  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

  • The Tennessee Meteorite Impact Sites and Changing Perspectives on Impact Cratering
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND THE TENNESSEE METEORITE IMPACT SITES AND CHANGING PERSPECTIVES ON IMPACT CRATERING A dissertation submitted by Janaruth Harling Ford B.A. Cum Laude (Vanderbilt University), M. Astron. (University of Western Sydney) For the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT Terrestrial impact structures offer astronomers and geologists opportunities to study the impact cratering process. Tennessee has four structures of interest. Information gained over the last century and a half concerning these sites is scattered throughout astronomical, geological and other specialized scientific journals, books, and literature, some of which are elusive. Gathering and compiling this widely- spread information into one historical document benefits the scientific community in general. The Wells Creek Structure is a proven impact site, and has been referred to as the ‘syntype’ cryptoexplosion structure for the United State. It was the first impact structure in the United States in which shatter cones were identified and was probably the subject of the first detailed geological report on a cryptoexplosive structure in the United States. The Wells Creek Structure displays bilateral symmetry, and three smaller ‘craters’ lie to the north of the main Wells Creek structure along its axis of symmetry. The question remains as to whether or not these structures have a common origin with the Wells Creek structure. The Flynn Creek Structure, another proven impact site, was first mentioned as a site of disturbance in Safford’s 1869 report on the geology of Tennessee. It has been noted as the terrestrial feature that bears the closest resemblance to a typical lunar crater, even though it is the probable result of a shallow marine impact.

The first chapter reviews the educational aspects of children's playr-including physical, social, andcreative development7-as they pertain to various age groups. .The second chapter considers,the types of facilities that can be used for play and,recreation. These include play areas in houses and flats, outdoor playgrounds, recreational areas and...buildings within and near towns and villages, and camps and family vacation facilities. In Chapter 3, examples of existing European facilities, similar to those suggested in Chapter -2 are described; excellent diagrams, maps fnd photographs accompany the text. Chapter 4..concludes the study with an outline of methods of selecting, training and managing recreation center staff, members, including directors, auxiliary leaders, and part-time or voluntary leaders and helpers. Examples of training programs from several countries are presented in detail.

C'était un point commun à toutes les mythologies des peuples anciens, aussi loin que l'on remonte dans le temps, même si le nombre et les causes de ces cataclysmes variaient d'une mythologie à l'autre. Des concepts comme le Chaos , le Déluge ou la chute du ciel faisaient partie de leur histoire et de leur imaginaire. Dans ce chapitre, il est question de certains aspects historiques et mythologiques du problème. Ce sera l'occasion de retrouver quelques grands noms de l'Antiquité qui s'intéressaient au passé et à l'avenir de la Terre, désirant percer les secrets de l'un et de l'autre, et de rappeler aussi quelques textes représentatifs explicites, textes qui ont eu la chance de parvenir jusqu'à nous, contrairement à d'autres qui sont malheureusement perdus.

There was force and fury, and in p. 282 minutes the first nuclei formed out of the plasma.

All of a sudden, once they formed, the uni- verse became transparent. It had been opaque; it p. 287 was literally optically opaque. The cooling contin- ued.

Mudeos are traditionally held at construction sites, in this case the future home of a 700-space underground parking structure going in beneath the athletic field north of the gymnasiums. The decades-old tradition is designed to maximize the muck per square inch of skin, with events including a tug o’ war, wheelbarrow races, a “tire spree,” keep-away, and wrasslin’ matches.

The degree to which microcracks alter physical properties of low porosity rocks depends on the state of stress in the rock (hydrostatic pressure, non-uniform stress, pore pressure), the magnitude of various crack parameters (directional distribution, volume, aspect ratio, connectib- ility, etc.), the per cent saturation, and the physical properties -of-pore fluids. Various techniques have been employed to study, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the effect of cracks on the elastic properties of low porosity rocks. Elastic wave velocities and static compressibility, measured as functions of direction, indicate the presence of anisotropy, determine symmetry patterns of non-uniform crack or mineral distributions, and separate mineral from crack anisotropy. Elastic properties measured under hydrostatic confining pressure illustrate crack closure effects. Crack counting from thin section, or photomicrographs of thin sections, give crack parameters and directional information about cracks. Staining cracks with dyes facilitates the observation of cracks in thin section.
