Complementary feeding indicators and determinants of poor feeding practices in Indonesia: a secondary analysis of 2007 Demographic and Health Survey data
Authors: Ng Charmaine S , Dibley Michael J , Agho Kingsley E 
Published: October 2011

AbstractObjectiveThe present study aimed to assess complementary feeding practices and identify the potential risk factors associated with inappropriate complementary feeding in Indonesia for a nationally representative sample of births from 2004 to 2007.DesignThe data source for the analysis was the 2007 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey. Multiple logistic regression was performed to analyse the factors associated with complementary feeding, using individual-, household- and community-level determinants.SettingIndonesia.SubjectsChildren (n 4604) aged 6–23 months.ResultsMultivariate analysis revealed that infants from poor households were significantly less likely to be introduced to complementary feeding (adjusted odds ratio, AOR = 4·32; 95 % CI 1·46, 12·80) and meet the minimum dietary diversity (AOR = 1·76; 95 % CI 1·16, 2·68). Mother's education (AOR for no education in dietary diversity = 1·92; 95 % CI 1·09, 3·38; AOR for no education in meal frequency = 2·03; 95 % CI 1·13, 3·64; AOR for no education in acceptable diet = 3·84; 95 % CI 2·07, 7·12), residence and decreased age of the infant were negatively associated with minimum dietary diversity, minimum meal frequency and an acceptable diet. Infants aged 6–11 months were also significantly less likely to meet minimum dietary diversity (AOR = 6·36; 95 % CI 4·73, 8·56), minimum meal frequency (AOR = 2·30; 95 % CI 1·79, 2·96) and minimum acceptable diet (AOR = 2·27; 95 % CI 1·67, 3·09). All geographical regions compared with Sumatra were more likely to give the recommended meal frequency and an acceptable diet to breast-fed children.ConclusionsPublic health interventions to improve complementary feeding should address individual-, household- and community-level factors which significantly influence the introduction of complementary feeding. Complementary feeding intervention programmes in Indonesia should ensure that restraints on families with low socio-economic status are addressed. Infants aged 6–11 months and mothers with low education levels may also need special focus. Promotion strategies should also target the health-care delivery system and the media.
Bill for hydrogeological mapping of U.S. High Plains Aquifer gains initial approval
Authors: Showstack Randy 
Published: October 2011

Bipartisan legislation to characterize, map, and model the 450,000‐sq‐km High Plains Aquifer passed the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on 12 March, but not without amendments that some scientists said weaken important aspects of the bill.The bill (S. 212), which now awaits full Senate approval, and the introduction of companion legislation in the House of Representatives, calls for a High Plains Aquifer comprehensive hydrogeologic program, which would be a cooperative partnership effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and state and local agencies. Among the goals are gaining a comprehensive understanding of the subsurface configuration and hydrogeology of the aquifer, including a better understanding of how the aquifer functions, recharges, and loses water.
Gravity investigations of selected batholiths and basins of southwestern Montana
Authors: Burfeind Walter J. 
Published: October 2011

During the period 1960–1964 a gravity survey covering 25,000 km2 in southwestern Montana was made to determine (1) the source, subsurface shapes and extents of the Boulder and Tobacco Root batholiths, and (2) the pre‐fill configurations and possible origin of several Cenozoic basins.Approximately 6250 gravity stations were occupied using two gravity meters: a C. H. Frost with a scale constant of 0.754 mgal per scale division and a Pioneer model Worden meter with scale constant of 0.0934 mgal per scale division. Most elevations were determined using Paulin altimeters controlled by bench mark and map elevations; some vertical control was established with a Dumpy level. The final Bouguer gravity values are referenced to Pendulum Station 110 [Duerksen, 1949] in Boulder, Montana, and the resultant contour map (Figure 1) has been tied to maps published by Davis et al. [1963; 1965a, b] and Kinoshita et al. [1964 a, b].
Gravity measurements in Wyoming and central Colorado
Authors: Smithson Scott B. 
Published: October 2011

Gravity surveys made by personnel from the University of Wyoming include the Laramie Mountains, the Medicine Bow Mountains, the Hanna Basin, and the South Pass area in Wyoming and the mountainous area west of Aspen in Colorado. These surveys are made with a Worden Master model gravimeter and are tied into gravity base stations established by the U.S. Air Force; almost all the stations are established on surveyed elevations. The purpose of these surveys is largely to study relationships in crystalline rocks.Detailed gravity surveys on spacing as close as ½ to 1 km have been conducted in the Precambrian core of the Laramie Mountains between 41°00′ to 42°00′N and 105°00′ to 105°4O′W. Rock types covered include Sherman granite, Laramie anorthosite, and related rocks and gneisses. Bouguer anomalies within Precambrian rocks range from −110 mgal over mafic gneisses in the north to −185 mgal over Sherman granite in the south [Hodge, 1966; Woodfill and Smithson, 1968]. Interpretation of these anomalies is being used to study petrogenesis of the anorthosite and structure of the geneisses. Gravity measurements extend out from the Laramie Mountains across a flanking fault into the Denver‐Julesberg Basin on the east and west into the Laramie Basin.

