description: Flow through passive porous media is typically described in terms of a linear theory relating current fluxes and driving forces, in the presence of a prescribed heterogeneous permeability. However, many porous systems such as glacial drainage networks, erosional river bed networks, vascular networks, social insect swarms and animal architectures such as termite mounds are continuously remodeled by the flow and thence modify the flow, i.e. they are active. Here we consider a minimal model for an active porous medium where flow and resistance are coupled to each other. Using numerical simulations, we show that this results in both channelization and wall-building transitions depending on the form of the feedback. A continuum model allows us to understand the qualitative features of the resulting phase diagram, and suggests ways to realize complex architectures using simple rules in engineered systems.

description: Mange norske skoler har tatt i bruk Spekter-undersøkelsen. Spekter er en ikke-anonym digital undersøkelse som anvendes i arbeidet med å forebygge og håndtere mobbing. Frem til nå har verktøyet vært omtalt og diskutert fra de voksnes perspektiv, og det er lite forskning på elevenes erfaringer. Denne artikkelen belyser elevenes perspektiv basert på kvalitative intervju med elever ved tre videregående skoler. Funnene viser at elevene stiller seg positive til verktøyet og betrakter det som et viktig element i lærernes arbeid med læringsmiljøet, til tross for ubehaget ved å rangere andre elever, muligheten for å svare feil og for at informasjonen skal lekke. Vi forklarer elevenes overveiende positive holdninger med at verdien av å ha et trygt læringsmiljø overskygger dette ubehaget.

description: We present integral field spectroscopy of 10 early-type galaxies in the nearby, low-mass, Fornax cluster, from which we derive spatially resolved stellar kinematics. Based on the morphologies of their stellar velocity maps we classify 2/10 galaxies as slow rotators, with the remaining 8 galaxies fast rotators. Supplementing our integral field observations with morphological and kinematic data from the literature, we analyse the `kinematic' type of all 30 galaxies in the Fornax cluster brighter than M_K = -21.5 mag (M_* ~ 6 x 10^9 M_sun). Our sample's slow rotator fraction within one virial radius is 7(^+4_-6) per cent. 13(^+8_-6} per cent of the early-type galaxies are slow rotators, consistent with the observed fraction in other galaxy aggregates. The fraction of slow rotators in Fornax varies with cluster-centric radius, rising to 16(^+11_-8) per cent of all kinematic types within the central 0.2 virial radii, from 0 per cent in the cluster outskirts. We find that, even in mass-matched samples of slow and fast rotators, slow rotators are found preferentially at higher projected environmental density than fast rotators. This demonstrates that dynamical friction alone cannot be responsible for the differing distributions of slow and fast rotators. For dynamical friction to play a significant role, slow rotators must reside in higher mass sub-halos than fast rotators and/or form in the centres of groups before being accreted on to the cluster.

subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: The San Pedro Hills represent a line of heights adjacent to the sea coast, and extending in a northwesterly direction
from the town of San Pedro to Santa Monica Bay, a distance of about ten miles. The width of the hills is about four
miles. The highest point is San Pedro Hill, which rises to an  elevation of 1480 feet.

The area investigated by this survey comprises about the eastern half of these Hills, and includes about twenty
square miles. Most of this territory is included in the "San Pedro Hills'" quadrangle, but the eastern quarter of it
lies in the "Wilmington" quadrangle.  The town of San Pedro covers a portion of the eastern third of the area, and the
consequent cultivation there renders mapping rather difficult, although several road cuts and excavations expose some excellent sections. The remainder of the area is more or less free from habitations, except for some ranches devoted to the cultivation of beans and hay. The exposures are as a whole rather poor, except inroad cuts and on canyon walls. The area is well cut up by good roads, and an automobile can be used to advantage in mapping.

Practically the only work published on this area was done by Ralph Arnold, whose work, included the paleontological study of Dead Man's Island, and a section along the west shore of San Pedro Bay. Arnold's work, though now questioned by later investigators, has been accepted by the writer in the age determination of the different formations.

