description: The Newton-Krylov method with the explicit Jacobian matrix is an efficient numerical method for solving the nuclear reactor nonlinear multiphysics coupling system. Compared with the Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov (JFNK) method, it has a better preconditioner matrix (the Jacobian matrix itself) and can achieve a more stable and faster convergence. How to compute the Jacobian matrix efficiently is a key issue for this method. The graph coloring algorithm is an essential technique and has been used to reduce the Jacobian computational burden by exploiting its sparsity. The fewer the coloring numbers in the Jacobian, the less the Jacobian computational cost will be. Besides, when computing the Jacobian in a distributed memory parallel environment, the parallel graph coloring algorithms are required because the Jacobian is distributed among processors. Currently, a popular parallel graph coloring algorithm has been used to color the Jacobian. However, this parallel graph coloring algorithm shows poor scalability in parallel. The coloring numbers will increase with the processors, resulting in poor Jacobian computational efficiency. In this paper, a more efficient parallel graph coloring method is proposed that aims to reduce the coloring numbers and improve Jacobian computation efficiency in parallel. The main feature of the new method is that the coloring numbers decrease with the increasing number of processors. A neutronics/thermal-hydraulic coupling problem arising from the simplified high-temperature gas coolant model is utilized to assess the performance of the newly proposed method. The results show that (1) the parallel coloring number is reduced significantly, (2) the Jacobian computed by the new method is completely correct and excellent parallel scalability is achieved, and (3) the parallel coloring Newton-Krylov method with explicit Jacobian is more efficient and more stable than the parallel JFNK due to a better preconditioner.
title: The Role of Serotonin Depletion on the Behavioral Effects of Ethyl Alcohol

description: In the first experiment of this study p-Chloroamphetamine (PCA), a serotonin depletor, was given to experimental rats at least two days prior to aversive Pavlovian conditioning. Rats were subjected to aversive conditioning while drugged with ethyl alcohol (ethanol) and were tested for memory of the aversive stimuli later in the non-drugged state. Utilizing the auditory conditioned stimulus, ethanol-treated rats - PCA treated and nontreated combined - exhibited significantly less conditioned suppression of drinking than did saline controls. A priori comparisons demonstrated that PCA treated rats• ethanol-produced dissociation was greater than nontreated controls. Experiment two compared PCA treated and nontreated rats' activity levels under four dosage levels of ethanol. Activity counts were recorded at six 15-min. time intervals under all four ethanol levels. While activity was found to change significantly over time (starting high and gradually declining), ethanol and PCA factors were found to be nonsignificant.

Serotonin depletion by pretreatment with PCA is interpreted as having a facilitating effect on ethanol-produced dissociation. Behavioral observation of intoxicated rats activity supported this same enhancement interpretation.

description: В связи с высокими темпами потребления сырья в нефтяном секторе топливно-энергетического комплекса России, а также сложной экономической ситуации на мировом рынке нефти создаются предпосылки для развития и трансформации российской газовой отрасли. Газовое топливо обладает рядом экологических преимуществ перед традиционным сырьём из нефти и нефтепродуктов. Кроме того, по данным Международного энергетического агентства мировой запас природного газа составляет 250 лет. Для решения проблемы эффективного и безопасного хранения и транспортировки газового топлива разрабатываются перспективные технологии с резервуарами, обладающими высокой ёмкостью аккумулирования. Немаловажным представляется выбор адсорбента, лежащего в основе систем аккумулирования природного газа. В статье представлен обзор по некоторым микропористым углям растительного происхождения, имеющие перспективность в накоплении природного газа.

description: National space agencies and private entities aim to establish outposts on the Moon and Mars before the second half of the century. This goal requires new technology paradigms that must be readied now for implementation in mission architecture. Here we present the case that synthetic biology is one such enabling technology that will work in synergy with a growing bioeconomy to solve a broad array of challenges facing humans on- and off-Earth, as they establish a foothold on the Moon in the post-Artemis years and continue to the exploration and eventual habitation of Mars. We propose a phased integration of synthetic biology into Space missions over time and identify critical dual-use breakthroughs that will expand the impact of synthetic biology on both Space missions and the Terrestrial bioeconomy. Finally, we highlight actions by national space agencies and the private sector that will be critical in the coming years to harness the potential of synthetic biology for establishing a sustainable human presence off-Earth.

