The selenium content of U.S.G.S. standard rocks
M. M. Schnepfe, F.J. Flanagan
1973, Chemical Geology (12) 77-80
Selenium was determined in duplicate portions from three bottles of six U.S.G.S. standard rocks by a spect rofluorimetric procedure. The following averages, as p.p.m. Se, were obtained: PCC-1, 0.031; GSP-1, 0.088; BCR-1, 0.12; SCo-1, 0.91; MAG-1, 1.3; and SGR-1, 3.7. One-way analysis...
Drought displaced movement of North American pintails into Siberia
Charles J. Henny
1973, Journal of Wildlife Management (37) 23-29
During the years 1954-70, 230 pintails (Anas acuta) banded in North America were reported from eastern Asia, primarily Siberia. Most of the birds were shot on the breeding grounds in May. The movement into eastern Asia of pintails banded in the interior of North America was directly correlated with the...
Summary of chemical and radiochemical monitoring of water for the Cannikin event, Amchitka Island, Alaska, fiscal year 1972
L.J. Schroder, Wilbur C. Ballance
1973, Report
An increased dissolved-solids content was found immediately after the Cannikin event (November 6, 1971) at most of 10 locations in a water-sampling network established in 1967 and revised in September 1971. The observed dissolved-solids content increase was within the seasonal range that has been observed at these locations. No measurable increase...
Radiochemical monitoring of water after the Cannikin event, Amchitka Island, Alaska, October 1972
L.J. Schroder, Wilbur C. Ballance
1973, Report
The U.S. Geological Survey collected water samples from Arnchitka Island, Alaska, during October 1972. Tritium determinations were made on all samples collected and gross alpha and gross beta/gamma determinations were made on 41 samples. The gross alpha and gross beta determinations when compared with previously determined ranges for fresh waters...
Hydraulic tests in hole UAe-3, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance
1973, Report
Inflatable straddle packers were used to isolate and test selected intervals in hole UAe-3. Packer seats were poor in the uncased part of the hole because of unstable wall conditions, and leakage around packers occurred during some tests. However, leakage generally was slight, as shown on pressure-gage charts, and had...
Determination of gold in phosphates by activation analysis using epithermal neutrons
Jack J. Rowe
1973, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (1) 79-80
A simple method is described for determining gold in phosphates and phosphatic materials. Samples in a cadmium container are irradiated with epithermal neutrons to minimize the formation of 32 P, while permitting the formation of adequate amounts of 198 Au.  Fire assay-radiochemical methods are used to separate the 198 Au.  Concentrations as low...
K, Rb, Sr and 87Sr 86Sr in rocks from the Mid-Indian Oceanic Ridge
K.V. Subbarao, C. E. Hedge
1973, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (18) 223-228
The 87Sr/86Sr ratios of Mid-Indian Oceanic Ridge (MIOR) basalts are nearly identical (0.7032 to 0.7035), with the exception of one more highly radiogenic sample (0.7043). These values are consistently higher than the strontium isotopic ratios of the ridge basalts from Atlantic and...
Mariner 9-Image processing and products
E.C. Levinthal, W.B. Green, J.A. Cutts, E.D. Jahelka, R.A. Johansen, M.J. Sander, J.B. Seidman, A.T. Young, L.A. Soderblom
1973, Icarus (18) 75-101
The purpose of this paper is to describe the system for the display, processing, and production of image-data products created to support the Mariner 9 Television Experiment. Of necessity, the system was large in order to respond to the needs of a large team of scientists with a broad scope...
Stress changes ahead of an advancing tunnel
J.F. Abel, F. T. Lee
1973, International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts (10) 673-697
Instrumentation placed ahead of three model tunnels in the laboratory and ahead of a crosscut driven in a metamorphic rock mass detected stress changes several tunnel diameters ahead of the tunnel face. Stress changes were detected 4 diameters ahead of a model tunnel drilled into nearly elastic acrylic, 2·50 diameters...
Statistical recognition of late Cretaceous cyclic sedimentation by means of calcareous nannofossil population studies
I.R. Mayers, T.R. Worsley
1973, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (13) 81-90
The relative abundance of calcareous nannofossil taxa in a sequence of samples collected from a continuous Upper Maastrichtian section in Alabama has been analyzed using statistical techniques. Results indicate that an increase of arbitrarily chosen long-ranging forms can be represented by a slowly...
Production of superheated steam from vapor-dominated geothermal reservoirs
A.H. Truesdell, D. E. White
1973, Geothermics (2) 154-173
Vapor-dominated geothermal systems such as Larderello, Italy, The Geysers, California, and Matsukawa, Japan yield dry or superheated steam when exploited. Models for these systems are examined along with production data and the thermodynamic properties of water, steam and rock. It is concluded that...
Ultrafiltration by a compacted clay membrane-II. Sodium ion exclusion at various ionic strengths
B.B. Hanshaw, T.B. Coplen
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 2311-2327
Several recent laboratory studies and field investigations have indicated that shales and compacted clay minerals behave as semipermeable membranes. One of the properties of semipermeable membranes is to retard or prevent the passage of charged ionic species through the membrane pores while allowing relatively free movement of uncharged species. This...
Toxicity of TFM (lampricide) to six early stages of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
L.E. Olson, L. L. Marking
1973, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (30) 1047-1052
The lampricide TFM (3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol) was tested against the following life stages of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri): green eggs, eyed eggs, sac fry, swim-up fry, fry, and fingerlings in four water hardnesses (12, 44, 170, and 320 mg/liter as CaCO3). The eyed-egg stage was one of the most resistant stages tested, and...
History of salmon in the Great Lakes, 1850-1970
John W. Parsons
1973, Technical Paper 68
This history of the salmon in the Great Lakes describes the decline and extinction of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Lake Ontario in the 1800's; the failure to establish, by salmon culture, permanent or sizable populations of Atlantic or Pacific salmon in any of the Great Lakes in 1867-1965;...
An empirical NaKCa geothermometer for natural waters
R.O. Fournier, A.H. Truesdell
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 1255-1275
An empirical method of estimating the last temperature of water-rock interaction has been devised. It is based upon molar Na, K and Ca concentrations in natural waters from temperature environments ranging from 4 to 340°C. The data for most geothermal waters cluster near a straight line when plotted as the...
18O 16O ratios in cherts associated with the saline lake deposits of East Africa
J. R. O’Neil, R. L. Hay
1973, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (19) 257-266
The cherts formed from sodium silicate precursors in East African saline, alkaline lakes have δ18O values ranging from 31.1 to 44.1. The δ18O values correlate in general with lake salinities as inferred from geologic evidence, indicating that most chert was formed...
Snowy owl predation on lapland longspur nestlings recorded on film
T. W. Custer
1973, The Auk (90) 433-435
 During the summer of 1971 I investigated the breeding biology of the Lapland Longspur, Calcarius lapponicus, near Barrow, Alaska. To obtain data on incubation and feeding patterns of nesting longspurs, time-lapse cameras (Minolta Autopak-8 D6 super-8 movie cameras equipped with an Intervalometer-P time-lapse device) were positioned at several nests throughout...
