Low-temperature molar heat capacities and entropies of MnO2 (pyrolusite), Mn3O4 (hausmanite), and Mn2O3 (bixbyite)
R. A. Robie, B. S. Hemingway
1985, Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics (17) 165-181
Pyrolusite (MnO2), hausmanite (Mn3O4), and bixbyite (Mn2O3), are important ore minerals of manganese and accurate values for their thermodynamic properties are desirable to understand better the {p(O2), T} conditions of their formation. To provide accurate values for the entropies of these important manganese minerals, we have measured their heat capacities...
Late Holocene vegetation changes in Greenwater Valley, Mojave Desert, California
K.L. Cole, R. H. Webb
1985, Quaternary Research (23) 227-235
Small-scale late Holocene vegetation changes were determined from a series of 13 modern and fossil packrat middens collected from a site in the Greenwater Valley, northern Mojave Desert, California. Although the site is above the modern lower limit of Coleogyne ramosissima (black-brush), macrofossils of this shrub are only present in...
A GC-system for the analysis of residual geothermal gases
D.S. Sheppard, A.H. Truesdell
1985, Chromatographia (20) 681-682
The gases evolved from geothermal fields, after condensation of H2O, CO2, H2S and NH3 in caustic solution, contain He, H2, Ar, O2, N2, CH4 and higher hydrocarbons. The analysis for the major components in these residual gas mixtures can be achieved by use of two simple gas chromatographs in parallel,...
Catastrophic eruptions of the directed-blast type at Mount St. Helens, Bezymianny and Shiveluch volcanoes
G.E. Bogoyavlenskaya, O.A. Braitseva, I.V. Melekestsev, V. Yu Kiriyanov, Miller C. Dan
1985, Journal of Geodynamics (3) 189-218
This paper describes catastrophic eruptions of Mount St. Helens (1980), Bezymianny (1955–1956), and Shiveluch (1964) volcanoes. A detailed description of eruption stages and their products, as well as the quantitative characteristics of the eruptive process are given. The eruptions under study belong to the directed-blast type. This type is characterized...
Low gradient permeability measurements in a triaxial system
H. W. Olsen, R. W. Nichols, T. L. Rice
1985, Geotechnique (35) 145-157
Permeability measurements were conducted with the flow-pump method on sand, sandy silt and silty clay specimens in a conventional triaxial system by introducing and withdrawing water at known constant flow rates into the base of a specimen with a flow-pump, and by monitoring the head difference induced across the length...
Persistence of an introduced mud flat community in south San Francisco Bay, California
Frederic H. Nichols, Janet K. Thompson
1985, Marine Ecology Progress Series (24) 83-97
The benthic invertebrate community inhabiting the extensive and sedimentologically homogeneous mudflats of South San Francisco Bay has demonstrated a high degree of constancy in both species composition and relative abundance among species throughout 10 yr of observation. The community, composed predominantly of introduced species with opportunistic lifestyles, is dominated numerically...
Abundance fluctuations among benthic invertebrates in two pacific estuaries
Frederic H. Nichols
1985, Estuaries (8) 136-144
Long-term studies were used to examine (1) contrasting time scales and mechanisms of structural variations within two benthic communities and (2) the usefulness of long data sets for evaluating human impact. A 10-year study of a San Francisco Bay mudflat, the details of which are reported elsewhere, has revealed large...
Classification of wetlands and deepwater habitats of the United States
L.M. Cowardin, V. Carter, F.C. Golet, E.T. LaRoe
1985, FWS/OBS 79/31
This classification, to be used in a new inventory of wetlands and deepwater habitats of the United States, is intended to describe ecological taxa, arrange them in a system useful to resource managers, furnish units for mapping, and provide uniformity of concepts and terms. Wetlands are defined by plants (hydrophytes),...
Movement of underyearling walleyes in response to odor and visual cues
D. V. Rottiers, C. A. Lemm
1985, Progressive Fish-Culturist (47) 34-41
Underyearling walleyes, allowed to move freely in a Y‐shaped chamber into which various substances were added to one arm or another, were attracted to sodium chloride, sucrose, glutathione, vitamin B12, betaine, arginine, Daphnia slurries, some fish slurries, washings from live Daphnia and Artemia, and some commercial fish foods. They avoided...
Comparative sensitivities of diagnostic procedures used to detect bacterial kidney disease in salmonid fishes
R. C. Cipriano, C. E. Starliper, J. H. Schachte
1985, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (21) 144-148
Kidney and spleen homogenates from each of 60 coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) were examined for detection of Renibacterium salmoninarum. The proportions of positives differed widely with the detection procedures used: in coho salmon, 5% were positive by the Gram-stain...
Effects of cumulative loading level, as fish weight per unit flow, on water quality and growth of lake trout
J. W. Meade, J.S. Ramsey, J.C. Williams
1985, Journal of the World Mariculture Society (16) 40-51
Lake trout, Salvelinus namaycush, were cultured in a series of five rearing units (in triplicate). The fish removed available oxygen in each unit, from about 10.5 to 7.0 mg/L. Oxygen was replaced, through aeration, between rearing units. Effects of cumulative loading, as fish weight/flow rate, are described in terms of water...
The representative research animal: Why rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri Rich.)?
K. Wolf, G. Rumsey
1985, Journal of Applied Ichthyology (1) 131-138
In laboratory research, the rainbow trout has become a counterpart to the white rat, because that fish is an adaptable species available in much of the developed world and stocks from egg through adult are available throughout the year. Moreover, many strains are recognized, and their propagation and laboratory maintenance...
Allowable ammonia for fish culture
J. W. Meade
1985, Progressive Fish-Culturist (47) 135-145
A review of the published literature on effects of ammonia on fish indicates that un‐ionized ammonia alone is probably not the cause of gill hyperplasia, indicative of, or previously attributed to, chronic ammonia poisoning. The maximum safe concentration of un‐ionized ammonia is unknown, but in many cases it is not...
Post-spawning mortality of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) associated with Lactobacillus
R. L. Herman, K. McAllister, G. L. Bullock, E. B. Shotts Jr.
1985, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (21) 358-360
A Lactobacillus sp. was consistently isolated from dead and moribund postspawning brood stock rainbow trout. Pathology was characterized by massive chronic inflammation throughout the abdominal cavity and formation of pseudomembranes. The bacteria were most abundant in spent testes. Repeated handling was considered to be the...
Sanguinicola fontinalis sp. Nov., (Digenea: Sanguinicolidae): A blood parasite of brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill), and longnose dace, Rhinichthys cataractae (Valenciennes)
G. L. Hoffman, B. Fried, J.E. Harvey
1985, Journal of Fish Diseases (8) 529-538
Sanguinicola fontinalis sp. nov., from the branchial, renal and cardiac blood vessels of brook trout. Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill), and longnose dace, Rhinichthys cataractae (Valenciennes), is described. The new species most closely resembles, hut differs from, Sanguinicola davisi of steelhead and rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson. The adult differs from all known North American species...

K. Peng, Lingtian Xie, S. Li, D.M. Boore, W.D. Iwan, T.L. Teng
1985, Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors (38) 92-109
A joint research project on strong-motion earthquake studies between the People's Republic of China and the United States is in progress. As a part of this project, an experimental strong-motion array, consisting of twelve Kinemetrics PDR-1 Digital Event Recorders, was deployed in the meizoseismal area of the Ms = 7.8...
