractional crystallization which was not accompanied by significant amounts of assimilation. This fractionation process supplied heat to melt granitic crust. The models proposed to explain the contamination process involve fractionation, replenishment by parental HAB, and mixing of evolved and parental magmas with melted granitic crust.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract 25 new K-Ar data are presented for Upper Cenozoic andesites and ignimbrites from the Andes of north Chile between 20° 30′ S and 22° 30′ S. The original simple volcanic stratigraphy of andesites overlying ignimbrites has been refined. A more complicated stratigraphy, with some andesites predating the ignimbrites, is described. The sequence and timing of volcanic events differ along the length of the north Chilean Andes. Ages of the earliest widespread ignimbrite eruptions range from 21 m. y. to 10 m. y., in different segments of the volcanic chain. The existence of two large acid extrusives of Quaternary age suggests that generation of acid magmas has continued until recently.
    Abstract: Résumé On présente 25 valeurs nouvelles sur l'âge radiométrique des andésites et des ignimbrites du Cénozoïque supérieur des Andes du nord du Chili entre les latitudes 20° 30′ et 22° 30′ S. L'ancienne stratigraphie simplifiée où les andésites surmontent les ignimbrites a été révisée, et remplacée par une stratigraphie plus compliquée où quelques andéseites précèdent les ignimbrites. La succession et la chronologie des éruptions volcaniques diffèrent le long des Andes du nord du Chili. Dans les différentes parties de la chaîne volcanique, l'âge des premières grandes eruptions d'ignimbrites varie entre 21 et 10 M. a. La présence de deux grandes coulées acides d'âge quaternaire permet de supposer que des magmas acides continuent à se former.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung 25 neue K-Ar-Daten von känozoischen Andesiten und Ignimbriten der nordchilenischen Anden zwischen 20° 30′ S und 22° 30′ S werden vorgestellt. Die ursprünglich einfache Stratigraphie — Andesite überlagern Ignimbrite — wurde verfeinert, und eine komplexere Stratigraphie, bei der einige Andesite älter sind als die Ignimbrite, wird beschrieben. Die Reihenfolge und der zeitliche Ablauf vulkanischer Tätigkeit sind in den nordchilenischen Anden komplex. Die ältesten ausgedehnten Ignimbritdecken reichen in den verschiedenen Abschnitten der Vulkanzone von 21 bis 10 Mio. Jahre. Das Vorhandensein von zwei großen sauren quartären Extrusionszyklen läßt vermuten, daß die Bildung von sauren Magmen bis in die Gegenwart andauerte.

    Notes: Abstract The principal uses of Landsat imagery in volcanological studies are for regional reconnaisance, for the interpretation of large volcanic structures and to facilitate the comparison of structures in different parts of the world. Standard black and white single band prints and standard false colour composites are the cheapest and most readily available forms of Landsat imagery. However, standard Landsat images have a poorer resolution and lower information content than enhanced images. The most generally useful enhancement techniques for volcanic studies have proved to be destriping. contrast stretching and edge enhancement. Enhancement techniques are illustrated with examples of young volcanic structures from the Central Andes. The next few years should see significant advances in satellite remote sensing technology with higher resolution imagery (down to 10–30m) and imagery in a wider range of spectral bands becoming available.

    Notes: Abstract Three potential chemical controls (sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and poly[oxyethylene (dimethylimino) ethylene (dimethylimino) ethylene dichloride] (commercial trade name BULAB 6002)) were evaluated for acute toxicity to small adult zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) in chronic and pulsed-dose laboratory trials at two temperatures. All three control agents tested effected greater mortality ofD. polymorpha at 22°C than at 12°C. In most cases the mortality level at 12°C was one half or less that incurred at the higher temperature. Analysis of variance showed significant effects of temperature in the case of BULAB 6002 and for hydrogen peroxide; plots of cumulative mortality through time show this trend as well. The relationship between mussel valve length and time-of-death is consistently positive but is significant in few individual treatments, however, when treatments (all concentrations and temperatures) for a single biocide are pooled, the relationship is significant and explains 16–26% of the variance. This suggests that control programs might be more effective if they are initiated whenD. polymorpha are small. Pulsed-dose control programs also are affected by temperature but generally are likely to be more cost-effective than continuous application control programs and would result in lower overall discharge of biocides to surface waters. Hydrogen peroxide at concentrations of 12.0, 20.0, or 30.0 mg/L is a quick acting control agent that probably will have fewer long-term consequences for nontarget organisms in discharge areas or for municipal water users than either BULAB 6002 or, especially, sodium hypochlorite.

