Studies on vertical and horizontal transmission of duck plague virus in apparently healthy waterfowl
Elizabeth C. Burgess
1978, Thesis
Healthy waterfowl were found to be carriers of duck plague (DP) virus. Black ducks (Anas rubripes) and Canada geese (Branta canadensis) surviving a natural outbreak of DP at Coloma, Wisconsin, in 1973 yielded DP virus in cloacal swabs taken four years postinfection. Experimental infection of previously unexposed mallard ducks (Anas...
Geology and ground water in Door County, Wisconsin, with emphasis on contamination potential in the Silurian dolomite
Marvin G. Sherrill
1978, Water Supply Paper 2047
Door County is in northeastern Wisconsin and is an area of 491 square miles. The county forms the main body of the peninsula between Green Bay and Lake Michigan. The land surface is an upland ridge controlled by the underlying bedrock. The west edge of the ridge forms an escarpment...

Selected uranium and uranium-thorium occurrences in New Hampshire
Wallace A. Bothner
1978, Open-File Report 78-482
Secondary uranium mineralization occurs in a northwest-trending fracture zone in the Devonian Concord Granite in recent rock cuts along Interstate Highway 89 near New London, New Hampshire. A detailed plane table map of this occurrence was prepared. Traverses using total gamma ray scintillometers throughout the pluton of Concord Granite identified...

Quality of water in Pascagoula and Escatawpa Rivers, Jackson County, Mississippi
Gene A. Bednar
1978, Open-File Report 78-913
The chemical and physical properties and the range of concentrations of most constituents in water in the Pascagoula and Escatawpa Rivers during the period May 17-19, 1977, varied rapidly between high and low tides, primarily as the result of interactions of freshwater inflow with highly mineralized Gulf waters. The water...

U.S. Geological Survey offshore program of resource and geo-environmental studies and topical investigations, Pacific-Arctic region
David William Scholl
1978, Open-File Report 78-422
The Geological Survey's marine geology investigations in the Pacific-Arctic area are presented in this report in the context of the underlying socio-economic problem of expanding the domestic production of oil and gas and other mineral and hard- and soft-rock resources while maintaining acceptable standards in the marine environment. The primary...
Mineralogical analyses of drill core samples from Midlands Gas Corporation wells, Federal 0370 No. 1 and Federal 2962 No. 1, Phillips County, Montana
Harry C. Starkey, Paul D. Blackmon, Dudley D. Rice
1978, Open-File Report 78-1001
This report records the mineralogy of core samples from two wells in Phillips County, Montana. These wells are located in the Bowdoin gas field in north-central Montana. The gas is produced from low-permeability reservoirs at shallow depths (less than 610 m) over an area of 1554 km2.This information is being...

The marine geology of the eastern Santa Barbara Channel, with particular emphasis on the ground water basins offshore from the Oxnard Plain, Southern California
H. Gary Greene, Stephen C. Wolf, Ken G. Blom
1978, Open-File Report 78-305
Marine geophysical investigations provide new data concerning the stratigraphy, tectonic and sedimentary history, and the ground water geology of the southeastern Santa Barbara Channel region. The offshore stratigraphy identified in seismic reflection profiles includes a succession of Neogene to Quaternary strata. The middle Miocene Conejo volcanics form an acoustical basement...

Heritability of tolerance for infectious hematopoietic necrosis in sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)
John D. McIntyre, Donald F. Amend
1978, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (107) 305-308
A hierarchical breeding design was used to demonstrate the heritability of tolerance for infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) in sockeye salmon. Oncorhynchus nerka. Heritability was about 30%, indicating that artificial selection may increase the number of fish that can tolerate the disease....
