    Description: The Larderello geothermal field is located ca. 100 km southeast of Florence, in the northern part of a volcanic zone that extends along the Italian Tyrrhenian coast. Geophysical investigations in the area suggest a crustal thinning and an injection of hot material from the upper mantle into the crust.

    Notes: Summary We tested the effects of two organic fertilizers (composts) and lime on the soil fauna of a spruce stand. One compost was obtained from chopped wood and the other from household garbage. At the time of distribution the pH of the control plots averaged 3.2, the garbage compost had a pH of 7.5, and the wood compost of 6.2. During the experimental period the pH of the compost layers decreased. The pH of the former litter layer beneath the composts showed a steep increase after 5 months, but beneath the treatment with wood compost this effect did no persist. Liming increased the pH only slightly in the litter layer. The two types of compost, the litter layer, and lumbricids (Lumbricus rubellus) were analyzed for concentrations of essential and potentially toxic elements. The element burden was highest in the garbage compost with 7- to 11-fold concentrations of Zn, Cd, Pb, Mg, and Cu compared to the needle litter. K, Ba, and Ca were 4 times more concentrated. L. rubellus showed an increased Cu concentration after extraction from the highly contaminated sites of garbage compost. Despite the differences in Pb contamination in the needle litter and in the two compost types, all investigated individuals of L. rubellus contained similar concentrations of Pb. In contrast to Pb, Cd accumulated in this lumbricid. Seasonal fluctuations of microarthropods, their total abundance, and differences in the colonization of the compost layers were observed. Collembola abundance was significantly increased in the garbage compost plots in July 91. There were generally more Prostigmata in the control and limed plots than in the compost plots. Oribatid numbers fell under all treatments compared to the controls. Mesostigmata were identified to species level and 33 species were found in the experimental areas. Certain species, such as Arctoseius cetratus and Uropoda minima, were only found in the treated sites.

    Notes: The efficiency of aircraft and industrial gas turbines and combustion engines depends onthe maximum operation temperature and, therefore, on the properties of the commercial hightemperature materials. In the temperature range 500°C to 750°C γ-titanium aluminides especiallyalloys of the third generation represent an attractive alternative to the established nickel-basesuperalloys which have the double density. Due to superimposed cyclic thermal and cyclicmechanical loadings during start-up and shut-down operations structural components in gas turbinesand combustion engines may not only be exposed to isothermal but also to thermo-mechanical fatigue(TMF). In this study the cyclic deformation and fatigue behaviour under thermo-mechanical load ofthe γ-TiAl alloy TNB-V5 with near-gamma microstructure is evaluated. To set a fatigue-life relationstrain-controlled thermo-mechanical fatigue tests were carried out with two different strain ranges,different temperature-strain cycles and different temperature ranges from 400°C to 800°C. Additionallow-cycle fatigue (LCF) tests were performed at 400°C, 600°C and 800°C for comparison. Cyclicdeformation curves, stress-strain hysteresis loops and fatigue lives of the tests are presented. Theshortest fatigue lives are always observed in out-of phase (OP) tests, the longest in in-phase (IP) tests.Clockwise-diamond (CD) and counter-clockwise diamond (CCD) testing yield similar fatigue livesintermediate between those of OP and IP tests. For a general life prediction the double-logarithmicplot of the damage parameter by Smith, Watson and Topper vs. fatigue life is well suitable

    Notes: The scattering of acoustic waves in random media is investigated numerically by a finite difference method and is compared with the predictions of single scattering theory. the random media are characterized by autocorrelation functions which allow the construction of spatially anisotropic random structures with different correlation lengths a and b perpendicular and parallel to the propagation direction. If a equals b, the attenuation of the transmitted wave can be successfully explained by single scattering theory. the attenuation maximum occurs at kb≈ 1-2, where k is the wavenumber. For media with a 〉 b we observe a stronger attenuation than expected from single scattering theory for kb greater than 6. the attenuation peak is shifted to smaller kb values when the spatial anisotropy of the random fluctuations is increased. the investigation of the seismic coda shows that the single scattering theory cannot explain the time dependence of the coda. Coda Q, as determined from the coda decay rate under the single scattering assumption, does not describe the scattering attenuation. In 1-D random media the decay rate of the coda observed in transmission decreases with increasing standard deviation of the impedance fluctuations. In the 2-D case the decay rate increases slightly with the standard deviation.

