Predicting sizes of undiscovered mineral deposits; an example using mercury deposits in California
C. F. Chung, Donald A. Singer, W. David Menzie
1992, Economic Geology (87) 1174-1179
A critical part of the exploration for mineral deposits or of quantitative mineral resource assessments is the estimation of how large undiscoveredeposits might be. Typically, this problem is addressed using grade and tonnage models in which a major source of variation in possible sizes is accounted for by the differences...
Competition for food between crayfish (Orconectes virilis) and the slimy sculpin (Cottus cognatus)
John E. Miller, Jacqueline F. Savino, Robert K. Neely
1992, Journal of Freshwater Ecology (7) 127-136
Interspecific competition for a food resource (fish eggs) was examined in a laboratory setting between two common benthic organisms of the Great Lakes, the slimy sculpin (Cottus cognatus) and crayfish (Orconectes virilis). In monospecific tests, the median egg predation in aquarium microcosms ranged from 2.5 eggs/d for the...
A mass spectroscopic method for analysis of AHH-inducing and other polychlorinated biphenyl congeners and selected pesticides in fish
Larry J. Schmidt, Robert J. Hesselberg
1992, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (23) 37-44
The 209 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners exhibit a wide range in toxicity to fish, birds, and mammals. This paper discusses the use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry negative chemical ionization (GC/MS-NCI) to quantify congeners of highly suspected toxicity such as IUPAC #77 (3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl) and #126 (3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl). GC/MS analysis time needed to...

Charles O. Hatcher, Roann E. Ogawa, Thomas P. Poe, John R. P. French III
1992, Journal of Freshwater Ecology (7) 257-269
Samples of lake sediment, macrozoobenthos, and fish were collected during 1983 and 1984 near a coal ash disposal basin situated on the western shoreline of Lake Erie. Neutron activation analysis was used to determine if potentially toxic trace elements were present in higher concentrations at stations near the basin...
Diets of emerald and spottail shiners and potential interactions with other western Lake Erie planktivorous fishes
Kyle J. Hartman, Bruce Vondracek, Donna L. Parrish, Kenneth M. Muth
1992, Journal of Great Lakes Research (18) 43-50
Emerald shiner (Notropis atherinoides) and spottail shiner (N. hudsonius) were abundant historically in western Lake Erie. Recent changes in the fish community suggest that shiners may not compete favorably with the invading white perch (Morone americana) or the gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum). We examined the diets of emerald and spottail...
Density-dependent recruitment of the bloater (Coregonus hoyi) in Lake Michigan
Edward H. Brown Jr., Gary W. Eck
1992, Polskie Archiwum Hydrobiologii (39) 289-297
Density-dependent recruitment of the bloater (Coregonus hoyi) in Lake Michigan during and after recovery of the population in about 1977-1983 was best reflected in the fit of the Beverton-Holt recruitment function to age -1 and -2 recruits and estimated eggs of parents surveyed with trawls. A lower growth rate...

James P. Hickey, Andrew J. Aldridge IV, Dora R. Passino-Reader, Anthony M. Frank
1992, Drug Information Journal (26) 487-495
The National Fisheries Research Center- Great Lakes has developed an interactive computer program that uses the structure of an organic molecule to predict its acute toxicity to four aquatic species. The expert system software, written in the muLISP language, identifies the skeletal structures and substituent groups of an organic molecule...
Bluegill growth as modified by plant density: an exploration of underlying mechanisms
Jacqueline F. Savino, Elizabeth A. Marschall, Roy A. Stein
1992, Oecologia (89) 153-160
Bluegill (Lepomis macrochira) growth varies inconsistently with plant density. In laboratory and field experiments, we explored mechanisms underlying bluegill growth as a function of plant and invertebrate density. In the laboratory, bluegills captured more chironomids (Chironomus riparius) than damselflies (Enallagma spp. and Ischnura spp.), but energy intake per...
Laser microprobe analyses of noble gas isotopes and halogens in fluid inclusions: Analyses of microstandards and synthetic inclusions in quartz
J.K. Böhlke, J.J. Irwin
1992, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (56) 187-201
Ar, Kr, Xe, Cl, Br, I, and K abundances and isotopic compositions have been measured in microscopic fluid inclusions in minerals by noble gas mass spectrometry following neutron irradiation and laser extraction. The laser microprobe noble gas mass spectrometric (LMNGMS) technique was quantified by use of microstandards, including air-filled capillary...
Molecular and genetic characterization of cytochrome oxidase negative Aeromonas salmonicida isolated from coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
J.D. Teska, R. C. Cipriano, W. B. Schill
1992, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (28) 515-520
Cytochrome oxidase variants of the bacterial fish pathogen, Aeromonas salmonicida, were characterized for genetic and molecular homology with cytochrome oxidase-positive isolates that typically induce furunculosis in salmonids. Protein and lipopolysaccharide moieties of the cytochrome oxidase-negative variants were similar to their typical counterparts, based on...
Volcán Quizapu, Chilean Andes
Wes Hildreth, Robert E. Drake
1992, Bulletin of Volcanology (54) 93-125
Quizapu is a flank vent of the basalt-to-rhyodacite Holocene stratocone, Cerro Azul, and lies at the focus of a complex Quaternary volcanic field on the Andean volcanic front. The Quizapu vent originated in 1846 when 5 km3 of hornblende-dacite magma erupted effusively with little accompanying tephra....

Bioremediation of uranium contamination with enzymatic uranium reduction
Derek R. Lovley, Elizabeth J.P. Phillips
1992, Environmental Science & Technology (26) 2228-2234
Enzymatic uranium reduction by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans readily removed uranium from solution in a batch system or when D. desulfuricans was separated from the bulk of the uranium-containing water by a semipermeable membrane. Uranium reduction continued at concentrations as high as 24 mM. Of a variety of potentially inhibiting anions and...
A revised configuration of the southern California uplift
R. O. Castle, T.D. Gilmore
1992, Geological Society of America Bulletin (104) 1577-1591
Recently recovered archival leveling data from southwestern Arizona and adjacent parts of California compel major revisions in the configuration and interpretation of the southern California uplift, both at its culmination and following its partial collapse. Re-examination of the older vertical-control record indicates that...
Late-glacial to holocene changes in winds, upwelling, and seasonal production of the northern California current system
C. Sancetta, M. Lyle, L. Heusser, R. Zahn, J.P. Bradbury
1992, Quaternary Research (38) 359-370
A core 120 km off the coast of southern Oregon was examined for changes in lithology, diatoms, and pollen over the past 30,000 yr. Primary production during the late Pleistocene was about half that of the Holocene. Evidence from diatoms and pollen indicates that summer upwelling was much weaker, implying...
