Experimental control of sea lampreys with electricity on the south shore of Lake Superior, 1953-60
Alberton L. McLain, Bernard R. Smith, Harry H. Moore
1965, Technical Report 10
Experimental control of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, with electric barriers was begun in Lake Superior in 1953. Electrical devices were the most practical and promising method of control then available. Installed below spawning grounds in streams and rivers tributary to Lake Superior, these barriers were designed to prevent the...
Control of alligatorweed in South Carolina with granular silvex
Frank B. McGilvrey, J.H. Steenis
1965, Weeds (13) 66-68
Silvex, [2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propionic acid], impregnated (20% ae) on clay granules, applied at a rate as low as 20 lb/A ae gave excellent control of well-rooted alligatorweed [Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Grieb] growing in less than 18 inches of water. The 2-ethylhexyl ester of silvex was more effective than the potassium salt. Silvex...
A method for estimating fall adult sex ratios from production and survival data
Howard M. Wight, Robert G. Heath, A. D. Geis
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 185-192
This paper presents a method of utilizing data relating to the production and survival of a bird population to estimate a basic fall adult sex ratio. This basic adult sex ratio is an average value derived from average production and survival rates. It is an estimate of the average sex...

Age and metamorphism of some massive sulfide deposits in Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee
A.R. Kinkel Jr., H.H. Thomas, R. F. Marvin, F.G. Walthall
1965, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (29) 717-724
Isotopic ages of vein and wall-rock samples have been determined on five massive sulflde deposits of the southern Appalachians. Vein mineral ages of about 1100 m.y. indicate that some ore bodies formed at least as early as the Grenville metamorphism, and probably soon after the formation of the enclosing gneiss...

Some diseases and parasites of captive woodcocks
L. N. Locke, William H. Stickel, S.A. Geis
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 156-161
Observations were made concerning the diseases and parasites of a group of woodcocks (Philohela minor) caught in Massachusetts in the summer of 1960 and kept in captivity in Maryland, and of another group caught and kept in Louisiana in the winter of 1960-61. Bumblefoot, a granulomatous swelling of the foot...
Solution of rocks and refractory minerals by acids at high temperatures and pressures. Determination of silica after decomposition with hydrofluoric acid
I. May, J.J. Rowe
1965, Analytica Chimica Acta (33) 648-654
A modified Morey bomb was designed which contains a removable nichromecased 3.5-ml platinium crucible. This bomb is particularly useful for decompositions of refractory samples for micro- and semimicro-analysis. Temperatures of 400–450° and pressures estimated as great as 6000 p.s.i. were maintained in the bomb for...
The binary system K2SO4CaSO4
J.J. Rowe, G.W. Morey, I.D. Hansen
1965, Journal of Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry (27) 53-58
The binary system K2SO4CaSO4 was studied by means of heating-cooling curves, differential thermal analysis, high-temperature quenching technique and by means of a heating stage mounted on an X-ray diffractometer. Compositions and quench products were identified optically and by X-ray. Limited solid solution of CaSO4 in...
Ground-water pumpage and water-level changes in the Milwaukee-Waukesha area, Wisconsin, 1950-61
J. H. Green, R. D. Hutchinson
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-I
Artesian water pressure in the deep sandstone aquifer continued to decline throughout most of the Milwaukee-Waukesha area, Wisconsin between 1950 and 1961. Areas of greatest water-level decline were in northeast Waukesha County and in northwest Milwaukee County. The chief cause of the decline was continued heavy pumpage. The major aquifers...

Surface water records of Texas, 1964
U.S. Geological Survey
1965, Report
The surface-water records for the 1964 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, miscellaneous sites, and base-flow studies within the State of Texas are given in this report. For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed...
Selected ground water data in the Eola-Amity Hills area, northern Willamette Valley, Oregon
Don Price, Nyra A. Johnson
1965, Report
Occurrence, quality, and availability of ground water differ considerably from place to place in the Eola-Amity Hills area because of the highly diversified geologic and hydrologic conditions. A table relates the geologic situation to the availability of ground water for four...

Vacuum-jacketed hydrofluoric acid solution calorimeter
R. A. Robie
1965, Review of Scientific Instruments (36) 484-486
A vacuum‐jacketed metal calorimeter for determining heats of solution in aqueous HF was constructed. The reaction vessel was made of copper and was heavily gold plated. The calorimeter has a cooling constant of 0.6 cal‐deg−1‐min−1, approximately ¼ that of the air‐jacketed calorimeters most commonly used with HF. It reaches equilibrium within 10 min after turning off the heater current. Measurements...

A small stream in eastern California was studied in detail to determine the causes of travertine deposition from the stream. Although the ground water feeding the stream is slightly supersaturated to just saturated with calcite, the ground water is supersaturated with CO2 with respect...
Natural recharge and localization of fresh ground water in Kuwait
R.E. Bergstrom, R.E. Aten
1965, Journal of Hydrology (2) 213-231
Fresh ground water (200 parts per million total dissolved solids and upwards) occurs in portions of Pleistocene sandstone aquifers beneath basins and wadis in north Kuwait where the mean rainfall is about five inches per year. The fresh water is surrounded and underlain by brackish water (> 4000 ppm TDS)....