The survey made by the writer and Mr Bell, as a senior thesis for the California Institute, was done during the winter of 1927 and the spring of 1928, and included the mapping of the formations as defined by Arnold, and an investigation of the structure and physiography of the area. The paleontological work done by this survey was limited to an investigation of the foraminifera from Timm's Point.

description: It is demonstrated numerically that by using Pyragas' method of chaos self-control a stable semiconductor oscillator can be designed based on driven real-space transfer oscillations in a modulation-doped heterostructure. By application of a small time-continuous delayed feedback voltage control signal, different unstable periodic orbits embedded in the chaotic attractor can be stabilized. Thus different modes of self-generated periodic voltage oscillations can be selected by choosing an appropriate delay time. This provides tunability to different discrete frequencies.

description: The present report constitutes the D1 report addressed to EURAMET of the first work package ”Pressure measurements based on Fabry-Pérot cavity based refractometry” of the EMPIR 18SIB04 ”QuantumPascal” project, titled ”Towards quantum-based realisations of the pascal”. Its aim is to, based on four guides, viz. those on Cavity deformation from A1.1.4, Temperature control and assessment from A1.2.3, Gas permeation from A1.3.4, and Gas modulation methodologies from A1.4.3, provide a ”Design guide for FP-based refractometry for pressure assessments with relative uncertainties of 500 ppm in the range 1 Pa – 1 kPa and 10 ppm in the range 1 kPa - 100 kPa”. Based on the four guides, the report adequately presents the outcome of the ”QuantumPascal” project within the aforementioned areas. Significant progress has been achieved within all of these areas. Regarding cavity deformation, a novel methodology for assessment of the cavity deformation that, for the case when pure gases are used, can provide such an accurate assessment that the deformation only contributes to the uncertainty in the assessment of pressure down on the 1 - 2 ppm level. Several systems have been realized that can provide assessments of the gas temperature with such low uncertainty that are well below the requirement for obtaining the benchmark conditions. Studies of gas permeability have been made that clearly provide recommendations for which cavity spacer materials are suitable and which should be avoided. The Gas Modulation Refractometry (GAMOR) methodology has been further developed so as to make possible assessments of important characterization parameters with low uncertainty and to allow for the realization of refractometers with a short-term precision down to the 10−8 level and an uncertainty close to the benchmarks. It has also allowed for the construction of a transportable system that has been used in other work packages. The guide also provides an updated theoretical model of Fabry-Pérot (FP) refractometry that includes effects of frequency shifts, mode jumps, cavity deformation, mirror penetration depth, and the Gouy phase. It also provides a set of recommendations for the realization of FP cavity based refractometry.

Emission of Microbial Aerosols from Polluted Waters in Densely Populated Regions

Publisher: name: Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute, University of Kentucky
Year: 1978

description: Abstract:
The air surrounding three activated sludge tanks was sampled over a two year period for the emission of bacterial aerosols under a variety of climatic conditions and at varying distances upwind and downwind of the aerated tanks. All plants emitted species of enteric bacteria which are significant as index organisms and as frank pathogens. The emission pattern of these bacteria were influenced by distance from the plant and wind direction. Within the parameters of a plant, defined arbitrarily in this study by sampling sites less than 150 m upwind and less than 900 m downwind, distance from the source was the only reliable predictor of emissions, and no statistical significance was found in the differences between upwind and downwind samples at the same distances from the plant. Multiple regression analysis revealed no consistent influences of any environmental factor on emission rate, but relative humidity, wind speed, air temperature, and ozone levels showed some contribution on the bacterial count, while light intensity appeared to have little influence. The deposition and retention of enteric bacteria on foliage plants near aerated basins was used as an alternate sampling method, and it emphasized the potential hazard of these aerosols. This method confirmed the inability to predict the emission rate by climatic factors, but wind speed contributed directly to the counts, and there was a pronounced difference in the average counts of upwind and downwind samples.
The LD50 in mice was the same for aerosolized Klebsiella pneumoniae as for a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae recovered from the sputum of a patient with pneumonia. Escherichia, Enterobacter and Klebsiella were recovered from the respiratory tract of mice forced to inhale air at a sewage treatment plant when the respiratory organs were assayed immediately after exposure, but not when the assay followed a prolonged period of observation, during which there was also an absence of clinical symptoms. This investigation also included a pilot study of the numbers of viable cells in the colony forming units on plates exposed in an Andersen Sampler, and CFU was found to be an unreliable index of viable cell counts. The study concludes that bacterial aerosols are a hazard for residents living near package plants, and recommends adopting alternate methods of sewage treatment that would remove the emissions of numerous package plants from the environment of densely populated regions.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The Graph Analysis toolbox is a number of software components for the computation, processing and analysis of graph collections. Although the toolbox can be used generally for any type of data sources, it is specially oriented to the processing and analysis of large corpora of scientific documents. Starting from a given corpus of scientific documents (projects, papers, patents, etc.), the tools can be used to generate graphs describing the semantic similarity relations between documents; infer graphs connecting authors according to different types of relations (research affinity, cooperation, co-citation, etc.); and also infer graphs associated to other metadata in the corpus (affiliation, funding organizations, etc.). Additional analysis tools for node profiling and centralization measures can be used to identify the main features of documents, authors or other metadata based on the structure of their connections in the graph. The key modules of the toolbox are: 1. Import data from files or SQL / Neo4J databases, for the generation or the enrichment of graphs. 2. Generation and processing of graphs. 3. Management and processing structured collections of graphs (named supergraphs) The results of the analysis can be stored in formats that facilitate their visualization through applications such as the IntelComp-native graph visualization component developed by Work Package 4, and other external applications like Gephi or software modules like Halo. Moreover, a complete python application has been developed, and all the software functionalities can be exploited by using a terminal-based interface, allowing its integration in automated scripted processes and by user friendlier navigation through a menu hierarchy.

