Isolation of Mycobacterium avium from waterfowl with polycystic livers
Thomas J. Roffe
1989, Avian Diseases (33) 195-198
An unusual gross appearance of avian tuberculosis, where fluid-filled thin-walled cysts are produced and grossly apparent in preference to granulomas, is presented. Histopathology confirmed the granulomatous nature of the lesions and the presence of intracellular acid-fast organisms. Mycobacterium avium complex was cultured from affected organs. The unusual gross presentation in...

Zircon geochronology of Precambrian rocks in southeastern Wyoming and northern Colorado
Wayne R. Premo, W. R. Van Schmus
1989, Book chapter, Proterozoic geology of the Southern Rocky Mountains
Archean gneisses and Early Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Wyoming Province are separated from Proterozoic eugeoclinal metamorphic rocks by a major east-west–trending shear zone called the Cheyenne belt. U-Pb zircon ages of Archean tonalites north of the Cheyenne belt denote an intrusive event at 2,700 Ma. Detrital zircons from Proterozoic...

The brown tree snake, an introduced pest species in the central Pacific Islands
Thomas H. Fritts, Gordon H. Rodda
1989, Endangered Species Technical Bulletin (14) 5-7
The reproduction of endangered Mariana crows (Corvus kubaryi) is intensively monitored, nests are protected, and (when necessary) eggs or young are moved to the safety of lab conditions until they are less vulnerable to the threats in natural habitats. Barriers on tree trunks and judicious pruning of adjacent trees...
The type specimens of Hekstra's owl
M.R. Browning
1989, Report, Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington
Twenty-four new subspecies of New World owls of the genus Otus were named in a paper by Hekstra (1982b) issued 17 December 1982. These same new names also appeared in Hekstra's (1982a) unpublished thesis. The holotypes of the new taxa are in 10 different collections, most of which...
Hydrological, morphometrical, and biological characteristics of the connecting rivers of the International Great Lakes: a review

D.P. Dodge, editor(s)
1989, Book, Proceedings of the International Large River Symposium
The connecting channels of the Great Lakes are large rivers (1, 200-9, 900 m3 • s-1) with limited tributary drainage systems and relatively stable hydrology (about 2:1 ration of maximum to minimum flow). The rivers, from headwaters to outlet, are the St. Marys, St. Clair, Detroit, Niagara, and St. Lawrence....

Suggestions for prospecting
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1989, Report
Prospectors have contributed much to the development of this Nation's mineral resources. Since the time of the earliest settlement, the need for iron for tools and guns, lead for bullets, and copper for utensils has prompted a search for sources of these metals. The lure of gold and silver provided...
Transport and degradation of water-soluble creosote-derived compounds
E. Michael Godsy, D.F. Goerlitz, Dunja Grbic-Galic
D. Allen, editor(s)
1989, Book chapter, Intermedia pollutant transport: Modeling and field measurements
Creosote is the most extensively used insecticide and industrial wood preservative today. It is estimated that there are more than 600 wood-preserving plants in the United States, and their collective use of creosote exceeds 4.5xl06 kg/yr (von Rumker et al., 1975). Creosote is a complex mixture of more than...

Partition and adsorption on soil and mobility of organic pollutants and pesticides
C. T. Chiou
1989, Book chapter, Toxic organic chemicals in porous media
The mechanism for sorption of organic pollutants and pesticides by soil has long been a subject of profound interest because of its direct impacts on the mobility and activity of the compounds in soil. Although a large volume of laboratory and field data on many aspects of soil behavior had...
