Report and recommendations on surface water resources investigation in Turkey
K. N. Phillips
1957, Report
Turkey is in a state of transition from an agricultural and pastoral economy to an economy that combines agriculture and industry. Such a transition includes use of water resources for water power, irrigation, manufacturing, and domestic uses. The control of streams for multiple purposes invariably leads to conflicts of interest....

Ground water in the Crow Creek-Sand Lake area, Brown and Marshall Counties, South Dakota
F. C. Koopman
1957, Water Supply Paper 1425
The Crow Creek Sand Lake area is in the northeastern part of South Dakota and consists of flat to gently rolling land. It is roughly 25 miles square and is bounded on the west by the James River, on the north by the North Dakota State line, and on the...
Core logs from two test holes near Kramer, San Bernardino County, California
Dayton Delbert Dickey
1957, Bulletin 1045-B
Between July 1954 and May 1955 two test holes were drilled near Kramer Calif., on the Mojave Desert. Four Corners test hole 1 was drilled in sec. 20 T. 10 N., R. 6 W., San Bernardino base line and meridian, to a depth of 1,561 feet in a basin filled...

History of Red Lakes fishery, 1917-38, with observations on population status
John Van Oosten, Hilary J. Deason
1957, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 229
A historical account traces the development of the commercial fisheries of the Red Lakes, Minnesota, from its inception in 1917 as a war measure through 1938. The trends of production and catch per unit of effort were followed for the principal species with notes on statistics of the minor...
The control of the upstream movement of fish with pulsated direct current
Alberton L. McLain
1957, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (86) 269-284
Alternating-current electromechanical devices installed in the mouths of streams have proved effective in stopping the spawning migrations of the parasitic sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) which has seriously damaged Great Lakes fisheries. In a few streams, excessive mortality has occurred to other fish at the alternating-current barriers. A direct-current unit was...

Thoron-meso-tartaric acid system for determination of thorium
Mary H. Fletcher, F. S. Grimaldi, Lillie B. Jenkins
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 963-967
In the spectrophotometric determination of thorium with thoron, meso-tartaric acid is used as a masking reagent for zirconium. The effects of different experimental variables such as the concentrations of the reagents, time, and temperature, and the behavior of 35 ions which might be present in thorium ores are discussed. A...
Semi-quantitative spectrographic analysis and rank correlation in geochemistry
F.J. Flanagan
1957, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (12) 315-322
The rank correlation coefficient, rs, which involves less computation than the product-moment correlation coefficient, r, can be used to indicate the degree of relationship between two elements. The method is applicable in situations where the assumptions underlying normal distribution correlation theory may not be satisfied. Semi-quantitative spectrographic analyses which are reported as...
Selective precipitation of thorium iodate from a tartaric acid-hydrogen peroxide medium application to rapid spectrophotometric determination of thorium in Silicate Rocks and in Ores
F. S. Grimaldi
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 848-851
This paper presents a selective iodate separation of thorium from nitric acid medium containing d-tartaric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is prevented by the use of 8quinolinol. A few micrograms of thorium are separated sufficiently clean from 30 mg. of such oxides as cerium, zirconium,...

U.S. Federal fishery research on the Great Lakes through 1956
Ralph Hile
1957, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 226
The major purpose of this publication is to present an annotated bibliography of papers resulting from Federal investigations on the Great Lakes fish and fisheries since the formal initiation of a continuing research program by the Fish and Wildlife Service. It is believed that this purpose can be served best...

Structure and growth of scales of yellow perch of Green Bay
Leonard S. Joeris
1957, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (86) 169-194
The appearance of the scales of yellow perch differs with the location on the fish's body. Comparison of scales of Green Bay perch taken above and below the lateral line reveals the former to have more sharply defined circuli and to exhibit fewer false annuli and less of the shading...
X-ray spectrographic determination of cesium and rubidium
J. M. Axelrod, I. Adler
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 1280-1281
An x-ray spectrographic method for the determination of rubidium and cesium was developed, using the internal-standard method and a four-channel flat-crystal spectrograph. The sensitivity is within 0.1% for cesia and 0.02% for rubidia; the precision is within 10% of the amount present. Results agree well with those obtained by flame...
Quantitative radiochemical methods for determination of the sources of natural radioactivity
J. N. Rosholt
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 1398-1408
Study of the state of equilibrium of any natural radioactive source requires determination of several key nuclides or groups of nuclides to find their contribution to the total amount of radioactivity. Alpha activity measured by scintillation counting is used for determination of protactinium-231, thorium-232, thorium-230, and radium-226. The chemical procedures...
Systematic variation of rare-earth elements in cerium-earth minerals
K. J. Murata, H. J. Rose Jr., M. K. Carron, J.J. Glass
1957, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (11) 141-161
In a continuation of a study reported previously, rare-earth elements and thorium have been determined in monazite, allanite, cerite, bastnaesite, and a number of miscellaneous cerium-earth minerals. A quantity called sigma (∑), which is the sum of the atomic percentages of La, Ce, and Pr, is proposed as an index...
Volumetric determination of uranium: Titanous sulfate as reductant before oxidimetric titration
J.S. Wahlberg, D. L. Skinner, L. F. Rader Jr.
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 954-957
Need for a more rapid volumetric method for the routine determination of uranium in uranium-rich materials has led to the development of a method that uses titanous sulfate as a reductant before oxidimetric titration. Separation of the hydrogen sulfide group is not necessary. Interfering elements precipitated by cupferron are removed...