Data Collection and Pilot Assessments
Data Collection
Pilot Assessments

description: This document represents the assessment of the iHelp approaches by showing the proposed data collecting processing and modelling flow. This workflow’s final purpose is to provide to the clinicians a better insight of the Pancreatic Cancer disease.
 There are five pilot studies within the iHelp designed to help test and validate the personalized solution developed in this project by providing different types of data which is useful within the various aspects/scenarios of disease prevention.
 The five pilots involved in this project, provide the input data needed for the IHelp technical partners to analyse and compile smart models that can help with predicting this type of disease.
 Upon the completion of the 1st iteration of this report on D6.5 (“Data Collection and Pilot Assessments I”), adjustments and improvements will be made and will be reflected in the 2nd iteration of this deliverable, i.e., D6.6 (“Data Collection and Pilot Assessments II”).
 This document contains the description of data collection processes and procedures and the instruments used to evaluate these processes. It also describes the evaluation mechanisms of pilot studies.
 The data collection instruments section presents an overview of what the data collection strategy is for each pilot, how data will be formatted and distributed and what is the methodology for data ingestion into the iHelp platform from each pilot’s perspective.
 Pilots will present details about the measuring of the data quality by describing the evaluation instruments for data collection and assessment measures. Pilots will present details about the data quality and quantity and will describe how the data flow is managed.
 To ensure proper data flow and smooth ingestion of the data from the pilots to the iHelp platform, partners have identified potential risks that could appear, and the solutions that alleviate the impact of these potential issues.

We discuss how these data give to the GFT amplitudes the structure of lattice gauge theories and simplicial gravity path integrals, and make their quantum geometry manifest. We focus in particular on the non-commutative flux/algebra representation of these models.

Constraints on Tsallis Cosmology from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and the Relic Abundance of Cold Dark Matter Particles

description: By employing Tsallis' extensive but non-additive $δ$-entropy, we formulate the first two laws of thermodynamics for gravitating systems. By invoking Carathéodory's principle, we pay particular attention to the integrating factor for the heat one-form. We show that the latter factorizes into the product of thermal and entropic parts, where the entropic part cannot be reduced to a constant, as is the case in conventional thermodynamics, due to the non-additive nature of $S_δ$. The ensuing two laws of thermodynamics imply a Tsallis cosmology, which is then applied to a radiation-dominated universe to address the Big Bang nucleosynthesis and the relic abundance of cold dark matter particles. It is demonstrated that the Tsallis cosmology with the scaling exponent $δ$$\sim$$1.499$ (or equivalently, the anomalous dimension $Δ\sim0.0013$) consistently describes both the abundance of cold dark matter particles and the formation of primordial light elements, such as deuterium ${}^{2}\!H$ and helium ${}^{4}\!He$. Salient issues, including the zeroth law of thermodynamics for the $δ$-entropy and the lithium ${}^{7}\!Li$ problem, are also briefly discussed.

