An operational GLS model for hydrologic regression
Gary D. Tasker, J.R. Stedinger
1989, Journal of Hydrology (111) 361-375
Recent Monte Carlo studies have documented the value of generalized least squares (GLS) procedures to estimate empirical relationships between streamflow statistics and physiographic basin characteristics. This paper presents a number of extensions of the GLS method that deal with realities and complexities of regional hydrologic data sets that were not...
Spark ablation-inductively coupled plasma spectrometry for analysis of geologic materials
D. W. Golightly, A. Montaser, B.L. Smith, A. F. Dorrzapf Jr.
1989, Talanta (36) 299-303
Spark ablation—inductively coupled plasma (SA-ICP) spectrometry is applied to the measurement of hafnium—zirconium ratios in zircons and to the determination of cerium, cobalt, iron, lead, nickel and phosphorus in ferromanganese nodules. Six operating parameters used for the high-voltage spark and argon-ICP combination are established by sequential simplex optimization of both...

A kinetic study has been conducted to determine the influence of reagent type on flotation rates of ultrafine coal. Two ultrafine coal samples, the Illinois No. 5 (Springfield) and Pittsburgh No. 8, have been evaluated with various reagent types in order to derive the rate constants for coal (kc), ash...

1,3,5-Hydroxybenzene structures in mosses
M. A. Wilson, J. Sawyer, Patrick G. Hatcher, H. E. Lerch III
1989, Phytochemistry (28) 1395-1400
A number of mosses from widely different families have been studied by cross polarization solid state 13C NMR spectroscopy. Although polysaccharide-type materials dominate the NMR spectra, significant amounts of aromatic carbons are observed in some mosses. Some of this material can be removed by ultrasonic bath treatment, and is lignin derived,...
Chemical affinities between the solvent extractable and the bulk organic matter of fossil resin associated with an extinct podocarpaceae
J.O. Grimalt, Bernd R. T. Simoneit, Patrick G. Hatcher
1989, Phytochemistry (28) 1167-1171
Analyses by GC-MS and GC-IR of resin associated to Dacridiumites mawsonii deposits, an extinct species of Podocarpaceae occurring on the South Island of New Zealand during the Bortonian (Middle Eocene), have revealed that dehydroabietic acid is the predominant component of the solvent soluble fraction. Accordingly, this diterpenoid has been selected as the...

Preliminary geologic map of the Puu Anahulu quadrangle, Hawaii
Richard B. Moore, David A. Clague, Wendy A. Bohrson, W. S. Wise
1989, Open-File Report 89-284
Vent deposits and lava flows from Hualalai Volcano and lava flows from Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea Volcanoes cover the Puu Anahulu 7 1/2-minute quadrangle. Hualalai's diffuse north-trending rift zone, marked by the large trachyte cone of Puu Waawaa and several basaltic spatter cones, is located mainly in the southwestern...

Multichannel seismic-reflection profiles collected in 1979 aboard M/V Seismic Explorer on the western Florida shelf
M. M. Ball, N.K. Soderberg
1989, Open-File Report 89-157
In August 1979, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) aboard the M/V SEISMIC EXPLORER of Seismic Explorations International (SEI), ran 17 lines (1,270 km) of multichannel, seismic-reflection profiles on the western Florida Shelf. The main features of the SEI system were (1) a digital recorder with an instantaneous-floating-point-gain constant of 24...

The vertical distribution of selected trace metals and organic compounds in bottom materials of the proposed lower Columbia River export channel, Oregon, 1984
Gregory J. Fuhrer, Arthur J. Horowitz
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4099
A proposal to deepen the lower Columbia River navigation channel in Oregon prompted a study of the vertical distribution of selected trace metals and organic compounds in bottom sediments. These data are needed to evaluate the effects of dredging and disposal operations. Elutriation testing of bottom material indicated chemical concentrations...
Map showing 1983 landslides in Utah
Earl E. Brabb, Gerald F. Wieczorek, Edwin L. Harp
1989, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 2085
The State of Utah sustained direct damages from landslides and flooding in excess of $400 million during approximately three months in the spring of 1983. These disastrous events were declared national disaster areas (Anderson and others, 1985)....
Determination of stream reaeration coefficients by use of tracers
F. A. Kilpatrick, R. E. Rathbun, Nobuhiro Yotsukura, G.W. Parker, L. L. DeLong
1989, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-A18
Stream reaeration is the physical absorption of oxygen from the atmosphere by a flowing stream. This is the primary process by which a stream replenishes the oxygen consumed in the biodegradation of organic wastes. Prior to 1965, reaeration rate coefficients could be estimated only by indirect methods. In 1965, a direct...

Measurement of time of travel in streams by dye tracing
F. A. Kilpatrick, James F. Wilson
1989, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-A9
The use of fluorescent dyes and tracing techniques provides a means for measuring the time-of-travel and dispersion characteristics of steady and gradually varied flow in streams. Measurements of the dispersion and concentration of dyes give insight into the behavior of soluble contaminants that may be introduced into a stream. This manual describes methods of measuring time...
