Sterility method of pest control and its potential role in an integrated sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control program
Lee H. Hanson, Patrick J. Manion
1980, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (37) 2108-2117
The sterility method of pest control could be an effective tool in the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control program in the Great Lakes. Some of the requirements for its successful application have been met. A field study demonstrated that the release of male sea lampreys, sterilized by the injection of...

Heat flow and energetics of the San Andreas fault zone
A.H. Lachenbruch, J.H. Sass
1980, Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth (85) 6185-6223
Approximately 100 heat flow measurements in the San Andreas fault zone indicate (1) there is no evidence for local factional heating of the main fault trace at any latitude over a 1000-km length from Cape Mendocino to San Bernardino, (2) average heat flow is high (∼2 HFU, ∼80 mW m−2)...
Declination and inclination errors in experimentally deposited specularite-bearing sand
S.L. Bressler, D. P. Elston
1980, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (48) 227-232
Naturally disaggregated specularite-bearing sandstone from the Triassic Moenkopi Formation, artificially deposited in controlled magnetic fields of ∼5 × 10−2 mT, acquires a stable remanent magnetization that has systematic errors in inclination and declination. Inclinations about 12° shallower than the applied fields are...
Geothermal system at 21°N, East Pacific Rise: physical limits on geothermal fluid and role of adiabatic expansion
J. L. Bischoff
1980, Science (207) 1465-1469
Pressure-volume-temperature relations for water at the depth of the magma chamber at 21°N on the East Pacific Rise suggest that the maximum subsurface temperature of the geothermal fluid is about 420°C. Both the chemistry of the discharging fluid and thermal balance considerations indicate that the effective water/rock ratios in the...
Asymmetric measures of association, closed data, and multivariate analysis
M. Hohn, E.B. Nuhfer
1980, Journal of the International Association for Mathematical Geology (12) 235-246
The association between constant-sum variables Xiand Xjexpressed as percentages can be calculated as a product-moment correlation between Xiand Xj/(100 - Xi) and a correlation between Xjand Xi/(100 - Xj). An asymmetric, square matrix may be formed from these coefficients, and multivariate analysis performed by two methods: singular value decomposition and...
An econometric model of the U.S. secondary copper industry: Recycling versus disposal
M.E. Slade
1980, Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (7) 123-141
In this paper, a theoretical model of secondary recovery is developed that integrates microeconomic theories of production and cost with a dynamic model of scrap generation and accumulation. The model equations are estimated for the U.S. secondary copper industry and used to assess the impacts that various policies and future...
U-Pb ages of uraniferous opals and implications for the history of beryllium, fluorine, and uranium mineralization at Spor Mountain, Utah
K.R. Ludwig, D. A. Lindsey, R. A. Zielinski, K. R. Simmons
1980, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (46) 221-232
The U-Pb isotope systematics of uraniferous opals from Spor Mountain, Utah, were investigated to determine the suitability of such material for geochronologic purposes, and to estimate the timing of uranium and associated beryllium and fluorine mineralization. The results indicate that uraniferous...
Type C botulism losses at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge, 1978
R. M. Windingstad, R. M. Duncan, R.L. Drieslein
1980, Transactions of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters (68) 208-211
Avian botulism was responsible for the death of over 6,000 waterfowl at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin in 1978. The outbreak occurred in early fall on a flooded 250 hectare fallow agricultural area on the northeast end of the refuge. The species most severely affected was the green-winged teal...

Maps showing hydrologic conditions in the San Francisco River area, Greenlee County, Arizona, 1978: A reconnaissance study
Larry J. Mann
1980, Open-File Report 80-441
The San Francisco River area includes about 950 square miles in Greenlee County in east-central Arizona. Water-resources development has been slight compared with that in many areas in Arizona. In 1978 about 500 acre-feet of water was diverted for irrigation from the San Francisco and Blue Rivers, and about 550...
Landsat detection of oil from natural seeps
M. Deutsch, J. E. Estes

Oil on the ocean surface from the natural seeps in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, could not be detected on frames of any of the four bands of standard Landsat positive or negative film transparencies, nor could the slicks be detected using digital scaling, density slicing, or ratioing techniques. Digital...

Clarification of the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds on the effective elastic moduli of polycrystals with hexagonal, trigonal, and tetragonal symmetries
J.P. Watt, L. Peselnick
1980, Journal of Applied Physics (51) 1525-1531
Bounds on the effective elastic moduli of randomly oriented aggregates of hexagonal, trigonal, and tetragonal crystals are derived using the variational principles of Hashin and Shtrikman. The bounds are considerably narrower than the widely used Voigt and Reuss bounds. The Voigt-Reuss-Hill average lies within the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds in nearly all...

In Yosemite National Park, 92 percent of the parties using back country areas had permits. Parties without permits were smaller in size and stayed for shorter periods of time. For all parties with permits, 62 percent made changes to their trips. Parties changing their trips in both time and...
Growth rates of manganese nodules in Oneida Lake, New York
W.S. Moore, W.E. Dean, S. Krishnaswami, D.V. Borole
1980, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (46) 191-200
226Ra is used to document the growth histories of six manganese nodules from Oneida Lake, New York. Detailed sectioning and analysis reveal that there are discontinuous gradients in226Ra content in these samples. These gradients result from periods of rapid growth (>1...
Travel time variation on backcountry trails
J. W. van Wagtendonk, J.M. Benedict
1980, Journal of Leisure Research (12) 99-106
Numerous interrelated factors influence the travel times of hikers and riders on backcountry trails. This study sought to quantify those factors which were thought to be most important in affecting trail speeds. The travel times of 897 backpacking parties, 634 day hiking parties, and 111 riding parties were obtained from...
High-sensitivity aeromagnetic survey of the U.S. Atlantic continental margin

1980, Geophysics (45) 1813-1846
The U.S. Geological Survey contracted a high-sensitivity, digital aeromagnetic survey that was flown over the U.S. Atlantic continental margin over a period of 15 months between 1974 and 1976. The 185,000 km of profile data have a relative accuracy approaching a few tenths of a nanotesla, which allowed compilation into...

Shallow, low-permeability reservoirs of northern Great Plains: Assessment of their natural gas resources.
Dudley D. Rice, George W. Shurr
1980, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (64) 969-987
Major resources of natural gas are entrapped in low-permeability, low-pressure reservoirs at depths less than 4,000 ft (1,200 m) in the northern Great Plains. This shallow gas is the product of the immature stage of hydrocarbon generation and is referred to as biogenic gas. Prospective low-permeability, gas-bearing reservoirs range in...
