    Notes: Abstract: An existing method for measuring acetylcholine (ACh) and choline (Ch) is shown to be useful formeasuring the turnover rate of ACh in mouse brain. Methl-[3H]Ch is injected into mice. They are killed atdifferent times by microwave irradiation and Ch and AChextracted and separated by reverse-phase HPLC. Ch andACh are converted to hydrogen peroxide by a post-column enzyme reaction. Hydrogen peroxide, which isdirectly related to the tissue content of Ch or ACh, isdetermined electrochemically. The fractions that corre-spond to the detector response for Ch and ACh are col-lected for the measurement of radioactivity. In this wayspecific radioactivities of endogenous Ch and ACh areestimated in the same sample. We used the specific ra-dioactivity values determined by this procedure to esti-mate the turnover of ACh for striatum, cerebral cortex, and hippocampus of the mouse.

    Notes: Abstract Standard petrographic methods were used to study 604 modern sands from South America, of which 351 came from rivers and 253 from beaches. In spite of the wide geomorphic contrasts, these sands belong to only three great families: (1) an immature Andean family of lithic arenites rich in volcanic and metamorphic grains that covers about 30% of South America; (2) a cratonic association rich in quartz that covers about 62% of the continent; and (3) a transitional, molasse association, which occurs between these two and covers only about 8% of the continent. The grand arithmetic average Q:F: Rf ratio for the entire continent is 60:11:29 and the area-weighted, carbonate-free average Qa:Fa:Rfa is 68:10:22, a superior continental estimate, and the first ever for an entire continent. Rock fragments are the most informative of all the provenance indicators and in South America they range from tropical alterites of the cratonic family through the dominant volcanic and metamorphic grains of the Andean family to biogenic carbonate in beach sands. Carbonate grains are almost totally absent in modern South American rivers because of present day tropical weathering and a long geological evolution that has favored sand production. They are present in many of the beach sands, however, and are most abundant along the tropical Brazilian and Caribbean coasts. Metamorphic grains rival volcanics as earmarks of the Andean family and survive tropical weathering far better than volcanic grains. There is a strong association between continental soil types and the composition of river sand, but the ultimate controls are tectonic history — the ancient landscapes preserved on the Gondwana shields of South America versus the tectonically young landscapes of the Andes — and climate. Climate can either cause ‘leaks’ to a far distant ocean where weathering is retarded by aridity or it can serve as a barrier to continental sand dispersion, where tropical weathering eliminates unstable grains in transit to the sea. When provenance studies are conducted across an entire, unglaciated continent, events in the far distant past need to be considered when seeking fundamental explanations of its contemporary, surficial sands.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le gigantesque système aquifère de Mercosul est constitué de grès du Trias et du Jurassique d'origine éolienne et fluvio-lacustre, recouverts par des coulées basaltiques du Crétacé; il couvre environ 1,195,500 km2 en Amérique du Sud. Ce système aquifère occupe la totalité du bassin du Parana et une partie de celui du Chaco-Parana ; c'est l'un des plus étendus au monde. Les grès éoliens de Botucatu et leur équivalent forment une grande partie de ce système. Des cartes de la structure et de l'épaisseur de la couverture et de la température de l'eau et une carte piézométrique, basées sur 322 puits, définissent les caractéristiques hydrogéologiques et fournissent les bases nécessaires à l'établissement des recommandations pour une utilisation garantissant un équilibre durable de cet important système aquifère international. Le système aquifère de Mercosul est divisé en deux domaines, celui du bassin du Parana, le plus étendu et le mieux connu, et celui du Chaco-Parana. Presque tout le nord du bassin du Parana est soumis à un écoulement souterrain orienté selon son axe, tandis que la partie sud de cet aquifère s'écoule surtout vers le sud-ouest dans la province de Corrientes en Argentine, avec un écoulement négligeable vers l'Océan Atlantique. On estime que le système aquifère de Mercosul a été vidangé au moins 180 fois depuis son origine. Différents facteurs sont responsables de ces vidanges, dont des précipitations notables depuis la fin du Crétacé, le soulèvement probable des bordures du bassin au Crétacé supérieur, la géométrie simple du bassin, les écoulements à long terme des rivières et des eaux souterraines vers le sud-ouest (les systèmes du fleuve Parana anciens et actuel) et la situation stable du craton. Les propriétés hydrauliques essentielles du système aquifère de Mercosul sont comparées à celles du système de Navajo-Nugget, établi dans les formations éoliennes jurassiques de l'ouest des États-Unis. Les résultats montrent l'importance de la tectonique et du climat sur l'évolution de systèmes aquifères à l'échelle subcontinentale.
