1979, Open-File Report 79-431
HYPOELLIPSE is a computer program for determining the hypocenters of local or near regional earthquakes and for each event the ellipsoid which encloses the one standard deviation region. Traveltimes are determined from a horizontally layered crustal structure or from a linear increase of velocity with depth. Arrival times for the...

1979, Open-File Report 79-1463
Measurements of the helium concentration of soil samples collected and stored in Vacutainer-brand evacuated glass tubes show that Vacutainers are reliable containers for soil collection. Within the limits of reproducibility, helium content of soils appears to be independent of variations in soil temperature, barometric pressure, and quantity of soil moisture...

1979, Open-File Report 79-207
Methods for the determination of picric acid (2,4,6, trinitrophenol) in water employing high-performance liquid chromatography are presented. Ion-pair chromatography under an isocratic condition is performed on a reverse-phase column. Picric acid can be determined directly in water at a lower detection limit of 10 micrograms per liter. By use of...
