Plasmoptysis and gelatin of erythrocytes in coagulation of blood of freshwater bony fishes
Ken Wolf
1959, Blood (14) 1339-1344
1. A clot-like material which results from very rapid plasmoptysis and hydrophyllic swelling of karyoplasm of erythrocytes from freshwater fish was reported. This attribute was found to a lesser degree in erythrocytes from an amphibian, but it was almost lacking in those of an aquatic reptile.2. Rapid clotting of fish...
Determination of chlorine in silicate rocks
L. C. Peck, E. J. Tomasi
1959, Analytical Chemistry (31) 2024-2026
In a rapid accurate method for the determination of chlorine in silicate rocks, the rock powder is sintered with a sodium carbonate flux containing zinc oxide and magnesium carbonate. The sinter cake is leached with water, the resulting solution is filtered, and the filtrate is acidified with nitric acid. Chlorine...

The reclamation of Indian and Abrams creeks in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Robert E. Lennon, Phillip S. Parker
1959, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 306
A complete program of stream reclamation was developed and applied on Indian and Abrams creeks in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A salt-resistivity technique was used to estimate the dilution and velocity of a toxicant in running water. Streamside toxicity trials on resident fishes established minimal, effective concentrations of the...

Sixty years after Coronado, Don Juan de Onate wrote the first reasonably good description of the High Plains. He was near the present site of Wichita, Kansas, in 1601, when he arrived a t a large rancheria, or temporary Indian camp, containing more than 5000 souls. Onate's account expressed wonderment...
Magnetostriction and palæomagnetism of igneous rocks
John W. Graham, A. F. Buddington, James R. Balsley
1959, Nature (183) 1318
IN a recent communication, Stott and Stacey1 report on a “crucial experiment” from which they conclude: “This excellent agreement between the dip and the directions of artificial thermoremanent magnetization of the stressed and unstressed rocks indicates that large systematic errors due to magnetostriction are most improbable in igneous rocks of types...
