    Notes: Dipole-dipole induced polarization (IP) data are displayed typically as multi-level profiles, or as contours on vertical sectional plots referred to as pseudo-sections. The dipole-dipole array tends to yield IP anomalies in which the most anomalous values are displaced laterally from the source body. The data patterns are fairly interpretable on pseudo-sections or on multi-level profiles but are sufficiently complex to discourage the contouring of the data in plan.A method was developed for the presentation of dipole-dipole IP data on a contour map. The method consists of a simple averaging of data which can be performed manually if desired. It yields a single output value per station which reflects all levels of the pseudo-section, and is suitable for contouring in plan. The advantage of the technique is that it provides a quantitative picture of IP anomalies in their background or regional setting.

    Notes: Constant offset sections can be mapped to a fixed offset and compared in order to provide a method of velocity analysis. The direct mapping to zero offset prior to stack might provide an alternative processing procedure to NMO and stack. The main advantage of such a procedure would lie in the correct treatment of cross-dips, but interpretational advantages might also follow from the performance of partial stacks biased to either high or low offset information.

    Notes: Induced polarization and resistivity model studies over thin dykes for varying resistivity contrasts, depth of burial, and dip angles show striking parallelism of the surface apparent resistivity contours with the boundary of the body. This effect may be utilized for the estimation of strike length of the body. Results show that intermediate values of the electrode spacing is satisfactory for detection under widely varying conditions of resistivity contrast and depth. The percentage frequency effect (P.F.E.) and the metal factor (M.F.) responses are found to be more sensitive to the variation in the depth of burial than the resistivity responses. Pseudosections for P.F.E. and M.F. are concentrated much closer to the body than the resistivity pseudo-sections.

    Notes: A direct interpretation scheme is developed which is capable of determining most of the geological features of a ground which can be assumed to be two dimensional in structure. This scheme extends the earlier work of Pekeris (1940) and Koefoed (1968) to the case where the basal layer of a ground is undulating. It also has a limited use for finding the parameters of a dipping dyke in the lower medium. Though the top and dip of the dyke can be determined, this is not true for the thickness.

    Notes: Laboratory studies of absorption-frequency behavior in rocks often use spectral ratios of digitally recorded ultrasonic signals which have been transmitted through a rock sample and a reference sample of very low absorption, respectively. It is proposed to treat the digitally recorded signals as an autoregressive-moving average (ARMA) process which, using recursive filter concepts, can be represented as a ratio of two polynomials in the z-transform variable z. The numerator polynomial contains only that part of the signal that is modified by anelastic effects, whereas the denominator contains the elastic effects of the physical apparatus such as reverberations. Examples are given which show that this separation of the recorded signal greatly facilitates the laboratory investigation of loss mechanisms and absorption-frequency behavior based on spectral ratios.

    Notes: The generalized integral equation for the electric potential governed by a quasi-harmonic equation can be derived via a variational formulation. For surface current distributions it is not always a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Numerical solutions of the general heterogeneous problem can be obtained with the “reciprocal averaging technique”, where the solution is obtained a second time after exchange of source and field points.

    Notes: A method to calculate the resistivity transform of Schlumberger VES curves has been developed. It consists in approximating the field apparent resistivity data by utilizing a linear combination of simple functions, which must satisfy the following requirements: (i) they must be suitable for fitting the resistivity data; (ii) once the fitting function has been obtained they allow the kernel to be determined in an analytic way.The fitting operation is carried out by the least mean squares method, which also accomplishes a useful smoothing of the field curve (and therefore a partial noise filtering). It gives the possibility of assigning different weights to the apparent resistivity values to be approximated according to their different reliability.For several examples (theoretical resistivity curves in order to estimate the precision of the method and with field data to verify the practicality) yield good results with short execution time independent of shape the apparent resistivity curve.

    Notes: A method is given for solving the dc electric field problem of a point current source in an anisotropic 2 1/2-dimensional structural model. The surface integral equation of the field strength is given. Parallel to the strike the field strength is represented by a Fourier series. On the plane perpendicular to the strike each term of the field strength series is solved by means of the method of sub-sections, where linear behaviour of field strength over the sub-sections is assumed. Some numerical examples for different galvanic effects are given.

    Notes: It is proposed that the vertical resolving power of a seismic signal is controlled by three aspects: the width of the central lobe, the side lobe ratio, and the side-tail oscillations. A comparative study of zero-phase signals covering the same frequency range shows that improvement of any one of these aspects inevitably leads to deterioration of one of the other aspects.An analytical simulation model is proposed of zero-phase signals free from side-tail oscillations, in which both the width of the central lobe and the side lobe ratio are adjustable. Analysis of the spectra of this model shows that, while the high frequency content of the spectrum is essential for obtaining a small width of the central lobe, the low frequency content of the spectrum plays an essential part in causing a low value of the side lobe ratio.

    Notes: The objective of this study is to generate the separation-distance-domain (r-domain) transformation of the theoretically calculated wave number domain (m-domain) electromagnetic induction field component Bz(m, ω) of a stratified medium and to search for interpretive information which has been absent in the previously achieved numerical solutions of the problem.The r-domain kernel R̃(r, ω) function defining the induction field appears to adequately reflect the layering and electrical properties of the medium if it is expressed as a function of the frequency if the source-receiver separation r is small with respect to the thickness of the first layer. However, exact values of the conductivity cannot be distinguished from those of the neighboring values unless a resistive basement layer is present. This feature is the result of the truncation in series representation of the kernel function R̃(m, ω). However, this truncation is regarded as significant in the case of a conductive first layer. In m-domain static-zone studies, a conductive first layer slightly influences its r-domain correspondent.Although the computational cost of obtaining the kernel B(r, ω) by evaluation of the convolution in a cylindrical coordinate system is high, this semi-analytic solution is still superior to those based on the asymptotic assumptions.

    Notes: Les différentes sources d'erreurs de la mesure gravimétrique sont examinées. Leur connaissance a une importance particulière dans les prospections de surface, dites “microgravimétriques”.Les auteurs démontrent, expériences à l'appui, que toutes précautions prises, la source la plus fréquente d'erreurs de mesure en microgravimétrie est une mauvaise estimation de la dérive.Les auteurs exposent alors un processus de mesure et d'interprétation dont le but est une meilleure estimation de la dérive. La justification théorique et expérimentale du processus est donnée. La méthode implique une prise de mesure suivant une répartition spatiale aléatoire ou semi-aléatoire. Un cas réel est décrit.

    Notes: A number of time-domain IP traverses were carried out across two parallel mineralized sheets in the Lower Pillow Lavas, near Mitsero, Cyprus with Huntec Mark III equipment using the pole-dipole array. In one sheet the mineralization was disseminated (2%S), and in the other it was massive (30%S). The transients were recorded at separation n= 2 at a number of points to give the complete shape of the curves. The normalized time integrals were anomalous over the two sheets, but were not significantly different; the highest values being observed over the disseminated sheet. Both sheets were also associated with high electromagnetic components of the decay curve. The chargeability and resistivity values obtained over the disseminated body were considerably higher. The metal factor was also of value in discriminating between massive ore, disseminated mineralization, and barren rock. The values of P2 and P3 for the two bodies were also compared (P2 and P3 are defined by〈displayedItem type="mathematics" xml:id="mu1" numbered="no"〉〈mediaResource alt="image" href="urn:x-wiley:00168025:GPR906:GPR_906_mu1"/〉where M1 to M4 are the amplitudes of the decay curve at 55, 130, 280 and 580 ms respectively). For the massive ore, P was inversely related to M, but for the disseminated ore P was independent of M. Four simple parameters from the decay curves show that indices of curve shape offer the best prospect of grade discrimination.

