Estimating low-flow frequency for perennial Missouri Ozarks streams
John Skelton
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-59
A linear regression model, utilizing an independent variable described as the flow area of a stream, has been developed for use in estimating minimum streamflow at ungaged sites in the Ozarks region of Missouri. The basic premise in the method is that low-flow characteristics at any point on perennial Ozarks...

A special planning technique for stream-aquifer systems
C.T. Jenkins, O. James Taylor
1974, Open-File Report 74-242
The potential effects of water-management plans on stream-aquifer systems in several countries have been simulated using electric-analog or digital-computer models. Many of the electric-analog models require large amounts of hardware preparation for each problem to be solved and some become so bulky that they present serious space and access problems....

A program to compute aquifer-response coefficients
Thomas Maddock
1974, Open-File Report 75-612
An alternating direction technique is used to solve finite difference equations approximating the flow of water in an aquifer. The solutions produce response coefficients relating pumping from wells to drawdowns within those wells. The product of the response coefficient with the pumping values produces a linear algebraic technological function that...
Red Sea geochemistry
Frank T. Manheim
1974, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (23) 975-998
The Red Sea drillings reveal a number of new facets of the hot-brine-metalliferous system and other geochemical aspects of the sea, its sediments, and its past history as follows: 1) Dark shales rich in organic material, and containing enhanced Mo and V concentrations, are characteristic of Plio-Pleistocene strata in the...
Palynological applications of principal component and cluster analyses
David P. Adam
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 727-741
Two multivariate statistical methods are suggested to help describe patterns in pollen data that result from changes in the relative frequencies of pollen types produced by past climatic and environmental variations. These methods, based on a geometric model, compare samples by use of the product-moment correlation coefficient computed from data...
Geology and mineral resources of the Lehighton and Palmerton quadrangles, Carbon and Northampton Counties, Pennsylvania
Jack B. Epstein, W. D. Sevon, J. Douglas Glaeser
1974, Atlas 195cd
The Lehighton and Palmerton 73 1/2-minute quadrangles cover an area of about 112 square miles of diversified terrain in the folded Appalachian Mountain and Great Valley sections of the Valley and Ridge physiographic province in Carbon, Lehigh, and Northampton Counties, Pennsylvania. The Lehigh River and Blue Mountain are the prominent...
Lunar basin formation and highland stratigraphy
Keith A. Howard, D.E. Wilhelms, D. H. Scott
1974, Reviews of Geophysics and Space Physics (12) 309-327
Multiring impact basins, formed after solidification of the lunar crust, account for most or all premare regional deposits and structures expressed in the lunar landscape and for major topographic and gravity variations. A fresh basin has two or more concentric mountain rings, a lineated ejecta blanket, and secondary impact craters....
Eggshell thinning and residues in mallards one year after DDE exposure
M. A. Haegele, Rick H. Hudson
1974, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (2) 356-363
A group of 16 mallard hens (Anas platyrhynchos), that had been given feed containing 40 ppm ofp,p'-DDE for 96 days, laid eggs with shells averaging about 15%–20% thinner than those of ten control birds during and up to 42 days after treatment. In eight of the treated birds killed at...
Geohydrologic considerations in the management of radioactive waste
George D. DeBuchananne
1974, Nuclear Technology (24) 356-361
Nongaseous radioactive wastes occur as liquids containing high-level concentrations of radionuclides, liquids containing low concentrations of radionuclides, and solids contaminated by radioactivity. Whether released by accident or design into the earth or onto the earth’s surface, only water is capable of transporting significant quantities of radionuclides away from burial sites....
Calculated volumes of individual shield volcanoes along the Hawaiian-Emperor chain
Keith E. Bargar, Everett D. Jackson
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 545-550
Volume was calculated for the 107 individual volcanic shields along the Hawaiian Ridge Emperor Seamounts chain to help fulfill the need for volume data essential to determining eruption rates, fraction of mantle melted, and other parameters. Boundaries used were based principally upon location of rift zones related to each shield....
Feeding Ecology of Breeding Blue-Winged Teals
George A. Swanson, Mavis I. Meyer, Jerome R. Serie
1974, Journal of Wildlife Management (38) 396-407
A 5-year investigation of factors influencing the selection of foods consumed by blue-winged teals (Anas discors) during the breeding season in the glaciated prairie region of south-central North Dakota showed that birds first arriving on the breeding grounds consumed a diet consisting of 45 percent invertebrates. The proportion of animal...
Some interpretations of sequential bid pricing strategies
Emil D. Attanasi
1974, Management Science (20) 1413-1496
This note provides an alternative interpretation for sequential bid pricing strategies as initially formulated by Kortanek, Soden, and Sodaro [Kortanek, K. O., J. V. Soden, D. Sodabo. 1973. Profit analysis and sequential bid pricing models. Management Sci.20 (3, November) 396–417. In particular, bid prices obtained from the sequential model are shown to...
Yachats Basalt: An upper Eocene differentiated volcanic sequence in the Oregon Coast Range
Parke D. Snavely Jr., Norman S. MacLeod
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 395-403
The name Yadials Basalt is proposed for a sequence of largely subacrial basalt flows and breccias and associated dikes of late Eocene age that arc exposed along the central Oregon coast. These volcanic rocks, which have a maximum thickness of 750 m, are underlain by marine siltstonc of late Eocene...
Mineralogical studies of the nitrate deposits of Chile IV. Brüggenite, Ca(IO3)2-H2O, a new saline mineral
George E. Ericksen, Mary E. Mrose, John Marinenko
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 471-478
Brüggenite, Ca(I0 3 )2 - H2 0, is found in veins of high-purity soda niter in rhyolite tuff at Pampa Pique III, Oficina Lautaro, Chile, as long columnar anhedral crystals, as prismatic crystals, and as irregular anhedral crystals or encrusting masses. The mineral is colorless to bright yellow, and transparent...
Equilibria of cinnabar, stibnite, and saturated solutions in the system HgS-Sb2S3-Na2S-H2O from 150° to 250°C at 100 bars, with implications concerning ore genesis
R. E. Learned, G. Tunell, F. W. Dickson
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 457-466
The common occurrence of cinnabar and stibnite in well-defined districts in the same epithermal environments suggests that similar physiochemical processes are responsible for the genesis of the two minerals; however, cinnabar and stibnite tend to be segregated within these districts and also within individual deposits that contain both minerals. Where...
Estimating the “thickness” of the Boulder Batholith, Montana, from heat-flow and heat-productivity data
Robert I. Tilling
1974, Geology (2) 457-460
Estimates of minimum thickness of the Boulder batholith, computed using the linear relation between heat flow and heat productivity and assuming constant heat productivity with depth, are highly nonspecific. They can vary between about 3 and 20 km, depending on values of surface-rock heat productivity and values of assumed contribution...
