Breeding bird response to cattle grazing of a cottonwood bottomland
James A. Sedgwick, Fritz L. Knopf
1987, Journal of Wildlife Management (51) 230-237
We studied avian habitat relationships and the impact of grazing on breeding densities of selected migratory birds in a plains cottonwood (Populus sargentii) bottomland in northeastern Colorado. Five 16-ha plots served as controls and 5 were fenced and fall-grazed October-November 1982-84 following a season of pre-treatment study in the spring...
Incorporating activity time in harmonic home range analysis
Michael D. Samuel, Edward O. Garton
1987, Journal of Wildlife Management (51) 254-257
The amount of time an animal spends in particular areas is an important aspect of estimating its home range and activity pattern. Calculations of home range using the harmonic mean can be modified to reflect the amount of time or the type of activity observed at each location. The...
Evaluation of pitfall trapping in northwestern forests: Trap arrays with drift fences
R. Bruce Bury, Paul Stephen Corn
1987, Journal of Wildlife Management (51) 112-119
We operated pitfall arrays with 5-m drift fences at 30 stands in western Oregon and Washington for 180 days. Pitfall arrays had a pronounced removal effect on small mammals (but not on the herpetofauna) during the 1st 60 days of trapping. Conventional short (10-day) trapping periods were only adequate to...
Variation of wet deposition chemistry in Sequoia National Park, California
Thomas J. Stohlgren, David J. Parsons
1987, Atmospheric Environment (21) 1369-1374
Sequoia National Park has monitored wet deposition chemistry in conjunction with the National Atmospheric Deposition Program and National Trends Network (NADP/NTN), on a weekly basis since July, 1980. Annual deposition of H, NO3 and SO4 (0.045, 3.6, and 3.9 kg ha−1 a−1, respectively) is relatively low compared to that measured...
Isolation of organic acids from large volumes of water by adsorption on macroporous resins
George R. Aiken

Design of airlift pumps for water circulation and aeration in aquaculture
N. C. Parker, M. A. Suttle
1987, Aquacultural Engineering (6) 97-110
Water flow rates were measured in airlift pumps 3·75-30 cm in diameter to develop performance data that might be useful to aquaculturists. Flows were determined when submergence of airlifts was 100% and when the center-line of the discharge was between 12·5 cm above and 5 cm below the water surface....
Copulation and mate guarding in the Northern Fulmar
Scott A. Hatch
1987, The Auk (104) 450-461
I studied the timing and frequency of copulation in mated pairs and the occurrence of extra-pair copulation (EPC) among Northern Fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) for 2 yr. Copulation peaked 24 days before laying, a few days before females departed on a prelaying exodus of about 3 weeks. I estimated that females...
A Bohemian-type Silurian (Wenlockian) pelecypod faunule from Arctic Canada
J. Pojeta Jr., B.S. Norford
1987, Journal of Paleontology (61) 508-520
The pelecypod genera Slava and Rhombopteria are reported for the first time from Canada, where they occur in a limestone concretion within the Cape Phillips Formation, Cornwallis Island, Arctic Archipelago. These genera are characteristic of Silurian rocks in Bohemia, Czechoslovakia. Graptolites from the same concretion indicate the Monograptus ludensis Zone...
SAND SOURCES FOR THE TRANSGRESSIVE BARRIER COAST OF LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK: EVIDENCE FOR LANDWARD TRANSPORT OF SHELF SEDIMENTS.
S.J. Williams, E.P. Meisburger
1987, Conference Paper
During investigations of the regional geologic framework of Long Island shelf by means of seismic-reflection profiles and cores, Williams (1976) identified a rather limited area on the shelf off Jones Beach where Upper Cretaceous or early Tertiary age glauconite-rich lithosomes subcrop at the seabed, seaward of the shoreface. A suite...

APPLICATIONS OF CATHODOLUMINESCENCE OF QUARTZ AND FELDSPAR TO SEDIMENTARY PETROLOGY.
Leslie F. Ruppert
1987, Scanning Micros (1) 63-72
Cathodoluminescence (CL), the emission of visible light during electron bombardment, was first used in sandstone petrology in the mid-1960's. CL techniques are especially useful for determining the origin and source of quartz and feldspar, two of the most common constituents in clastic rocks. CL properties of both minerals are dependent...
NONHOMOGENEOUS TERMS IN THE UNSTEADY FLOW EQUATIONS: MODELING ASPECTS.
Chintu Lai, Raymond W. Schaffranek, Robert A. Baltzer
1987, Conference Paper
A study is in progress to identify the relative significance, effects, and benefits attributable to the use of one-dimensional, unsteady, open-channel, flow-simulation models employing a variety of nonhomogeneous terms in their equation formulations. Nonhomogeneous terms being analyzed include those representing bed slope, frictional resistance, nonprismatic channel geometry, lateral flow, and...
The solubilities of some major and minor element minerals in ground waters associated with a sandstone-hosted uranium deposit
Richard B. Wanty, J. R. Chatcham, D. Langmuir
1987, Bulletin de Mineralogie (110) 209-226
Ground-water samples from 41 wells penetrating basal Oakville sandstone (Miocene) in S Texas were chemically analysed to identify chemical changes related to nearby U orebodies. The coverage included a 240 km2 area which contains several fault-related U deposits. Factors affecting the hydrochemistry include: 1) relatively high permeabilities of buried fluvial-channel...
DISCHARGE AND DEPTH BEHIND A PARTIALLY BREACHED DAM.
Cheng-lung Chen
1987, Conference Paper
The role that the velocity-distribution correction factor plays in the determination of the flood discharge and corresponding flow depth behind a partially breached dam is investigated. Assumption of a uniformly progressive flow for an established dam-break flood in a rectangular channel of infinite extent leads to the formulation of a...
Stochastic model for the long-term transport of stored sediment in a river channel
Harvey M. Kelsey, Roland Lamberson, Mary Ann Madej
1987, Water Resources Research (2) 1738-1750
We develop a stochastic model for the transport of stored sediment down a river channel. The model is based on probabilities of transition of particles among four different sediment storage reservoirs, called active (often mobilized), semiactive, inactive, and stable (hardly ever mobilized). The probabilities are derived from computed sediment residence...
