Excretion of the lampricide Bayer 73 by rainbow trout
J. L. Allen, V. K. Dawson, J. B. Hunn
L. L. Marking, R. A. Kimerle, editor(s)
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...
Geohydrologic impacts of coal development in the Narragansett Basin, Massachusetts and Rhode Island
Michael H. Frimpter, Anthony Maevsky
1979, Water Supply Paper 2062
The hydrologic impacts of possible coal mining in the 900-square-mile Carboniferous Narragansett Basin in southeastern New England are described. Geophysical tests and hydrologic observations were made in thirteen 3-inch-diameter test holes which were 330 to 1,500 feet deep. Fractures and lithology, including graphite and coal, were identified and located from...
Maps for America: Cartographic products of the U.S. Geological Survey and others
Morris M. Thompson
1979, Report
This book was first conceived as being devoted entirely to descriptions of the maps produced by the U.S. Geological Survey. As the project developed, however, it became clear that the story of maps is not complete unless it is properly set in the background of the American mapping effort as a...
Some basic considerations in the design of hydrologic data networks
Marshall E. Moss
1979, Water Resources Research (15) 1673-1676
Two preeminent considerations of data network design are the random nature of the hydrologic phenomena and the uses that will be made of the data. Information distilled from the data is usually measured in a parametric statistical sense, although the data user is more concerned with the integrated measure of...
Venus: Preliminary topographic and surface imaging results from the Pioneer Orbiter
G.H. Pettengill, P.G. Ford, W.E. Brown, W.M. Kaula, H. Masursky, E. Eliason, G.E. McGill
1979, Science (205) 90-93
Three large Venus surface features, identified previously in images obtained from Earth-based radar observations, are shown by the Pioneer Venus radar mapper to be elevated 5 to 10 kilometers above the surrounding terrain. Two of these features, one bright and the other dark, lie adjacent to each...
Gas-liquid chromatographic determination of Bayer 73 in fish, aquatic invertebrates, mud, and water
C.W. Luhning, P.D. Harman, J.B. Sills, V. K. Dawson, J. L. Allen
1979, Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (62) 1141-1145
A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method is described for determining residues of Bayer 73 (2-aminoethanol salt of 2’,5-dichloro-4’-nitrosalicylanilide) in fish muscle, aquatic invertebrates, mud, and water by analyzing for 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline (CNA), a hydrolysis product of Bayer 73. Bayer 73 residues are extracted from fish muscle tissue, invertebrates, and mud with acetone-formic...
Petrology, composition, and age of intrusive rocks associated with the Quartz Hill molybdenite deposit, southeastern Alaska
T. Hudson, James G. Smith, Raymond L. Elliott
1979, Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences (16) 1805-1822
A large porphyry molybdenum deposit (Quartz Hill deposit) was recently discovered in the heart of the Coast Range batholithic complex about 70 km east of Ketchikan, southeastern Alaska. Intrusive rocks associated with the mineral deposit form two composite epizonal to hypabyssal stocks and many dikes in country rocks. The stocks are...
Surface faults in the gulf coastal plain between Victoria and Beaumont, Texas
Earl R. Verbeek
1979, Tectonophysics (52) 373-375
Displacement of the land surface by faulting is widespread in the Houston-Galveston region, an area which has undergone moderate to severe land subsidence associated with fluid withdrawal (principally water, and to a lesser extent, oil and gas). A causative link between subsidence and fluid extraction has been convincingly reported in...
Arsenic and fluoride in the upper madison river system: Firehole and gibbon rivers and their tributaries, yellowstone national park, wyoming, and southeast montana
J. M. Thompson
1979, Environmental Geology (3) 13-21
Chemical analyses of 21 water samples from the Firehole and Gibbon Rivers, which combine to form the Madison River, gave arsenic and fluoride values above the Environmental Protection Agency Interim Primary Drinking Water maximum contaminant levels (0.05 mg/l arsenic and 2.0 mg/l fluoride). On 18 October, 1975, during a period...
An outbreak of streptococcosis in eared grebes (Podiceps nigricollis)
Wayne I. Jensen
1979, Avian Diseases (23) 543-546
An outbreak of streptococcosis (Streptococcus zooepidemicus), apparently the first recorded in wild birds, killed an estimated 7,500 eared grebes (Podiceps nigricollis) on Great Salt Lake (Utah) in November and December, 1977. Ducks and gulls feeding in the same area were unaffected....
The determination of silver in silicate rocks by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry
P. J. Aruscavage, E.Y. Campbell
1979, Analytica Chimica Acta (109) 171-175
Silver is extracted from a 20% tartaric acid solution by using butyl acetate and diphenylthiourea, and the organic layer is analyzed directly by the graphite-furnace technique. The precisions is ca. 8% as estimated from multiple analysis of 13 standard rocks; there are no systematic errors. The detection limit is 2.4...
Beach-cusp formation
A. H. Sallenger Jr.
1979, Marine Geology (29) 23-37
Field experiments on beach-cusp formation were undertaken to document how the cuspate form develops and to test the edge-wave hypothesis on the uniform spacing of cusps. These involved observations of cusps forming from an initially plane foreshore. The cuspate form was observed to be a product of swash modification of an...
Seismic gaps and source zones of recent large earthquakes in coastal Peru
J. W. Dewey, W. Spence
1979, Pure and Applied Geophysics PAGEOPH (117) 1148-1171
The earthquakes of central coastal Peru occur principally in two distinct zones of shallow earthquake activity that are inland of and parallel to the axis of the Peru Trench. The interface-thrust (IT) zone includes the great thrust-fault earthquakes of 17 October 1966 and 3 October 1974. The coastal-plate interior (CPI)...
A new instrument system to investigate sediment dynamics on continental shelves
D.A. Cacchione, D.E. Drake
1979, Marine Geology (30) 299-312
A new instrumented tripod, the GEOPROBE system, has been constructed and used to collect time-series data on physical and geological parameters that are important in bottom sediment dynamics on continental shelves. Simultaneous in situ digital recording of pressure, temperature, light scattering, and light transmission, in combination with current velocity profiles...
Amino acid racemization dating of fossil bones, I. inter-laboratory comparison of racemization measurements
J.L. Bada, E. Hoopes, D. Darling, G. Dungworth, H.J. Kessels, K.A. Kvenvolden, D.J. Blunt
1979, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (43) 265-268
Enantiomeric measurements for aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and alanine in twenty-one different fossil bone samples have been carried out by three different laboratories using different analytical methods. These inter-laboratory comparisons demonstrate that D/L aspartic acid measurements are highly reproducible, whereas the enantiomeric measurements...
Mathematics and mallard management
L.M. Cowardin, Douglas H. Johnson
1979, Journal of Wildlife Management (43) 18-35
Waterfowl managers can effectively use simple population models to aid in making management decisions. We present a basic model of the change in population size as related to survival and recruitment. A management technique designed to increase survival of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) by limiting harvest on the Chippewa National Forest,...
Space, time, and the third dimension (model error)
Marshall E. Moss
1979, Water Resources Research (15) 1797-1800
The space-time tradeoff of hydrologic data collection (the ability to substitute spatial coverage for temporal extension of records or vice versa) is controlled jointly by the statistical properties of the phenomena that are being measured and by the model that is used to meld the information sources. The control exerted...
