On Potential Density In The Deep South Atlantic Ocean, Ronald J. Lynn

Journal of Marine Research

There is a great contrast between the relative distributions of potential density referred too decibars and of potential density referred to 4000 decibars in the deep water of the South Atlantic Ocean. Both parameters are useful in a descriptive analysis of deep water; the former is an identifier of water origin, the latter graphically displays stability in the deep ocean and can be used to infer deep-ocean geostrophic flow.

A Stable Spar-Buoy Platform For Mounting Instrumentation, David H. Shonting, Alfred H. Barrett

Journal of Marine Research

A simple, relatively portable, and inexpensive spar buoy has been constructed to provide a platform for supporting instrumentation above and below the ocean's free surface. The buoy is 18.9 m long and weighs 76 kg in air; the combined ballast and instrument payload weigh 65 kg. The buoy consists of buoyant sections that are easily dismantled and may be varied in number to alter the buoy's overall length, draft, and payload....

Measurement Of A Three-Dimensional Field Of Water Velocities At A Depth Of One Meter In An Estuary, R. C. Seitz

Journal of Marine Research

The 3-dimensional field of water motion in a natural estuary has been measured at a depth of 1 m below the surface. Resulting Fourier transforms of the 3-component records of water velocities at 1 m have been compared with Fourier transforms of the depth-attenuated surface-wave velocity record--obtained from a direct measurement of the surface-wave field.

A Comparison Of Direct And Electric-Current Measurements In The Florida Current, Frank Chew, William S. Richardson, George A. Berberian

Journal of Marine Research

Simultaneous measurements of surface velocity obtained in 1967 by means of geomagnetic electrokinetograph and free-instrument techniques aboard two ships in the Florida Current off Ft. Pierce, Florida have been compared . The results show a varying degree of agreement in magnitude across the stream and good agreement in direction. A surprising result is the high seabed conductance.

A Comparison Of Direct Measurements And G.E.K. Observations In The Florida Current Off Miami, T. B. Sanford, W. J. Schmitz Jr.

Journal of Marine Research

Electrical measurements represent an indirect measure of the velocity structure of an ocean current. An interpretation of such measurements requires consideration of many influences, including the distribution of the vertically averaged velocity, of the bottom topography, and of the electrical-conductivity structure of the ocean and the sea bed....

Cesium-137 In The North Atlantic Measured By Selective Absorption In Situ, Stuart L. Kupferman

Journal of Marine Research

By means of selective absorption in situ, Cesium-137 was measured in November and December 1968 in two depth profiles (near 39°N, 69°W) and in ten widely scattered surface samples in the North Atlantic Ocean. The surface concentrations of Cs-137 are compatible with the surface concentrations of Sr-90 obtained by other workers in the same latitudinal range....

Asymptotic Extreme-Value Distributions Of Wave Heights In The Open Ocean, H. C.S. Thom

Journal of Marine Research

Application of the Fréchet extreme-value distribution to extreme wave heights is discussed. Annual extreme significant wave-height data for 12 Ocean Station Vessels have been fitted by the distribution. These distributions have been adjusted to extreme wave-height distributions by applying a scale transformation to the significant wave-height distributions based on previous theoretical and empirical studies of wave-height observations.

Regional Distribution Of 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Dependent Dopamine-N-Methyl Transferase In Rat Brain And Its Presence In Human Brain, Douglas A. Berv

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Since the introduction of the hypothesis that abnormal transmethylation of biogenic amines may be associated with mental illness, transmethylation processes have been shown to be important in the production of biologically active amine derivatives. Laduron has shown that dopamine can be N-methylated with an enzyme from rat brain that requires 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5MTHF ) as a methyl donor. This study shows that the methylation reaction which produces epinine from dopamine is greatest with supernatant from homogenized caudate lobe as compared to the cerebellum, hippocampus, cortex, and raphe nucleus: the brains of male rats were dissected and homogenized, the supernatant was …

Numerically Predicted Changes In The Circulation Of The Gulf Of Mexico Accompanying A Simulated Hurricane Passage, David F. Paskausky

Journal of Marine Research

To obtain a quasi-steady-state basic circulation pattern for the Gulf of Mexico, a barotropic prognostic numerical model, with no changes in input conditions and with sufficient friction, has been used. It has been found that a simulated hurricane that would theoretically pass across the Gulf of Mexico from the Yucatan Strait to a point just east of the Mississippi Delta would generate a two-centered cyclonic flow region in the western Gulf waters, with a remnant of the steady-state anticyclonic flow in the northwestern corner....

Free Oscillations In A Beta-Plane Ocean, H. O. Mofjeld, Maurice Rattray Jr.

Journal of Marine Research

This paper is concerned with the free oscillations in a rectangular equatorial beta-plane model of large oceans with a free surface placed symmetrically on the equator. With the depth constant and the stratification horizontally uniform, the motion may be separated into vertical modes, each having free oscillations....

Distribution Of Suspended Oil Particles Following The Grounding Of The Tanker Arrow, W. D. Forrester

Journal of Marine Research

While taking oceanographic observations in Chedabucto Bay, Nova Scotia, following the grounding of the tanker ARROW on February 4, I 970, small (5 µ to 1 or 2 mm) oil particles were found in the water column. The particles were collected with plankton nets and water bottles. This paper discusses the origin of the particles, their distribution in size and in depth, and the transport of particles out of Chedabucto Bay into the open ocean....

