H. Scott Hamlin is a research scientist associate at the Bureau of Economic Geology. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees and his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. His research interests include depositional systems, stratigraphy, reservoir characterization, and hydrogeology. Ozona sandstone, Val Verde Basin, Texas: Synorogenic stratigraphy and depositional history in a Permian for...

Based on the latest laboratory test and prospect well data of G layer in south depression of D basin, the source rock、reservoir、cap-rock and preservation forming condition of tight oil and gas within research area is analyzed. The results indicate that the widely distributed dark mudstone of J layer has rather high organic content .IIb and III types are the mainly genetic types of organic matte...

Trapping is a common sampling technique used to estimate fundamental population metrics of animal species such as abundance, survival and distribution. However, capture success for any trapping method can be heavily influenced by individuals' behavioural plasticity, which in turn affects the accuracy of any population estimates derived from the data. Funnel trapping is one of the most common me...

In certain sections of the state of Indiana sources of recognized ag­ gregates for use in bituminous construction are very few, and the trans­ portation of aggregates to the job site from remote locations becomes necessary. Often the distance over which the aggregate must be moved is considerable, and the importation involves the expenditure of a size­ able sum of money, which it would be desir...

The radioprotective effect of anthocyanin extracted from Lonicera caerulea var. edulis (ALC), was studied in ICR mice. Different doses of ALC were intragastrically administered to mice once a day, prior to radiation. After two weeks, the mice received a one-time 5 Gy whole body (60)Coγ radiation. The spleen index, thymus index, activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase...

Honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea), also known as "haskap" in Japan, is a shrub that produces edible berries and inhabits mountainous wetland areas with harsh environments. In this study, we surveyed the relationship between honeysuckle root endophytic fungi. Root samples were collected from wet land region Hokkaido, subjected to microscopic observation fungal strain isolation. Totally 47 strains ...

Abstract The status of many amphibian populations remains unclear due to undetected declines driven by disease and difficulties in obtaining accurate population estimates. Here, we used genome complexity reduction-based sequencing technology study the poorly understood Littlejohn’s treefrog , Litoria littlejohni across its fragmented distribution eastern Australia. We detected five identifiable...