    Notes: Large gravity platforms are often used as alternatives to the more conventional pilesupported structures in hydrocarbon exploitation. A gravity structure, as opposed to the piled structure, is sitting on the sea floor by virtue of its weight and base width; as such it poses considerable problems for the site investigation engineer. One such problem is the calculation of the settlement of the structure and its time history; these depend upon the permeability and compressibility of the soil and its drainage conditions. The required data are usually obtained by sampling for subsequent laboratory testing. The collection of an undisturbed sample is beset by problems so that the consolidation behavior of the foundation material can only be inadequately assessed by laboratory testing. However, a series of laboratory consolidation experiments during which seismic velocities have been measured on the sample as consolidation proceeds shows that it is possible to reconstruct the stress-strain and time-dependent curves from the seismic data, once the initial void ratio and permeability of the soil are known. This leads the way to an in situ technique for predicting settlement using a combination of geophysical techniques (electrical resistivity and seismic velocities) to obtain the required engineering properties.

    Notes: An underground gravity study was carried out under extreme conditions of the Alpine regions. The lead–zinc mine Bleiberg, Carinthia, was selected as an example to show the possibilities and limitations of the subsurface gravity method. For in situ density determinations, gravity measurements were made in two vertical mine shafts passing through Triassic sedimentary rocks of the Bleiberg Unit. The main prblem in gravity data reduction in extremely rugged topography is the accurate calculation of the terrain effect on underground stations. A general discussion of the various corrections required for the gravity measurements in the mine is presented. The mean interval densities in the two shafts, in limestone, dolomite, and schists formations, were determined as 2.76 and 2.77 g/cm3, respectively, with an accuracy of better than 0.01 g/cm3 for a depth interval of 50 m. The interval densities provide valuable information about the lithological and structural changes in the shaft surroundings and also agree well with the representative hand sample densities.In the second part, the applications of subsurface horizontal gravity surveys in exploration are discussed. Since the influence of topography is less underground because of the greater distance to the surface, subsurface surveys have definite advantages over surface surveys and can be very helpful in locating anomalous density zones in the mines. An example of gravity survey with a station spacing of 10 m at a depth of about 540 m is presented.

    Notes: Lateral inhomogeneities generate fluctuations in the traveltime of seismic waves. By evaluation of these traveltime fluctuations from different source and receiver positions, lateral inhomogeneities can be located using a pseudo inverse matrix method (Aki, Christoffersson and Husebye 1977). The formulation of the problem is possible for transmitted waves as well as for reflected and refracted waves. In reflection seismics this method is of importance, if no reflections from the inhomogeneities themselves, but only reflections from lower boundaries can be observed.The basic assumptions for the mathematical formulation are (1) the average velocities and depths of the reflecting horizons are known already from standard processing methods, and (2) the traveltime residuals are due to lateral velocity changes between different reflectors or between reflectors and the surface. The area of the earth to be considered is divided into layers and the layers into rectangular blocks. The parallel displacement of a ray after passing a disturbed block is neglected, only the traveltime residual is taken into account.In this paper the method and its application to data obtained with two-dimensional models are described.

    Notes: The electric and magnetic fields generated by horizontal electric and vertical magnetic dipoles lying on the surface of a conducting medium with horizontal anisotropy are investigated. Full expressions of their Fourier transforms are given, and the fields for a vertical magnetic dipole are calculated numerically. The radial and vertical magnetic components are found to be independent of the receiver-transmitter direction, whereas the other magnetic and electric components strongly vary with this direction. These results give useful criteria for defining the direction and amplitude of anisotropy from ground data; a ground experiment on fissured limestone was found to confirm the expected variations of the various field components. It is believed that this electromagnetic method can be used in order to provide information about the direction and amplitude of electric anisotropy.

    Notes: On the basis of known relationships between various elastic moduli and porosity in a porous medium and of various parameters from well-logs, the reflection coefficient for normal incidence of P-waves is compared to that of S-waves. If pores contain gas, the reflection coefficient in S is much smaller than that of P but shows large differences for different gas concentration in one of the two layers while the reflection coefficient in P is insensitive to the gas concentration. It is found that the ratio of the two reflection coefficients provides a powerful tool for discriminating between layers of different degrees of gas concentration and for the extension of the sensitivity of the bright-spot technique to greater depths.

    Notes: The laterites in Burundi, which are formed by weathering of ultrabasic rocks, show a complete profile with the following horizons: canga, the ferruginous crust capping, ferralite, consisting essentially of iron hydroxides, and saprolite, which contains a large quantity of hydrosilicate minerals. Nickel bearing minerals occur in the saprolite and the lower portion of ferralite.Resistivity well-logging and resistivity sounding indicated that the electrical properties of rocks depend upon their composition: Canga and ferralite showed high resistivities of 6,500 Ωm and 800 Ωm, respectively. The resistivity of saprolite was found to be much lower, between 10 Ωm and 20 Ωm. The laterite is underlain by resistive peridotite. The chargeability of saprolite was found to be lower than that of the upper horizons and the bedrock.Electrolytic conductivity of laterite, which depends on the geometry of the deposit, was found to be low, because the laterite contains moisture and ground water, which are highly resistive. The relatively high conductivity of saprolite is caused by nickeliferous hydrosilicates, which exhibit the electrical properties of clay minerals, with an apparent maximum conductivity of 0.25 S/m. The conductivity of saprolite corresponds to a concentration between 30% and 50% of conductive silicate minerals distributed in the pore space of deposit. A nickel enrichment of up to 6% was estimated from the resistivity of the saprolite.Prospecting for laterites by electrical sounding showed that the development of laterite horizons in a nickel deposit correlates with the surface morphology of weathered ultrabasic massif. Thus the method can be used in preliminary exploration of such deposits.

    Notes: Thirty-eight gravity method estimates of the depth to the pre-Cenozoic surface under Yucca Flat are used to determine the statistical accuracy associated with the gravity method. Results indicate that the gravity method tends to overestimate the depth to the pre-Cenozoic surface, on the average, by 3.5 m with a standard deviation of 75.2 m. No significant change of this statistical estimate was observed with (1) depth, (2) location, or (3) date when the gravity-method estimate was made.

