Satellite relay telemetry of seismic data in earthquake prediction and control Satellite relay telemetry of seismic data in earthquake prediction and control

The Satellite Telemetry Earthquake Monitoring Program was started in FY 1968 to evaluate the applicability of satellite relay telemetry in the collection of seismic data from a large number of dense seismograph clusters laid out along the major fault systems of western North America. Prototype clusters utilizing phone-line telemetry were then being installed by the National Center for...

DDE and DDD residues correlated with mortality of experimental birds DDE and DDD residues correlated with mortality of experimental birds

Nearly everywhere in nature are found DDE and DDD, which are metabolites of DDT, and they often become concentrated through food chains. DDD is also a commercial insecticide. large amounts of both are frequently found in birds, but the significance of these amounts has puzzled many owrkers. Studies at Clear Lake, California1 gave some data on DDD danger levels, but less is known of DDE...
