Core logs from Owens, China, Searles, and Panamint basins, California
George I. Smith, Walden P. Pratt
1957, Bulletin 1045-A
Detailed logs of drill cores are presented in this report. The drill cores are of sediments from four basins that were occupied during the Pleistocene by a continuous chain of lakes. Owens Lake basin (one hole, 920 feet) contains fine-grained sediments and includes locally many diatoms and ostracodes. China Lake...
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...
Comparison of the isotopic abundance of U235 and U238 and the radium activity ratios in Colorado Plateau uranium ores
F. E. Senftle, L. Stieff, F. Cuttitta, P.K. Kuroda
1957, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (11) 189-193
The isotopic abundances of uranium and the radium activity ratios of eleven samples of uranium ore from the Colorado Plateau have been measured. No significant variation in the isotopic abundance of the uranium was noted; with'in the experimental error, the average U235/U238 ratio is 137.7. There is a significant variation in...
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...
Minor elements in Keweenawan lavas, Michigan
H. R. Cornwall, H. J. Rose Jr.
1957, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (12) 209-224
The distribution of minor elements in three basaltic flows of the Keweenawan series, of Michigan, is related to differentiation in the flows. Thus, nickel is most abundant in the early differentiates; nickel, chromium, and barium are generally deficient in the pegmatites, which formed late; whereas copper, vanadium, yttrium, and other...
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...
A fluorimetric study of the thorium-morin system
R.G. Milkey, M. H. Fletcher
1957, Journal of the American Chemical Society (79) 5425-5435
Thorium reacts with morin to yield a yellow complex that fluoresces when irradiated with ultraviolet light. The effect on the fluorescence of such variables as concentration of acid, alcohol, thorium, morin, and complex; time, temperature and wave length of exciting light are studied to determine experimental conditions yielding maximum fluorescence....
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...
Ringworm in a population of snowshoe hares
Lowell W. Adams, S. B. Salvin, W. J. Hadlow
1956, Journal of Mammalogy (37) 94-99
The occurrence of ringworm, or dermatomycosis, in wild animals has been rarely reported. DeLamater (1939) described infections of Trichophyton mentagrophytes in common gray squirrels on and near the Johns Hopkins University campus at Baltimore. Errington (1942) and Charles (1946) reported on the occurrence of T. mentagrophytes in 35 of 364 litters (9.6%) of muskrats...
Lignasan for bacterial gill disease
Robert R. Rucker, B. J. Earp, Roger E. Burrows
1956, Progressive Fish-Culturist (18) 75-77
Bacterial gill disease plagues salmon and trout in many hatcheries: some infections are sporadic, but others are continual. An inexpensive, easily applied, stable, safe chemical would be highly advantageous for treatment. The use of Roccal as a 1-hour treatment for bacterial gill disease (Fish 1947) was developed at the...
Long-term trends of ground-water levels in the United States
V.C. Fishel
1956, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (37) 429-435
Ground-water levels at the end of 1954 were at or near record-low stages throughout most of the southern two-thirds of the United States. These low stages, like those of the early 1930's, have led to frequent expression of the opinion that the water table throughout the country is continuously falling...
Tissue damage in salmonids caused by Halisidota argentata Packard
E. M. Wood, W. T. Yasutake
1956, Journal of Parasitology (42) 544-546
During the histological examination of a collection of wild and hatchery salmonids, a peculiar foreign body was occasionally observed in various organs, particularly in the viscera. These objects, usually accompanied by a focal inflammation, were observed in 10 of 75 samples of wild trout and salmon collected in Oregon and...
Ground water in Wisconsin
William James Drescher
1956, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 3
The purpose of this report is to describe in general the occurrence, source, movement, and use of ground water in Wisconsin in order that present problems of ground-water development may be understood and to point out the need for study and evaluation of the potential ground water available. Areas with...