    Notes: Seismic waves in a random medium (with standard deviation ε and correlation distance a of the relative slowness fluctuations) prefer fast paths, and therefore the apparent velocity of wave propagation is larger than the velocity which corresponds to the volume average of slowness. This velocity shift can be determined by ray perturbation theory (Snieder & Sambridge 1992), by the Huygens method (Podvin & Lecomte 1991) and by wave theory (Müller, Roth & Korn 1992). We apply all three methods to plane-wave propagation through a 2-D acoustic medium with Gaussian or exponential autocorrelation function of the slowness fluctuations. Ray perturbation theory gives numerical and analytical results, but has path-length (L) limitations. The Huygens method, which also gives the ray-theoretical velocity shift, can be used for L/a ratios of seismological interest. Wave theory shows that the velocity shift also depends on the wavelength λ and that for λ/a less than about 0.1 the velocity shift agrees with the result of the Huygens method. For λ/a= 1 the wave-theoretical (i.e. true) shift is lower than the Huygens-method shift by a factor of 0.25 to 0.5. Simple formulae for the ε dependence of the Huygens-method shift at long path lengths (L/a≤ 80) are given, and a correction factor is derived which approximately transforms plane-wave 2-D into spherical-wave 3-D velocity shifts; the latter correspond to 3-D two-point ray tracing.For short-period seismic waves, propagating to teleseismic distances, mantle heterogeneity with ε= 1 per cent and a= 100 km produces a velocity shift of about 0.2 per cent. Shifts of this order can explain the difference in earth models, derived from free oscillations on the one hand and from short-period body waves on the other. A velocity shift (or velocity dispersion) due to anelasticity would be additional.

    Notes: A ray-theoretical relation is established between the autocorrelation function of the slowness fluctuations of a random medium and the autocorrelation function of the traveltime fluctuations on a profile perpendicular to the general propagation direction of an originally plane wave. Although this relation can be inverted exactly, it is preferable for applications to use the results of a forward calculation for a modified exponential autocorrelation function which represents slowness fluctuations with zero mean. The essential parameters of this autocorrelation function, standard deviation ε and correlation distance a, follow by simple relations from the maximum and the zero crossing of the corresponding autocorrelation function of the traveltime fluctuations. The traveltime analysis of 2-D finite-difference seismograms shows that ε and a can be reconstructed successfully, if the wavelength-to-correlation-distance ratio is 0.5 or less. Otherwise, ε is underestimated and a overestimated; however, both effects can be compensated for.The average traveltime, as determined from the finite-difference seismograms, is slightly, but systematically shorter than the traveltime according to the average slowness, i.e. the wave prefers fast paths through the medium. This is in agreement with results of Wielandt (1987) for a spherical low-velocity inclusion in a full-space and with results of Soviet authors, summarized by Petersen (1990). The velocity shift is proportional to ε2, it has dispersion similar to the dispersion related to anelasticity, and it increases with the pathlength of the wave.

    Notes: Abstract. This review surveys the available literature on the efficacy and ecotoxicology of chemotherapeutic agents for the control of sea lice (Copepoda: Caligidae) infestations in marine aquaculture. To date, treatment for the disease has relied almost exclusively on the use of the organophosphorus pesticides, trichlorfon and dichlorvos. While use of dichlorvos and trichlorfon appears to have little, if any, environmental impact, protracted use in some areas has led to reduced efficacy. Compounds proposed for sea lice control currently under field evaluation include azamethiphos (organophosphate), ivermectin (avermectin), pyrethrum (pyrethrin) and hydrogen peroxide. Although all of these compounds are effi cacious, at present published information on marine environmental toxicology is scarce and is limited to in vitro toxicity testing. Other compounds that have been considered for sea lice control include formalin, malathion (organophosphate), carbaryl (carbamate), diflubenzuron (insect growth regulator) and natural remedies (i.e. onions and garlic). In general, formaldehyde (aldehyde), malathion and natural compounds show either poor efficacy or unsuitable therapeutic margins. Although carbaryl and diflubenzuron are both efficacious and exhibit suitable therapeutic margins, available data suggests that the compounds, due to undesirable environmental toxicological characteristics, would be unsuitable for sea lice control.