    Notes: Since its development some thirty years ago, the airborne electromagnetic (AEM) method has been primarily used as a tool for mineral prospecting. However, advanced AEM systems are capable of other tasks, such as geological mapping and groundwater exploration. Excellent correlation between maps of apparent conductivity and geological maps was observed in several regions of Brazil where AEM surveys were performed. The degree of correlation seems to depend on the local climate. In humid and subhumid tropical regions, a weathered layer develops whose thickness and conductivity depend upon bedrock lithology. Therefore certain lithological types can be recognized from their conductivity signature; e.g., granites and Precambrian coarse clastic rocks are resistive, metavolcanic (particularly mafic) and volcanic rocks are conductive, Phanerozoic sediments are generally highly conductive.Two geophysical surveys are analyzed in the paper. The first was conducted with the time-domain, towed-bird AEM system in the Itapicuru greenstone belt in the state of Bahia. The apparent conductivity map correlated better with the local lithology than the magnetic map. Results of the AEM survey were successfully used to improve the regional geological map. A helicopter EM system was used in the second survey, which covered a portion of the Precambrian shield of Rio Grande do Sul. Also in this region ground checks confirmed the usefulness of conductivity surveys in geological mapping.The technique outlined in the paper holds great promise for countries of humid tropical climate, where few outcrops exist and access is often difficult. The tests performed in Brazil indicate that by executing AEM/aeromagnetic surveys during initial stages of mapping and exploration programs, time and expenditure required for geological field work can be considerably reduced. The resulting geological maps are more accurate and the inventory of mineral occurrences becomes more complete.

    Notes: The examination of apparent resistivity space sections over two-dimensional targets requires the accumulation of large amounts of data, if the resistivity field is to be adequately described.Whilst such data may be obtained from an intensive sounding traverse in the field, it is desirable for interpretation purposes to be able to generate such space sections for a range of model variations.Within their limitations, tank analogs can be used to provide such interpretation material, but the collection of data can itself be time-consuming. In this paper, an account is given of the development of an automated tank analog, where an entire space section can be scanned and the output obtained in paper tape format for later processing on a digital computer. The resistance measurement accuracy attained is comparable with normal field measurement accuracy.A practical example of the use of this analog in investigating the problem of resolving and discriminating between two horizontal cylindrical tunnels is given. This problem is basic to an understanding of the minimum size and disposition of targets which can be observed on a space section. The square array has been used in this example because of its good resolution properties in general prospecting rather than its particular suitability for the targets investigated. The directional response of the array is also illustrated and discussed.

    Notes: The “Autorité des amenegements des valées des Voltas (AVV)” is establishing new rural settlements in the Volta valleys. First, a survey of available water supplies is performed. Economic aquifers in Precambrian terrains are deep (15–50 m) and usually occur in fractured zones accompanying faults. Such zones can be identified on aerial photographs, but their precise location on the ground is virtually impossible by visual means. Because of the small size of the aquifers, a location error of 5 m can make the difference between a productive well and a dry hole.Traditionally, resistivity profiling has been used as the means of locating the fractured zones in the field. Our studies suggest that the task can be performed faster, cheaper and more accurately by VLF and EM methods. Because of the limited choice of transmitting stations reccivable in Upper Volta, the VLF method is not sufficiently sensitive to detect conductors with a strike between 45° and 105°. The results obtained with a multifrequency, horizontal-loop EM (HLEM) system were satisfactory in all investigated areas. During the 1980 field season, 35 target areas were surveyed. Of the 24 holes drilled so far, 23 are productive.The weathered layer is a source of distinctive HLEM anomalies, which are characteristic of the underlying rocks. Therefore, different interpretational procedures had to be developed for granitic and volcano-sedimentary areas. Despite the high background level of in-phase and quadrature components, which varied with thickness and conductivity of the weathered layer, aquifers could be detected at a depth greater than 30 m. Attempts were made to interpret the HLEM results quantitatively using two models: a three-layer medium and a valley discontinuity. The latter model is more realistic, but more scale modelling will have to be performed to permit development of viable interpretational procedures. Meanwhile, phasor diagrams based on drilling and resistivity sounding data can be used to estimate the aquifer depth.

    Notes: A type of iterative deconvolution that extracts the source waveform and reflectivity from a seismogram through the use of zero memory, non-linear estimators of reflection coefficient amplitnde is developed. Here, we present a theory for iterative deconvolution that is based upon the specification of a stochastic model describing reflectivity. The resulting parametric algorithm deconvolves the seismogram by forcing a filtered version of the seismogram to resemble an estimated reflection coefficient sequence. This latter time series is itself obtained from the filtered seismogram, and so a degree of iteration is required. Algorithms utilizing zero memory non-linearities (ZNLs) converge to a family of processes, which we call Bussgang, of which any colored Gaussian process and any independent process are members. The direction of convergence is controlled by the choice of ZNL used in the algorithm. Synthetic and real data show that, generally, five to ten iterations are required for acceptable deconvolutions.

    Notes: The magnetic anomaly due to a uniformly magnetized vertical rectangular prism and that due to an arbitrary structure which can be divided into a number of such prisms are expressed in forms suitable for rapid computation. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional cases are considered. The simplified expressions will find use in interpretation techniques where repeated computations have to be made of the anomaly due to prisms as in automated fitting of prism anomalies to observed magnetic anomalies using non-linear optimization techniques or related methods.

    Notes: The determination of the nature of reservoirs containing hydrocarbons is approached via a pattern-recognition method with prior learning. This method consists of comparing the nature of a reservoir that has been drilled into with an unknown reservoir. The known reservoir plays the part of a monitor for the learning process. To this end an algorithm is compiled using the Burg method of the features represented by different portions of traces contained in the reservoirs. An analysis of the dots representing these different features serves as a criterion for deciding whether the two reservoirs have identical or different natures.

    Notes: In this paper we design a non-linear filter to suppress surface multiples in a non-normal incidence plane wave seismogram of a horizontally-layered elastic (or acoustic) earth model. Our filter is optimal in a least-squares sense and is very efficient in suppressing surface multiples, especially for small incidence angles. The design is based on an extension of earlier work by Mendel on normal incidence Bremmer series decomposition to the case of non-normal incidence, and relies heavily on work by Aminzadeh on a non-normal incidence state space model.

    Notes: The radiation distribution of a single vibrator can be described using the formulas given by Miller and Pursey. From these the displacement characteristic for the radial component and also for horizontal component can be derived. This horizontal component is strengthened by adding another vibrator with opposite polarity near the first one. When this horizontal component is oriented perpendicular to the X-Z plane (plane spanned by the direction of the spread and the vertical axes), an SH-wave can be generated. Survey results indicate that this method works efficiently.

    Notes: Vertical velocity gradients can be readily accommodated in seismic refraction interpretations by using simple mathematical idealizations of curved raypaths entailed by certain analytic representations of these gradients. Computation procedures are formulated for velocity gradients in the overburden or an intermediate layer of a multilayer section. The former is demonstrated for an overburden velocity gradient manifest in published time-distance data.

    Notes: A laboratory instrument was developed to investigate the electrical properties of rock samples with respect to changes of frequency, temperature and pressure. The instrument can be used to obtain general trends and typical values for geological media. It should be of particular interest in geothermal studies and research in the geophysical properties of rocks.The design intervals for quantities under investigation were 20–300°C, 105-4 × 107 Pa and 5 × 10−4-103 Hz. Certain limitations exist on the simultaneous use of the highest values of temperature and pressure.The main features of the instrument are: analog electrical outputs recorded by an x-y recorder or observed on a scope with an attached camera (according to the frequency range); pressures produced by an oil hydraulic system in order to ensure electrical insulation of the sample; temperatures obtained by placing the pressure vessel into a thermostatically controlled room. Thus the monitoring instrumentation is directly accessible during the experiment. Information is also given about calibration procedures and examples of rock sample data are given.