description: We present a comprehensive analytical theory of localized nonlinear excitations - dark solitons, supported by an incoherently pumped, spatially homogeneous exciton-polariton condensate. We show that, in contrast to dark solitons in conservative systems, these nonlinear excitations "relax" by blending with the background at a finite time, which critically depends on the parameters of the condensate. Our analytical results for trajectory and lifetime are in excellent agreement with direct numerical simulations of the open-dissipative mean-field model. In addition, we show that transverse instability of quasi-one-dimensional dark stripes in a two-dimensional open-dissipative condensate demonstrates features that are entirely absent in conservative systems, as creation of vortex-antivortex pairs competes with the soliton relaxation process.

title: Marriage and desire in seventeenth-century French comedy
Creators: name: Townshend, Sarah Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2015

description: This thesis re-examines the role of marriage in the golden age of seventeenth-century French comedy. It reconsiders received wisdom on the subject to challenge acceptance of the final promise of marriage as a dénouement complet to comedy. Through an analysis of the themes of discontent, cuckoldry, fertility, non-heteronormative desire and widowhood, it offers an alternative view of what comedy can encompass. Close reading of works by Molière, Quinault, (Thomas) Corneille, (Françoise) Pascal, Ulrich and de Visé establishes that comedy can be both enjoyable and satisfying while incorporating elements that conflict with the marriage ideal. This thesis does not attempt to provide a full socio-historical reading of seventeenth-century attitudes to marriage, although an understanding of contemporary attitudes provides a starting point for close textual analysis. Critical theories, notably gender theory, are used where appropriate to further clarify the role of marriage in comedy. Chapter One presents and problematizes the framework of marriage as the structuring principle of comedy, drawing on themes of compatibility, discontent and desire. The second chapter focuses on anxiety regarding cuckoldry in comedy, relating it to the promise of marriage. An analysis of the desires of older characters in projected comedic marriages, particularly as these desires relate to fertility, is the guiding principle of Chapter Three, which also sets out essential terms of reference for the fourth chapter on widowhood and queer desire. The thesis demonstrates that rather than constituting a satisfying and happy ending, a constant challenge is posed to the promise of marriage by on-stage marriages, fears of cuckoldry, widowhood, and ‘inappropriate’ or queer desires. I propose a more nuanced reading, showing that comedy can be fully satisfying and structurally complete without a final promise of marriage, and that, rather, comedy can incorporate significant elements that appear antithetical to the ideal of marriage typically associated with the genre.

description: The electron scattering optical depth constraints on reionization suggest that there may be other sources that contribute to the ionization of hydrogen aside from observable star forming galaxies. Often the calculated value of the electron scattering optical depth, τ_{es}, falls below the measurements derived from observations of the CMB or an assumption about non-observable sources must be made in order to reach agreement. Here, we calculate the hydrogen ionization fraction as a function of redshift and the electron scattering optical depth from both galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN) factoring in the secondary collisional ionizations from the AGN X-ray emission. In this paper we use the most current determination of the evolving hard X-ray luminosity function and extrapolate its evolution beyond z = 6. The AGN spectral energy distributions (SEDs) include both UV and X-ray ionizing photons. To search for the largest possible effect, all AGN are assumed to have λ_{Edd} = 1.0 and be completely unobscured. The results show that AGNs produce a perturbative effect on the reionization of hydrogen and remains in agreement with current constraints. Our calculations find the epoch of reionization still ends at z \approx 6 and only increases the electron scattering optical depth by ~2.3% under the most optimal conditions. This can only be moderately increased by assuming a constant black hole mass of M_{BH} = 10^(5) solar masses. As a result, we conclude that there is a need for other sources beyond observable galaxies and AGNs that contribute to the reionization of hydrogen at z > 6.

