A Comparison of Cover and Distribution of Corticolous Macro-Epiphytes in Three Woodlots in and North of Columbus, Ohio
(1977-05) Mickle, James E.
Three woodlots, one urban, one suburban, and one rural, were studied for cover and frequency of corticolous lichens and bryophytes. Epiphyte cover was measured by fitting aluminum foil over the epiphyte, cutting and weighing the foil. Lichens less than 1 cm in diameter were assumed circular and the diameter measured. Cover and presence were noted only within a cylindrical quadrat 1.3 to 1.6 m high. Trees were chosen by the random pairs method (10 pairs/site). The epiphytes found were the lichens Physcia millegrana, Physcia orbicularis, Parmelia rudecta, Parmelia caperata, and Lepraria sp. and the moss Leskea gracilescens. Only one species was found at the urban site, P. oribuclaris. P. orbicularis, P. millegrana, and L. gracilescens were found at the suburban site. All 6 species were found at the rural site. Percent cover and percent frequency increased from the urban, to suburban, to rural sites for all species except P. millegrana, which was greatest at the suburban site. The probable cause of these differences in cover and frequency of macro-epiphytes is the greater concentration of atmospheric pollution, probably sulfur dioxide, in and near the city.

Composition of Peruvian Native Gold
(1977-05) Caley, Earle R.
Gravimetric analyses of Peruvian placer gold, obtained in the form of irregular grains, showed a gold content exceeding 90% with silver as the other major component. Iron was found as a frequent minor component and may be in the form of either disseminated hematite or magnetite. These specimans did not have weighable amounts of copper. It is suggested that iron occurs in Peruvian placer gold in higher proportion than in native gold from other regions of South America.
Hepatic and Cardiac Weight Adjustments of Young Female Chicks Subject to Estrone and Hypergravity
(1977-05) Negulesco, John A.; Delphia, John M.; Clark, David L.
Rhode Island Red female chicks, 2 weeks post hatching, were maintained for 2 weeks at either earth gravity or 2 g hypergravity. Control animals were injected with 0.2 ml saline and estrone treated groups with 0.2 mg or 0.4 mg of estrone daily. Animals were sacrificed following the last injection on day 15 and their livers and hearts were removed immediately, dissected free of connective tissue, weighed and frozen. Exposure to the effects of the 2 g hypergravity for 2 weeks resulted in decreased total body weight regardless of whether the animal was supplemented with or lacked hormonal treatment. Estrone at 0.2 or 0.4 mg had little effect on the noncentrifuged bird's weight. Liver weight was increased with estrone treatment in the normogravity animals but not in animals exposed to 2 g, except when treated with 0.4 mg estrone. Heart weight was unaffected by the experimental procedures used.

Early Diagenetic Calcareous Coal Balls and Roof Shale Concretions from the Pennsylvanian (Allegheny Series)
(1977-05) McCullough, Lon A.
The calcareous concretions studied formed in different depositional environments associated with the Pennsylvanian eyclothems of cast central Ohio. The late syngenetic to early diagenetie coal balls from Lower Frecport Coal in Jefferson County were formed by cellular permineralization of decaying terrestrial plants in a peat swamp. These coal balls, composed of N9.N% calcite, 7.0% pyrite, and 2.(3% organic material, preserve six identifiable plant genera, Sphenophyllum, Stigmaria, Medulosae, Taxospermum, Psaronius, and Myeloxylon, as well as fusain and spores. The early diagnetic nodules from roof shale overlying Middle Kittanning Coal in Tuscarawas County, Ohio were formed by authigenic cementation of marine muds that contained brachiopods, including Mesolobus, Lingula, and several productid species, bryozoan fronds, ostracodes, gastropods, crinoids, cephalopods, as well as coprolites, terrestrially-derived fusain, root casts, and megaspore coats. These nodules, composed of 84.5% calcite, 11.3% illite, 1.5% quartz, 0.9% pyrite, and 0.5% organic material, have calcite-filled septarian fissures.
Preliminary Analysis of Functional Variability in the Mousterian of Levallois Facies: A Reexamination
(1977-05) Prior, Fred W.
An integral part of the New Archeology is a method of dealing with lithic variabilities based on a behavioral model and the use of mathematical techniques for the analysis of variance. To test some of the underlying assumptions of this paradigm a factor analysis was performed on published data for several Russian Mousterian sites. Seven factors were produced, and their content was interpreted as indicating two different types of activity: base camp killing and butchering and work camp transient food preparation.
Coal Mining and Landscape Change: The Case of Harrison County, Ohio
(1977-05) Foggin, G. Thomas, III
The evolving landscape of Harrison County, Ohio illustrates the interaction between increasing coal demand and modern mining technology upon the available resource base, as modified by changing reclamation policies and practices. A subsistance production period (before 1915) and an early commercial period (1916-1940) were followed by the high, but fluctuating, coal demands of the current commercial period (1941 to present). Post-war technology has enabled less accessible and/or commercial reserves to be mined over larger areas. Mined landscapes created prior to the Reclamation Act of 1949 are generally composed of low conical hills or parallel ridges, revegetated by natural invasion or voluntary aforestation programs. Postlaw landscapes are largely graded, often benched or gently contoured, and more recently have been replanted in forage species. The concentration of extensive mining in the southeastern portion of this once productive pastoral Appalachian county has been concomitant with a 50% reduction of land in agriculture, a 70% reduction in number of farms and a shift to larger farms north and west of the mined area.
The Effect of Urban Development on Peak Water Flow, Bowling Green, Ohio: 1950-1969
(1977-05) Limbird, Arthur; Moody, R. Howard
An attempt is made to analyze land use changes and resultant increases in peak water flow in an urbanizing area. The study compares land use, infiltration, and peak water flow for a 16 mile2 area centered on Bowling Green, Ohio, for 1950, before accelerated urban development, with the same area for 1969, after development. Peak water flow increases attributed to urban development on former agricultural land, and the resultant problems of drainage and excess water, are of specific concern. In the study area, a combination of near-level topography, clay-rich soils, and paved commercial areas produce a peak water flow greater than the capacity of storm drainage ditches. Storm drainage facilities are not adequate to handle the increased peak water flow caused by urban development demonstrating the need for proper land use planning prior to urban development.