Subjects: subject: geology

description: The "Cup and Saucer" feature, named due to its resemblance to those utensils (W. J. Brown, 1980, personal communication), is located in southern Mitchell County, Texas. It is situated on private property but can be easily observed about 400 ft (122 m) east of State Highway 163 between Sterling City and Colorado City, 3.4 mi (5.4 km) north of the intersection of that highway with FM2183. The feature lies on the eastern edge of the Hyman NE quadrangle (scale 1:24,000, 7.5-minute series, U.S. Geological Survey, topographic maps), 0.75 mi (1.2 km) south of Beals Mountain. The feature will be described according to the following conventions. The "saucer" portion, which dips concentrically toward the center, will be referred to as the "lower ring." The "cup" portion, located in the center of the saucer, will be called the "core." The outcrops south of the lower ring, also capped by rocks dipping toward the core, will be referred to as the "outer ring." This feature, long assumed to be a meteorite crater, exhibits characteristics that argue for another explanation. Firstly, the lower ring is capped with massive sandstone rocks that dip only gently (3°30' to 14°10') toward the core, which would not likely result from a violent meteorite impact. Secondly, abundant black stones scattered on the upper surface of the saucer are cemented with iron oxide but are neither fragments of a meteorite nor fused by the heat of an impact. Instead, they appear to be concretions formed in the vadose zone when the ring was still buried by younger sediments and the local water table was higher. Thirdly, if this feature were an ancient impact structure, the core would be composed of breccia created by the meteorite impact. However, the core is composed of friable fine-grained sandstone, volcanic ash, and fluvial gravels, none of which are brecciated.

description: The uranium potential of the 1° by 2° Emory Peak Quadrangle, Texas, was evaluated using criteria established for the National Uranium Resource Evaluation program. Only that portion in the United States was evaluated. Surface and subsurface studies (to a depth of 5,000 ft; 1500 m) were employed, along with chemical, petrologic, hydrogeochemical, and airborne radiometric data. The western half of the quadrangle is in the Basin and Range Province and is characterized by Tertiary silicic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks overlying Cretaceous carbonate rocks. Stocks and laccoliths of alkalic silicic to mafic rocks intrude both the Tertiary and Cretaceous rocks. The westernmost Great Plains Province (here composed of flat-lying Cretaceous carbonate rocks of the Stockton Plateau) forms the eastern half. Paleozoic leptogeosynclinal rocks of "Ouachita" facies in the Marathon Basin extend into the northern part of the quadrangle. Four environments favorable for uranium deposits have been identified: (1) basal conglomerates and (2) lacustrine-lignite deposits within the Pruett Formation, (3) fluorite deposits at the contacts between alkali rhyolite intrusions and Cretaceous carbonate rocks, and (4) alkaline rhyolitic to syenitic intrusions. Big Bend National Park is largely unevaluated because of access problems with the park service. A karst area near Dryden, which exhibits anomalous uranium, molybdenum, selenium, and arsenic concentrations in stream sediments and which exhibits radiometric anomalies, is also classed as unevaluated because little of it lies within the evaluated area. Another solution feature, the Stilwell Ranch prospect, is interesting academically but is unfavorable.

description: The distribution of high-resistivity shale in the Frio Formation between hydropressured and geopressured strata has been mapped along the Texas Gulf Coast. Two high-resistivity intervals more than 1,000 ft thick have been mapped, one in Brazoria and Galveston Counties and the other in Kenedy County. They coincide with Frio delta systems and may be related to extraordinary quantities of CO2 produced by deltaic sediments rich in woody and herbaceous matter. Beyond being calcareous, the nature of the high-resistivity interval is enigmatic, and its relationship to deep secondary porosity is problematic. Most of the contained carbonate is microscopically and isotopically skeletal in origin, revealing no evidence of diagenetic modification. Minor rhombs of iron-bearing carbonate tens of microns in size were identified. Detrital feldspar compositions are being established to test subsequent changes in feldspar composition resulting from progressive burial and albitization. Hydrolysis reactions for authigenic minerals and reactions between key pairs of minerals have been written. Thermodynamic functions for complex phyllosilicates at temperatures up to 200°C have been calculated. From thermodynamic calculations, it was predicted that ferroan calcite would be the favored authigenic carbonate in shales.