Universality of free homogeneous sums in every dimension

description: We prove a general multidimensional invariance principle for a family of U-statistics based on freely independent non-commutative random variables of the type $U_n(S)$, where $U_n(x)$ is the $n$-th Chebyshev polynomial and $S$ is a standard semicircular element on a fixed $W^{\ast}$-probability space. As a consequence, we deduce that homogeneous sums based on random variables of this type are universal with respect to both semicircular and free Poisson approximations. Our results are stated in a general multidimensional setting and can be seen as a genuine extension of some recent findings by Deya and Nourdin; our techniques are based on the combination of the free Lindeberg method and the Fourth moment Theorem.
title: Assessing Arctica islandica as a proxy for Scottish marine climate change
Creators: name: Stott, Keziah J.
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2014

description: This thesis investigates the potential of the bivalve Arctica islandica (Linnaeus, 1767) from fjordic sites in NW Scotland for reconstructing past marine environmental /climatic variability. Using dendrochronological and sclerochronological techniques, six master chronologies were created which when compared show little common variability between the sites, indicating no common response to regional scale forcing. The chronologies were compared to local and regional scale SST and land based datasets, with no significant, time stable responses to climate found. It is clear the growth/climate response of A. islandica from these sites is complex, potentially due to the shallow nature of the sample sites, direct local drivers such as food availability and, potentially, anthropogenic activity in the region. Geochemical analyses of the shell material were undertaken to examine the timing and magnitude of the radiocarbon bomb-peak and the stable carbon isotope signature of the oceanic Suess Effect. The timing of the radiocarbon bomb-peak in Loch Etive does not appear to match previously published results from other marine locations and are a potentially serious challenge to the assumption that A. islandica GI are always annual features. Results comparing δ¹³C values and the age of the specimen when these values are incorporated into the shell material strongly indicate an ontogenetic control over δ¹³C, meaning the Suess Effect could not be effectively investigated. To take these ontogenetic influences into account it is suggested that any data from the juvenile period of shell life is not used. Analysis of shell biometrics and morphology indicate significant relationships between shell age and height and age and weight, however the errors for these are large (±78 years and ±80 years respectively). These results indicate that despite large errors shell height, as a predictor of age, has the potential to be used for in situ population studies.

description: The area discussed in this report is located in Los Angeles County and lies partly within the city limits of Pasadena. The area extends from the Arroyo Seco on the east to a northsouth line about half a mile west of Eagle Rock, and from a eastwest line along the southern part of the San Rafael hills southward a distance of three to three and one half miles.

The map used in the field work is a portion of the
U.S.G.S. Altadena Quadrangle with scale 1/24000 and
vertical contour interval five and twenty five feet.
This map was found to be unusually accurate topographically.

The purpose of this paper is to report the results
of a general geological survey of the area outlined
above. The usual brunton compass was used for field location. Locations are not indicated by numbers on the
map as it was found more convenient in the field work
to refer to specific points by their distances and directions from street intersections.

The extreme northern portion of the area is covered
with thick brush. All the other parts of the area are covered with grass or in the more hilly portions, with a light brush covering. The lowest point in the area (located in the south central part) has an elevation of approximately 550 feet while the highest point (located in the extreme northwestern portion) has an elevation of approximately 1,400 feet, giving a total relief of 850 feet.

description: We describe the development of a noise-temperature testing capability for phased-array antennas operating in receive mode from 0.7 GHz to 1.8 GHz. Sampled voltages from each array port were recorded digitally as the zenith-pointing array under test was presented with three scenes: (1) a large microwave absorber at ambient temperature, (2) the unobstructed radio sky, and (3) broadband noise transmitted from a reference antenna centred over and pointed at the array under test. The recorded voltages were processed in software to calculate the beam equivalent noise temperature for a maximum signal-to-noise ratio beam steered at the zenith. We introduced the reference-antenna measurement to make noise measurements with reproducible, well-defined beams directed at the zenith and thereby at the centre of the absorber target. We applied a detailed model of cosmic and atmospheric contributions to the radio sky emission that we used as a noise-temperature reference. We also present a comprehensive analysis of measurement uncertainty including random and systematic effects. The key systematic effect was due to uncertainty in the beamformed antenna pattern and how efficiently it illuminates the absorber load. We achieved a combined uncertainty as low as 4 K for a 40 K measurement of beam equivalent noise temperature. The measurement and analysis techniques described in this paper were pursued to support noise-performance verification of prototype phased-array feeds for the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder telescope.

