Geologic history of Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1976, Report
Cape Cod, a sandy peninsula built mostly during the Ice Age, juts into the Atlantic Ocean like a crooked arm. Because of its exposed location, Cape Cod was visited by many early explorers. Although clear-cut evidence is lacking, the Vikings may have sighted this land about 1,000 years ago. It...

Upland sandpiper nesting and management in North Dakota
L.M. Kirsch, K.F. Higgins
1976, Wildlife Society Bulletin (4) 16-20
Nests of 195 upland sandpipers (Bartramia longicauda) on the Missouri Coteau of North Dakota generally were well concealed by grassy vegetation which ranged from 15.4-30.8 cm in height. Nest densities ranged from 0.3 per 40.5 ha on annually tilled croplands to 6.8 per 40.5 ha on native grasslands during the...
Temperature tolerance of young-of-the-year lake whitefish, Coregonus clupeaformis
Thomas A. Edsall, Donald V. Rottiers
1976, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (33) 177-180
The ultimate upper lethal temperature of young-of-the-year lake whitefish, Coregonus clupeaformis, was 26.65 C; this value is closely similar to that reported for yearling bloaters,Coregonus hoyi (26.75 C) and young-of-the-year lake herring, Coregonus artedii (26.0 C)....

Antimycin: Uptake, distribution, and elimination in brown bullheads (Ictalurus nebulosus)
D.P. Schultz, P.D. Harman
1976, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (33) 1121-1129
Radioactive antimycin was readily taken up in bile and tissues of brown bullheads (Ictalurus nebulosus) exposed to 0.045 μg/ml of 14C-antimycin for as long as 48 h. Bile contained the most and blood the least radioactivity at all sampling periods. The highest concentration of 14C-antimycin in muscle was 0.12 μg/g, after 12 h of exposure. The...
Duck nesting in fields of undisturbed grass-legume cover
Harold F. Duebbert, J. T. Lokemoen
1976, Journal of Wildlife Management (40) 39-49
A study of dabbling duck (Anatinae) nesting was conducted during 1971-73 on nine 12- to 54-ha Cropland Adjustment Program fields in the prairie pothole region of north-central South Dakota. The tall, dense vegetation was comprised of introduced cool-season grasses and legumes, primarily smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis), intermediate wheatgrass (Agropyron intermedium),...
Allantoinase in the marine polychaete Eudistylia vancouveri
Dora R. M. Passino, G.W. Brown Jr.
1976, Experientia (32) 1376-1377
Allantoinase, an enzyme in the purine-urea cycle, was found in Eudistylia vancouveri (Polychaeta). The enzyme had a pH optimum at 7.6. The Km was 0.012 M allantoin, and the Arrhenius energy of activation was 12.6 to 14.6 kcal/mol....

1976, Journal of Wildlife Management (40) 69-81
The feeding ecology of breeding gadwalls (Anas strepera) from saline wetlands in North Dakota was examined in relation to sex, pair mates, reproductive status, food availability, and wetland type during the spring and summer of 1971 and 1972. Esophagi of males and females contained 40.4 and 48.2 percent animal food,...
Removal of toxic chemicals from water with activated carbon
V. K. Dawson, L. L. Marking, T.D. Bills
1976, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (105) 119-123
Activated carbon was effective in removing fish toxicants and anesthetics from water solutions. Its capacity to adsorb 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM), antimycin, NoxfishA? (5% rotenone), Dibrorms, juglone, MSa??222, and benzocaine ranged from 0.1 to 64 mg per gram of carbon. The adsorptive capacity (end point considered as a significant discharge) of...

Earthquake prediction; fact and fallacy
R.N. Hunter
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 24-27
Earthquake prediction is a young and growing area in the field of seismology. Only a few years ago, experts in seismology were declaring flatly that it was impossible. Now, some successes have been achieved and more are expected. Within a few years, earthquakes may be predicted as routinely as the...
Earthquakes, October 1975

October was an active month seismically, although there were no damaging earthquakes in the United States. Several States experienced earthquakes that were felt sharply. There were four major earthquakes in other parts of the world, including a magntidue 7.4 in the Philippine Islands that killed on person. ...
