    Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlannedStatement: This NTGS Daly Basin Gravity PP201680 Complete Spherical Cap Bouguer Anomaly 267GU 1VD is the first vertical derivative of the complete spherical cap Bouguer anomaly grid for the NTGS Daly Basin Gravity Survey 2016 (P201680). This gravity survey was acquired under the project No. 201680 for the geological survey of NT. The grid has a cell size of 0.00732 degrees (approximately 800m). A total of 2271 gravity stations at a spacing between 4000m and 1000m were acquired to produce this grid. Three processes are required to correct the gravity observations for the effects of the surrounding topography: (1) a Bouguer correction (Bullard A), which approximates the topography as an infinite horizontal slab; (2) a correction to that horizontal slab for the curvature of the Earth (Bullard B); and (3) a terrain correction (Bullard C), which accounts for the undulations of the surrounding topography. The complete spherical cap Bouguer gravity anomalies were calculated by applying terrain correction (Bullard C) to the spherical cap Bouguer anomaly point data of NTGS Daly Basin Gravity Survey 2016 (P201680). These terrain corrections were calculated using software from INTREPID Geophysics. The Intrepid algorithm utilises concentric rings subdivided into cells (Direen, 2001) to calculate the terrain correction. The terrain corrected data were then gridded using a gridding technique provided by the INTREPID Geophysics software package. A first vertical derivative was calculated by applying a fast Fourier transform (FFT) process to the Bouguer gravity grid of the NTGS Daly Basin Gravity Survey 2016 (P201680) survey to produce this grid. This grid was calculated using an algorithm from the INTREPID Geophysics software package. The processed data are checked by GA geophysicists using standard methods for assessing quality to ensure that the final data are fit-for-purpose. Details of the specifications of individual surveys held in the Australian National Gravity Database (ANGD) can be found in the Second Edition of the Index of Gravity Surveys (Wynne and Bacchin, 2009).

    Evidence of subsolidus quartz-coesite transformation in impact ejecta from the Australasian tektite strewn field

    Coesite, a high-pressure silica polymorph, is a diagnostic indicator of impact cratering in quartz-bearing target rocks. The formation mechanism of coesite during hypervelocity impacts has been debated since its discovery in impact rocks in the 1960s. Electron diffraction analysis coupled with scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy of shocked silica grains from the Australasian tektite/microtektite strewn field reveals fine-grained intergrowths of coesite plus quartz bearing planar deformation features (PDFs). Quartz and euhedral microcrystalline coesite are in direct contact, showing a recurrent pseudo iso-orientation, with the [11 ̄1]* vector of quartz near parallel to the [0 1 0]* vector of coesite. Moreover, discontinuous planar features in coesite domains are in textural continuity with PDFs in adjacent quartz relicts. These observations indicate that quartz transforms to coesite after PDF formation and through a solid-state martensitic-like process involving a relative structural shift of {1 ̄011} quartz planes, which would eventually turn into coesite (0 1 0) planes. This process further explains the structural relation observed between the characteristic (0 1 0) twinning and disorder of impact-formed coesite, and the 101 ̄1 PDF family in quartz. If this mechanism is the main way in which coesite forms in impacts, a re-evaluation of peak shock pressure estimates in quartz-bearing target rocks is required because coesite has been previously considered to form by rapid crystallization from silica melt or diaplectic glass during shock unloading at 30–60 GPa. © 2019 The Author(s

    The economic impact of the New England Pond Hockey Classic to the Town of Meredith, NH

    No full text
    For our Sport Management Practicum, we conducted an Economic Impact study of the Town of Meredith, NH in relation to an event that the town hosts every year: The New England Pond Hockey Classic. The CEO of the event, Scott Crowder, approached our group with the task of gathering information on how much the average participant spends on Travel, Lodging, Groceries, and Restaurants and Bars in the town of Meredith. We also looked into an increase, if any, in the sales of the local restaurants, bars, and motels in the area. After concluding our research, we will present our data to the CEO and the Meredith chamber of commerce. (Author abstract)Cowels, M., Conley, D., & Daly, J. (2014).

    Defining Sarcopenia

    No full text
    Currently there is no standardized definition of sarcopenia. This hampers the clinical management of sarcopenia and limits the development and regulatory approval of interventions to reduce the progression of this common and debilitating condition in the elderly. Nine definitions of sarcopenia have been put forward by different individuals and working groups, but these definitions have not been examined or compared with respect to their ability to predict the rate of falling. Reduced lower extremity lean tissue mass, strength and function characterize sarcopenia, and they are known risk factors for falling. The purpose of this chapter is to describe the nine operational definitions of sarcopenia proposed in recent years, to describe the prevalence of sarcopenia by each definition, and to describe the degree to which each definition predicted incident falls over a 3-year period in a cohort of 455 community-dwelling men and women age 65 years and older. We also comment on the need for further research and the importance of reaching consensus on a globally accepted definition of sarcopenia
