Observed variations in the strontium concentration of sea water
E.E. Angino, G.K. Billings, N. Andersen
1966, Chemical Geology (1) 145-153
On samples obtained from five widely separated areas of the North Atlantic Ocean 91 determinations of strontium were made. These include surface and deep-water samples from both the cold North Atlantic area and the warm subtropical Caribbean area. The results differ from...
Composition and evolution of the continental crust as suggested by seismic observations
L. C. Pakiser, R. Robinson
1966, Tectonophysics (3) 547-557
The average composition of the continental crust is more mafic than hitherto supposed. The conterminous United States can be divided, on the basis of seismic structure, into ten regions. The seven western and the three eastern regions can be termed western and eastern...

Life history of the gizzard shad, Dorosoma cepedianum (Le Sueur), in western Lake Erie
Anthony Bodola
1966, Fishery Bulletin (65) 391-425
The rapid increase in the stocks of gizzard shad in Lake Erie since 1950 unquestionably had an important effect on the ecology of the lake. The present study, based on almost 24,000 fish collected by various means in 1952-55 in or near the island area of western Lake Erie was...

Effects of weathering on the UPb ages of zircon from the Morton Gneiss, Minnesota
T. W. Stern, S. S. Goldich, M. F. Newell
1966, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (1) 369-371
Weathering has caused large losses of lead from the zircon in the residual clay derived from the Morton Gneiss of southwestern Minnesota, drastically reducing the 206Pb/238U and the 207Pb/235U ages. The 207Pb/206Pb age probably has not been significantly affected. Loss of lead by leaching during weathering has not been adequately...
Seasonal and depth distribution of larval bloaters (Coregonus hoyi) in southeastern Lake Michigan
LaRue Wells
1966, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (95) 388-396
Larvae of bloaters (Coregonus hoyi) were sampled systematically in southeastern Lake Michigan, off Saugatuck, Michigan, from 9 April to 22 August 1964; limited additional sampling was done on 15 October. All collections were made with a 1-m plankton net of 0.66-mm mesh. A standard series of samples consisted of...
Preparation of dart tags for use in the field
Joseph R. Higham
1966, Progressive Fish-Culturist (28) 205
Tagging in the field requires an efficient method of preparing the tags for dispensation under a wide range of conditions. The method described here was very efficient in an extensive tagging program on Oahe Reservoir, South Dakota....
Mineral exploration and soil analysis using in situ neutron activation
F. E. Senftle, A.F. Hoyte
1966, Nuclear Instruments and Methods (42) 93-103
A feasibility study has been made to operate by remote control an unshielded portable positive-ion accelerator type neutron source to induce activities in the ground or rock by “in situ” neutron irradiation. Selective activation techniques make it possible to detect some thirty or...
Disequilibrium of the 238U series in basalt
B.L.K. Somayajulu, M. Tatsumoto, J.N. Rosholt, R. J. Knight
1966, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (1) 387-391
Radioisotope analyses of basalt samples from Hawaii, Japan, and Iwo Jima show that: (1)234U and238U are virtually in radioactive equilibrium, (2)230Th exceeds equilibrium values in all these samples, (3)210Pb concentrations range from 10–200% of the equilibrium values and average 30% deficient, and...

The relation between molecular structure and biological activity among mononitrophenols containing halogens
Vernon C. Applegate, B. G. H. Johnson, Manning A. Smith
1966, Technical Report 11
The results of tests of the biological activity of certain nitrophenols containing halogen are reported. Some of these are shown to be significantly more toxic to larvae of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus L.) than to fishes. It is proposed that the death of lamprey larvae exposed to these compounds...

Some Debye temperatures from single-crystal elastic constant data
R. A. Robie, J.L. Edwards
1966, Journal of Applied Physics (37) 2659-2663
The mean velocity of sound has been calculated for 14 crystalline solids by using the best recent values of their single‐crystal elastic stiffness constants. These mean sound velocities have been used to obtain the elastic Debye temperatures θDe for these materials. Models of the three wave velocity surfaces for calcite are illustrated....

Determination of Columbia River flow times from Pasco, Washington using radioactive tracers introduced by the Hanford reactors
Jack L. Nelson, R.W. Perkins, W.L. Haushild
1966, Water Resources Research (2) 31-39
Radioactive tracers introduced into the Columbia River in cooling water from the Hanford reactors were used to measure flow times downstream from Pasco, Washington, as far as Astoria, Oregon. The use of two tracer methods was investigated. One method used the decay of a steady release of Na24 (15-hour half-life)...
Sediment movement on the continental shelf near Washington and Oregon
M. Grant Gross, Jack L. Nelson
1966, Science (154) 879-885
The nuclides zinc-65 and cobalt-60 associated with river-borne particulate matter are incorporated in sediment on the Continental Shelf near the Colum- ia River. Changes in the relative concentrations of zinc-65 and cobalt-60 and in the ratio of the activity of zinc-65 and cobalt-60 suggest that radioactive sediment moves northward 12...

Stream quality in Appalachia as related to coal-mine drainage, 1965
James E. Biesecker, J. Richard George
1966, Circular 526
A stream-quality reconnaissance at 318 locations in May 1965 offered the first opportunity for a contemporaneous regional collection and appraisal of water-quality data in Appalachia. The results provide a means of regional comparison of the influence of coal-mine drainage on stream quality at approximately median streamflow. The results disclose that...
Some alkali and titania analyses of tektites before and after G-1 precision monitoring
D.B. Tatlock
1966, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (30) 123-128
A comparison of 55 older analyses of Australasian tektites with 110 modern precisely monitored analyses suggests that more than half of the older alkali and titania determinations are decidedly inaccurate and misleading. Deviations of the older analyses from the restricted values of the...
The tullibee
Stanford H. Smith
1966, Minnesota Conservation Volunteer (29) 49-50
Early explorers and settlers of the northeastern United States and southern Canada found lakes teeming with fish that had white flesh and were good to eat. The larger of these they called whitefish, differentiating two kinds- the lake whitefish and the round or menominee whitefish. These looked much...
