the transfer of information particularly difficult. A project that works on American Samoa might be appropriate for Yap, but to get this information to the proper people on Yap in a reasonable period of time is extremely difficult. This book describes 100 alternative ergy projects that have been tried on the islands since the mid-1970's. This description and record of what has been done to date should be a source of ideas for energy workers, reduce duplication of work, and help encourage successes by describing other successes and failures. Alternative energy projects are projects that use indigenous, renewable resources in order to reduce local dependency on imported petroleum for electricity or liquid fuels. The islands have an apparent abundance of natural resources for this purpose such as the sun, rivers, vegetation, the ocean, and wind; and, ideally, it should be relatively simple to convert these resources to electricity or fuel. However, there are problems unique to the remote, tropical Pacific that often appear insurmountable, and successes to date are the results of unusual such as biomass conversion, persistence, hard work, and ingenuity of those on the islands. Projects are confined to those that actually develop or demonstrate hardware. These projects use the complete spectrum of alternative technologies wind electric, photovoltaics, wind water pumping, and integrated systems. 381 refs., solar water heating, hydroelectric, 85 figs. water desalination, Major Descriptors: *BIOGAS PROCESS -- DEMONSTRATION PROGRAMS; *BIOMASS -DEMONSTRATION PROGRAMS; *HYDROELECTRIC POWER -- DEMONSTRATION PROGRAMS; *RENEWABLE RESOURCES -- DEMONSTRATION PROGRAMS; *SOLAR ENERGY --~DEMONSTRATION PROGRAMS; *WIND TURBINES -- DEMONSTRATION PROGRAMS Descriptors: AMERICAN SAMOA; BIOMASS PLANTATIONS; CHARCOAL; GRANTS; GUAM; MARTANA ISLANDS; MARSHALL ISLANDS; MICRONESIA; PALAU; PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SUPPLIES; SOLAR CELL ARRAYS; SOLAR WATER HEATING; TRUST TERRITORY OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS; WIND POWER; WIND-POWERED PUMPS Broader Terms: ADSORBENTS; ALLOYS; ANAEROBIC DIGESTION; BIOCONVERSION; DEVELOPED COUNTRIES; DIGESTION; ELECTRIC POWER; ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT; ENERGY; ENERGY SOURCES; EQUIPMENT; GOLD ALLOYS; GOLD BASE ALLOYS; HEATING; ISLANDS; MACHINERY; MANAGEMENT; MARIANA ISLANDS; MICRONESIA; NORTH AMERICA; OCEANIA; PALLADIUM ALLOYS; PLATINUM METAL ALLOYS; POWER; POWER SUPPLIES; PROCESSING; PUMPS; RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES; RESOURCES; SOLAR EQUIPMENT; SOLAR HEATING; TRUST TERRITORY OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS; TURBINES; TURBOMACHINERY; USA; WASTE MANAGEMENT; WASTE PROCESSING; WATER HEATING Subject Categories: 299000* -- Energy Planning & Policy -- Unconventional Sources & Power Generation 290400 -- Energy Planning & Policy -- Energy Resources 10/5/344 (Item 44 from file: 103) 03192468 EDB-91-119904 Title: Clinal morphological variation along a depth gradient in the living scleractinian reef coral Favia pallida: Effects on perceived Pachut, Source: Cuffey, J.F.

An exposed outer reef was massive and wall-like, whereas a sheltered lagoonal reef grew as a slender pinnacle. Corallite diameter and growth rate, two attributes retrievable in fossil corals, were measured with data partitioned into
