Flying above the Santa Susana mountains north of the epicenter of last week's Southern California earthquake, a team of LBL/UC Berkeley earth scientists located extensive surface fractures that developed along the range's ridges. The cracks, which measured as much as a foot wide and hundreds of feet in length, give geologists important clues about the little known fault that caused the 6.7 magnitude quake, according to the Earth Sciences Division's Pat Williams, who led the team. Williams suspects the fractures may also have contributed to the freeway damage on the highways bordering the mountain range: Highway 14 collapsed onto Interstate 5 on the eastern edge of the Santa Susana range; a major bridge along Interstate 5 also collapsed within the range; and the damaged Simi Valley-San Fernando freeway is on the southern edge of the range. Cal Trans is incorporating the geological data from the fly-over into their post-quake freeway studies. The Jan. 19 geological flight was a cooperative effort that involved researchers from several institutions, including Williams, Barbara Romanowicz of the UCB Seismographic Station, and Jack Moehle of the UCB Earthquake Engineering Research Center. Using seismic measurements of the quake recorded at UCB and Caltech, the scientists first pinpointed a 5 km by 20 km area most likely to show new surface features. The team then zig-zagged over the area in a helicopter volunteered by the U.S. Coast Guard. Considering that Monday's quake involved what Williams called a "shortening" of the earth's crust as faults squeezed together, the cracks came as somewhat of a surprise. "The cracks make it appear that the mountains have been pulled apart," Williams said. He said the cracking most likely resulted from rumpling of the earth's crust as it was pushed together, much like a fold in a carpet, with the fractures occurring across the rumple's surface. The findings support the theory that the quake occurred on account of slippage of a poorly known part of the Oak Ridge fault system. The fault that caused the jolt, runs 14 km beneath the San Fernando Valley and projects to the surface at the Santa Susana Mountains, where the cracks were found. Williams says fault movement at the epicenter was rather coherent, meaning the two slabs of earth slid smoothly against one another like two blocks of balsa wood. The fault's movement closer to the surface, however, was less coherent, producing folding and complex faulting of the Santa Susana Mountains. Such actions combined to shatter the mountain range's surface rocks, Williams said, causing the surface fractures. *********************************************************************
William Spencer, president and chief executive officer of Sematech, in Austin, Texas, will be the inagural speaker in LBL's newest lecture series: Science and Technology in a Competitive World. Spencer's talk is scheduled for noon on Friday, Feb. 11, in the Bldg. 50 auditorium. The new series, which is supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, is a collaborative effort with the UC Berkeley campus to bring to LBL national and international scientists and policy makers to provide varying perspectives on the global competitive challenges facing our nation. The series will bring speakers to LBL approximately every month through May, and will then resume in the fall. Spencer has been president of Sematech since October 1990. Sematech is a research and development consortium jointly funded by semiconductor industry member companies and the U.S. government, established to solve the technical challenges required to keep the U.S. at the top of the global semiconductor industry. Before joining Sematech, Spencer was group vice president and senior technical officer at Xerox Corp. in Stamford, Conn. He has also served as vice president of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, director of systems development at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, and director of microelectronics at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque. Spencer received his M.S. degree in mathematics and Ph.D. degree in physics from Kansas State University. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of IEEE, and serves on numerous advisory groups and boards. ***********************************************************************
The Guidelines for Generators of Hazardous and Radioactive Waste (PUB-3092), the document that describes waste handling policies and requirements, has been updated to reflect the many recent regulatory changes. The new guide--PUB-3092, Revision 3--is currently being mailed to all generators who are listed on the EH&S Training database as having completed hazardous and/or radioactive/mixed waste generator training. The new Guidelines sports a bright yellow-orange cover, so you will not be able to get the new version mixed up with the old version, which was light blue. When you receive your new version, please recycle the old version. Not only is the information more accurate and useful in the new version, but auditors will be instructed to look for that yellow-orange cover to ensure that your guidance materials are up to date. As part of the Guidelines update, the Hazardous Waste Disposal Requisition has been redesigned; the new form will be implemented this month. This new requisition form with instructions is included as Appendix A of the new Guidelines. One more change that has been made recently is the new empty container policy. This new policy allows disposal of certain empty chemical containers as non-hazardous waste. Details of the policy can be found in Safety News Bulletin Number 304, available from your division safety coordinator. Don't forget that all generators of hazardous, radioactive, and/or mixed waste must be retrained annually. When your training records show that it is approaching a year since your last training, you must watch the training video and re-take the exam. If you were sent an exam this past Spring, and you returned it, you have credit for retraining as of September 1993, and do not need retraining until September 1994 . You may arrange for the training by contacting your division representative. ************************************************************************
