Hydrologic budget of the Beaverdam Creek basin, Maryland
W. C. Rasmussen, Gordon E. Andreasen
1959, Water Supply Paper 1472
A hydrologic budget is a statement accounting for the water gains and losses for selected periods in an area. Weekly measurements of precipitation streamflow, surface-water storage, ground-water stage, and soil resistivity were made during a 2year period, April 1, 1950, to March 28, 1952, in the Beaverdam Creek basin, Wicomico...

Charles Lee Roy Holt
1959, Water Supply Paper 1422
The Edwards limestone of Cretaceous age is the principal water-bearing formation in Medina County and makes up the major part of a ground-water reservoir, or aquifier, which in places includes thinner limestone formations both above and below the Edwards. The Glen Rose limestone, also of Cretaceous age, yields moderate amounts...

1959, GSA Bulletin (70) 1033-1046
A study of Imuruk Lake, a large, shallow lake in north-central Seward Peninsula, Alaska, illuminates the climatic history of northwestern Alaska and the tectonic history of central Seward Peninsula during Pleistocene and Recent time. Special interest attaches to the older lake sediments, because they contain evidence concerning the climate, fauna, and...

The tritium and deuterium content of 24 samples of atmospheric hydrogen collected at ground level near Buffalo. N.Y. (U.S.A.). Hamburg (Germany), and Nürnberg (Germany) during 1954 to 1956 was measured.At the beginning of 1954 the T/H-ratio was found to have been 9.18 · 10-14 i.e. about a factor of 10 higher...
Determination of uranium in zircon
F. Cuttitta, G. J. Daniels
1959, Analytica Chimica Acta (20) 430-434
A routine fluorimetric procedure is described for the determination of trace amounts of uranium in zircon. It employs the direct extraction of uranyl nitrate with ethyl acetate using phosphate as a retainer for zirconium. Submicrogram amounts or uranium are separated in the presence of 100,000 times the amount of zirconium....

K. J. Murata, C. V. Dutra, da Costa, J.J.R. Branco
1959, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (16) 1-14
Two zoned pegmatites in south-eastern Minas Gerais were sampled in detail for their content of monazite and xenotime and the monazite was analysed for certain of the rare-earth elements and thorium.The ratio of xenotime to monazite increases in both pegmatites from the wall toward the quartz core. The content of...

Eugene C. Robertson, Richard A. Robie, Kenneth G. Books
1958, Trace Elements Memorandum 1048
This summary is the result of a search of the available literature. Emphasis is placed on the mechanical and calorimetric properties of salt; the measurements of elastic, thermal, magnetic, and mass properties of salt are merely tabulated. Under hydrostatic pressure < 1,000 kg/cm2 at room temperature, salt deforms plastically to...

Selected topics of fluid mechanics
Carl E. Kindsvater
1958, Water Supply Paper 1369-A
The fundamental equations of fluid mechanics are specific expressions of the principles of motion which are ascribed to Isaac Newton. Thus, the equations which form the framework of applied fluid mechanics or hydraulics are, in addition to the equation of continuity, the Newtonian equations of energy and momentum. These basic...
The environmental control of sedimentary iron minerals
N.K. Huber
1958, Economic Geology (53) 123-140
An Eh-pH stability diagram is developed for hematite, magnetite, siderite, pyrite, and iron sulfide that indicates the relative position of their stability fields in a normal sea water system. With the exception of the magnetite-siderite relationship, Eh is much more critical than pH. In general terms, hematite is stable under...
The solusphere - its inferences and study
F. H. Rainwater, W. F. White
1958, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (14) 244-249
Water is a fundamental geologic agent active in rock decomposition, erosion, and synthesis. Solutes in water are of particular interest to geochemists as sources of raw material for synthesis or as products of decomposition. When geochemical studies move from the laboratory into natural environment many variables relating to solute hydrology...
Reconnaissance study of erosion and deposition produced by the flood of August 1955 in Connecticut
M. Gordon Wolman, J.P. Eiler
1958, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (39) 1-14
A large area in the valley bottoms in Connecticut was inundated by the flood of August 1955. Relative to the total area flooded that part permanently modified by the flow was surprisingly small. Although great in some places, the distribution of these permanent modifications of channel and flood plain was...
Mass control of insects: The effects on fish and wildlife
Oliver B. Cope, Paul F. Springer
1958, Bulletin of the Entomological Society of America (4) 52-56
The mass control of insects carried on during the past ten years has made possible the economical suppression and, in a few instances, the near eradication of pest insect populations over widespread areas. These large operations, usually featuring the use of the airplane for applying insecticides quickly and cheaply, have...
The deuterium content of water in some volcanic glasses
I. Friedman, R. L. Smith
1958, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (15) 218-228
The deuterium-hydrogen composition (relative to Lake Michigan water = 0.0) of water extractsd from coexisting perlite and obsidian from eleven different localities was determined. The water content of the obsidians is generally from 0.09 to 0.29 per cent by weight, though two samples from near Olancha, California, contain about 0.92...
Volumes and surface areas of pendular rings
W. Rose
1958, Journal of Applied Physics (29) 687-691
A packing of spheres is taken as a suitable model of porous media. The packing may be regular and the sphere size may be uniform, but in general, both should be random. Approximations are developed to give the volumes and surface areas of pendular rings that exist at points of sphere...

G. C. Finger, R.H. White
1958, Journal of Organic Chemistry (23) 1612-1613
The hypophosphorous acid-cuprous oxide deamination method on nitroanilines has been modified so that the nitro compounds which are formed are reduced in turn by cuprous oxide to the corresponding amines. Over-all yields of 55-65% are reported for three halogenated nitroanilines....
