An antigenic comparison between infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (OSV strain) and the virus of haemorrhagic septicaemia of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) (Denmark strain) by cross neutralization
P. E. McAllister, J. L. Fryer, K.S. Pilcher
1974, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (10) 101-103
The infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (OSV strain) and the virus of haemorrhagic septicaemia of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) (Denmark strain) were examined for possible antigenic relationship by plaque neutralization using homologous and heterologous antisera. No neutralization of either virus was observed on exposure to heterologous antiserum. This indicates that there...
Earthquake history of Nevada
C. A. von Hake
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 26-29
Since 1852, more than 30 shocks of intensity VI or greater (Modified Mercalli scale) have occurred in western Nevada. At least three of these were classified as intensity X. In addition, seven earthquakes (intensity VI or greater) were centered in the eastern part of the State. Almost 2,000 other shocks...
Earthquake history of Nebraska

Nebraska is in a region of moderate seismicity occasionally punctuated by rather strong earthquakes. Most of the State is seismic risk zone 1, with a small part in the southeast corner in risk zone 2. the first significant earthquake felt in Nebraska occurred in 1867, the year that statehood was...
Social behavior of breeding gadwalls in North Dakota
T.J. Dwyer
1974, The Auk (91) 375-386
Responses of duck pairs encountering other ducks were categorized by McKinney (1965a) as displays, attack, escape and avoidance, sexual pursuit, and sociability. Gadwalls (Anas strepera) show all these responses on the breeding grounds, and characteristic behavior patterns occur depending on the reproductive state of the birds involved. The responses of...

Short-term fate of dietary dieldrin in the digestive tract of juvenile lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush)
Donald J. Stewart, Roy A. Stein
1974, Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (11) 563-566
Short-term fate of dietary dieldrin in the digestive tract of fishes is poorly known. Studies of the uptake, distribution, and elimination of chlorinated hydrocarbons have suggested that uptake or degradation is rapid in the intestine (GROSS 1969; MACEK et al. 1970; GRZENDA et al. 1970, 1971). The present study was...
