A gamma-ray absorption method for the determination of uranium in ores
Alfred F. Hoyte
1957, Open-File Report 57-55
Current radioactivity methods used for the determination of uranium in ores are based on the assumption that secular equilibrium exists between the daughter products. Eichholz has developed a method which is claimed to be independent of the degree of equilibrium, but it has been found to be inadequate when used...

River flood plains: Some observations on their formation
M. Gordon Wolman, Luna Bergere Leopold
1957, Professional Paper 282-C
On many small rivers and most great rivers, the flood plain consists of channel and overbank deposits. The proportion of the latter is generally very small.Frequency studies indicate that the flood plains of many streams of different sizes flowing in diverse physiographic and climatic regions are subject to flooding about...
