Eduard Frey-Stauffer (1888-1974)

Después de breve y grave enfermedad ha muerto en Lagenthal, Suiza, el gran liquenólogo helvético Dr. E. Frey. A lo largo de su dilatada vida trabajó en el campo de la taxonomía de los liqúenes (monografía de Cladoniáceas y Umbilicariáceas en la Rabenhorst's Kryptogamenflora, 1933), y en los de la florística y de la fitosociología de los liqúenes, campo este último en el que debe considerársele pionero en la aplicación de la metodología sigmatista al estudio de las comunidades de liqúenes de los Alpes Suizos.

Bridge Deck Waterproofing Membrane Study, R-262, 1974

One of the main problems of bridge maintenance in Iowa is the spalling and scaling of the decks. This problem stems from the continued use of deicing salts during the winter months. Since bridges will frost or freeze more often than roadways, the use of deicing salts on bridges is more frequent. The salt which is spread onto the bridge dissolves in water and permeates into the concrete deck. When the salt reaches the depth of the reinforcing steel and the concentration at that depth reaches the threshold concentration for corrosion (1.5 lbs./yd. 3 ), the steel will begin to oxidize. The oxidizing steel must then expand within the concrete. This expansion eventually forces undersurface fractures and spalls in the concrete. The spalling increases maintenance problems on bridges and in some cases has forced resurfacing after only a few years of service. There are two possible solutions to this problem. One solution is discontinuing the use of salts as the deicing agent on bridges and the other is preventing the salt from reaching or attacking the reinforcing steel. This report deals with one method which stops the salt from reaching the reinforcing steel. The method utilizes a waterproof membrane on the surface of a bridge deck. The waterproof membrane stops the water-salt solution from entering the concrete so the salt cannot reach the reinforcing steel.

Natural resources : final report to the Governor's Conference on Iowa in the Year 2000, 1974

Includes discussion and findings by a key note speaker at Natural Resources Task Force Workshop on trends to do with Iowa's natural resources such as urban and rural development on agricultural land, cultivation, farm ownership, air quality, disposing of solid waste and the recreational needs and the possibility of creating new agencies to deal with natural resources planning and regulation.

Current Population Reports Series P-26, Federal-State cooperative program for population estimates, July 1974

T his report presents population estimates for July 1, 1972 and provisional estimates for July 1, 1973, for counties and metropolitan areas prepared under the auspices of the Federal State Cooperative Program for Local Population Estimates. The objective of this program. is the development and publication of State - prepared estimates of the population of counties using uniform procedures largely standardized for data input and methodology. The methods used have been mutually agreed upon by the individual States and the Bureau of the Census on the basis of a test of methods against the 1970 census. For a more detailed description of the program.

Survey No. 1, Fibrous Concrete Resurfacing Greene County, Iowa, HR-165, 1974

The three miles of fibrous concrete resurfacing in Greene County, Iowa were placed in September and early October, 1973. It was recognized in advance that cracking and other performance characteristics of the fibrous concrete sections and of the central sections would be major factors in the evaluation of the project. A low level aerial survey was made of the old pavement. During construction of the resurfacing, the aerial survey was checked to insure that cracks in the old pavement were referenced to the 100 ft. station marks placed in the resurfacing. The crack survey recorded herein was made in March and April, 1974. Those cracks in the resurfacing that are reflections of cracks in the underlying slab are identified by /\ marks. Observations (not detailed crack surveys) made in June, 1974 indicate that further cracking of the resurfacing has occurred since this report was prepared. In particular, there appears to be same additional longitudinal cracking over the widening joints.

A preliminary study of dredging programs, benefits, costs, and effects for eight Iowa lakes, 1974

This report is a study of the costs, benefits and impacts of dredging programs for eight Iowa Lakes: Backbone Lake, Black Hawk Lake, Blue Lake, Five Island Lake, Lake Manawa, Mill Creek Lake, Rock Lake and Silver Lake. The studies were done by Economics Research Associates (ERA) and Engineering Consultants, Inc. (ECI) and was commissioned by the Iowa General Assembly to assist in determining public policy with respect to the dredging of the subject lakes.