Global effects of environmental pollution
Authors: Singer S. Fred 
Published: October 2011

An increased scale of human activity has brought with it pollution, defined as ‘an undesirable change in the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of our air, land, and water that may or will harmfully affect human life or that of any other desirable species, or industrial processes, living conditions, or cultural assests; or that may or will waste or deteriorate our raw material resources.’* Under certain circumstances, natural processes are unable to keep pace with the increase of pollutants, and then serious problems arise—usually on a local scale. On occasion, however, pollution effects may persist long enough so that the atmosphere or the ocean circulation may spread them over the whole earth.It is therefore important to examine the situation at frequent intervals to determine whether a pollutant released in our environment could have far‐ranging geophysical effects or far‐ranging effects in the biosphere, and to probe particularly all interconnections in order to expose any weak link in the ecological chain. Such an examination should involve scientists from different specialties, including geophysics, geology, biochemistry, biology, medicine, and ecology. The subject matter has obvious interest to the general public, to policymakers in the government and in the Congress, and to all who are concerned about the effects of man's activities on the environment.
An endorsement
Authors: Carr Roderick A. 
Published: October 2011

I agree wholeheartedly with P. H. McTaggart‐Cowan's suggestion in the February ‘Forum’.The log jam produced by the present referee‐publishing system must be broken. The idea of Church and McTaggart‐Cowan to print only abstracts for general distribution is good. It will speed up information flow and reduce the amount of superfluous printed matter that the individual scientist must file and store.
Some long‐term trends in water quality of rivers and lakes
Authors: Ackermann William C. , Harmeson Robert H. , Sinclair Robert A. 
Published: October 2011

In these times when we are trying to determine our environmental position and the course we are taking, it is desirable to employ every means for assessment available.One such means is to consider measurements of environmental quality that have been maintained over a period of many years. The opportunities for doing this, however, are limited since we have only recently begun to realize fully the importance of monitoring our environment. Thus few environmental records are available for more than a decade.
The President's Page: Waldo E. Smith: A quarter century of service
Authors: Newell Homer E. 
Published: October 2011

Waldo E. Smith, the Union's first Executive Director, will retire after almost 26 years of service on August 31, 1970. During that period he has guided the AGU with caution, firmness, gentleness, and obvious pride. As President of the Union and speaking for all the other Presidents with whom Waldo has served, I want to take this opportunity to express our respect and admiration for his tremendous contribution to AGU and to the unity of geophysics nationally and internationally.Waldo joined AGU in 1936 and affiliated with the Section of Hydrology. He has been an active member, attending Annual Meetings and participating in the affairs of the Section of Hydrology. In 1944, with the title of Executive Secretary, he became AGU's first full‐time staff member, and as Executive Secretary and subsequently Executive Director, he has presided over a period during which the Union has grown in all directions by amounts that can only be measured in orders of magnitude. AGU owes its present sound financial status in large part to Waldo's careful management. Its journals and books are generally well received and reasonably priced, which attests to his capabilities as a purchaser of printing and handler of editors. For many years he edited the Transactions himself while operating the business affairs of the office with the occasional aid of his wife Martha; for especially large jobs like mailing, his two children, David and Carol, were pressed into service.
Barium Release Experiment
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the German Ministry for Education and Science (BMBW) are planning to release a cloud of barium and strontium in space during the second half of 1970. In this experiment an 18‐kg mixture of barium metal and copper oxide powder will be ignited and released at an altitude of approximately 5 earth radii in the general region of 10°N, 75°W. Launch windows for the release are: August 25 through September 8, 1970; September 23 through October 6, 1970; October 20 through November 3, 1970; and November 18 through December 1, 1970.The release must be made at a time when the ground observing stations are in darkness, but the cloud must also be illuminated by the sun at this time. The exact time of release varies between launch windows. It is also governed by the final trajectory of the Scout launch vehicle. Consequently, the exact time of release cannot be specified at this time. It will, in general, be around 0300 UT, that is, pre‐midnight local time.

An FM ionospheric sounder, designed to make both vertical‐ and oblique‐incidence soundings of highfrequency radio paths, has been developed by Barry Research Corporation of Palo Alto, California.Called the VOS‐1 Chirpsounder, this solid‐state ionosonde employs an FM (‘chirp’) pulse‐compression technique to measure path loss and time delay in the 0.5 to 30 MHz frequency range. Using an output power of only 8 watts and receiver bandwidth of only 350 Hz, the signal‐to‐noise ratio achieved by the VOS‐1 significantly exceeds that achieved by traditional 30 kW pulse, vacuum‐tube ionosondes—and with less interference to other equipment.

The President's Page: The translation program (guest editorial)
Authors: Landsberg Helmut E. 
Published: October 2011

One of AGU's major missions has always been exchange of information among scientists in the geophysical disciplines. Through its journals and meetings the Union has tried to lower the boundaries between differing disciplines, while on the international scene it has helped, through vigorous participation in the affairs of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, to foster scientific exchange across national frontiers. This has been a useful but clearly insufficient effort. Only a limited number of people can attend international meetings, and the foreign literature, in particular, that becomes available often remains a locked treasure because of the language barrier. This has been especially true for material written in Russian.This communications gap was bridged, starting in 1957, by AGU's Russian translation program, which covered a number of journals either exhaustively or selectively. The National Science Foundation has supported the program since its inception; but in the clamor for funds and rearranged priorities the Foundation took the attitude that the translations should become self‐supporting.

Royal Society meeting on the measurement and interpretation of changes of strain in the Earth
Authors: Nason Robert D. 
Published: October 2011

The measurement and interpretation of strain and tilt in the earth is a topic of increasing geophysical interest, both for the study of earth tides and as a means to study earthquakes and other tectonic processes. In the past few years there has been a great growth in the numbers and types of strain and tilt instruments installed in many parts of the world. The instruments and the resulting measurements were the focus of an excellent discussion meeting organized by A.H. Cook, R.V. Jones, R.G. Bilham, and G.C.P. King and sponsored by the Royal Society in London on May 10, 11, and 12, 1972.The meeting opened with a discussion by A. Cook of periodic and nonperiodic earth strain changes. He pointed out that the existing strain and tilt instruments span a wide frequency range, from seismic waves through free oscillations and earth tides to nonperiodic (zero frequency) deformation. The nonperiodic changes include the steps observed during earthquakes and the long‐term tectonic strains of sea‐floor spreading.
