Gas-liquid chromatographic determination of 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol residues in fish
J. L. Allen, J.B. Sills
1974, Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (57) 387-388
A procedure for the determination of 3-trifluormethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) in fish tissues is described. Homogenized tissues are extracted with hexane-ethyl ether; the extract is cleaned up by partitioning the TFM from the extracting solvent into 0.1N NaOH, acidifying the aqueous solution, and partitioning again with hexaneethyl ether. The TFM is methylated with...
Habitat management considerations for prairie chickens
L.M. Kirsch
1974, Wildlife Society Bulletin (2) 124-129
Lack of nesting and brood rearing habitat appears to be the universal limiting factor for prairie chickens (Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) throughout their range. Grasslands are essential to prairie chickens, but vary widely in quality and thus in their ability to support prairie chickens. High-quality habitat is grassland providing residual vegetation...
Geophysical evidence for the intersection of the St Paul, Cape Palmas and Grand Cess fracture zones with the continental margin of Liberia, West Africa
John C. Behrendt, J. Schlee, James M. Robb
1974, Nature (248) 324-326
PUBLISHED reconstructions of Gondwana continent1 (Fig. la) show a gap in fit near the junction of the Americas and Africa. To study this critical area, the Unitedgeo I made geophysical measurements and collected rock samples across the continental margin of Liberia (USGS-IDOE cruise leg 5) in November...
A solvent extraction study of molybdenum chloride and molybdenum thiocyanate complexes
L. P. Greenland, E.G. Lillie
1974, Analytica Chimica Acta (69) 335-346
The effect of reducing agents on molybdenum(VI) solutions in hydrochloric acid was studied by a solvent extraction technique to elucidate the composition of the colored molybdenum thiocyanate complex. Neither copper(I) chloride nor ascorbic acid have any effect on the extraction of MoO2Cl2; it is inferred...
Naturally occurring vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) Whisker growth of germanium sulfide
R. B. Finkelman, R.R. Larson, E.J. Dwornik
1974, Journal of Crystal Growth (22) 159-160
The first naturally occurring terrestrial example of vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth has been observed in condensates from gases released by burning coal in culm banks. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive analysis indicate that the crystals consist of elongated rods (≈ 100...
Martian volcanism: Additional observations and evidence for pyroclastic activity
M. West
1974, Icarus (21) 1-11
Inspection of the Mariner 9 B-camera (resolution 100–200m) and A-camera (resolution 1–2km) photographs of Mars reveals numerous analogs of terrestrial and lunar volcanic features. In addition to the exceptionally large constructional features in the Tharsis region, many other large and small landforms present...
40Ar/39Ar age spectra of some undisturbed terrestrial samples
G. Brent Dalrymple, M. A. Lanphere
1974, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (38) 715-738
40Ar/39Ar age spectra and 40Ar/36Ar vs 39Ar/36Ar isochrons were determined by incremental heating for 11 terrestrial rocks and minerals whose geology indicates that they represent essentially undisturbed systems. The samples include muscovite, biotite, hornblende, sanidine, plagioclase, dacite, diabase and basalt and range in age from...
A probe for sampling interstitial waters of stream sediments and bog soils
G.A. Nowlan, C. Carollo
1974, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (3) 199-205
A probe for sampling interstitial waters of stream sediments and bog soils is described. Samples can be obtained within a stratigraphic interval of 2–3 cm, to a depth of 60–80 cm, and with little or no contamination of the samples by sediment or...
Problems encountered in the use of neutron methods for elemental analysis on planetary surfaces
F. Senftle, P. Philbin, R. Moxham, G. Boynton, J. Trombka
1974, Nuclear Instruments and Methods (117) 435-443
From experimental studies of gamma rays from fast and thermal neutron reactions in hydrogeneous and non-hydrogeneous, semi-infinite samples and from Monte Carlo calculations on soil of a composition which might typically be encountered on planetary surfaces, it is found that gamma rays from...
Reference samples for the earth sciences
F.J. Flanagan
1974, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (38) 1731-1744
A revised list of reference samples of interest to geoscientists has been extended to include samples for the agronomist, the archaeologist and the environmentalist. In addition to the source from which standard samples may be obtained, references or pertinent notes for some samples are included.The number of rock reference samples...
Progress report on flood magnitude and frequency of Vermont streams
Carl G. Johnson, Gary D. Tasker
1974, Open-File Report 74-130
A technique is presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods on streams in Vermont with drainage areas between 0.27 and 1,040 square miles. Multiple-regression techniques are used to define the relation between flood peaks, collected at a network of gaging stations maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey, and...
Argillization by descending acid at Steamboat Springs, Nevada
Robert Schoen, Donald E. White, J.J. Hemley
1974, Clays and Clay Minerals (22) 1-22
Steamboat Springs, Nevada, an area of present-day hot springs, clearly illustrates the genetic dependence of some kaolin deposits on hot-spring activity. Andesite, granodiorite and arkosic sediments are locally altered at the land surface to siliceous residues consisting of primary quartz and anatase, plus opal from primary silicates. These siliceous residues...
Interlamellar adsorption of carbon dioxide by smectites
J.J. Fripiat, M.I. Cruz, B.F. Bohor, J. Thomas Jr.
1974, Clays and Clay Minerals (22) 23-30
The adsorption of CO2 at low temperature (∼ −70°C) on thin films of homoionic smectites was studied by X-ray diffraction and by i.r. absorption. An increase in the d001 spacings of these clay films upon adsorption of CO2 was observed. In addition, a dichroic effect was readily discernible by comparing the i.r. spectra at...
Hydrologic data for Pin Oak Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1972
B.B. Hampton
1974, Report
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found a...
Earthquakes, January-February 1974
W. J. Person
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 18-19
During the first 2 months of 1974, earthquakes caused fatalities in Peru and Turkey. The largest earthquake during the period was a magnitude 7.2 shock in the New Hebrides Islands. A local tsunami was generated by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake in the Solomon Islands. The relative quiet that characterized world...
Earthquakes, November-December 1973
W. J. Person
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 26-27
A number of significant earthquakes happened  during the last 2 months of 1973. Two major earthquakes (magnitude 7.0-7.9) occurred in the New Hebrides Islands, bringing the final major earthquake total for the year to 11, somewhat below the annual average which is 18. One great earthquake (magntidue 8.0 and above)...
