    The Copper, Lead, and Zinc Content of Metamorphic Rocks on Mt. Moosilauke, New Hampshire
    (1973-01) Dethier, David P.; Schlesinger, William H.
    Metamorphic rocks from Mt. Moosilauke in north-central New Hampshire were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence and atomic-absorption spectrophotometry for trace amounts of copper, lead, and zinc. Mean content was 89 ppm for copper, 44 ppm for lead, and 92 ppm for zinc. Values for the Devonian Littleton Formation, the dominant rock unit in the area, suggest that it is a metamorphosed shale slightly enriched in copper and lead.

    Effects of Activity, Alcohol, Smoking, and the Menstrual Cycle on Liquid Crystal Breast Thermography
    (1973-01) Ewing, Keith L.; Davison, Thomas W.; Fergason, James L.
    This study is part of a continuing program to evaluate the efficacy and reliability of liquid-crystal thermography in breast-cancer detection. The purpose was to evaluate any possible effect(s) of daily activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, amount of sleep, and the menstrual cycle on the liquid-crystal thermographic breast-pattern. Ten apparently healthy women served as subjects and were examined by liquid-crystal thermography every day for 28 (minimum) to 45 (maximum) consecutive days for thermogram changes. The results indicate that daily activity and the menstrual cycle should not affect the reliability of liquid-crystal thermogram interpretation in breast-cancer studies. Alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking prior to liquid-crystal thermographic examination could change the normal pattern to an extent that reliable interpretation might not be possible. There appears to be a thermographic-pattern change closely associated with the probable time of ovulation.

    Geographic Distribution and Dispersal of Some Recent Shallow-Water Marine Ostracoda
    (1973-01) Teeter, James W.
    Several species of Recent shallow-water tropical marine ostracodes have achieved interoceanic distribution. Passive dispersal of these marine ostracodes on feathers and muddy feet of migratory shore birds, a process often cited for the distribution of freshwater ostracodes, is unlikely because of the water depth in which these ostracodes live, their lack of a dessication-resistant egg, and the lack of correspondence between their distribution and migratory bird flyways. Other means of ostracode dispersal cited in the literature, including transport in the intestinal tracts of birds and fish, and transport by wind, are also considered unlikely.

    The Noble Limestone Member (Conemaugh Group, Pennsylvanian): New Occurences in Noble And Guernsey Counties, Ohio
    (1973-01) Murphy, James L., 1941-
    Originally described from limited exposures in central Noble County, Ohio, the Noble Limestone Member (Congemaugh Group, Pennsylvanian) has recently been discovered at three additional localities in northern Noble County and eastern Guernsey County. The Noble Limestone Member overlies the fresh-water Ewing Limestone Member and occurs beneath the Rock Riffle Run Limestone Member, at a position about thirty feet below the Ames Limestone Member. Both lithology and fossil content serve to distinguish the limestone and shale of the Noble Limestone Member from that of other Conemaugh marine members. The Noble Limestone Member is now known to occur in an outcrop belt at least 25 miles long and is deserving of recognition as a formal rock-stratigraphic unit.

    Effects of Temperature and Light on Aerial Breathing Behavior of the Spotter Gar, Lepisosteus Oculatus
    (1973-01) De Roth, Gerardus C.
    The affects of temperature and of light on air-breathing activities of five spotted gar (Lepisosteus oculatus) were studied in the laboratory during the summer of 1965. A total of 4320 fish-hours of surface breathing activities were recorded using ripple detectors and a six-channel physiograph.

    The Isotopic Composition of Strontium in Fossils from the Kendrick Shale, Kentucky
    (1973-01) Boger, P. D.; Glaze, Frances F.; Summerson, C. H.; Faure, Gunter
    Nine analyses of the isotopic composition of strontium in the carbonate shells of marine fossils from the Kendrick Shale (Lower Pennsylvanian) of Kentucky indicate an average 87Sr/86Sr ratio of 0.7086^O.OOOSS at the 95 percent confidence limit. This value is in satisfactory agreement with previous measurements by Peterman et al. (1970) and confirms that strontium in the oceans during Early Pennsylvanian time was anomalously enriched in radiogenic 87Sr, compared to that in earlier and later periods. The isotopic composition of strontium in skeletal clacium carbonate of cephalopods, gastropods, and brachiopods from the Kendrick Shale appears to be the same in spite of the different feeding habits of these animals.

    Normal Granulopoiesis and Its Alterations in Murine Myelogenous Leukemia
    (1973-01) Graham, James D.
    This paper presents a review of the current knowledge of the process of granulopoiesis, and the kinetics and control of the process. The author makes a case for the understanding of normal developmental mechanisms and their control as a basis to the study of malignancy.

    Cellular Kinetics in Acute Leukemia
    (1973-01) Mauer, Alvin M.; Lampkin, Beatrice C.
    In most patients with acute leukemia, the generation time of leukemic cells is about (10 hours, longer than for normal cells. Approximate times for the phases of the cell cycle are: DNA synthesis (S), 20 hours; mitosis (M), 2 hours; and the post-synthesis and postmitosis rest phases (G2 and Gi), 2 and 36 hours, respectively. A most important finding has been that a variable proportion of leukemic cells are out of cycle, that is, are in a resting or Go state. These resting cells are in equilibrium with the dividing cells, and some, as yet unknown, control mechanism for leukemic-cell growth controls the flow of cells from one compartment to the other. A critical feature of the resting cells is that they are relatively resistant to cycle-dependent chemotherapeutic agents. Much information has been obtained concerning the effects of drugs on the proliferative characteristics of leukemic cells. This information provides the basis for designing regimens with better timing of drug administration and advantageous use of combined chemotherapy.

    Immunologic Aspects of Leukemia Virus Research in Humans
    (1973-01) Yohn, David S.
    Recent theory concerning the mechanisms by which RNA-tumor viruses are transmitted in animals and their genetic information expressed during embryogenesis and adulthood is reviewed. An implication of such theory has been that adult animals are immunotolerant to the group-specific (gs) RNA-tumor-virus antigens, though there is evidence that refutes this implication.