description: Waters produced from sandstone reservoirs of the deep Frio Formation exhibit spatial variations in chemical composition that roughly coincide with the major tectonic elements (Houston and Rio Grande Embayments, San Marcos Arch) and corresponding depositional systems (Houston and Norias deltas, Greta-Carancahua barrier/strandplain system) that were respectively active along the upper, lower, and middle Texas Coast during Frio deposition. Waters of the upper coast typically have relatively high salinities (maximum total dissolved solids >80,000 mg/L), high calcium (200 to 9,000 mg/L), high sodium (>15,000 µg/L), relatively high potassium (>150 mg/L), low to moderate Cl/Na ratios (1.4 to 1.9), and high Cl/Br ratios (>400). When compared with adjacent areas of Frio production, waters of the middle coast have lower salinities (maximum total dissolved solids <80,000 mg/L), low calcium (27 to 2,900 mg/L), low sodium (<15,000 mg/L), low potassium (<150 mg/L), low to moderate Cl/Na ratios (1.2 to 1.8), and low to intermediate Cl/Br ratios (55 to 400). Deep South Texas waters from the lower coast (Kenedy and Kleberg Counties) also have high salinities (maximum total dissolved solids >80,000 mg/L, extremely high calcium (1,800 to 34,000 mg/L), high sodium (>15,000 mg/L), high potassium (>150), extremely high Cl/Na ratios (>2), and low Cl/Br ratios (<250). Calcium concentrations actually exceed sodium concentrations in some South Texas waters.

description: In recent years, the Bureau of Economic Geology has conducted regional subsurface studies of the Wilcox Group and Frio Formation of Texas as part of the U. S. Department of Energy's assessment of deep geopressured geothermal resources along the Gulf Coast. These studies resulted in two reports (Bebout and others, 1978; 1979) that describe several areas in Texas where temperatures are greater than 300°F and where the geology and reservoir conditions are suitable for resource testing by a design well. Throughout the Texas Coastal Plain, the 300°F isotherm generally occurs at depths ranging from 12,000 to 16,000 ft. The overlying geopressured sediments represent a substantial portion of the sedimentary column that contains significant quantities of entrained methane, making them a significant portion of the resource base (Gregory and others, 1980). The lower temperatures and pressures of these shallow geopressured sediments result in lower methane solubility, but drilling costs would be substantially lower, and perhaps reservoir quality would be better in comparison to the deep geopressured intervals. Although the latter condition has not been substantiated, several areas that are geologically favorable for testing shallow geopressured aquifers with temperatures less than 300°F were identified in a recently completed study (Weise and others, 1980) funded by the Gas Research Institute. The Blessing Prospect (fig. 1), one of the shallow prospects in Matagorda County, Texas, is presented in this prospectus as a candidate for the DOE design well program. The prospectus focuses on the geological and engineering aspects of the test site. Although legal and environmental considerations are mentioned, they have not been studied in detail and additional work would necessarily follow if the prospect is approved for drilling and testing. Likewise, a drilling program and an economic analysis would be necessary before final approval of a design well.

description: Hsp90 is a conserved molecular chaperone that assists in the folding and function of diverse cellular regulators, with a profound impact on biology, disease, and evolution. As a central hub of protein interaction networks, Hsp90 engages with hundreds of protein–protein interactions within eukaryotic cells. These interactions include client proteins, which physically interact with Hsp90 and depend on the chaperone for stability or function, as well as co-chaperones and partner proteins that modulate chaperone function. Currently, there are no methods to accurately predict Hsp90 interactors and there has been considerable network rewiring over evolutionary time, necessitating experimental approaches to define the Hsp90 network in the species of interest. This is a pressing challenge for fungal pathogens, for which Hsp90 is a key regulator of stress tolerance, drug resistance, and virulence traits. To address this challenge, we applied a novel biochemical fractionation and quantitative proteomic approach to examine alterations to the proteome upon perturbation of Hsp90 in a leading human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans. In parallel, we performed affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry to define physical interacting partners for Hsp90 and the Hsp90 co-chaperones and identified 164 Hsp90-interacting proteins, including 111 that are specific to the pathogen. We performed the first analysis of the Hsp90 interactome upon antifungal drug stress and demonstrated that Hsp90 stabilizes processing body (P-body) and stress granule proteins that contribute to drug tolerance. We also describe novel roles for Hsp90 in regulating posttranslational modification of the Rvb1-Rvb2-Tah1-Pih1 (R2TP) complex and the formation of protein aggregates in response to thermal stress. This study provides a global view of the Hsp90 interactome in a fungal pathogen, demonstrates the dynamic role of Hsp90 in response to environmental perturbations, and highlights a novel connection between Hsp90 and the regulation of mRNA-associated protein granules.

