An equivalent layer magnetization model obtained from inversion of long wavelength satellite magnetic anomaly data indicates a very magnetic source region centered in south central Kentucky. The magnetization maximum nearly coincides with a gravity high elongated north-south and extending into Tennessee. Previous refraction profiles suggest that the source of the gravity anomaly is a large mass of rock occupying much of the crustal thickness. The outline of the source delineated by gravity contours is also discernible in aeromagnetic anomaly patterns. Taken together, the geophysical data suggest a large, localized mass of intracrustal rock which is both dense and very magnetic. A simple magnetization/density model is given which accounts for the gravity and long wavelength aeromagnetic anomalies due to the body. We interpret it as a mafic plutonic complex, and several lines of evidence are consistent with a rift association. The body is, however, clearly related to the inferred position of the Grenville Front. It is bounded on the north by the fault zones of the 38th Parallel Lineament. The inferred mean magnetization (4 A/m) of the body is large, but not inconsistent with values reported by others for deep crustal bodies associated with long wavelength magnetic anomalies. Such magnetization levels can be ach'eved with :magnetic mineralogies produced by normal oxidation and.metamorph°c processes and enhanced by viscous build-up, especially in mafic rocks of alkaline character.
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION TRANSFER: ISSUES AND OPTIONS
Abstract : In this study, we consider ways to more effectively transfer to potential users the knowledge produced by federally funded research in science and technology. Federal policymakers have been concerned that the information created through the billions of dollars spent annually by the federal government is not well utilized because of inadequacies in information transfer between the research and user communities. Recent literature suggests a number of problems contributing to this concern. First, the very low level of support for knowledge transfer in comparison to knowledge production suggests that dissemination efforts are not viewed as an important component of the R&D process. Second, there are mounting reports from users about difficulties in getting appropriate information in forms useful for problem-solving and decision-making. Third, rapid advances in many areas of science and technology (e.g., biotechnology, computer science) can be fully exploited only if they are quickly translated into further research and application. Such translation requires multidisciplinary, problem-focused communication of scientific information. Traditional transfer mechanisms do not provide that kind of communication. Finally, while the United States continues to be seen as dominant in basic research and development, concerns have arisen that foreign competitors may be better able to apply the results.
