Spectrophotometric determination of micro quantities of zinc in rocks
C. Huffman Jr., H. H. Lipp, L. F. Rader
1963, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (27) 209-215
A chemical method is presented for the determination of microgram amounts of zinc in rocks. Zinc is absorbed on anion-exchange resin from 1.2 M hydrochloric acid and eluted with 0.01 M hydrochloric acid. A diethyldithiocarbamate separation removes traces of interfering elements from the eluate. The zinc-diethyldithiocarbamate complex is extracted into...

Applications of geohydrologic concepts in geology
G. B. Maxey, J. E. Hackett
1963, Journal of Hydrology (1) 35-45
Subsurface water, an active agent in many geologic proceses, must be considered in interpreting geologic phenomena. Principles of the occurrence, distribution, and movement of subsurface waters are well established and readily applicable. In many interpretations in geologic literature, geohydrologic principles have been employed realistically, but in many others these principles...
New chemical determinations of zinc in basalts, and rocks of similar composition
L. F. Rader, W. C. Swadley, C. Huffman Jr., H. H. Lipp
1963, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (27) 695-714
New determinations of zinc in 124 basalts by the chemical method described (Huff-Manet al. 1963) are reported. Average zinc values, in per cent, for basalts from diverse regions are as follows: Idaho, 28 samples, 0.013; Hawaii, 33 samples, 0.010; Connecticut, 27 samples, 0.0090; Oregon, 17 samples, 0.0081; California, 8 samples,...
Quantitation of microorganic compounds in waters of the Great Lakes by adsorption on activated carbon
Stacy L. Daniels, Lloyd L. Kempe, E. S. Graham, Alfred M. Beeton
1963, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the 6th Conference on Great Lakes Research
Microorganic compounds in waters of Lakes Michigan and Huron have been sampled by adsorption on activated carbon in filters installed aboard the M/V Cisco and at the Hammond Bay Laboratory of the U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. The organic compounds were eluted from the carbon according to techniques developed at the U.S....
A plane-type soil sampler
Paul J. Frey
1963, Progressive Fish-Culturist (25) 46-49
While studying the effects of pesticides on fish and their environment for the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, I have developed a soil sampler that will collect a thin uniform layer of sediment from pond and stream bottoms. As it is becoming increasingly important to analyze the residual deposits...
Diffusion of herbicides through plastic film
W.R. Bridges, Herman O. Sanders
1963, Progressive Fish-Culturist (25) 213-214
Plastic film have been used by fishery workers as barriers to subdivide experimental ponds in order to assess the value of some chemical treatment, and as test vessels to contain dilute solutions or suspensions of toxic chemicals in experiments conducted to establish tolerance levels of these chemicals for fish....
A primer on ground water
Helene L. Baldwin, C. L. McGuinness
1963, Report
Most of us don't have to look for water. We grew up either in big cities where there was a public water supply, or in small towns or on farms where the water came from wells. But there are some people to whom finding a new supply of water is...

Deuterium in Iceland waters
I. Friedman, T. Sigurgeirsson, O. Gardarsson
1963, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (27) 553-561
From the deuterium analysis of 159 samples of water collected in Iceland from hot-water boreholes, cold and hot springs, rivers and rain, the geographical distribution of deuterium in surface waters is plotted. On the basis of the deuterium analysis, the water from boreholes near Reykjavik does not originate from local...

Study of multicomponent mixtures in solution with a vertical-axis transmission-type filter-fluorometer
M. H. Fletcher
1963, Analytical Chemistry (35) 278-288
Fluorescence intensity, sensitivity, and the effect of diverse ions are discussed in relation to chemical equilibrium and the general equation for fluorescence. High sensitivity is the common denominator in eliminating or reducing all types of interference and the general equation is the key for quickly selecting conditions that give maximum...
Implications of the minor element content of some major streams of the world
W. H. Durum, J. Haffty

Of 15 or more minor elements in the world's principal river waters only aluminum, iron, manganese, barium and strontium range much over 100 μgl">100 μgl. (parts per billion). Most minor elements range at or below 100 μg1">100 μg1. and have...
Antiferromagnetism of UO2⋅2H2O
T. Pankey, F. E. Senftle, F. Cuttitta
1963, Journal of Chemical Physics (39) 1702-1706
Magnetic susceptibility measurements have been made on UO2·xH2O for x=1.78 to x=2.13, and from 77° to 375°K. As the value of x decreased the susceptibility increased. Both these data and structural arguments imply that the formula of this compound is U(OH)4 rather than the dihydrate form. Based on this concept the data have been corrected...

Some climatic indicators in the period A.D. 1200-1400 in New Mexico
Luna Bergere Leopold, Estella B. Leopold, F. Wendorf
1963, Conference Paper
Three centuries before Columbus landed in America, the alluvial valleys of the south-western United States teemed with activity. The indigenous peoples had been building for 300 years a culture centred around community life based on flood-water farming and on hunting. A large number of pueblos had developed on sites earlier...
Simple measurements of morphological changes in river channels and hillslopes
J.P. Miller, Luna Bergere Leopold
1963, Conference Paper
One of the principal types of observational evidence on climatic changes in the recent geologic past is in river position and elevation. It is well known that river channels, particularly those flowing through alluvium or on relatively soft bedrock, tend to develop flood plains by lateral migration of the channel....

Population analyses, variation and behavior of Anguispira alternata alternata
Charles L. Douglas
1963, Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science (66) 186-194
Anguispira alternata alternata is one of the more common terrestrial snails in the United States. Gregarious by nature, these snails can be collected in large numbers from wooded flood-plains and moist upland wooded areas. "The range is eastern Canada and the United States, from Nova Scotia to Lake of...
Food of the bloater, Coregonus hoyi, in Lake Michigan
LaRue Wells, Alfred M. Beeton
1963, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (92) 245-255
Stomachs were examined from 1,469 Lake Michigan bloaters, Coregonus [Leucichthys] hoyi, greater than 7 inches long which contained identifiable food. An additional 461 ciscoes less than 7 inches long were incorporated into the study; these latter fish were not positively identified, but most of them undoubtedly were bloaters. The specimens...
