Department of Transportation has designated 51 scenic byways to give visitors and residents a chance to experience North Carolina’s history, geography and culture, while also raising awareness for the protection and preservation of these treasures. Byways are carefully selected to portray the diverse beauty and culture of the Tar Heel State and provide travelers with safe and interesting alternate travel routes. These byways are intended as an alternative to the faster-paced traffic and commercial areas found along our state’s major highways and interstates. Following the byways, motorists will see some of North Carolina’s most breathtaking scenery, from the Blue Ridge Mountains in the west to the fertile plains of the Piedmont to the crystal blue shore of our coast. The routes are clearly marked with N.C. Scenic Byways signs (shown below). Please follow the maps and route descriptions carefully and understand that the maps on each byway page are not to scale and are given as a general guide only. For this reason, a N.C. State Transportation Map is recommended for use in conjunction with the maps in this book. Portions of some routes are not suitable for various types of vehicles. Special symbols have been inserted in the text to draw attention to these restrictions. Alternate routes are noted when available. A few routes may be briefly interrupted by commercial or municipal areas. In such cases the scenic byway may temporarily end, but directions are given to help drivers resume the route. Approximate travel time and mileage are also included for each byway to help motorists plan their travels accordingly. These times are intended as a general guide. Please allow extra time to visit some of the specific sites referenced in the byway descriptions. N.C. Scenic Byways vary in length from three to 173 miles, and in character from curvy mountain roads to ferry rides across coastal sounds. Motorists will see little or no development along the routes, enhancing the natural character and quality of the byways. If following the byways in reverse order from the descriptions given, please keep in mind that the directions will reverse. Enjoy exploring North Carolina’s less traveled roads.

Duke, Director of the Solar System Exploration Division of the NASA Johnson Space Center. At a meeting of the Lunar and Planetary Sample Team (LAPST), Dr. Duke (at the time also Science Director of the Office of Exploration, NASA Headquarters) suggested that future lunar geoscience activities had not been planned systematically and that geoscience goals for the lunar base program were not articulated well. LAPST is a panel that advises NASA on lunar sample allocations and also serves as an advocate for lunar science within the planetary science community. LAPST took it upon itself to organize some formal geoscience planning for a lunar base by creating a document that outlines the types of missions and activities that are needed to understand the Moon and its geologic history.

  • Planetary Surfaces
    Chapter 4 PLANETARY SURFACES 4.1 The Absence of Bedrock A striking and obvious observation is that at full Moon, the lunar surface is bright from limb to limb, with only limited darkening toward the edges. Since this effect is not consistent with the intensity of light reflected from a smooth sphere, pre-Apollo observers concluded that the upper surface was porous on a centimeter scale and had the properties of dust. The thickness of the dust layer was a critical question for landing on the surface. The general view was that a layer a few meters thick of rubble and dust from the meteorite bombardment covered the surface. Alternative views called for kilometer thicknesses of fine dust, filling the maria. The unmanned missions, notably Surveyor, resolved questions about the nature and bearing strength of the surface. However, a somewhat surprising feature of the lunar surface was the completeness of the mantle or blanket of debris. Bedrock exposures are extremely rare, the occurrence in the wall of Hadley Rille (Fig. 6.6) being the only one which was observed closely during the Apollo missions. Fragments of rock excavated during meteorite impact are, of course, common, and provided both samples and evidence of co,mpetent rock layers at shallow levels in the mare basins. Freshly exposed surface material (e.g., bright rays from craters such as Tycho) darken with time due mainly to the production of glass during micro- meteorite impacts. Since some magnetic anomalies correlate with unusually bright regions, the solar wind bombardment (which is strongly deflected by the magnetic anomalies) may also be responsible for darkening the surface [I].

    ABSTRACT MORT, SANDRA AMISS. Mass Spectrometric Methods for the Determination of PCB Congeners for Environmental Risk Assessment. (Under the direction of Dr. W. Gregory Cope and Dr. Damian Shea). Our research provides important advances in the evaluation of alternative, cost effective analytical systems for polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) risk assessment of environmental matrices. This type of evaluation has previously been limited by a reluctance on the part of regulators, site owners and investigators, to specify U.S. EPA Method 1668, the 209-PCB congener analysis recommended for environmental media, including biota, water, sediments and soils. U.S. EPA Method 1668 specifies a high-resolution gas chromatography / high- resolution mass spectrometry detection system (HRGC/HRMS) that is of limited availability in both federal and state environmental regulatory agency laboratories, as well as in contract environmental laboratories. This leads to a high cost for 209-PCB congener analysis and a reluctance to require it for environmental risk assessment. While additional validation is needed, this research indicates that low resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LRMSMS) gas chromatography systems provide adequate PCB congener resolution and detection sensitivity to provide robust data for environmental risk assessment of weathered (i.e., degraded) PCB contamination. Our results provide additional support for the need for 209-PCB congener- specific analyses to thoroughly assess the environmental risks associated with abiotic weathered PCB sources, or to define food web component specific PCB burdens and predator, and ultimately, human risks. Based on observations of waterbody, species and trophic guild specific PCB congener profiles in fish collected from four waterbodies of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River system of North Carolina, alternative human health risk assessment methods suggest that some North Carolina sub-populations ingesting fish from the four Yadkin-Pee Dee waterbodies may not be adequately protected from the potential for increased cancer risks by the N.C.

The essence of chic and a beautiful woman, Audrey Hepburn, brought a certain “magic” quality to the screen. Synonymous with oversized sunglasses and the little black dress, many are unaware of the hardships she endured while growing up in Nazi-occupied Holland. Starring in classic movies such as Sabrina, My Fair Lady, and of course, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Audrey Hepburn brought effortless style and grace to the silver screen. Following the many Zoom training opportunities offered in the last two weeks of September, let’s put our training to the test! The Technology Team recommended we conduct the first zoom class without a live presenter so we can ensure that everything is working correctly to set us up for a successful semester. Below is the format of our first LIFE@ Elon class on Zoom – enjoy this documentary about the one and only Audrey Hepburn! Open Class On Tuesday mornings, you will receive an email with a link for the class. (If the presenter has a handout, we will attach it to the email.) Twenty minutes before the start of class, we will have the meeting open so you can click on the link to join. Kathryn Bennett, the Program Coordinator, will be there to greet members as they are logging on, and Katie Mars, the Technology Specialist, will be present, as well.
