Hydraulic tests in hole UAe-2, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance
1973, Report
Inflatable straddle packers were used to isolate and test 19 intervals ranging from 56 to 747 meters (183 to 2,450 feet) each in hole UAe-2, Amchitka Island, Alaska. Packer seats were poor in part of the hole because of unstable wall conditions. Thus, some zones had to be tested several...
Effect of salt on the response of birds to sucrose
J.G. Rogers Jr., O. Maller
1973, Physiological Psychology (1) 199-200
The preference of male red-winged blackbirds for solutions of sucrose and sucrose with 0.03 M sodium chloride was tested, using a two-bottle choice test. Preliminary experiments demonstrated that the birds were indifferent to 0.03 M NaCl in water. Both control and experimental animals exhibited indifference to the solutions at the...

Ground-water resources of Coke County, Texas
Clyde A. Wilson
1973, Report 166
Coke County, located in semiarid west-central Texas, where large ranches, small farms, and oil production are the main bases of the economy, has a small supply of ground and surface water. Of the approximately 1,900 acre-feet of fresh to moderately saline ground water used in 1968, industry used 880 acre-feet,...
Ground-water resources of Brazoria County, Texas
William M. Sandeen, John B. Wesselman
1973, Report 163
The Chicot and Evangeline aquifers are the only hydrologic units bearing fresh (less than 1,000 milligrams per liter dissolved solids) or slightly saline water (1,000-3,000 milligrams per liter dissolved solids in Brazoria County. These aquifers are composed of gravel, sand, silt, and clay of Pliocene, Pleistocene, and Holocene age....
Fluorite equilibria in thermal springs of the Snake River Basin, Idaho
C. E. Roberson, Robert Schoen
1973, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (1) 367-370
Some thermal water sources of the Snake River basin, Idaho, are near saturation with respect to fluorite. That mineral was identified by X-ray diffraction in precipitates induced in three water samples by adding sodium fluoride. The derived solubility product (KS0) for zero ionic strength was close to that calculated from...
A progress report on results of test drilling and ground-water investigations of the Snake Plain aquifer, southeastern Idaho: Part 1: Mud Lake Region, 1969-70 and Part 2: Observation Wells South of Arco and West of Aberdeen
E. G. Crosthwaite
1973, Water Information Bulletin 32
The results of drilling test holes to depths of approximately 1,000 feet in the Mud Lake region show that a large part of the region is underlain by both sedimentary deposits and basalt flows. At some locations, predominantly sedimentary deposits were penetrated; at others, basalt flows predominated. The so-called Mud...
Ground-water basic data for Griggs and Steele Counties, North Dakota
Joe S. Downey
1973, Bulletin 64-2
The objectives of the hydrologic investigation in Griggs and Steele Counties, N. Dak. (fig. 1) were to: (1) determine the location, extent, and nature of the major aquifers; (2) evaluate the occurrence and movement of ground water, including recharge and discharge; (3) estimate the quantities of water stored in the...
Volcanic studies: Part E: Eratosthenian volcanism in Mare Imbrium: source of youngest lava flows
Gerald G. Schaber
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report
Orbital photographs taken at low-Sun illumination during both the Apollo 15 (ref. 30-14) and Apollo 17 missions have provided excellent data on the lava flows in the southwestern Mare Imbrium. These photographs have been used recently to present a detailed photogeologic evaluation of these flows and their role in mare...
Mare ridges and related studies: Part D: small structures of the Taurus-Littrow region
David H. Scott
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Apollo 17 permission geologic studies of the Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon revealed numerous small structures, in both mare and terra, having somewhat similar morphologies and variously resembling fault scarps, flow fronts, and mare ridges. Many of these features are too small to be identified on Lunar Orbiter IV photographs,...
Surface electrical properties experiment
Gene Simmons, David Strangway, Peter Annan, Richard G. Baker, Lawrence Bannister, Raymond E. Brown, William Cooper, Dean Cubley, Joseph deBettencourt, Anthony W. England, John Groener, Jin-Au Kong, Gerald LaTorraca, James Meyer, Ved Nanda, David Redman, James Rossiter, Leung Tsang, Joseph Urner, Raymond Watts
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
The surface electrical properties (SEP) experiment was used to explore the subsurface material of the Apollo 17 landing site by means of electromagnetic radiation. The experiment was designed to detect electrical layering, discrete scattering bodies, and the possible presence of water. From the analysis of the data, it was expected...
Crater studies: Part A: lunar crater morphometry
Richard J. Pike
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Morphometry, the quantitative study of shape, complements the visual observation and photointerpretation in analyzing the most outstanding landforms of the Moon, its craters (refs. 32-1 and 32-2). All three of these interpretative tools, which were developed throughout the long history of telescopic lunar study preceding the Apollo Program, will continue...
