Chemical composition of blood and bile of the shovelnose sturgeon
J. B. Hunn, L.M. Christenson
1977, Progressive Fish-Culturist (39) 59-61
Samples of gallbladder bile and blood from shovelnose sturgeons (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) collected from the Chippewa River, Wisconsin, contained concentrations of Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++, Cl-, inorganic phosphate, and total cholesterol closely comparable with those reported for similar samples from other species of freshwater sturgeons....
The EROS Data Center
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1977, Report
The Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Program of the U.S. Department of the Interior, administered by the Geological Survey, was established in 1966 to apply remote-sensing techniques to the inventory, monitoring, and management of natural resources. To meet its primary objective, the EROS Program includes research and training in the...
Survival of monosex grass carp in small ponds
A.E. Thomas, Ray R. Carter
1977, Progressive Fish-Culturist (39) 184-184
Little information is available on the survival of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) in ponds &mdash especially on the survival of fry to large fingerling stage, during the time when the most mortality would be expected. Development of monosex (all female) grass carp at the Fish Farming Experimental Station by the...
Geographic information system development in the CARETS project
William B. Mitchell, Robin G. Fegeas, Katherine A. Fitzpatrick, Cheryl A. Hallam
1977, Final Report Volume 4
Experience in the development of a geographic information system to support the CARETS project has confirmed the considerable advantages that may accrue by paralleling the system development with a rational and balanced system production effort which permits the integration of the education and training of users with interim deliverable products...
National Cartographic Information Center Newsletter No. 6
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1977, Newsletter 6
As a rule we don't carry personnel information additions, subtractions, etc., in the newsletter. This is a technical publication, not a forum for office baseball league scores. Now, having got that disclaimer out of the way, we wanted to note that Dick Swinnerton, Chief of NCIC since the Center's inception...
Springs of Florida
Jack C. Rosenau, Glen L. Faulkner, Charles W. Hendry Jr., Robert W. Hull
1977, Bulletin 31
The first comprehensive report of Florida's springs, which contains both a story of the springs and a collection of facts about them, was published thirty years ago (Ferguson and others, 1947). Since then, much additional data on springs have been gathered and the current report, Springs of Florida, makes a...
Conversion factors: SI metric and U.S. customary units
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1977, Report
The policy of the U.S. Geological Survey is to foster use of the International System of Units (SI) which was defined by the 11th General Conference of Weights and Measures in 1960. This modernized metric system constitutes an international "language" by means of which communications throughout the world's scientific and...
Water and industry in the United States
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1977, Report
Man's economic and social progress depends on a plentiful and readily available supply of water. From his earliest days, man has found water to be an essential ingredient in improving his environment and the quality of life. Increased production of goods and continued introduction of new products have been accompanied...
United States Geological Survey Annual Report Fiscal Year 1976

1977, Report
On July 4, 1976, the United States of America celebrated its Bicentennial. This report summarizes the progress made by the U.S. Geological Survey during the last year of the Bicentennial in collecting, analyzing, and publishing information about the Nation's mineral, water, and land resources and in supervising mineral operations authorized...
Renal excretion in channel catfish following injection of quinaldine sulphate or 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol
J. L. Allen, J. B. Hunn
1977, Journal of Fish Biology (10) 473-479
Channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus Rafinesque, injected intraperitoneally with 2-methyl-quinoline sulphate (QdSO4) or 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) eliminate most of the dose of these compounds by extra-renal routes. Patterns of renal excretion of Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Cl- (pEq kg-1 h-1) appeared to be associated with the 'stress' of the urine collection...
Save water, save money
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey, VA Fairfax County
1977, Report
The United States uses huge quantities of water. In 1976, for example, it was estimated that for each person in the U.S., about 2,000 gallons of water were used daily in homes, offices, farms, and factories. This means that roughly 420 billion gallons of water were pumped, piped, or diverted...

Rotational line crossing: An approach to the reduction of inbreeding accumulation in trout brood stocks
H. L. Kincaid
1977, Progressive Fish-Culturist (39) 179-181
A system is presented for maintaining trout brood stocks for long periods with levels of inbreeding accumulation lower than that experienced in random mating populations of equal size. The system requires the formation of three or more distinct breeding lines. Brood stock generations are advanced by a systematic mating scheme...

Shear and tension hydraulic fractures in low permeability rocks
P. Solberg, D. Lockner, J. Byerlee
1977, Pure and Applied Geophysics PAGEOPH (115) 191-198
Laboratory hydrofracture experiments were performed on triaxially stressed specimens of oil shale and low-permeability granite. The results show that either shear or tension fractures could develop depending on the level of differentials stress, even in specimens containing preexisting fractures. With 1 kb of confining pressure and differential stress greater than...
The origin of garnet in the anorthosite-charnockite suite of the Adirondacks
J. M. McLelland, P.R. Whitney
1977, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (60) 161-181
Detailed analysis of textural and chemical criteria in rocks of the anorthosite-charnockite suite of the Adirondack Highlands suggests that development of garnet in silica-saturated rocks of the suite occurs according to the reaction: {Mathematical expression}, where ?? is a function of the distribution of Fe and Mg between the several...
State of stress in the lithosphere: Inferences from the flow laws of olivine
S. H. Kirby
1977, Pure and Applied Geophysics PAGEOPH (115) 245-258
The experimental flow data for rocks and minerals are reviewed and found to fit a law of the form {Mathematical expression} where {Mathematical expression} This law reduces to the familiar power-law stress dependency at low stress and to an exponential stress dependency at high stress. Using the material flow law...
