Use of urine in snow to indicate condition of wolves
L. David Mech, Ulysses S. Seal, Glenn D. DelGiudice
1987, Journal of Wildlife Management (51) 10-13
Urine deposited in snow by wild gray wolves (Canis lupus) and by fed and fasted captive wolves was analyzed for urea nitrogen, calcium, sodium, potassium, and creatinine. Ratios of the elements with creatinine were considerably higher for fed than for fasted animals, and ratios for fed wolves compared favorably with...
Hydrogeology of stratified-drift aquifers and water quality in the Nashua Regional Planning Commission Area, south-central New Hampshire
K. W. Toppin
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4358
The Nashua Regional Planning Commission area in south-central New Hampshire is a 12-community area that is experiencing increases in population and in demands for water supply. The study area is underlain by 129 sq mi (40% of the area) of stratified drift which, where sufficiently saturated and permeable, form the...
Hawaiian xenolith populations, magma supply rates, and development of magma chambers
D.A. Clague
1987, Bulletin of Volcanology (49) 577-587
Hawaiian volcanoes pass through a sequence of four eruptive stages characterized by distinct lava types, magma supply rates, and xenolith populations. Magma supply rates are low in the earliest and two latest alkalic stages and high in the tholeiitic second stage. Magma storage reservoirs develop at shallow and intermediate depths...
Effects of feeding and fasting on wolf blood and urine characteristics
Glenn D. DelGiudice, Ulysses S. Seal, L. David Mech
1987, Journal of Wildlife Management (51) 1-10
Feeding and fasting trials were conducted with 2 groups (A and B) of 4 gray wolves (Canis lupus) each during January 1980. The groups were fed for 9 days and fasted for 10 days in a cross-over design. Blood and urine samples and weight data were collected every 2-3 days...

DISCHARGE AND DEPTH BEHIND A PARTIALLY BREACHED DAM.
Cheng-lung Chen
1987, Conference Paper
The role that the velocity-distribution correction factor plays in the determination of the flood discharge and corresponding flow depth behind a partially breached dam is investigated. Assumption of a uniformly progressive flow for an established dam-break flood in a rectangular channel of infinite extent leads to the formulation of a...

Construction and use of a polyvinyl chloride pipe rack that provides a safe, convenient, and versatile way of handling and storing portable 746‐W water chillers are described....
Late Cretaceous-Cenozoic history of deciduousness and the terminal Cretaceous event.
J. A. Wolfe
1987, Paleobiology (13) 215-226
Deciduousness in mesic, broad-leaved plants occurred in disturbed, middle-latitude environments during the Late Cretaceous. Only in polar environments in the Late Cretaceous was the deciduous element dominant, although of low diversity. The terminal Cretaceous event resulted in wide-spread selection for plants of deciduous habit and diversification of...

EFFECT OF STREAMFLOW CONDITIONS ON GAS-TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS.
James L. Smoot
1987, Conference Paper
Contrary to the findings of previous studies of channel-controlled stream reaches, it was found that, in four reaches of a small stream characterized by a series of pools and riffles, reaeration coefficients decrease with decreasing discharge. In the reach with the most pool-and-riffle development, the measured rearation coefficient under low-flow...
Stochastic model for the long-term transport of stored sediment in a river channel
Harvey M. Kelsey, Roland Lamberson, Mary Ann Madej
1987, Water Resources Research (2) 1738-1750
We develop a stochastic model for the transport of stored sediment down a river channel. The model is based on probabilities of transition of particles among four different sediment storage reservoirs, called active (often mobilized), semiactive, inactive, and stable (hardly ever mobilized). The probabilities are derived from computed sediment residence...
Survival of striped bass larvae and yearlings in relation to contaminants and water quality in the upper Chesapeake Bay
L. W. Hall Jr., Alfred E. Pinkney, L. Herman, Susan E. Finger
1987, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (16) 391-400
This study was designed to evaluate survival of striped bass yolk-sac larvae and yearlings at three locations in their natural spawning habitat in the upper Chesapeake Bay (Chesapeake and Delaware Canal) using “in-situ” chambers; correlate larval and yearling survival with the presence of 11 water quality parameters, 10 inorganic contaminants...

Transmission of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus in striped bass, Morone saxatilis (Walbaum)
S.J. Wechsler, L.C. Woods, J.N. Kraeuter, F. M. Hetrick, P. E. McAllister
1987, Journal of Fish Diseases (10) 29-34
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) did not cause increased mortality in experimentally challenged striped bass, Morone saxatilis (Walbaum). Fry became transiently infected after waterborne challenge but fingerlings were resistant to that route. However, striped bass fingerlings readily became chronic virus carriers following ingestion of IPNV-contaminated food. Vertical...

In 1981 and 1982, detailed bathymetric and side-scan sonar surveys were made of an area of the sea floor north of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to study the changing characteristics of the seabed at the inner boundary of the stamukhi zone, the...
Petrogenesis of gabbronorite at Yakobi and northwest Chichagof Islands, Alaska
G. R. Himmelberg, R. A. Loney, P.I. Nabelek
1987, Geological Society of America Bulletin (98) 265-279
On Yakobi Island and at Mirror Harbor on the northwest coast of Chichagof Island, gabbronorite occurs as irregular bodies, as much as 5.5 km in maximum dimension, mostly within a 40 to 43 m.y. composite pluton consisting largely of tonalite. The gab-bronorites are the host rocks for a magmatic nickel-copper...

This is a description, illustrated with photographs, of the 1986 eruptions of Augustine, Pavlof and Akutan volcanoes. Augustine erupted pyroclastic flows, a large eruptive column, ash, and eventually a dome. Pavlof had an important Strombolian eruption which was one of the biggest in the last 30 years. Akutan had a...