description: Detailed structural mapping at several horizons in selected study areas within the Frio growth-fault trend demonstrates a pronounced variability in structural style. At Sarita in South Texas, shale mobilization produced one or more shale ridges, one of which localized a low-angle growth fault trapping a wedge of deltaic sediments. At Corpus Christi, shale mobilization produced a series of large growth faults, shale-cored domed anticlines, and shale-withdrawal basins, which become progressively younger basinward. At Blessing, major growth faults trap sands of the Greta/Calhoun barrier system, having some discrete shale diapirs but little progradation. At Pleasant Bayou, a major early growth-fault system was overprinted by salt tectonics—the intrusion of Danbury Dome and the development of a salt-withdrawal basin. At Port Arthur, low-displacement, long-lived faults formed on a sand-poor shelf margin contemporaneously with broad salt uplifts and basins. Variability in styles can be related to the nature and extent of Frio sedimentation and shelf-margin progradation and to the presence of salt. Structural styles that are conducive to large geothermal reservoirs include blocks between widely spaced growth faults having dip reversal, salt-withdrawal basins, and shale-withdrawal basins. These styles are widespread on the Texas Gulf Coast. However, actually finding a large reservoir depends on demonstrating the existence of sufficient sand having adequate quality to support geopressured geothermal energy production.

description: Permian evaporite strata of the Palo Duro Basin, Texas Panhandle, are considered to have low permeabilities but are capable of some leakage. Cross-sectional and areal modeling of regional groundwater flow in the Palo Duro Basin indicates leakage from the Upper aquifer through the Evaporite aquitard that contributes approximately 30 percent of the water in the underlying Deep-Basin Brine aquifer. The regional estimate of permeability of the aquitard (~ 10^-4 md) is in general agreement with laboratory testing of salt permeability. Oxygen and hydrogen isotopic composition and the Cl/Br ratio of the deep-basin brines also suggest leakage through the aquitard. Isotopically non-equilibrated meteoric waters are found to depths of 8,000 ft. Leakage through the aquitard may occur as either matrix or fracture flow. According to petrographic and geochemical studies of the evaporite strata, halite dissolution and minor recrystallization occurred predominantly during Permian time. Post-Permian waters may have altered the top of the Evaporite aquitard. Fracturing is prevalent in the rock strata in the basin; the greatest density of fracturing occurs in areas with tectonic deformation. The potential for leakage may be greatest in these areas.

description: Preliminary data derived from six dust traps installed on the Southern High Plains show that dust deposition varies locally and seasonally in response to natural and man-induced factors. Monthly rates of dustfall at individual stations ranged from 0.658 g/m^2 at Muleshoe to 13.4-41 g/m^2 at Palo Duro Canyon. Dust deposition contributes significantly to the renewal of the High Plains surface. The Southern High Plains has been identified as the dustiest region in the contiguous USA (Orgill and Sehmel, 1976). Sources of dust are numerous and include desiccated playa bottoms, sand dunes, floodplain deposits, plowed fields, overgrazed rangeland, and unpaved roads. Ambient dust deposition is a continuous process augmented by rapid influx of material during duststorms and precipitation events. This study focuses on the amount and characteristics of present-day ambient dustfall. This information is necessary to assess the influence of future eolian deposition and its effect on landscape evolution over the expected lifespan of a high-level nuclear waste repository. Six dust collectors, consisting of quart-sized, glass canning jars with screened openings, and glycerol as the trapping medium, were installed at pre-established weather-monitoring stations. The traps were designed to collect material deposited by gravitational settling and were mounted at heights of 135 to 147 cm above ground level. The collection sites were chosen to represent natural conditions as accurately as possible. Dust collection was initiated in February 1983 and is expected to continue for 3 to 5 years. Samples are collected monthly (± 3 days) and analyzed for dust quantity, mineralogic composition, and grain-size distribution. Dustfall values are reported as D, g/m^2/month (American Society for Testing and Materials, 1979). Preliminary results show that the quantity of dust varies greatly between stations. As regional weather patterns are fairly homogeneous over this physiographic province, local differences in soils, land-use practices, vegetation density, topography, and subsequent wind flow account for the variations.