Environmental Health and Safety Training is now offering a course to help supervisors better understand their health and safety responsibilities. "EH&S Roles and Responsibilities for Supervisors" (EHS-25), taught by Mona Bernstein and other EH&S staff, emphasizes skill development so supervisors can become role models for their employees. Given over the course of two mornings, one week apart, information includes clarification of responsibilities to protect employees and the environment, legal liability, communication strategies, accident investigation, hazard control case studies, and resources. The class is built around problem-solving exercises based on LBL experience. Separate tracks of the course are given for researchers in labs, shop supervisors, and supervisors in office environments. Each track is offered quarterly or special classes can be scheduled for your division (contact Mona Bernstein at X5258 to make arrangements). Please call X6612 to register; the next class is for researchers and is scheduled for February 3 and 10. ************************************************************************

(Editor's Note: This is the second in an occasional series of informational features on the metric system, and metrication at the Lab.) The concept for the metric system can be traced to a proposal advanced in 1670 by one Gabriel Mouton, a clergyman living in Lyons, France. Mouton sought to standardize the chaos of competing weights and measures existing within that country. Under the Ancien Regime, each French province maintained its own set of standards, which varied widely from one province to the next. The foot as defined in Paris, for instance, was 11 percent longer than that of Strasbourg, but 10 percent shorter than that used in Bordeaux. The inconsistencies within the measures for weights and volumes was even greater. To replace this metrical tower of Babel, Mouton proposed a system of decimal units based on a measurement of the earth. After more than a century of debate, during which the new system was championed by many of the French philosophes, Mouton's proposal was codified and enacted into law during the French Revolution. System of Units (SI), published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), are available from metric coordinator Curtis Nunnally, Bldg. 90-2148; X5966. ************************************************************************
With the recent earthquake in Southern California so vividly in our thoughts, this is a particularly good time to motivate yourself to prepare for the unexpected. One way to ready your home for disaster without spending lots of money on new equipment is to make accessible the supplies you already have--for instance, camping supplies you may already have. A supply of freeze-dried backpacking foods can serve as a tasty supplement to the week or two of canned goods that should be kept in storage. The same first-aid kit you take up to the mountains should also be kept stocked and ready for an emergency. Lanterns, flashlights, and a supply of matches can help during power outages. Remember to store gas and kerosene in properly sealed containers kept away from direct sunlight, electricity, or extreme heat. Not a part of your regular camping gear, but a wise item to keep with to them, is a large plastic drum of fresh water, in case of loss of water supply. The ability to "camp at home" during disasters can make a difficult time less stressful for all family members.

Molly Lawrence, widow of LBL founder Ernest O. Lawrence, received a tour of the Advanced Light Source on Monday, Jan. 24, from ALS Director Brian Kincaid and LBL Director Charles Shank. The ALS sits beneath the dome that once housed her late husband's 184-Inch Cyclotron. Mrs. Lawrence, who has training in the life sciences, said she was particularly amazed with the variety of the projects being pursued at the new facility. "It's fascinating how many scientific fields come together with projects like the ALS," she said. "It seems now you can't practice one field without having a background in so many others." ***********************************************************************

Did you know that friends are good for your health? People who value power over friendship may have a harder time fighting off disease and get sick more often, new research suggests. But having supportive friendships can boost immune function and help fight disease--even under stress. Studies by Princeton University psychologist John B. Jemmott III add to growing evidence that personality can affect ability to fight illness. He looked at immune function at times of high and low stress for 257 men and women. Some valued relationships and socializing; others were strongly power-driven: assertive, competitive, focused on collecting status symbols or promotions. Among key findings: During high-stress periods, those with lots of friendships had significantly higher levels of IgA, the part of the immune system that helps fight infection, particularly upper respiratory infections.
