Toxicity of six bird control chemicals to aquatic organisms
L. L. Marking, J. H. Chandler Jr.
1981, Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (26) 705-716
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has supported research on control methods for nuisance birds, mammals, plants, and fish. Although chemical agents have shown great promise, resource managers and regulatory agencies must be assured that these materials are safe to man and the environment. Standardized toxicity tests are conducted...

Simulative models for the analysis of ground-water flow in Vekol Valley, the Waterman Wash area, and the Bosque area, Maricopa and Pina Counties, Arizona
D. T. Matlock
1981, Open-File Report 82-77
Simulative ground-water flow models for Vekol Valley, the Waterman Wash area, and the Bosque area were developed for use in evaluating alternatives for developing a ground-water supply for the Ak-Chin Indian Community. The hydraulic properties of the basin-fill deposits used in the models were estimated primarily from aquifer tests made...
Influence of PCBs in water on uptake and elimination of DDT and DDE by lake trout
Robert J. Hesselberg, Lawrence W. Nicholson
1981, Journal of Environmental Quality (10) 315-318
Researchers predicted that several hundred years would be required before DDT (1,1,1 trichloro-2,2-bis [P-chlorophyl] ethane) and its metabolites were likely to decrease to nondetectable levels in Lake Michigan. But following the ban on DDT in 1970, residues of total DDT in Lake Michigan lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) declined rapidly from...
Strains of infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) virus may be identified by structural protein differences
J.C. Leong, Ya Li Hsu, H. Mark Engelking, Daniel M. Mulcahy
D. P. Anderson, editor(s)
1981, Conference Paper, Fish biologics: Serodiagnostics and vaccines (Developments in biological standardization, volume 49)
The development of an effective vaccine to infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) in fish requires a knowledge of the virus serotypes in nature. At least two serotypes were found among three IHNV strains (12). Attempts in our laboratory to extend this study with additional virus strains by classical immunological techniques...
Variations in the correlation of body size with concentrations of Cu and Ag in the bivalve Macoma balthica
Carol R. Strong, Samuel N. Luoma
1981, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (38) 1059-1064
The relationship between body size and concentrations of Cu and Ag varied from strongly positive to strongly negative in four populations of the bivalve Macoma balthica in San Francisco Bay. The correlations appeared to be influenced by the degree of enrichment in tissues, size-dependent differences and seasonal variations in growth rate, and...
Identification of kaolins and associated minerals in altered volcanic rocks by infrared spectroscopy
Graham R. Hunt, Robert B. Halley
1981, Clays and Clay Minerals (29) 76-78
Mid-infrared spectroscopy (2.5-50 /µm) has been extensively used to identify and characterize clays and associated minerals in rocks and soils, with particular emphasis on the 3-, 10-, and 20-/µm regions (Farmer and Russell, 1967; Farmer, 1968; White, 1971; Van der Marel and Beutelspacher, 1976). However, application of mid-infrared spectroscopy in...
Flow through fractures
C. E. Neuzil, James V. Tracy
1981, Water Resources Research (17) 191-199
Flow through fractures is often idealized as flow between two parallel plates (plane Poiseuille flow). The opening or aperture between parallel plates is unambiguous and its relation to flowrate is well known. However, fractures in rock have uneven walls and a variable aperture. A model for flow in a fracture...
Some regional costs of a synthetic fuel industry: The case of illinois
E. D. Attanasi, E.K. Green
1981, The Annals of Regional Science (15) 43-52
The Federal Government's efforts to induce development of a coal-based synthetic fuel industry include direct subsidies, tax concessions, and assurances that it will purchase the industry's output, even if above the market price. In this note it is argued that these subsidies will enable this industry to secure a region's...
Seismic evidence for an extensive gas-bearing layer at shallow depth, offshore from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
G. Boucher, E. Reimnitz, E. Kempema
1981, Cold Regions Science and Technology (4) 63-71
High-resolution seismic reflection data, recorded offshore from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, were processed digitally to determine the reflectivity structure of the uppermost layers of the seafloor. A prominent reflector, found at 27 m below the mud line (water depths 7-9 m), has a negative reflection coefficient greater than 0.5. The large...
Minor and trace element geochemistry of volcanic rocks dredged from the Galapagos spreading center: Role of crystal fractionation and mantle heterogeneity
D.A. Clague, F.A. Frey, G. Thompson, S. Rindge
1981, Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth (86) 9469-9482
A wide range of rock types (abyssal tholeiite, Fe-Ti-rich basalt, andesite, and rhyodacite) were dredged from near 95°W and 85°W on the Galapagos spreading center. Computer modeling of major element compositions has shown that these rocks could be derived from common parental magmas by successive degrees of fractional crystallization. However,...
Reactor-released radionuclides in Susquehanna River sediments
C.R. Olsen, I.L. Larsen, N.H. Cutshall, J.F. Donoghue, O.P. Bricker, H.J. Simpson
1981, Nature (294) 242-245
Three Mile Island (TMI) and Peach Bottom (PB) reactors have introduced 137Cs, 134Cs, 60Co, 58Co and several other anthropogenic radionuclides into the lower Susquehanna River. Here we present the release history for these nuclides (Table 1) and radionuclide concentration data (Table 2) for sediment samples collected in the river and...
Pb210 geochronology and trace metal concentrations of sediments from Upper Klamath Lake and Lake Euwana, Oregon.
E.A. Martin, C. A. Rice
1981, Northwest Science (55) 269-280
Rates of sedimentation calculated from analyses of 210Pb activities in cores from two shallow lakes whose mean depths are 2.4m, Upper Klamath Lake and Lake Euwana (Klamath County, Oregon), indicate that they are filling at approximately 3.0mm/yr. Average sedimentation rates for compaction-corrected cores range from 0.9mm/yr to 8.5mm/yr or from...

