Quarterly literature review of the remote sensing of natural resources
The Technology Application Center reviewed abstracted literature sources, and selected document data and data gathering techniques which were performed or obtained remotely from space, aircraft or groundbased stations. All of the documentation was related to remote sensing sensors or the remote sensing of the natural resources. Sensors were primarily those operating within the 10 to the minus 8 power to 1 meter wavelength band. Included are NASA Tech Briefs, ARAC Industrial Applications Reports, U.S. Navy Technical Reports, U.S. Patent reports, and other technical articles and reports
Literature review of the remote sensing of natural resources
Abstracts of 596 documents related to remote sensors or the remote sensing of natural resources by satellite, aircraft, or ground-based stations are presented. Topics covered include general theory, geology and hydrology, agriculture and forestry, marine sciences, urban land use, and instrumentation. Recent documents not yet cited in any of the seven information sources used for the compilation are summarized. An author/key word index is provided
Earth resources evaluation for New Mexico by LANDSAT-2
The author has identified the following significant results. The Middle Rio Grande project has not yet progressed to the point where mineral exploration sites can be chosen; however, there does appear to be some correlation between the known structure and mineral deposits and the LANDSAT lineament map. A circular feature identified in the southern Magdalena Mountains on LANDSAT-1 imagery agrees well with the location of a newly proposed caldron complex. Several recognized and unrecognized circular features were identified on imagery of the Mogollon-Datil volcanic field. A check of aeromagnetic maps for New Mexico found that the circular features on the LANDSAT imagery showed up as areas of generally high magnetic intensity

Disease management interventions for improving self-management in lower-limb peripheral arterial disease
The objective of this review is to systematically review, synthesise and quantify the effects of non-pharmacological and non-surgical chronic disease management interventions targeting self-management for people with lower-limb PAD
HST Observations of the Serendipitous X-ray Companion to Mrk 273: Cluster at z=0.46?
We have used HST I-band images to identify Mrk 273X, the very unusual
high-redshift X-ray-luminous Seyfert 2 galaxy found by ROSAT in the same
field-of-view as Mrk 273. We have measured the photometric properties of Mrk
273X and have also analyzed the luminosity distribution of the faint galaxy
population seen in the HST image. The luminosity of the galaxy and the
properties of the surrounding environment suggest that Mrk 273X is the
brightest galaxy in a relatively poor cluster at a redshift near 0.46. Its
off-center location in the cluster and the presence of other galaxy groupings
in the HST image may indicate that this is a dynamically young cluster on the
verge of merging with its neighboring clusters. We find that Mrk 273X is a
bright featureless elliptical galaxy with no evidence for a disk. It follows
the de Vaucouleurs (r^{1/4}) surface brightness law very well over a range of 8
magnitudes. Though the surface brightness profile does not appear to be
dominated by the AGN, the galaxy has very blue colors that do appear to be
produced by the AGN. Mrk 273X is most similar to the IC 5063 class of active
galaxies --- a hybrid Sy 2 / powerful radio galaxy.Comment: Accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal. 8 pages,

Isotopic evidence for iron mobility during subduction
Subduction zones are one of the most important sites of chemical interchange between the Earth's surface and interior. One means of explaining the high Fe3+/ΣFe ratios and oxidized nature of primary arc magmas is the transfer of sulfate (SOX), carbonate (CO3 -), and/or iron (Fe3+) bearing fluids from the slab to the overlying mantle. Iron mobility and Fe stable isotope fractionation in fluids are influenced by Fe redox state and the presence of chlorine and/or sulfur anions. Here we use Fe stable isotopes (δ56Fe) as a tracer of iron mobility in serpentinites from Western Alps metaophiolites, which represent remnants of oceanic lithosphere that have undergone subduction-related metamorphism and devolatilization. A negative correlation (R2 = 0.72) is observed between serpentinite bulk δ56Fe and Fe3+/ΣFe that provides the first direct evidence for the release of Fe-bearing fluids during serpentinite devolatilization in subduction zones. The progressive loss of isotopically light Fe from the slab with increasing degree of prograde metamorphism is consistent with the release of sulfate-rich and/or hypersaline fluids, which preferentially complex isotopically light Fe in the form of Fe(II)-SOX or Fe(II)- Cl2 species. Fe isotopes can therefore be used as a tracer of the nature of slab-derived fluids. © 2016 Geological Society of America