A possible explanation: power-driven personalities produce more adrenaline, which suppresses immune function. Of course, whether you would get sick because of immune weakness depends on other factors too, Jemmott says, "like whether you were exposed to germs, and the amount of exposure." ************************************************************************
By Mike Wooldridge It used to be a daunting task to fill job openings at LBL, where resumes pour in at a rate of 100 a day--more when each semester ends. Just ask anyone in the Human Resources Department's Staffing Unit. We're faced with a pretty big stack of resumes after we list a vacancy," says systems coordinator Steve Blechman. "After going through the first 10 or 20 by hand, your eyes tend to glaze over." Fortunately, technology has caught up with this tedious task in the form of Resumix, a resume-reading and imaging computer system developed by Resumix, Inc. of Santa Clara. Blechman likes to think of it as the Human Resources department's equivalent to the Advanced Light Source. Installed in Fall 1992, the system scans every resume that arrives at LBL. It quickly organizes names, addresses, degrees, work experience, and the like into a database, and helps pinpoint candidates by interpreting job skills. To date, says staffing manager Marina Gonzalez, more than 16,000 resumes have been fed into the system, saving the Lab hundreds of hours in data-entry time. The system benefits potential employees as well. Job applicants need only submit one resume, no matter how many jobs are being applied for. Once the resume is in the system, the applicant is automatically considered for every job. Resumix also shortens the time it takes to process and respond to job seekers--the department now sends acknowledgment letters within a day of receipt of the resume and can respond to applicant inquiries quickly by accessing the scanned resumes, and their status, electronically. With more and more companies--Apple Computer, IBM, AT&T, as well as LBL-- turning to computers to process resumes, job applicants are having to focus less on appearance and more on vocabulary. Computers aren't impressed by fancy fonts or expensive paper. Systems such as Resumix are also changing how the hiring side works, as organizations learn to systematically define job descriptions for the computer with a limited amount of key words. To foster cooperation on such matters, Resumix project manager Steve Blechman recently organized a Resumix "Grammar Summit" at LBL. The conference brought Resumix users from Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia national labs, UC campuses, and private industry together with Resumix developers to discuss improvements to the system's grammar and skills libraries. Such summits will help designers update Resumix so it can play a greater role in helping fill scientific as well as administrative and technical positions. "The summit was the first of its kind," Blechman says. "It was a great opportunity to share experiences with other users of the system and to collaborate on strategies to make this system work better for everyone." For LBL Employees who do not have a prepared resume, the Human Resources department Staffing Unit has developed a scannable Employee Resume form. The form can be picked up from the Staffing Office in the Promenade Building (1936 University Ave.) or at the Reception Center in Building 65. Resumix will be demonstrated at the Promenade Building Open House, scheduled for 2:30-4:30 p.m, Monday, Jan. 31. The Promenade Building is located at 1936 University Ave. The system works by using optical character recognition (OCR) software to convert the resume into standard ASCII text. Resumix then extracts the information and places it into a structured database. The difficult part--and the part at which Resumix excels--is deciphering specific job skills. More than just a key-word search, Resumix's artificial intelligence understands many different descriptions of skills, recognizing them in context. It also recognizes abbreviations and slight misspellings. Resumix can then select, from the entire pool of resumes in the system, all the candidates whose qualifications match the list of job requirements submitted by the hiring department. By taking over a task that once required hours of manual processing, Resumix is allowing HR staff to spend more time working with applicants who are best qualified for the available jobs. "We typically find that 80 percent of the people who respond to a listing simply do not meet the job requirements," Blechman says. "Before Resumix, much of our time was spent dealing with them rather than with the qualified people." The system is also giving LBL a competitive advantage in the job market. LBL recruitment coordinator Roberta Boucher recently attended ' a job fair at the Superconducting Super Collider in Texas. "Resumix gave us the opportunity to review and respond to the thousand or so applicants within a week," she says. "This is crucial in an environment where talented people get snatched up by competitive companies very quickly." The use of Resumix also promises to foster better communications between Human Resources and departments seeking to fill jobs, says Gonzalez. Resumix gives us an opportunity to create a more complete partnership with our clients. We can help them define their selection criteria for jobs more clearly, and they can help us gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the work that goes on here at the Lab." ***********************************************************************
