Rock Magnetic Cyclostratigraphy of the Carboniferous Mauch Chunk Formation, Pottsville, PA, United States

The magnetic polarity stratigraphy of the Mauch Chunk Formation, Pennsylvania.

Three sections of Chesterian Mauch Chunk Formation in Pennsylvania have been studied paleomagnetically to determine a Late Mississippian magnetic polarity stratigraphy. The upper section at Lavelle includes a conglomerate with abundant red siltstone rip-up clasts that yielded a positive conglomerate test. All samples were subjected to progressive thermal demagnetization to temperatures as high ...

Retardation and Elimination in the Schools of Mauch Chunk Township

Over 10,000,000 children leave school to go into the trades without a complete common school education. There are 32,000,000 breadwinners in the United States, 2,000,000 of whom do brain work, and the remainder, 30,000,000, are employed in the manual labor trades. According to this table only 17 per cent of the pupils who enter the first grade of the elementary school remain to complete the wor...

Health System Reform in the United States

In 2010, the United States adopted its first-ever comprehensive set of health system reforms in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Implementation of the law, though politically contentious and controversial, has now reached a stage where reversal of most elements of the law is no longer feasible. The controversial portions of the law that expand affordable health insurance coverage to most U.S. cit...

High‐resolution rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy in an Eocene flysch, Spanish Pyrenees

[1] A rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy, based on anhysteretic remanent magnetization (ARM) intensity variations, was developed for the Eocene Arguis Formation in the Spanish Pyrenees. The Arguis Formation was sampled for ARM cyclostratigraphy, rock magnetic, and paleomagnetic analyses. Rock magnetic measurements indicate that the dominant magnetic mineral controlling the ARM cyclostratigraphy is...
