1978, Open-File Report 78-447
Using several analytical techniques, results of analysis of U. S. Geological Survey new standard SDO-1 are given for selected elements. The Devonian black shale shows an organic carbon content of approximately 10.3 percent, a sulfur content of approximately 5.6 percent, and a uranium content of approximately 56 ppm. Some elements...
Biology of larval and metamorphosing sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus, of the 1960 year class in the Big Garlic River, Michigan, Part II, 1966-72
Patrick J. Manion, Bernard R. Smith
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...
Studies on vertical and horizontal transmission of duck plague virus in apparently healthy waterfowl
Elizabeth C. Burgess
1978, Thesis
Healthy waterfowl were found to be carriers of duck plague (DP) virus. Black ducks (Anas rubripes) and Canada geese (Branta canadensis) surviving a natural outbreak of DP at Coloma, Wisconsin, in 1973 yielded DP virus in cloacal swabs taken four years postinfection. Experimental infection of previously unexposed mallard ducks (Anas...

1978, Open-File Report 78-506
In an area of 7,200 acres (29 sq km) In the Hanging Woman Creek study area, the Anderson coal bed contains potentially surface minable resources of 378 million short tons (343 million metric tons) of subbituminous C coal that ranges in thickness from 26 to 33 feet (7.9-10.1 m) at...
Quakes; U. S. plans ways to cope
W. Sullivan
1978, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (10) 160-161
To minimize damage and loss of life when, as is believed inevitable, a major earthquake strikes the United States, plans have been prepared for the creation of new Federal agencies, widespread reinforcement of structures and extensive research on earthquake prediction, control, and hazard reduction. ...

Earthquake history of Wyoming
C. A. von Hake
1978, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (10) 150-154
Forty-five earthquakes of moderate intensity (V or greater) on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MM) and extent have originated in Wyoming from 1894 to 1976. Many shocks have occurred in Yellowstone National Park, including an intensity VII event in June 1975. the 1959 Hebgen Lake, Mont., earthquake, centered just west...

A high-frequency sonar for profiling small-scale subaqueous bedforms
J.R. Dingler, J.C. Boylls, R.L. Lowe
1977, Marine Geology (24) 279-288
A high-resolution ultrasonic profiler has been developed which permits both laboratory and field studies of small-scale subaqueous bedforms. The device uses a 2.5-cm diameter piezoelectric ceramic crystal pulsed at a frequency of 4.5 MHz to obtain vertical accuracy and resolution of at least 1 mm. Compared to other small-scale profiling...

Studies on the protein and sulfur amino acid requirements of young Bobwhite quail
John A. Serafin
1977, Poultry Science (56) 577-585
Four experiments were conducted with purified diets to examine the influence of protein level and to estimate the sulfur amino acid (S.A.A.) requirement of young Bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus). These studies demonstrated (I) that 26% protein was sufficient for rapid growth when the diet was supplemented with methionine; (2) that...
Field expectations and the determination of wildcat drilling
Emil D. Attanasi, L. J. Drew
1977, Southern Economic Journal (44) 53-67
There is currently some dissatisfaction with macroeconomic approaches to modeling the supply of domestic crude oil. One problem that has been pointed out is that the estimated supply responses of new discoveries brought about by price increases appear to be unrealistically high. Because data frequently used in these models are...