description: At least twenty earthquakes have occurred in the Texas Panhandle north of 34°N since 1907. The largest earthquakes had magnitudes up to 4.8, and the intensities throughout the Panhandle have ranged from IV to VI (Modified Mercalli), corresponding to accelerations from 6.8 cm/s² to over 31.6 cm/s². The record of seismicity in the Texas Panhandle dates back to 1907 when the first reported event occurred near Amarillo. Since then, numerous events have been reported or instrumentally recorded from the Panhandle. In the most complete survey of seismicity in the Panhandle (north of 34° latitude) to be undertaken, 20 earthquakes were identified from 1907 through July 1982. Slightly more than half of the events have locations determined from felt reports, and the others from instrumental locations. During the process of identifying earthquakes, contemporary newspaper accounts, weather bulletins, seismological reports, and other sources were reviewed. Several reported events were found to be in error. Specifically, the published locations of some events are erroneous by tens or hundreds of kilometers, one event was, in fact, a sonic boom, and one "event" near the Panhandle resulted from spurious data reported from seismological observatories nearby. The largest earthquakes in the Texas Panhandle had magnitudes of 4.7 to 4.8 (determined by maximum intensity and felt areas); there were five such events between 1917 and 1951. Since instrumental recording became widespread in about 1962, only two events of magnitude greater than 4.0 have occurred. Although some of the earthquakes reported have been assigned magnitudes of 3.0 or less, the detection threshold is probably considerably higher. As evidence, it is noted that a magnitude 3.4 event in 1983 would have been undetected by conventional procedures, had there not been a specific interest in modern seismicity. Since this interest did not exist until recently, it is probable that many earthquakes of magnitude up to 3.5 have gone unrecognized, and it is likely that some larger events have been missed as well.

description: The greatest losses of coastal land in Texas occur along highly erosional deltaic headlands having relatively narrow and steep beaches. This type of beach occurs south of Sargent, Texas, a small community located on the western flank of the Holocene Brazos-Colorado delta (figs. 1 and 2). At Sargent Beach, the transgressive beach deposits are composed of sand and gravel (shell and rock fragments) derived from relict sediments exposed on the inner shelf. Whole and broken surf-zone, shelf, and bay species constitute the biogenic detritus; bay species (Crassostrea virginica, Rangia cuneata, and Mercenaria spp.) are the most abundant shell material concentrated on the beach and in the adjacent washover terrace. This mixed bay-estuarine shell assemblage is eroded from the Holocene delta-plain muds as the shoreline retreats. Sargent Beach is far removed from major sediment sources (river mouths) and human activities that directly influence shoreline changes. For that reason, it is significant that the area has experienced the highest long-term and short-term rates of erosion along the Texas coast (Seelig and Sorensen, 1973; Morton and Pieper, 1975; Sealy and Ahr, 1975). Accelerated erosion at Sargent Beach since 1930 (fig. 3) is probably related to significant reductions in sediment supplied by the Brazos River (Morton and Pieper, 1975; Mathewson and Minter, 1976) rather than to the relative rise in sea level. The shoreline of the Holocene Brazos-Colorado delta has been retreating for the past few thousand years, but construction of dams and relocation of the Brazos River channel have recently caused substantial reductions in the amount of sand delivered to downdrift beaches (Morton, 1979).

description: This summary report was prepared at the request of the General Land Office as part of a review of documents pertaining to the proposed reopening of Packery Channel on North Padre Island, Texas. The principal purpose of the review was to determine if geological issues were adequately addressed in the environmental assessment report prepared by Shiner, Moseley and Associates, Inc. (1987), hereinafter referred to as SMA (1987). The analysis of potential environmental impacts of the proposed channel by SMA (1987) relies heavily on hydrodynamic, bathymetric, and sedimentological data collected at the Mustang Island Fish Pass (Watson and Behrens, 1976; Behrens and others, 1977). When it was dredged in 1972, the Fish Pass was approximately 8 ft deep and 60 ft wide at the bottom of the channel. During the first few years of operation, it had an equilibrium cross-sectional area of about 1,000 ft² (Watson and Behrens, 1976, p. 36). As currently designed, reopened Packery Channel would have a bottom width of 140 ft, a depth of 10 ft, and 3:1 sloping sides that would provide an effective cross-sectional area of about 1,700 ft² (SMA, 1987, p. 11.3), or nearly twice the cross-sectional area of the Fish Pass. Five of the most significant geological and hydrological issues involving a dredged channel across North Padre Island are: (1) general water circulation, (2) storm flooding, (3) shoaling of the dredged channel, (4) shoreline erosion, and (5) potential effects on the stability of Aransas Pass. Because of the complex nature of coastal processes in the area, most of these issues are partly interrelated, but they are listed separately for purposes of discussion.