Hydrocarbon gases from sediment samples recovered by gravity coring at each of the stations were analyzed by gas chromatography. Data are...
Potential for geophysical experiments in large scale tests
James H. Dieterich
1981, Geophysical Research Letters (8) 653-656
Potential research applications for large-specimen geophysical experiments include measurements of scale dependence of physical parameters and examination of interactions with heterogeneities, especially flaws such as cracks. In addition, increased specimen size provides opportunities for improved recording resolution and greater control of experimental variables. Large-scale experiments using...
A transient laboratory method for determining the hydraulic properties of 'tight' rocks-I. Theory
P. A. Hsieh, J.V. Tracy, C. E. Neuzil, J.D. Bredehoeft, Stephen E. Silliman
1981, International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts (18) 245-252
Transient pulse testing has been employed increasingly in the laboratory to measure the hydraulic properties of rock samples with low permeability. Several investigators have proposed a mathematical model in terms of an initial-boundary value problem to describe fluid flow in a transient pulse test. However, the solution of this problem...
Crystal growth of calcite from calcium bicarbonate solutions at constant PCO2 and 25°C: a test of a calcite dissolution model
Michael M. Reddy, Niel Plummer, E. Busenberg
1981, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (45) 1281-1289
A highly reproducible seeded growth technique was used to study calcite crystallization from calcium bicarbonate solutions at 25°C and fixed carbon dioxide partial pressures between 0.03 and 0.3 atm. The results are not consistent with empirical crystallization models that have successfully described calcite growth at low PCO2 (< 10−3 atm). Good agreement was...

Patrick G. Hatcher, Irving A. Breger, W.L. Earl
1981, Organic Geochemistry (3) 49-55
Various wood fragments buried in sediments under anaerobic conditions for from 450 yr to approximately 8 Myr have been examined by solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance. Cellulose and other carbohydrates, the major components of Holocene wood, have been shown to be gradually hydrolyzed or otherwise lost under the conditions of...
U-Th-Pb systematics in hydrothermally altered granites from the Granite Mountains, Wyoming
J. S. Stuckless, Ignatius T. Nkomo, B. R. Doe
1981, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (45) 635-645
U-Th-Pb systematics were investigated in 15 samples representing two types of deuterically altered Archean granite (albitized and silicified-epidotized granite) from the Granite Mountains, Wyoming. The loss of K-feldspar during both types of deuteric alteration was accompanied by an extreme reduction of Pb content from roughly 40 ppm to less than...
