History Of

The North Coles Levee oil field was discovered in November 1938. The location for the discovery well was based on data obtained from a reflection seismograph survey run early in the same year. A contour map, based on these reflection data, was prepared after several months of geophysical field work and interpretation. This map outlined the structure with reasonable accuracy as shown by comparing it with the present subsurface contour map constructed from electric‐log correlations in over one hundred wells which have been drilled in the field as of December 1946.

SummaryThe excavations were undertaken by the Silchester Excavation Committee supported by donations from public and private bodies and from individuals and by permission of the Duke of Wellington, K.G., F.S.A. Their purpose was the investigation of (a) a previously unsuspected polygonal enclosure of about 85 acres, here named the Inner Earthwork, which lay partly inside and partly outside the line of the familiar Roman town wall; and (b) a western extension to the known line of the Outer Earthwork, which increased the size of this enclosure from about 213 to 233 acres. With the assistance of the Ordnance Survey, the aerial traces of these earthworks, first observed and recorded by Dr. J. K. St. Joseph, F.S.A., were confirmed and extended by field-work and excavation, and have been planned as appears on pl. I.The excavations showed that the Inner Earthwork was a defence of Gaulish ‘Fécamp’ type, and that it was erected, on the south, over an area of late pre-Roman occupation, the first clearly identified at Calleva Atrebatum, but one with strong ‘Catuvellaunian’ influences in its pottery-series. It is claimed that the Inner Earthwork was constructed by the client King Cogidubnus in or shortly after A.D. 43–4, as the defence of this, the most important settlement in the north-west of his dominions. It is further suggested that the Inner Earthwork was replaced by the Outer Earthwork also during the reign of Cogidubnus.The excursus attempts to collate with the results of excavation the earlier discoveries of pre-Conquest material. The total evidence is finally related to the Belgico-Roman topography of Silchester and its neighbourhood, within the historical framework of the century and a half which separated the arrival of the earliest Belgic immigrants in the region from the death of Cogidubnus and the consequent emergence of the Roman Civitas Atrebatum.

Wild Goose

The discovery well of the Wild Goose gas field was drilled and completed in 1951 on a structure located by a reflection seismograph survey conducted in 1950. An additional seismograph survey was made subsequent to discovery to define the structure better for further development. The illustrations include two seismic cross sections, a contour map based on the original seismic reflection data, an aeromagnetic map, a structure contour map, and an electric log of the discovery well. The producing sands are in an interval between the Forbes shale of Upper Cretaceous age and the overlying Capay shale of Eocene age.

Differential Uplift

The surficial glacial features and glacial events of a 13 000 square mile area in northern Ontario are described, based on field work and study of aerial photographs. Ice-laid and glaciolacustrine materials suggest a complex history of stationary ice fronts and glacial lakes during deglaciation. Lakes in the Lake Nipigon and Lake Superior basins inundated large areas. Post-Minong lake stages in the Superior basin intruded far to the north, dammed by ice at the largest moraine, the Nakina. The northern part of this lake was later separated from the post-Minong lake by differential uplift and was named Lake Nakina. After the withdrawal of the ice, Glacial Lake Barlow–Ojibway occupied the northeastern part of the area, and much of it was later overridden by the last glacial readvance. Stratigraphic correlations with radiocarbon dates suggest that the Nakina moraine was built some 9 400 years ago, and that the last glacier ice disappeared before 6 390 years ago.

The Ten Section oil field, generally regarded as the first geophysical oil field discovery in the San Joaquin Valley of California, was found by Shell Oil Company, Incorporated by means of a reflection seismograph survey made in 1934–1935. The discovery well, Shell Oil Company, Incorporated’s K. C. L.-Stevens A-1, was completed in June, 1936. A map presenting results of reflection shooting before discovery and one from well data with contours on the top of the productive Upper Miocene “Stevens” sand are shown.

Notes on the late Cenozoic history of the Washington Land area,western North Greenland. GEUS Bulletin, 186, 29-34. https://doi.org/10.34194/ggub.v186.5212 _______________ Information on Late Tertiary and Quaternary deposits in the Washington Land area is extremely limited. This is perhaps surprising since, as a central part of Nares Strait separating Greenland and Canada, the Washington Land area is crucial to the understanding of the much debated Late Quaternary history of the region. Three shell samples, two wood samples and a peat sample, collected in the mid 1970s, have been radiocarbon dated and discussed by Weidick (1977, 1978), Jepsen (1982), Blake (1987) and Bennike & Jepsen (in press); wood samples collected in 1997 were described by Bennike (1998). Much more information is available from Inglefield Land to the south, and Hall Land to the north (Nichols 1969; Dawes 1987; Blake et al. 1992; Kelly & Bennike 1992). Thus, when the opportunity to carry out field work in the Washington Land area arose in connection with the project Kane Basin 1999 (see Dawes 2000a, this volume), the chance was taken to attempt to fill this knowledge gap. The main aim was to locate the source of the wood – hopefully within a sedimentary sequence. In addition, observations and sampling of Quaternary deposits and landforms were planned. However, since the source of the wood proved impossible to locate, more time was spent on Quaternary deposits than originally expected.

The present notes are a short account of work of a preliminary nature on the Coast of Kenya Colony, mostly between August 1920 and February 1921, at the end of a tour of service, and may serve to indicate some of the chief points calling for investigation. They are concerned with the life-history of the insect and with some field observations. The life-history work was carried out in tents shaded by a large mango tree, on land kindly lent by Sheik Ali bin Salim, on the north side of Mombasa Island. The field work was done on the island and on the neighbouring mainland. For records of the numbers of beetles captured on European plantations I am indebted to three gentlemen owning or managing them.

Ras a1 Khaimah is the most northerly of the seven states comprising the United Arab Emirates and its Ruler, H. H. Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qasimi, is keenly interested in the history of the state and its people. Survey carried out there jointly with Dr D. B. Doe in 1968 had focused attention on the site of JuIfar which lies just north of the present town of Ras a1 Khaimah (de Cardi, 1971, 230-2). Julfar was in existence in Abbasid times and its importance as an entrep6t during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-the Portuguese Period-is reflected by the quantity and variety of imported wares to be found among the ruins of the city. Most of the sites discovered during the survey dated from that period but a group of cairns near Ghalilah and some long gabled graves in the Shimal area to the north-east of the date-groves behind Ras a1 Khaimah (map, FIG. I) clearly represented a more distant past.

Genetic variety examination has demonstrated fundamental to the understanding of the epidemiological and developmental history of Papillomavirus (HPV), for the development of accurate diagnostic tests and for efficient vaccine design. The HPV nucleotide diversity has been investigated widely among high-risk HPV types. To make the nucleotide sequence of HPV and do the virus database in Thi-Qar province, and compare sequences of our isolates with previously described isolates from around the world and then draw its phylogenetic tree, this study done. A total of 6 breast formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) of the female patients were included in the study, divided as 4 FFPE malignant tumor and 2 FFPE of benign tumor. The PCR technique was implemented to detect the presence of HPV in breast tissue, and the real-time PCR used to determinant HPV genotypes, then determined a complete nucleotide sequence of HPV of L1 capsid gene, and draw its phylogenetic tree. The nucleotide sequencing finding detects a number of substitution mutation (SNPs) in (L1) gene, which have not been designated before, were identified once in this study population, and revealed that the HPV16 strains have the evolutionary relationship with the South African race, while, the HPV33 and HPV6 showing the evolutionary association with the North American and East Asian race, respectively.