description: Hydrologic investigations are in progress in Trans-Pecos Texas at the proposed site of a low-level radioactive waste repository. The site is approximately 40 mi (65 km) southeast of El Paso in the Hueco Bolson, a fault-bounded desert basin that developed in the late Tertiary. Groundwater in the area of the proposed site is found at depths of 478 ft (146 m) and 592 ft (180 m) in bolson silt and sand and Cretaceous limestone, respectively. The unsaturated zone consists of approximately 50 ft (15 m) of alluvial silt, sand, and gravel underlain by 450 ft (137 m) of lacustrine and fluvial clay, silt, and fine sand. High-priority tasks for characterizing the groundwater regime include (1) evaluating groundwater resources in the area, (2) determining groundwater flow paths and velocities, (3) testing hydrologic hypotheses using groundwater flow models, and (4) determining groundwater hydrochemistry. The objective of this report is to evaluate the groundwater resources and to discuss our current understanding of groundwater flow paths and velocities. Groundwater resources in the vicinity of the site are limited by two key factors: (1) costs of drilling and completing wells and of producing water at depths greater than 400 ft (122 m) and (2) very low productivity of aquifers. Typical transmissivities of aquifers producing from bolson and Cretaceous strata, based on four tests, range from approximately 4.3 x 10^-2 ft²/day (4.0 x 10^-3 m²/day) to 2.9 x 10^2 ft²/day (2.7 x 10^1 m²/day). A composite potentiometric surface has been mapped on the basis of static water levels measured in all available wells. Regional groundwater flow is interpreted from the potentiometric surface to be generally south-southwest toward the Rio Grande.

description: The Hueco Basin of Trans-Pecos Texas and Chihuahua, Mexico, formed in response to Basin and Range extensional tectonism that began about 24 million years ago and continues to the present. The southeastern arm of the basin is asymmetrical with the thickest sediments deposited along the fault-bounded basin axis near the southwestern flank. Approximately 45 km long and striking northwestward, the Campo Grande fault is 12 km from the northeastern basin edge; it divides the downthrown, central part of the basin (>2,000 m of fill) from the shallower (175 m of fill) northeastern flank. Another major northwest-striking fault dips northeastward and bounds the southwestern basin margin in Mexico. The Campo Grande fault trend is composed of en echelon fault strands that are 1.5 to 10 km long and have strikes of N25° to 75°W. Dips are between 60° and 90° southwest. Displacements decrease near terminations of strands. Grooves on fault planes indicate mostly dip-slip movement. Fault scarps have been modified by erosion of the footwall and deposition on the hanging wall. Erosion-resistant caliche (stages IV to V) at the surface aids in preserving scarp heights of between 1.5 and 11.5 m and scarp slopes of 4° to 17°. Analysis of faulted upper Tertiary and Quaternary units indicates that successively younger units have less displacement. Maximum vertical offset measured across fault strands cutting the middle Pleistocene Madden Gravel (0.6 to 0.4 million years old), which caps the Camp Rice Formation, is about 10 m. Repeated arroyo incision and fluvial aggradation since the middle Pleistocene have developed Pleistocene terraces that are locally correlative and are mapped as parts of the regionally outcropping Ramey and Balluco Gravels. Holocene terraces also occur. Maximum throws across fault strands that cut Ramey terraces (0.4 to 0.1 million years old?) are 2.5 to 3 m, but some Ramey deposits overlie fault strands and are not faulted. Offset of Balluco (0.1 to 0.025 million years old?) and Holocene terraces has not been observed at fault strands that cut Ramey terraces. The average recurrence interval is 0.1 million years (maximum), and the last faulting episode was late Pleistocene. On the downdropped block of one fault strand, faulted calcic horizons (0.5 to 1.0 m thick; stage III) with vertical separations of 1 to 2 m indicate at least five episodes of movement, deposition, and surface stabilization during the last 0.6 to 0.4 million years. Maximum vertical offset during the last faulting event was about 1 to 1.5 m.