    Notes: Abstract Small adult zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), 2–8 mm valve length, collected from Lake St. Clair were exposed to a range of concentrations of three biocides in static, acute toxicity tests in the laboratory. Laboratory conditions (22°C; pH 7.8; water hardness ≈ 100 mg/L) were representative of midsummer conditions in the nearshore of Lakes Erie and St. Clair. Mussels actively colonized styrene test substrates which were transferred to three replicate, 1-L test vessels. Sodium hypochlorite was an effective biocide at concentrations exceeding 1.00 mg/L and resulted in complete mortality of mussels by 157 and 264 h at concentrations of 5.00 and 2.50 mg/L, respectively. Poly [oxyethylene (dimethylimino) ethylene (dimethylimino) ethylene dichloride] at 1,2,4 and 8 mg/l and (2-(thiocyanomethylthio) benzothiazole) at 0.5,1,2 and 4 mg/L resulted in 100% mortality at all concentrations in times ranging from 144 to 250 h and 110 to 192 h, respectively. Biocide concentration significantly affected the mean time of death for all three of the compounds tested. Mussel valve length had a significant positive effect on time of death in (2-(thiocyanomethylthio) benzothiazole) but only explained a maximum 18% of the variance. Resistance of these actively colonizing mussels to biocides was greater than that found by other laboratory studies, perhaps because of lowered handling stress in our experimental manipulations.

    Notes: Abstract A series of experiments were conducted to determine the effects of maintenance method (fed or starved), stock location, season, mussel size, and rate of acclimation to temperature on the responses (mortality) of zebra mussels in bioassays. Mussels maintained on a diet of crushed Chlorella are more tolerant to Bayer 73® and more sensitive to sodium hypochlorite than starved mussels. Variability in LC50s of zebra mussels is high during the first ≈60 days in the laboratory, after which the resistance of mussels to both hypochlorite and Bayer 73® declines with reductions in body condition. Zebra mussels collected during the early summer and late fall are more tolerant to both hypochlorite and Bayer 73®. There is significant variation in tolerances to biocides depending on the stock, such that stocks from locations with more degraded water quality have increased tolerances. Acclimating mussels from 4 to 20°C at rates of 2 and 10°C d−1 does not significantly affect tolerance to biocides. In general, LC50s of mussels vary by only 2–3×, suggesting that mussels from any location, any season, and maintained under any maintenance protocol can be used in “range-finding” tests. Comparisons of results among studies requires knowledge of mussel stock, collection season, and laboratory maintenance protocols.

    Notes: Abstract We have relocated seismicity occurring in the Permian Basin of west Texas between 1975 and 1979 using three-dimensional velocity models constructed from well log information and compared the locations to detailed geological and geophysical models of specific oil fields. The seismicity appears to be related to a variety of causes including migration of naturally occurring overpressured fluids, tectonic activity, reservoir production, and enhanced recovery operations. Many earthquakes may represent a combination of these effects. Although the Permian Basin is the site of numerous oil and gas fields, only a limited number of fields appears to be associated with seismicity. We find that there are similarities in the structural setting in the fields associated with seismicity. Furthermore, fields within the Delaware Basin that are associated with seismicity are located in regions of high vertical and lateral fluid pressure gradients related to an overpressured zone within the Delaware Basin.

    Notes: Abstract. Human TIP30 is a cofactor that specifically enhances human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) Tat-activated transcription. The sequence of TIP30 is identical to that of CC3, a protein associated with metastasis suppression. TIP30/CC3 is a member of the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. Of the several experimentally determined SDR structures, Escherichia coli uridine diphosphate (UDP) galactose-4 epimerase is most similar to TIP30/CC3. Because the direct sequence similarity between TIP30/CC3 and E. coli UDP galactose-4 epimerase is low, we used the transitive nature of homology and employed two Aquifex aeolicus proteins as intermediaries in the homology modeling process. Comparison of our structural model with that of known SDRs reveals that TIP30/CC3 contains several well-conserved features, including a βαβ fold at the amino terminus, which we predict binds NADP(H). TIP30/CC3 contains characteristic motifs at the catalytic site of SDRs, including a serine, tyrosine, and lysine that are important in catalyzing hydride transfer between substrate and cofactor. We also predict that a unique 20-amino acid sequence found at the amino terminus is an α-helix. Because this region contains several positively and negatively charged amino acids, it may dock TIP30/CC3 to other proteins. Our structural model points to this α-helix and the SDR-like part of TIP30/CC3 for mutagenesis experiments to elucidate its role in HIV-1 Tat-activated transcription, metastasis suppression, and other cellular functions.

    Notes: Abstract. The proton-translocating NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase or complex I is located in the inner membranes of mitochondria, where it catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone. Here we report that one of the subunits in complex I is homologous to short-chain dehydrogenases and reductases, a family of enzymes with diverse activities that include metabolizing steroids, prostaglandins and nucleotide sugars. We discovered that a subunit of complex I in human, cow, Neurospora crassa and Aquifex aeolius is homologous to nucleotide-sugar epimerases and hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases while seeking distant homologs of these enzymes with a hidden Markov model-based search of Genpept. This homology allows us to use information from the solved three-dimensional structures of nucleotide-sugar epimerases and hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases and our motif analysis of these enzymes to predict functional domains on their homologs in complex I.