The missing link of science in policy – 1M scientists and 100M hours could be part of the answer

description: We can only tackle 21st century challenges if more scientists reach out to the policy community with relevant science, articulated in ways that engage policy makers. Valuing and rewarding scientists who devote time to gaining and deploying these skills could create momentum that will not only transform policies formulated now, but will ensure the next generation of scientists have a voice in ensuring that excellent science is in the hands of those serving society. We are at a crossroads. As World Economic Forum Young Scientists (past and present), we raise this issue and call for change at the global level so that, in the future, science is more effectively and sustainably infused into policies that enable solutions to global challenges. The ways we assess and evaluate research and scientific excellence are currently being discussed across the world, with initiatives such as the Declaration of Research Assessment (DORA) raising critical questions. We need to build a commitment to science policy engagement into our assessments of research excellence.

description: Abstract:
A Nuclear Double Resonance Spectrograph has been designed and constructed with emphasis on quadrupolar nuclei of half-integral spins. The use of a data acquisition and processing system featuring the A/D converter, signal averager with built in fast Fourier transformation hardware greatly improves the S/N ratio. The spectrograph has been used to detect certain organochlorine, carbamate and symmetrical triazine pesticides. Concentration levels that can be detected range from 15 to 100 micrograms per liter. Since the measurements are done below ice temperatures, heat-labile compounds can be detected without conversion to more suitable derivatives as in gas chromatography. Fats and oils in sample extracts do not interfere with the measurements. Further improvement in sensitivity is possible by using liquid nitrogen-cooled, ferrite-cored electromagnet, by increasing the polarizing field and by reducing receiver recovery time.
In addition to analysis of pesticides, the Nuclear Double Resonance technique can be used to study the electronic structure of molecules.

title: Death in Anglo-Saxon hagiography : approaches, attitudes, aesthetics
Creators: name: Key, Jennifer Selina
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2014

description: This thesis examines attitudes and approaches towards death, as well as aesthetic representations of death, in Anglo-Saxon hagiography. The thesis contributes to the discussion of the historical and intellectual contexts of hagiography and considers how saintly death-scenes are represented to form commentaries on exemplary behaviour. A comprehensive survey of death-scenes in Anglo-Saxon hagiography has been undertaken, charting typical and atypical motifs used in literary manifestations of both martyrdom and non-violent death. The clusters of literary motifs found in these texts and what their use suggests about attitudes to exemplary death is analysed in an exploration of whether Anglo-Saxon hagiography presents a consistent aesthetic of death. The thesis also considers how modern scholarly fields such as thanatology can provide fresh discourses on the attitudes to and depictions of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ deaths. Moreover, the thesis addresses the intersection of the hagiographic inheritance with discernibly Anglo-Saxon attitudes towards death and dying, and investigates whether or not the deaths of native Anglo-Saxon saints are presented differently compared with the deaths of universal saints. The thesis explores continuities and discontinuities in the presentations of physical and spiritual death, and assesses whether or not differences exist in the depiction of death-scenes based on an author’s personal agenda, choice of terminology, approaches towards the body–soul dichotomy, or the gender of his or her subject, for example. Furthermore, the thesis investigates how hagiographic representations of death compare with portrayals in other literature of the Anglo-Saxon period, and whether any non-hagiographic paradigms provide alternative exemplars of the ‘good death’. The thesis also assesses gendered portrayals of death, the portrayal of last words in saints’ lives, and the various motifs relating to the soul at the moment of death. The thesis contains a Motif Index of saintly death-scenes as Appendix I.

description: The region embraced within this report lies in the West central part of Kern County, California, about twenty miles North and East of the little railroad town of Mohave. It is approximately 138 miles due North of Los Angeles, and may easily be reached by good road via the Midland Trail.

The area comprises about 45 square miles in the Eastern portion of the Tehachapi Mountains, and is roughly bissected by Jawbone Canyon which trend's almost due East and West.

With respect to other great geographic divisions of the Western United States, the area covered lies in the Western portion of the Great Basin province.

North of the town of Mohave, the Tehachapi Mountains trend about N. 40° E., and continue in their Eastward extension until they join the El Paso range.

Considered in a broad way, the Eastern portion of the Jawbone Canyon area consists of the flat floor of the Mojave Desert. The floor of the desert is abruptly terminated by the Tehachapi Mountains, and from here Westward, the region is made up chiefly of naked hills and deep canyons.

The trip to Jawbone Canyon by automobile can easily be made in about four hours, from Los Angeles.

Within five miles of the mouth of Jawbone Canyon, lies the Owenyo branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad.

All of the area above described lies entirely within the Mojave Quadrangle of the United States Geological Survey.
