Ulrich Schimschal
1980, Open-File Report 80-688
The theory for the evaluation of the effects of geometry in gamma ray absorption is developed for cylindrical scintillation detectors as applicable to borehole gamma spectrometry. The results of a laboratory experiment are shown for comparison. A calibration procedure to determine detector efficiency is given for application to borehole probes....

The data were collected from November 1970 to May 1975 and were originally released in a series of four U.S. Geological Survey open-file reports during the mid-1970's. The...
Calibration and potential uses of a digital water-quality model for the Arkansas River in Pueblo County, Colorado
Kimball E. Goddard
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-38
The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a 1-year study to calibrate and demonstrate the use of a steady-state water quality model for a 42-mile reach of the Arkansas River in Pueblo County, Colo. Based on the calibration, the model is capable of accurately predicting concentrations of carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand, total...

Four reference soil and rock samples for measuring element availability in the Western Energy Regions
J.G. Crock, R. C. Severson
1980, Circular 841
Attaining acceptable precision in extractable element determinations is more difficult than in total element determinations. In total element determinations, dissolution of the sample is qualitatively checked by the clarity of the solution and the absence of residues. These criteria cannot be used for extracts. Possibilities for error are introduced in...
