The moon: Composition determined by nebular processes
J. W. Morgan, J. Hertogen, E. Anders
1978, The Moon and the Planets (18) 465-478
The bulk composition of the Moon was determined by the conditions in the solar nebula during its formation, and may be quantitatively estimated from the premise that the terrestrial planets were formed by cosmochemical processes similar to those recorded in the chondrites. The calculations are based on the Ganapathy-Anders 7-component...
Reproduction of raccoons (Procyon lotor) in North Dakota
E.K. Fritzell
1978, American Midland Naturalist (100) 253-256
Necropsies and observations of captive and radio-equipped individuals provided reproductive data from a raccoon population in the northern prairies. The mean parturition date of adult females was 8 May and the mean litter size was 4.8. Only two of the 14 yearling females examined prior to 1 July were pregnant;...

Analytical multicollimator camera calibration
W.P. Tayman
1978, Photogrammetria (34) 179-197
Calibration with the U.S. Geological survey multicollimator determines the calibrated focal length, the point of symmetry, the radial distortion referred to the point of symmetry, and the asymmetric characteristiecs of the camera lens. For this project, two cameras were calibrated, a Zeiss RMK A 15/23 and a Wild RC 8....

Dislocation substructure of mantle-derived olivine as revealed by selective chemical etching and transmission electron microscopy
S. H. Kirby, M.W. Wegner
1978, Physics and Chemistry of Minerals (3) 309-330
Cleaved and mechanically polished surfaces of olivine from peridotite xenoliths from San Carlos, Arizona, were chemically etched using the techniques of Wegner and Christie (1974). Dislocation etch pits are produced on all surface orientations and they tend to be preferentially aligned along the traces of subgrain boundaries, which are approximately...

1978, Boundary-Layer Meteorology (13) 309-337
During the AIDJEX Main Experiment, April 1975 through May 1976, a comprehensive microwave sensing program was performed on the sea ice of the Beaufort Sea. Surface and aircraft measurements were obtained during all seasons using a wide variety of active and passive microwave sensors. The surface program obtained passive microwave...
Prediction of capacity factors for aqueous organic solutes adsorbed on a porous acrylic resin
E.M. Thurman, Ronald L. Malcolm, G. R. Aiken
1978, Analytical Chemistry (50) 775-779
The capacity factors of 20 aromatic, allphatic, and allcycllc organic solutes with carboxyl, hydroxyl, amine, and methyl functional groups were determined on Amberlite XAD-8, a porous acrylic resin. The logarithm of the capacity factor, k', correlated inversely with the logarithm of the aqueous molar solubility with significance of less than...

Hydrologic appraisal of the water resources of the Homer-Preble Valley, New York
William Buller
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-94
Water resources of Homer-Preble Valley, 1 to 2 miles wide and 9 miles long, in central New York, were appraised because the area is expected to undergo considerable residential development in the near future. The main source of water supply to the residents of the area is the glacial-outwash aquifer....
Coccidia of whooping cranes
Donald J. Forrester, J. W. Carpenter, D.R. Blankinship
1978, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (14) 24-27
Coccidial oocysts were observed in 6 of 19 fecal samples from free-ranging whooping cranes (Grus americana) and 4 of 16 samples from captive whooping cranes. Eimeria gruis occurred in four free-ranging whooping cranes and E. reichenowi in two free-ranging and two captive whooping cranes. Fecal samples from two captive cranes contained oocysts of lsospora lacazei which...
Myxosoma cerebralis: Detection of circulating antibodies in infected rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
B.R. Griffin, E.M. Davis
1978, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (35) 1186-1190
Circulating antibody against spores of Myxosoma cerebralis has been detected for the first time in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) affected with whirling disease. An indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) was employed for detection of trout immunoglobulin. Most sera of fish from an infected experimental group were found to give a positive reaction...
Reproduction of chaparral shrubs after fire: A comparison of sprouting and seeding strategies
Jon E. Keeley, Paul H. Zedler
1978, American Midland Naturalist (99) 142-161
The relative ability of sprouting and nonsprouting chaparral shrubs to recover from fire was studied by examining population of congeneric pairs of species in burned and adjacent unburned areas. The pairs of species selected, with the nonsprouting species named first, were Arctostaphylos...
Net energy maintenance requirements of salmonids as measured by direct calorimetry: Effect of body size and environmental temperature
R. R. Smith, G. L. Rumsey, M. L. Scott
1978, Journal of Nutrition (108) 1017-1024
Most studies of metabolic rates and energy requirements in aquatic animals have been conducted using indirect methods wherein heat production estimates were based on O2 consumed and CO2 produced. The purpose of the present study was to determine the feasibility of direct calorimetry as a method for measuring heat production of fish...

1978, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (3) 229-279
In this paper we summarize the major element chemical variation for basalts from the Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 37 and relate it to stratigraphic position in each of five drilling sites. Least-squares techniques are successfully used to quantify the nature and extent of alteration in these basalts, and to...

R.P. Morgan II, D. W. Meritt, S. B. Block, M. Cole
1978, Transactions of the Northeast Section of the Wildlife Society, Annual Fish and Wildlife Conference (35) 225-236
From 1974 to 1976, a breeding program was used to produce black duck-mallard hybrids for the evaluation of inheritance patterns of serum proteins and esterases. In addition to the initial crosses, a series of matings in 1975 and 1976 were designed to evaluate inheritance patterns in hybrid matings with either...

1978, Technical Report 30
The 1960 year class of sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus, isolated in a tributary of southern Lake Superior continued to yield information on the early life history of the sea lamprey. The larval population persisted and newly metamorphosed individuals were captured from 1966 until the study was terminated in 1972. The...
