Line transect estimation of population size: the exponential case with grouped data
David R. Anderson, K.P. Burnham, B.R. Crain
1979, Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods (8) 487-507
Gates, Marshall, and Olson (1968) investigated the line transect method of estimating grouse population densities in the case where sighting probabilities are exponential. This work is followed by a simulation study in Gates (1969). A general overview of line transect analysis is presented by Burnham and Anderson (1976). These articles...

Modeling sandhill crane population dynamics
Douglas H. Johnson
1979, Special Scientific Report - Wildlife 222
The impact of sport hunting on the Central Flyway population of sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) has been a subject of controversy for several years. A recent study (Buller 1979) presented new and important information on sandhill crane population dynamics. The present report is intended to incorporate that and other information...

Excretion of the lampricide Bayer 73 by rainbow trout

1979, Conference Paper, Aquatic toxicology: Proceedings of the second annual symposium on aquatic toxicology
Urinary excretion of the 2-aminoethanol salt of 2′, 5-dichloro-4′-nitrosalicylanilide (Bayer 73) in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) was measured after exposure of the trout to Bayer 73 and also after intraperitoneal (ip) injection of the lampricide. Fish exposed to 0.05 mg/litre of Bayer 73 for 12 h quickly began to excrete...
Derivation of linearized constitutive equations for plane-strain of an elastic-plastic (strain hardening) material
Arvid M. Johnson
1979, Open-File Report 79-433
The purpose of this report is to derive several of the basic equations for a paper on folding and folding of idealized rock (Johnson, 1979). That paper is based on constitutive equations for an ideal, strain-hardening material defined by Hill (1950, p. 30) and generalized to include Coulomb behavior and...
Ethyl-p-aminobenzoate (Benzocaine): efficacy as an anesthetic for five species of freshwater fish
V. K. Dawson, P.A. Gilderhus
1979, Investigations in Fish Control 87
Ethyl-p-aminobenzoate (benzocaine) was tested for its efficacy as an anesthetic for rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii, brown trout (Salmo truttas, northern pike (Esox lucius). carp (Cyprinus carpio), and largemouth bass (Mieropterus salmoidesi. Since benzocaine is not water soluble, it was applied with acetone as a carrier. Concentrations of 100 to 200...

Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Trempealeau-Black River basin, Wisconsin
B. K. Holmstrom
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-9
Lov-flov characteristics of streams in the Trempealeau-Black River "basin are presented. Included are estimates of low-flow frequency and flow duration at 9 gaging stations, and low-flow frequency characteristics at 20 low-flow partial-record stations and 119 miscellaneous sites. Ten equations are provided to estimate low-flow characteristics at ungaged sites and at sites...
International Seismological Centre
H. Spall, A. Hughes
1979, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (11) 165-169
The International Seismological Centre had its origins when the British seismologist Professor John Milne returned to England from Japan in 1895 to retire at Shide on the Isle of Eight. In cooperation with the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Milne had set up a number of seismographic stations...
Modeling of rock friction 1. Experimental results and constitutive equations
James H. Dieterich
1979, Conference Paper, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth
Direct shear experiments on ground surfaces of a granodiorite from Raymond, California, at normal stresses of ??6 MPa demonstrate that competing time, displacement, and velocity effects control rock friction. It is proposed that the strength of the population of points of contacts between sliding surfaces determines frictional strength and that...
The Parkfield prediction experiment
A. Lindh, P. Evans, P. Harsh, G. Buhr
1979, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (11) 209-213
The San Andreas fault is part of the boundary between the Pacific and North American crustal plates. In California, movements of about 3 centimeters per year are currently taking place along the fault, although plat tectonic models suggest a faster rate of 5 cm/yr may be the average over a...

A microearthquake network is a group of highly sensitive seismographic stations designed primarily to record local earthquakes of magnitudes less than 3. Depending on the application, a microearthquake network will consist of several stations or as many as a few hundred . They are usually classified as either permanent or...

Some aspects of the early history of seismology

From the earliest times, people have been terrified yet fascinated by the workings of the Earth. Indeed records of earthquakes have been kept in China for over 3000 years and for 1500 years in Japan. because of the interior of the Earth is inaccessible, nothing about it could be known...
Distribution and status of marine birds breeding along the coasts of the Chukchi and Bering seas
James C. Bartonek, S.G. Sealy
1979, Research Report 11
The Alaska coast fronting on the Chukchi and Bering seas, exclusive of the Aleutian Islands, supports seven complexes of marine bird colonies numbering more than 1 million birds each, nine colonies of 100,000 to almost 1 million birds, and many smaller colonies. Colonies are found on most headlands and islands...
