In the future, it is expected to be possible to make more routine use of additional wave types, specifically shear or S waves (polarised to horizontal and vertical components) which have a transverse mode of propagation, and are sensitive to a different set of rock properties than P waves. The potential then exists for increasing the number of independent attributes measured in reflection surveys and increasing the resolution of the subsurface image.

Fig. 19.2 The stratigraphy of the sediment and underlying granitic basement along hne A-A in Fig. 19.1 is based on seismic refraction and reflection surveys by Wong and Chiistoffel (1981), McGinnis et al. (1983), and Davy and Alder (1989) in addition to the core logs of ClROS-1 and MSSTS-1. The uppermost...

In the Conclusion, Was Anything Done , I offer a concluding reflection surveying the central issues of this study, articulating my own current re-evaluation of the significance of Bond s work. 

Step 2. Reflection survey to map the thickness of the sediment (Figure 3.6).

Where a seismic reflection survey is rather easy to perform seismic source and receiver are both towed behind the survey vessel (Figure B.4) the realization of a seismic refraction survey is a challenging operation with a much more complex set-up with several hydrophones and a multitude of data to be interpreted (Figure B.6). 

As reported in the SRS SAR, the Dunbarton Triassic basin is located beneath SRS. The boundary between the-Triassic sediments and the Jurassic basement form faults. Additionally, faults have been identified within the Dunbarton Basin (see SRS SAR Figure 2.5-25). Data collected from several wells drilled into the Triassic sediments and from seismic reflection surveys indicate displacements across many of the faults occurred prior to the deposition of the Coastal Plain sediments.

The survey method relies heavily on interviews to gather data and typically involves little or no on-site verification or observation. Results can be obtained in a timely and cost-effective mannen however they may reflect the bias of the individual filling out a self-administered questionnaire. 

Number and type of record The number of data points or tables of data presented in the resource or the number of events the data set reflects where available, the form in which the data are presented, such as failure rates or availability data, confidence intervals or error factors the raw data source used, sueh as surveys, plant records, tests, or judgment. 

Estimates were made by Uhlig in the USA. Worner in Australia, and Vernon in the UK, in which the cost of protection and prevention were added to the cost of deterioration due to corrosion. These early estimates were made by individual scientists from cost information from new major industries scaled up to a national level, and were of the order of 1-1.5% of GNP. More detailed estimates were subsequently made by the Committee on Corrosion and Protection (the Hoar Committee) in the UK, and Payer etal. for the National Bureau of Standards in the USA. The later estimates were around 3.5-4% of GNP, the higher figure reflected factors not covered in the earlier surveys, which were, moreover, based on organisations which had probably already taken action to minimise their corrosion costs. Estimates have since been made for other European countries which tend to confirm the higher figure. 

Many catalysts have been screened for activity in catalytic chain transfer. A comprehensive survey is provided in Gridnev and Ittel s review."0 The best known, and to date the most effective, are the cobalt porphyrins (Section 6.2.5.2.1) and cobaloximes (Sections 6.2.5.2.2 and 6.2.5.2.3). There is considerable discrepancy in reported values of transfer constants. This in part reflects the sensitivity of the catalysts to air and reaction conditions (Section 6.2.5.3). 

The results of map generation cannot be expressed effectively with the format available here. However, the State of Oregon utilized the map and matrix techniques in their nonpoint source evaluation and as a basis for designing more intensive survey approaches to assessing the impact of human activity on river quality. In addition to reflecting deposition of sediments, the methods can be applied to transport of pesticides, nutrients and trace elements since many of these substances tend to adsorb to the organic and inorganic fractions of soil. 

Because all of the information summarized in Table I was obtained several years ago, the data do not necessarily reflect the current levels of NDMA in beer. For example, in our original survey, conducted two years ago, we found a mean value of 5 9 for 25 beer samples representing l8 different labels (Table l).