    Abstract: Resumen El sistema acuífero Mercosul está formado por areniscas eólico-fluviolacustres del Triásico-Jurásico, confinadas por flujos basálticos del Cretácico. Este gigantesco acuífero sudamericano cubre una extensión de 1,195,500 km2. El sistema comprende toda la Cuenca del Paraná y parte de la de Chaco-Paraná y es uno de los mayores del mundo. Las areniscas eólicas de Botucatú forman una parte importante del sistema. A partir de información en 322 pozos se han podido trazar mapas de espesor, estructura, potencia de la capa confinante, temperatura del agua, así como una piezometría. Estos mapas proporcionan una base para establecer la gestión sostenible del acuífero. El acuífero Mercosul se divide en dos dominios: la Cuenca del Paraná, la mayor y más conocida, y la Cuenca de Chaco-Paraná, más pequeña y menos estudiada. El flujo en la parte norte de la Cuenca del Paraná es de tipo axial, mientras que en el sur la mayor parte de la descarga es hacia la Provincia de Corrientes, Argentina, con una pequeña descarga hacia el Océano Atlántico. El acuífero ha sido lavado por el agua subterránea un mínimo de 180 veces desde su deposición. Los factores responsables de este lavado incluyen el aumento de la pluviometría a partir de finales del Cretácico, la elevación de la cuenca por procesos tectónicos en el Cretácico Superior, la simplicidad geométrica, la persistencia de los flujos superficial y subterráneo en dirección sudoeste y la presencia de un área cratónica. Las principales propiedades hidráulicas del acuífero Mercosul se comparan con las del Sistema eólico Navajo-Nugget, en el oeste de los Estados Unidos de América, de edad Jurásica. Los resultados muestran la importancia de la tectónica y el clima en la evolución de los sistemas acuíferos subcontinentales.
    Notes: Abstract  The giant Mercosul aquifer system consists of Triassic-Jurassic eolian-fluvio-lacustrine sandstones confined by Cretaceous basalt flows, and it covers about 1,195,500 km2 (461,583 miles2) in South America. The aquifer system encompasses all of the Paraná Basin and part of the Chaco-Paraná Basin and is one of the world's largest. The eolian Botucatu Sandstone and its equivalents form an important part of this system. Maps of structure, thickness of overlying rocks, and water temperature, and a potentiometric map, all based on 322 wells, define hydrogeologic characteristics and provide the basis for establishing guidelines for the long-term equilibrium use of this important multinational aquifer system. The Mercosul aquifer system is divided into two domains – the larger and better understood Paraná Basin and the smaller and less well understood Chaco-Paraná Basin. Most of the northern part of the Paraná Basin has axially-directed groundwater flow, whereas the southern part of the aquifer discharges mostly to the southwest into the Corrientes Province of Argentina, with negligible discharge into the Atlantic Ocean. The Mercosul aquifer system is conservatively estimated to have been flushed at least 180 times since deposition. Various factors are responsible for this flushing, including appreciable rainfall since the end of the Cretaceous Period, probable uplift of the basins' borders in Late Cretaceous time, simple basin geometry, long-term riverine and groundwater flow to the southwest (ancestral and present Paraná River Systems), and stable cratonic setting. Key hydraulic properties of the Mercosul aquifer system are compared to those of the eolian Jurassic Navajo-Nugget System of the western United States. The results demonstrate the importance of tectonics and climate on the evolution of sub-continental aquifer systems.