    Notes: Optimum multichannel filters can be designed to process seismic events falling on hyperbolic moveout curves using the conventional least-squares method. Contrary to the linear moveout filters, autocorrelation and crosscorrelation functions inherent in the normal equations have to be computed numerically. However, computation times of filter coefficients are comparable to linear moveout operators.For a given source-receiver geometry and assuming straight ray-path, relative moveout of a seismic reflection event is dependent on the two way arrival time and rms velocity. Consequently, to avoid overlapping of pass and reject moveout windows, hyperbolic moveout filters have to be designed over time gates rather than for the whole record lengths. Hyperbolic and hyperbolic-linear moveout filters applied to synthetic and field seismic reflection traces show good signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio improvements. Results of some combined synthetic and field data examples are presented.

    Notes: A simple theory is presented to derive explicit recursive migration schemes in three dimensions which are suitable for situations with lateral velocity variations. The proposed schemes can be realized by one-dimensional convolutions along the x-axis and y-axis. An investigation is made on the errors of each scheme. For each frequency component the amplitude error and the phase error are computed as a function of the immergence angle (dip). Based on the error analysis a critical discussion is given on the stability of explicit schemes.

    Notes: Due to non-linear effects, the swept frequency signals (sweeps) transmitted into the subsurface by vibrators are contaminated by harmonics. Upon correlation of the recorded seismograms, these harmonics lead to noise trains which are particularly disturbing in the case of down-sweeps. The method described in this paper—which can be regarded as a generalization of Sorkin's approach to the suppression of even order harmonics—allows elimination, from the final vibratory source seismogram, of harmonics of the sweep up to any desired order. It requires that not one single signal but rather a series of M signals is employed where each signal has an initial phase differing from that of the previous one of the series by the phase angle 2πM. Prior to stacking, the seismograms generated with the different signals have to be brought into the form they would have if they had been generated with the same signal.The method seems also to be capable of reducing the correlation noise if sign-bit recording techniques are used.

    Notes: Six thousand three hundred IP measurements made in central and southern Germany have been statistically evaluated. Shapes of IP decay curves obtained in the course of routine prospecting for sulfides were characterized in the following way: three chargeabilities were recorded during the 2 s current-off time. By dividing the last by the first chargeability an “IP decay coefficient’ was calculated and statistically evaluated by means of histograms. When the histograms were compared with the statistics of apparent resistivity and chargeability, no relationship could be detected. Therefore, the histograms of M3/M1 values represent a characteristic property of distinct areas with certain geological features, mineral assemblage and tectonics. Weathering does not alter this geophysical “fingerprint”, which depends solely on geology.

    Notes: An iterative stacking algorithm (superstack) has been applied in velocity analysis as a velocity filter prior to the coherency measurements. The effect of this filtering is demonstrated on both synthetic and real data using the following three methods of velocity analysis: Constant velocity stack, constant velocity gather, and velocity spectrum. The experimental results indicate that the velocity analysis can be improved by this approach.

    Notes: A nomogram has been devised for situations, in which the source of a self-potential anomaly can be approximated by an obliquely polarized sphere or horizontal cylinder embedded in a homogeneous half space. The nomogram can be used for rapid determination of three parameters of the target: (1) depth to the centre, (2) angle between the axis of polarization and the horizontal, (3) shift of the point vertically above the centre of the body from zero potential value.The nomogram has been tested and the parameters determined for SP results obtained over ore bodies Weiss and Süleymanköy in the Ergani Copper district, Turkey. The curves computed for the estimated parameters match the field curves well.

    Notes: The amplitude and phase response of a simple model is compared with the performance of a real vibrator working in the field. The field results show a characteristic phase response which confirms that the real drive force applied to the baseplate and its load impedance is faithfully represented by the acceleration of the reaction mass. It follows that all the parameters necessary to calculate the load impedance and the true power dissipated in the earth can be measured at the output of the vibrator. It also follows that the current method of baseplate phase compensation should be reconsidered.

    Notes: The induction problem for an inhomogeneous two-dimensional conductor presenting a vertical contact between two media of diverse conductivities is considered. The general solution of the Helmholtz equation in the atmosphere is constructed for a simple induction mechanism. It is found that in the E-polarization case the anomalous field behavior in the boundary region and beyond differs from the generally assumed one. The conclusion of this paper is that the boundary conditions widely utilized in numerical computations have to be modified.

    Notes: The “Laterolog 7′’and the “Microlaterolog’ have been studied theoretically for the case of a conducting halfspace containing a single overburden, using a technique based on the method of images. The results have shown these focussed arrays to be more sensitive to the lower medium (i.e., having greater depth of investigation) than unfocussed ones of the same dimensions, when the “correct’ geometric factor is used. The geometric factor of a focussed electrode array is somewhat involved, and is explained with reference to an ideal focussed array; such an array would pass a measuring current of constant intensity into a fixed geometrical shape of conducting material, irrespective of any layering or any other heterogenities that may be present, using auxiliary current sources of variable magnitude. This concept of a constant amount of current flowing in a beam of fixed geometry and current density, is the basis of focussed arrays, and it is shown that the geometric factor, used to calculate the apparent resistivity, is the one derived when considering the homogeneous case. The value of the constant measuring current, alone, is used to convert the measured potential difference into a resistance, the ratio between this value and the combined intensities of the auxiliary current sources, for the homogeneous case, being incorporated into the geometric factor.Surprisingly good agreement was found between the theoretical models and practical experiments using a focussing seabed resistivity probe which is a substantial modification of the “Microlaterolog”. Both show similar deviations from the ideal case which are explained in terms of refraction at the overburden interface. All experiments indicated that focussed arrays have a greater depth of investigation than similar unfocussed ones for a single overburden, whether it be resistive or conductive.

    Notes: A forward solution for the reflection response of a parallel stratified lossless medium characterized by discrete reflection coefficients and unequal layer delays, for a normally incident pressure source signal, is presented. The notation, which details the reflection history of each wavelet in a response record, facilitates systematic enumeration of all terms in the reflection impulse response model, the determination of compact closed form expressions for amplitudes and delays of multiply reflected wavelets, and the aggregation of dynamic analog groups. An equal delay time constraint on layer thicknesses leads then to the reflection sequence or synthetic seismogram structure as an infinite sum of wavelets by their order of reflection.

    Notes: It is advantageous to postulate the phenomenological equivalence of chargeability with a slight increase in resistivities rather than a similar reduction in the conductivities. Substitution of these increments in the expression for the total differential of apparent resistivity leads directly to Seigel's formula. Included also are (i) an equally simple demonstration that, for a homogeneously chargeable ground with arbitrary resistivity distribution, the apparent chargeability ma, equals the true homogeneous value m, and (ii) a direct derivation of the completely general resistivity relation〈displayedItem type="mathematics" xml:id="mu1" numbered="no"〉〈mediaResource alt="image" href="urn:x-wiley:00168025:GPR432:GPR_432_mu1"/〉where the symbols have the usual meanings.

    Notes: One of the most troublesome problems in resistivity sounding is caused by the spurious effects of near-surface lateral resistivity variations. It has been found that the effects can be strongly reduced by measuring earth resistances at two electrode array positions such that in one position the lateral effect is a positive contribution to the total measured signal and in the other the contribution is negative. The subsequent combination of the two measurements virtually eliminates the lateral effect.The same technique can also result in a significant reduction in the total number of necessary electrode positions. Consequently the method can be used with a multicore cable system. In this way, in addition to improving the accuracy of the measured results, time and manpower are considerably reduced.Details of the method, examples and comparisons with traditional sounding techniques are given.