Intracranial Movement In The Coelacanth Latimeria Chalumnae Smith (Osteichthyes, Crossopterygii), Keith Stewart Thomson

Postilla

The intracranial kinesis of the coelacanth fish Latimeria chalumnae Smith was studied from motion picture records of manipulation of the skull of a "fresh" dead specimen. Frame-by-frame analysis provided data on the relationships between change in angle of the gape and the angle at the intracranial joint. The length relationships of the subcephalic and geniocoracoid muscles during the mouth-opening sequence were noted. The data suggest that anterior movement of the shoulder girdle is an important feature of the intracranial mechanism and that such movement allows the geniocoracoid to contract essentially isometrically when the gape is opened. The possible function of …

A Review Of The New World Dilaridae, Phillip A. Adams

Postilla

Nallachiinae differs from Dilarinae in having non-homologous claspers and in structure of the vein, media anterior. Neonallachius Nakahara is referred to Dilarinae; Nulema Navás and Neodilar Carpenter are synonymized with Nallachius. No known exceptions remain to an exclusively Old World distribution for Dilarinae and a New World distribution for Nallachiinae. All New World species are listed; Nallachius americanus, N. pulchellus, N. prestoni and N. loxanus are illustrated, and the range of N. americanus is extended to Venezuela. New species are Nallachius phantomellus, N. limai, N. ovalis and N. dicolor, all from Brazil.

Morphological Variation In Gammarus Minus Say (Amphiopoda, Gammeridae), With Emphasis On Subterranean Forms, John R. Holsinger, David C. Culver

Postilla

Gammarus minus Say is a common amphipod species in springs and caves of limestone areas of the eastern and middle-eastern United States. Samples of populations from the central Appalachians were examined closely and morphological variation between spring and cave populations was analyzed. This species occurs in three morphological forms: a spring form, an intermediate cave form and an extreme cave form. The latter form was termed variety tenuipes by some earlier workers but has no nomenclatural validity. In contrast to the spring form, the cave forms show a reduction in eye structure, a change in pigmentation of the integument and …

Notogoneus Osculus Cope, An Eocene Fish From Wyoming (Gonorynchiformes, Gonorynichidae), Philip L. Perkins

Postilla

The gonorynchid fish Notogoneus osculus Cope is reexamined on the basis of newly prepared material. It is similar to the Recent genus Gonorynchus in possessing a cephalic rib, in the construction of the pelvic girdle, the suspensorium, coalesced frontals and the mandibular elements. Gonorynchid evolution from the Eocene on has been very conservative, and it is probable that the mechanics of the protrusible jaws in all genera of the family has remained unchanged from the Upper Cretaceous to the Recent.

Generic Status Of The Inoceramus? Tegulatus Species Group (Bivalvia) Of The Latest Cretaceous Of North America And Europe, Ian G. Speden

Postilla

Five named species of the latest Cretaceous Inoceramus? tegulatus species group are, on present information, considered valid: two from North America, fibrosus (Meek and Hayden) and argenteus Conrad; three from Europe, tegulatus Hagenow, caucasicus Dobrov and dobrovi Jeletzky. The morphology of the ligament area and the pattern of muscle scars differentiate the species from Inoceramus, and Tenuipteria Stephenson is the valid generic name for the broad taxon encompassing the five species. The five species can be divided into two lineages: a lineage of equivalved species (tegulatus, fibrosus, caucasicus) and a lineage of inequivalved species (argenteus, dobrovi). The equivalved species occur …

The Taxonomic Status Of Quill Worms, Genus Hyalinoecia (Polychaeta: Onuphidae), From The North American Atlantic Continental Slope, Charlotte P. Mangum, William R. Rhodes

Postilla

Morphological characters of quill worms from the North American continental slope have been compared with those of Hyalinoecia tubicola (O. F. Müller) from the English Channel. The results indicate consistent and exclusive differences in worms of the same size. We suggest that Hyalinoecia artifex Verrill be reinstated for North American quill worms, as originally intended.

Sharpness Of Teeth In Man And Other Primates, R. G. Every

Postilla

Analyses of wear characteristics on the teeth of a young adult male baboon, a male native human from New Guinea and a male Caucasian from New Zealand are made, and their inseparable relationship to behavior emphasized. These characteristics provide evidence of the evolution of precise anatomical and innate behavioral tooth-grinding mechanisms specific to the production of sharp teeth. Although the teeth on eruption have some degree of morphological sharpness, the tooth-grinding behavior perfects this sharpness and subsequently maintains it throughout the functional life of the teeth. The male baboon, used here as broadly representative of man's non-hominid relatives and ancestors, …

Teiid Lizards Of The Genus Proctoporus From Bolivia And Peru, Thomas Uzzell

Postilla

Four species [P. pachyurus Tschudi, P. bolivianus Werner, P. guentheri (Boettger), P. ventrimaculatus Boulenger] occur in Bolivia and Peru. The first three (the P. pachyurus group) have an undivided translucent disc in the lower eyelid, a median occipital, two or three supraoculars, and squarish pregulars not forming chevrons. This group resembles P. striatus (Peters) in the last character, but differs from it in the first three. P. pachyurus (17 examined) and P. bolivianus (158) occur at about 2500-3800 m above sea level on the eastern Andean slopes, the former in central Peru, the latter in southern Peru and northern Bolivia. …
