Application of remote sensing techniques for appraising changes in wildlife habitat
Harvey K. Nelson, Albert T. Klett, John E. Johnston
1971, Conference Paper, International Workshop in Earth Resources Survey Systems
An attempt was made to investigate the potential of airborne, multispectral, line scanner data acquisition and computer-implemented automatic recognition techniques for providing useful information about waterfowl breeding habitat in North Dakota.

B. C. Murray, M. J. S. Belton, G. Edward Danielson, M. E. Davies, G. P. Kuiper, B. T. O’Leary, V.E. Suomi, N.J. Trask
1971, Icarus (15) 153-173
This paper describes the results of study of an imaging experiment planned for the 1973 Mariner Venus/Mercury flyby mission. Scientific objectives, mission constraints, analysis of alternative systems, and the rationale for final choice are presented. Severe financial constraints ruled out the best technical alternative for flyby imaging, a film/readout system,...
Hydrogeochemical effects of injecting wastes into a limestone aquifer near Pensacola, Florida
Donald A. Goolsby
1971, Groundwater (9) 13-19
Acidic industrial wastes have been injected into deep wells in a limestone aquifer near Pensacola, Florida, since 1963. Prior geohydrologic studies in the area had indicated that the limestone aquifer contained nonpotable water and was overlain by an extensive clay confining layer.Two injection wells are presently being used to inject...
A decade of international cooperation brings a standard seismic point of view
H. S Whitcomb Jr.
1971, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (3) 16-19
Whether in a castle in Italy, a police station in Iceland, o an abandoned gold mine in Australia, the sensitive instruments in the Worldwide Seismograph Network send a steady flow of standard earthquake records to the geophysical scientific community. They provide the raw data that make possible very precise earthquake...
Selenography and selenodesy with Apollo whole-disk lunar photographs I. Selenography
D.W.G. Arthur
1971, Icarus (14) 388-418
The Apollo whole-disk lunar photographs, with spacecraft lunar nadirs about 70° from the center of mean face, have considerable selenodetic potential provided that the requirements of resolution and precision can be met. Uncertainties in the internal camera geometry degrade the precision and make...
Salmonid viruses: Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus
K. Wolf, M. C. Quimby
1971, Archiv Fur Die Gesamte Virusforschung (34) 144-156
Epizootics occurred among young trout in France, and the behavior and symptoms suggested infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) virus. Specimens preserved in glycerol were sent to the U.S.A. for virological examination. Virus was isolated from four of five lots, but neutralization with antiserum against ATCC VR299 strain IPN virus was incomplete....
A procedure for testing the antigenicity of vaccines for immunization of fish against Furunculosis
Jamieson E. Holway, G.W. Klontz
1971, Progressive Fish-Culturist 42-44
Furnunculosis, a bacterial disease caused by Aeromonas salmonicida, is potentially one of the most devastating diseases in trout and salmon hatcheries. The disease may be controlled by three methods. The most frequently used method of control has been drug therapy. Unfortunately, the bacteria often develop resistance to the...
Results from the apollo-12 passive seismic experiment
G. Latham
1971, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (3) 4-9
The objective of the passive seismic experiment is to measure vibrations of the lunar surface produced by all natural and artificial sources of seismic energy and to use these data to deduce the internal structure and composition of the moon, the nature of forces which may cause deformation of the...
An annotated bibliography of fauna and flora described from the Dockum Group of Triassic age in eastern New Mexico and West Texas
James C. Wright, Warren I. Finch
1971, Open-File Report 71-333
This annotated bibliography was prepared by Warren I. Finch from a rough copy compiled by the late James C. Wright in either late 1967 or early 1968 as an aid to his understanding of the stratigraphic distribution of uranium deposits in Triassic rocks of the Southern high Plains. He did...