    Notes: A DNA hybridization assay was used to detect isolates of Escherichia coli that have the genetic potential to produce toxin. This method was compared with the traditional Y-1 mouse adrenal cell method for detecting pathogenic E. coli isolated from humans. Results showed that the DNA hybridization method has the potential to detect foodborne bacterial pathogens. The advantages and disadvantages of this genetic method are compared with those of the traditional assays for pathogenicity.

    Notes: Salmonella typhimurium H391 neurotoxin was sensitive to gamma radiation under in vivo conditions but resistant under in vitro conditions. Cells were detoxified after exposure to a radiation dose of 500 krad while isolated neurotoxin retained toxicity up to a dose of 3,000 krad. Detoxification of S. typhimurium H391 cells after exposure to 500 krad was accompanied by loss of antigenic properties which may be attributed to changes in the physico-chemical behavior of the neurotoxin moiety after in vivo radiation.

    Notes: The presence of monolauryl-glyceride (monolaurin) in the heating menstruum (phosphate buffer, reconstituted non-fat dry milk or cream style corn) of Bacillus stearothermophilus 1518 spores increased the rates of spore inactivation at 113–121°C by 2–3 fold. The ZD-values for the spores heated with and without monolaurin were 8.7 and 6.9°C, respectively. Rates of inactivation of B. subtilis A spores also were enhanced, but spores of Clostridium perfringens NCTC 879B, C. sporogenes PA 3679, C. botulinum 62A, or C. botulinum 213B were unaffected.Increasing the concentration of monolaurin from 0.4 mM to 3.6 mM increased the rate of inactivation, but concentrations higher than 3.6 mM did not appear to influence the effectiveness of monolaurin. All monoglyerides containing C8-C16 saturated fatty acids appeared to increase the inactivation of B. stearothermophilus spores, but the enhancement of spore inactivation declined as the fatty acid chain length increased beyond 10 carbon atoms. The influence of monolaurin on B. stearothermophilus spores did not appear to be pH dependent over the range of pH 6 to 8.The spore-monolaurin interaction was not due to heat-injury of the spores, although the interaction was dependent on the heat treatment. The increased inactivation appeared to be due to a heat enhanced chemical inactivation of the spores.

    Notes: Antimicrobial activity of fatty acids and their glycerol and sugar esters against a film-forming yeast isolated from raw soy sauce was determined in diluted soy sauce. In a series of fatty acids (alkyl chain length of 7, 9, 11 and 13) and their monglycerides, capric acid and monolaurin had the highest inhibitory activity. Two selected sugar esters (sucrose monocaprate and sucrose monolaurate) could not completely inhibit the growth of test organism throughout 3 weeks.

    Notes: A study was conducted to determine the effects of sorbic acid and several derivatives of fatty acids (amides, aminimides, and monoglycerides) upon toxigenic cultures of Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. A synthetic medium was inoculated with spores, incubated for 48 h at 27°C, and then supplemented with sorbic acid and fatty acid derivatives. Cultures were then incubated for an additional 5 days. Aflatoxins were extracted, separated, and quantitated. Mycelial mats were dried, weighed, and analyzed for lipid and mineral content. Cerulenin (8 μg/ml) was the most effective fatty acid derivative examined, reducing mycelial growth by 37% and completely inhibiting extracellular accumulation of aflatoxins. Other derivatives, in decreasing order of effectiveness, included M-20 (an aminimide), lauribic, and lauricidin. Mycelia grown in the presence of fatty acid derivatives contained less phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl serine, cholesterol, and triglycerides, but more cardiolipin, phosphatidyl choline, free fatty acids, fatty acid esters, and diglycerides. Levels of monoglycerides and cholesterol esters remained essentially unchanged. Inhibition by sorbic acid was nonspecific, affecting both mycelial growth and extracellular aflatoxin accumulation to approximately the same extent. Utilization of fatty acid derivatives for determining mechanisms of aflatoxin accumulation and lipid biosynthesis appears promising.

    Notes: The nutritional requirements for the synthesis of a cholera toxin-like toxin from Salmonella enteritidis serotype braenderup were examined. Toxin levels of both culture filtrates and sonicates were determined by the modified Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) floating cell assay. With few exceptions, most amino acids which contained charged polar R groups were stimulatory for Salmonella toxin synthesis. Glycerol enhanced toxin production to the largest extent; however, glucose was a poor carbon source suggesting that Salmonella toxin elaboration may be subject to catabolite repression. Biotin and Mn++ were shown to increase the synthesis as well as release of this toxin. An ideal defined medium, supplemented with all the nutritional factors shown to stimulate toxin synthesis, was formulated. The amount of Salmonella toxin produced in this supplemented medium was about 82% of the total toxin elaborated when cultured in Casamino acids plus yeast extract.

    Notes: Five plating media, Hektoen enteric (HE) and xylose lysine deoxycholate (XLD) agars with and without 80 and 5 μg/ml of novobiocin (N), respectively, and brilliant greeen sulfadiazine (BGS) agar with 80 μg/ml of the antimicrobial agent, were analyzed for the recovery of salmonellae from various fresh beef, pork, and poultry meat products. Of the total Samonella positive samples, 50.0% and 82.5% were found on XLD and XLD-N agars, respectively, 75.0% and 85.0% on HE and HE-N agars, respectively and 65.0% on BGS agar. HE-N and BGS media isolated three times more false positives than did XLD-N agar, while XLD and HE agars gave the highest numbers of false positives. The major H2S producing false positive on XLD and HE agars was Proteus mirabilis. With the addition of N, P. mirabilis was eliminated, and the major H2S producing false positive was almost exclusively Citrobacter freundii. The false positives on BGS agar were predominately distributed among C. freundii, Enterobacter sp., and Klebsiella sp.

    Notes: Cynomologus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were tested for their sensitivity and specificity to staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA). Thirty-two of 38 monkeys vomited within 5 h in response to intragastric feeding of 4.8–18 μg of crude SEA. Twenty-four of these 32 responding monkeys were subjected to specificity study by feeding crude SEA which was neutralized with specific Antiserum A. Twenty-two (92%) of the 24 demonstrated specificity by not vomiting when fed neutralized crude SEA. The remaining two (8%) monkeys showed specificity only with purified SEA neutralized with the Antiserum. The emetic dose -50 for crude SEA was 6.5 μg per monkey. These suggest that cynomologus monkeys are suitable for SE bioassay and for identification of new enterotoxins.

    Notes: A kinetic study was performed on the combined effect of monolaurin and heat on the death of Escherichia coli. The following results were obtained: (1) Monolaurin was about eleven times more active than that of sodium laurate; (2) Temperature enhanced the effect of monolaurin. True enthalpyentropy compensation effect was shown in this death reaction. The value of 341.9°K was obtained from the formula of ΔH*= Tc·ΔS*+ b and 331.5°K from Arrhenius plots as a compensation temperature; (3) The apparent minimum enhancing concentration of monolaurin ranged from 0.0056 mM to 0.013 mM, varying with the heating temperature. It may be concluded from the results of this study that the enhancing effect of monolaurin on the thermal death of E. coli corresponds to that of the amphoteric surfactant type (S type) agent defined in our previous report.

    Notes: The antimicrobial effects of monolaurin and sorbic acid were compared in laboratory media, cottage cheese and a pork homogenate. Sorbic acid (250–1000 ppm) was more effective than monolaurin (250–1000 ppm) in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus S-6 and Salmonella enteritidis 13076 in pH 5.2 trypticase soy broth. Monolaurin was more effective than sorbic acid against the growth of S. typhimurium 13311 under similar conditions. No synergistic effects were observed when combinations of monolaurin and sorbic acid were tested. In the cottage cheese study, 800 ppm sorbic acid effectively inhibited the growth of coliforms and yeasts and molds, but only slightly inhibited the growth of psychrotrophs. Monolaurin at 800 ppm was ineffective in controlling the growth of any of the microorganisms tested. The use of 3000 ppm monolaurin in a pork homogenate had no effect on the outgrowth and gas formation by Clostridium sporogenes PA3679, whereas 3000 ppm sorbic acid delayed outgrowth and gas formation. Combinations of monolalurin and sorbic acid indicated that sorbic acid was the active anticlostridial agent.

    Notes: Twenty kinds of ciguatoxic fishes such as grouper, moray eel, barracuda, catfish and snapper, etc. were collected from fish markets in Bangkok, Chanthaburi and Chonburi. Liver and meat were extracted with ether and the presence of ciguatoxin was checked by the mouse test. Ciguatoxin was not detected in any of the samples. On the other hand, water-extracted fractions under acetic acidic conditions from meat, skin, intestine, liver and ovary of five kinds of puffer collected from Chanthaburi, Samut Sakorn and Trat caused mouse paralysis or death. The ovaries of the green rough-backed blowfish and the starry blowfish, which are very popular in Thailand, contained large amounts of tetrodotoxin. The starry blowfish contained 1482.0 mouse units of tetrodotoxin per gram of ovary.

    Notes: A review of plasmids in Clostridium perfringens is presented. The characterization of the caseinase mediating plasmid pHB101 based upon limited DNase treatment, restriction endonuclease treatment, and agarose gel electrophoresis is described. Antibiotic profiles for the wild type strain and the cured strain were determined. The plasmid pHB101 was non self-transferable. The curing procedure resulted in a stable morphological change from rod to coccoid or bacillary-coccoid shape. A screening of C. perfringens strains showed the general presence of a 9.4 Mdal plasmid which may have been overlooked in the past due to chromosomal DNA masking effects.

    Notes: Repeated (five) doses of pyridoxine chloride (vitamin B6, 10 mg) reduced botht he neurological symptoms caused by ethylidene gyromitrin, the main poisonous compound of the mushroom false morel (Gyromitra esculenta pers. Fr.), and the overall mortality due to ethylidene gyromitrin poisoning in mice treated orally with this poison (400 mg/kg). In contrast, little or no effect was found when the mice were treated with γ-aminobutyric acid (1 mg) or vitamin C (10 mg) after treatment with poison. The significance of these findings is discussed in perspective to possible treatments of human poisonings caused by false morel.

    Notes: Glyceryl monolaurate when used in the proportion of 5 g per kg of meat slurry (pH 6.0–6.2) inhibited toxin production by Clostridium botulinum type A (strain 73A), type B (strain OKRA) and type E (strain RIV 2). The concentration of glycerol monolaurate required for inhibition was not reduced by addition of lactic acid to the meat slurry until the pH was lowered to pH 5.2 or below. In meat slurry (pH 6.0–6.2), potassium sorbate inhibited production of type B toxin at 32 g/kg. The addition of butylated hydroxy-anisole to glyceryl monolaurate had no effect upon the concentration needed for inhibition of botulinum toxin production.

    Notes: A lipid-enveloped virus (Semliki Forest virus: SFV) and a nonenveloped virus (coxsackievirus B4) were treated with neutral lipids known to be present in human milk or able to be generated by lipase activity in human milk. Triglycerides and diglycerides were inactive compared to monoglycerides and free fatty acids which were active against SFV (90% inactivation) at concentrations as low as 0.7 μM. Of the compounds tested monolinolein was the most active against SFV. None of the lipids tested were active against coxsackievirus B4. A synthetic milk (Almiron-M2), high in unsaturated triglycerides, was inactive against either virus.

    Notes: An analysis of amplitudes of refraction records of some shallow refraction profiles shot primarily for detailing the near-surface structure in a granitic terrain has yielded information on refractor properties: reduced amplitudes are plotted on amplitude-distance graphs. The negative power n to which distance should be raised to represent (elastic) amplitude decay with respect to distance due to spreading of the critically refracted wave involved is examined. Computed values of this “spreading index”n are close to n = 2 as predicted by the theory.With this value of n, amplitude data are processed to determine residual attenuation attributable to elastic absorption in the bedrock. A graphical approach for this purpose from comparison of amplitude-distance graphs with the plots of amplitude decay due to spreading which is applicable to flat and horizontal refractor situations is suggested. Assuming residual attenuation to represent absorption in the granite bedrock, the computed coefficients of absorption, which vary from 0.5 to 3.90 km−1 for a frequency of 50 Hz, are obtained.From amplitude graphs of reversed profiles it is shown that the amplitude differences plot bears a relation to lateral velocity changes in the refractor. From comparison of practical amplitude decay graphs with those computed for different subsurface models, it appears possible to detect fractured rock occurrences in the refractor.

    Notes: The design of a standard hydrophone with a maximally flat (Butterworth) response in the frequency range 8.0 Hz-1.0 kHz is described. The standard hydrophone has been developed primarily for calibrating line hydrophone arrays (seismic streamers) and marine seismic sources.The standard hydrophone has been used successfully during the past eight years for monitoring the output of a single air gun. It can be used for the calibration of a marine seismic streamer.

    Notes: A method has been developed for computation of the electrical DC potential of an arbitrary three-dimensional resistivity structure using a finite difference method. The threedimensionality is necessary for interpretation of geoelectrical soundings with controlled point sources over a laterally inhomogeneous medium. Lateral inhomogeneities should be considered in resistivity soundings with large layouts. The results obtained with the described method permit a more realistic representation of geological features.The resolution of the method is determined by the number of elements in the resistivity network. The problem of core memory space has been resolved by using random access disc files. The results computed using a Fortran program are in good agreement with analytically obtained solutions.

    Notes: In discussion of the one-dimensional wave equation the Kunetz “energy relations’ are often invoked. Since the treatment often involves lengthy algebraic calculations which yield a simple result, it may be of interest to present an elementary derivation from first principles. A generalization to higher-dimensional wave equations follows readily.

    Notes: Motivated by several papers by Indian colleagues suggesting that a single-pole array is the most favorable one for locating electrically conductive targets in the underground, detailed measurements were carried out with different electrode arrays over a well-known graphite deposit near Pfaffenreuth, Germany. The following arrays were used: (1) Wenner array; (2) single-pole array; (3) half-Wenner array; (4) half-Schlumberger array. Each of the arrays established the location of the main graphite deposit. The half-Schlumberger array turned out to be the most reliable one since it showed details which were only very poorly indicated by the other arrays or not at all.Mathematical modeling of three-dimensional bodies simulating the geological situation for this deposit were carried out. These results show an unexpectedly good correlation with the measured effects.

    Notes: Waves propagating through a sequence of layers that are thin compared with the wavelength show effects of anisotropy: velocity and displacement direction depend on the angle between the plane of layering and the wave normal, and shear waves split up into two distinct types of different velocity. The layered medium can thus be replaced by a transversely isotrophic medium the parameters of which depend on the parameters of the individual constituent layers.A survey of the anisotropy effects possible in such a medium is generally done by varying the layer parameters in order to obtain different replacement media. This approach guarantees that the replacement medium is realistic, but it does not guarantee adequate sampling of the set of replacement media. To this end one has to begin by selecting the replacement media and then check whether the chosen media possess stable (and eventually realistic) representations by layer sequences. In general, there is an infinite number of layer representations for any transversely isotropic medium that can at all be represented. However, if one restricts the solutions to those requiring the minimal number of layers and the minimum number of different layer parameters, the set of solutions has only one free parameter (i.e., it is a one-dimensional manifold), and an important subset even has a unique solution. A simple algorithm exists for the determination of these “simplest representations”.Aside from sampling the set of representable transversely isotropic media for survey purposes, the method can be applied to the problem of determining the cause of observed anisotropy effects (or lateral changes in such effects). If this method can be applied to real data, it would for instance allow to determine changes in relative thickness or lithology on a scale smaller than the limit of resolution of the seismic method.

    Notes: A three-dimensional marine seismic survey was conducted in the Gulf of Thailand to aid in the development of a gas field indicated by three wildcat wells. The results and interpretation reported previously demonstrated improved fault resolution and better structural definition.Five successful appraisal wells have now been drilled, and these show that most of the sands have limited extent. Widespread character changes in the seismic data also support stratigraphic variations in many of the sands.Several new methods of 3D stratigraphic interpretation have been developed while investigating the depositional history of this area. Anomalous seismic amplitudes, tied to sands penetrated by wells and mapped from SeiscropTM horizontal sections in time and depth, have indicated the distribution of bars and channels. Horizon Seiscrop sections, each sliced through a single bed, have been used to delineate these depositional features directly. G-LOGTM sections, displaying seismic logs derived by rigorous wave equation inversion, confirm the existence of these features. Sands greater than 10 m thick have proved mappable.

    Notes: The electromagnetic response of anticline fold models in a uniform field has been studied using scale-modeling. With the increasing conductance the in-phase anomaly increases initially but then starts to decrease and finally attains a negative saturations, whilst the quadrature anomaly reaches a positive saturation. E.M. response of folds is similar to that of an interaction between two weakly coupled circuits in a dipolar field. The base of the fold is one of the characteristic parameters to determine the measured response.

    Notes: Two dimensional inverse modeling, a process to be applied after standard processing and interpretation, uses interfaces picked by the user. These interfaces are transformed into an approximate subsurface model.The subsurface model is represented by curved interfaces and interval velocities. The interfaces have to be unique functions of the line coordinate. Otherwise they may be arbitrarily curved and may begin or terminate anywhere along the section, e.g., at faults, pinchouts, salt domes and the like. Interval velocities may vary laterally along the section. The inverse modeling algorithm then modifies the model until traveltimes calculated from this model match the traveltimes observed as closely as possible in a least squares sense.The traveltimes corresponding to the model are obtained through ray tracing taking exact account of refraction. The traveltimes observed are the arrival times of single impulses before stacking contributing to the interfaces. These traveltimes are provided by ANAKON, a continuous interface analysis system.The comparison of INMOD results with those of well measurements and those of classical interval velocity computation from seismic data shows the accuracy of the method. Deviations of INMOD derived interface depths are within 2% of well data.

    Notes: For years, reflection coefficients have been the main aim of traditional deconvolution methods for their significant informational content.A method to estimate seismic reflection coefficients has been derived by searching for their amplitude and their time positions without any other limitating assumption. The input data have to satisfy certain quality constraints like amplitude and almost zero phase noise—ghosts, reverberations, long period multiples, and diffracted waves should be rejected by traditional processing. The proposed algorithm minimizes a functional of the difference between the spectra of trace and reflectivity in the frequency domain. The estimation of reflection coefficients together with the consistent “wavelet’ is reached iteratively with a multidimensional Newton-Raphson technique. The residual error trace shows the behavior of the process. Several advantages are then obtainable from these reflection coefficients, like conversion to interval velocities with an optimum calibration either to the well logs or to the velocity analysis curves. The procedure can be applied for detailed stratigraphic interpretations or to improve the resolution of a conventional velocity analysis.

    Notes: The chemical components of Atlantic Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) were investigated. An average of 53.5% of the fish consisted of edible portions, with more than 16% protein. PER values for raw and cooked muscles were 3.7 and 3.1, respectively, with casein being 2.5. The amino acid profile indicated equal or above average values for the essential amino acids when compared to casein. Lipid levels varied seasonally with the moisture content in various edible portions. A 1:3 ratio of saturated to polyunsaturated fatty acids was observed in this species. Sodium levels were 0.07% on a wet basis which suggests inclusion of this species in low sodium diets.

    Notes: Grayfish (Squalus acanthias) fillets were preserved by an improved salting technique with pre-brining procedure along with ascorbic acid treatment in order to retard rancidity. The protein loss during salting was 2.4% and more than 2/3 fatty acid content of salted fillets decreased over 8 wk of storage at 20°C. The added ascorbic acid had an antioxidative effect for 2 wk of storage, after which the TBA values rose sharply. The organoleptic evaluation indicated no significant decrease in flavor until after 4 wk of storage. Statistical T-test showed no significant differences for appearance, odor, and texture among salted grayfish and salted cod fillets.

    Notes: Measurements of properties relating to the physical integrity of heat-processed fish gels varied among samples obtained over a 1-yr period or subjected to various processing temperatures. Such gel properties correlated well with the heat-stable protease (alkaline protease) activity measured in the raw samples. A significant inhibitor concentration-dependent relationship was noted between the addition of a potato derived protease inhibitor and gel strength. These observations support the causative role of an erzymic proteolytic agent in the weakening of gel integrity at processing temperatures near 60°C.

    Notes: The greater texture breakdown observed in gel-type products prepared from mechanically separated tissue as opposed to manually separated tissue can to some extent be attributed to the significantly higher protease activity measured in mechanically separated tissue. Failure to thoroughly wash eviscerated fish prior to mincing appears to result in the retention of tissue from internal organs as evidenced by a concommitant increase in protease activity in the minced tissue. Alkaline protease activity in croaker kidney and liver is several thousand fold higher than in skeletal muscle. Addition of kidney and liver tissue to deboned tissue from thoroughly washed fish results in increased protease activity and degradation of the fish tissue upon comminuting and cooking at 60°C. Isoelectric focusing provided evidence that the increased alkaline protease activity observed in mechanically separated fish tissue resulted to some degree from retention of kidney tissue in the fish mince. Isolation of Ca++-dependent protease fractions from liver also implicated contamination from this source as an additional contribution to the total protease activity of minced fish.

    Notes: Ground beef patties containing 0, 10, 16, 21 or 26% hydrated soy protein were stored at 0°C for 0, 2, 4, 7 or 10 days before evaluating for the effects of soy level and storage time on quality changes. Reflectance values indicated that soy level had no significant effect on patty color when measured at either 525 or 685 nm. Storage time significantly (P 〈 0.01) affected reflectance values when measured at 685 nm, the control patties being brighter in color than patties evaluated at all other storage times. Both soy level and storage time significantly (P 〈 0.01) affected subjective color observations. As soy level and storage time increased, patty color became much darker and therefore less attractive. TBA values for all treatments containing soy were significantly (P 〈 0.01) lower than the value for the patties containing no soy. As the level of soy increased, the percent moisture within the fresh patties significantly (P 〈 0.01) increased. A significant (P 〈 0.01) cubic effect was found when relating storage time to percent moisture. Increasing the soy level in all cases resulted in a significant (P 〈 0.01) increase in cooking yields.

    Notes: Choice, Yield Grade 3 chucks were purchased vacuum packaged within 48 hr of slaughter. They were randomly allocated to treatments of vacuum or no vacuum mixing and 6 or 12 min mixing periods. The meat was formulated into sectioned and formed steaks. A trained sensory panel evaluated all samples and color scores were assigned to each steak. Instron adhesion measured binding of meat pieces, Kramer shear indicated tenderness, mg exudate/cm2 measured binding proteins. Reflectance spectrophotometry measured oxymyoglobin and metmyoglobin. Electrophoresis was used to separate and quantitate individual myofibrillar proteins. Sensory analyses indicated vacuum processed steaks had superior bind (P 〈 0.01) while juiciness, flavor and tenderness remained unchanged. Instron analyses indicated no difference in tenderness or bind strength due to vacuum. Subjective color analyses indicated less desirable color for vacuum mixing (P 〈 0.05) and the amount of oxymyoglobin and metmyoglobin were not changed due to treatment. There was less exudate at the bond site for vacuum mixing (P 〈 0.01). Sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins were similar over vacuum treatment.

    Notes: The functional properties of rabbit meat were compared with those of beef and chicken meats. Protein solubilities, water-holding capacities, emulsifying capacities, and binding strengths were approximately equal. Frankfurter emulsions made from rabbit and chicken were formed more easily than those from beef and were more stable. Frankfurters from beef were firmer and were coarser in texture. Sensory evaluations for flavor, texture, and overall acceptability demonstrated that frankfurters made from rabbit meat were equal to those from beef and slightly superior to those from chicken. Quality and sensory scores for rabbit frankfurters containing 15% protein, 20% fat and 1.7% salt were also very acceptable.

    Notes: Raw and cooked samples of nine different commercial classes of the Phaseolus vulgaris L. species were analyzed for their contents of five water-soluble vitamins and nine minerals. On a 100g dry weight basis, the mean vitamin and mineral values of the raw bean samples amounted to the following: thiamin 0.99 mg, riboflavin 0.20 mg, niacin 1.99 mg, vitamin B6 0.49 mg, folic acid 0.30 mg, phosphorus 0.46g, sodium 10.3 mg, potassium 1.54g, calcium 0.15g, magnesium 0.20g, zinc 3.2 mg, manganese 1.4 mg, copper 0.91 mg, and iron 5.84 mg. With a few exceptions variabilities of these nutrients between bean classes exceeded those within classes. Nutrient variabilities in cooked samples, again with a few exceptions, were higher than in the corresponding uncooked material. Retention values of water-soluble vitamins during cooking between bean classes averaged between 70 and 75%. Retention of minerals during cooking ranged from a low of 38.5% for sodium to total retention for calcium, with the majority of the minerals falling into the 80–90% level.

    Notes: Soaking and cooking treatments: were evaluated to establish the relationship of various regimes to the development of cooked bean texture and flavor of black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). A salt combination soaking solution was most effective in promoting bean softening during cooking, compared to no soaking or a distilled water soak. A high correlation was observed between objective and sensory texture scores. An Instron puncture force of.150g (0.14 cm probe, 5 cm/min) accurately defined the “eating-soft” limit of texture acceptability.

    Notes: The characteristics of spaghetti produced from two high temperature (HT) drying cycles, one featuring HT at the initial stages of drying (HT-A) and one featuring HT during the latter stages of drying (HT-B) were compared to spaghetti produced by low temperature (LT) drying. Both HT cycles had the advantage of greatly reduced drying time. In addition HT-A spaghetti exhibited much enhanced color intensity compared to LT spaghetti. Although HT-A spaghetti cooking properties were marginally inferior to LT spaghetti, cooking quality was still satisfactory. Spaghetti from HT-B was equal to or better than LT spaghetti in color quality while also exhibiting improved strand strength and superior cooking properties.

    Notes: Textural modification of fish protein gels by incorporation of plastic fat was investigated by examining the effect of the physical properties of fat on the structure and the material properties of protein gels. Material properties of fat-containing protein gels were influenced largely by fat distribution pattern which was, in turn, affected by fat hardness. Both compressive and shear forces reached their maximum when fat of 1.8 cm–1 hardness index (HI) was added at a level of 15% (fat/muscle). Addition of medium hard fat (0.54–0.78 cm–1 HI): (1) prevented a sponge-like texture development by improving freeze-thaw stability; (2) increased plastic deformation, thus making cooked gels less rubbery; (3) overcame the weakening of texture caused by cooking at the critical zone (60–70°C); and, (4) minimized the variations in textural strength resulting from cooking.

    Notes: Twenty-four hour postmortm intact bovine Longissimus dorsi muscle strips were (1) washed to remove sarcoplasmic fluid, or (2) left intact, and were either uninoculated or inoculated with Pseudomonas fragi ATCC 4973 to evaluate the effect of decreased concentration of sarcoplasm on bacterial growth and subsequent spoilage during storage at 4°C for 12 days. Washing removed the majority of the water-soluble components of the muscle. Significantly (P 〈 0.01) higher growth rates were observed on intact muscle than on washed muscle. Increased extractability of water-soluble and salt-soluble proteins was observed in intact inoculated (II) muscle as growth of P. fragi progressed. Alterations in SDS-gel electrophoretic patterns of water-soluble, salt-soluble, urea-soluble and urea-insoluble proteins were evident in the II muscle. Relatively little change in nonprotein nitrogen, water-soluble and salt-soluble protein content occurred in washed inoculated (WI) muscle with increased bacterial growth. Only minor changes in the SDS-gel electrophoretograms of the salt-soluble proteins from the WI tissue were apparent.

    Notes: Marrow from cervical, lumbar and femur bones of 5 steers and 5 cows fed only on native range (grass fed) and 5 steers and 5 cows fed a finishing ration (grain fed) was analyzed for cholesterol content. The cholesterol content of the marrow was significantly different when diet or anatomical locations were compared. Bovine marrow from grass-fed animals averaged 119.6 mg/100g and marrow from grain-fed animals averaged 150.6 mg/100g marrow. The cholesterol content of marrow from the cervical, lumbar, and femur was 190.1, 124.1, and 91.0 mg/100g marrow, respectively. Mechanically deboned meat (MDM) and beef lean had a mean cholesterol content of 153.3 and 50.9 mg/100g tissue. Spinal cord material in MDM can account for the increased concentration of cholesterol in some MDM samples over the values for lean and marrow.
