Gaussian and nonparametric (percentile estimate and tolerance interval) statistical methods were used to estimate normal ranges for blood chemistry (bicarbonate, bilirubin, calcium, hematocrit, hemoglobin, magnesium, mean cell hemoglobin concentration, osmolality, inorganic phosphorus, and pH for juvenile rainbow (Salmo gairdneri, Shasta strain) trout held under defined environmental conditions. The percentile estimate...

Donner Lake is easily accessible to the metropolitan areas of Sacramento and San Francisco and is close to many recreational areas in the Sierra Nevada. The lake is used for recreation and is bordered by commercial establishments, summer vacation homes, and a large state campground. Domestic wastes around the lake...

This report contains statistical summaries of streamflow records from 74 gaging stations, which are mostly in northeastern Utah. Low- flow, high-flow, and flow-duration summaries were compiled from daily discharge values; and flows of each month are compared through correlation with flows of 1, 2, and 12 months in the future....

Northwestern Kansas, an area of 8,050 square miles (21,000 square kilometres), is a flat to gently rolling plain that is dissected by the Smoky Hill and Republican Rivers. Loessial soils underlying the plain are ideal for cultivation.The climate is semiarid with the mean annual precipitation ranging from 16 to 21...

Infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) is a rhabdoviral disease of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). Trout were injected with IHNV, and various hematological and biochemical measurements of clinically ill fish were compared to uninfected controls. Infected fish had reduced corpuscular counts, hemoglobin, and packed cell volume, but normal mean corpuscular volume, mean...

A review of the literature regarding gas-bubble disease can be found in a recent publication by Rucker (1972); one by the National Academy of Science (Anonymous in press); and an unpublished report by Weitkamp and Katz (1973)." Most discussions on gas-bubble disease have dealt with the inert gas, nitrogen-oxygen was...

Study of the residue dynamics of 2-methylquinoline (quinaldine) and 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) in rainbow trout yielded the following findings:1. Uptake and distribution of TFM by trout was influenced by the biotransformation of the lipidsoluble free phenol. No such effect was observed with quinaldine.2. Disappearance of quinaldine and TFM from gallbladder bile...

New algorithms are described for evaluating Fourier (cosine, sine) and Hankel (J0,J1) transform integrals by means of digital filters. The filters have been designed with extended lengths so that a variable convolution operation can be applied to a large class of integral transforms having the same...

The purpose of this report is to present rainfall and runoff data for the Waller Creek and Wilbarger Creek study areas for the 1973 water year (October 1, 1972 to September 30, 1973)....

The processes of geologic preservation are important for understanding the organisms represented by fossils. Some fossil differences are due to basic differences in organization of animals and plants, but the interpretation of fossils has also tended to be influenced by modes of preservation....

Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) exposed to an acute, sublethal concentration of 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) exhibited an increased output of urine when compared with controls, but the urinary excretion of Na, K, Ca, Mg, and Cl was not affected. About 35 times more conjugated TFM than free TFM was excreted during the...

The least exacting demand that can be made of any model is that it serves as a device whereby we can predict actual physical happenings. Another demand which could be made is that the physical happenings predicted be in some way relevant to man, either by allowing him to anticipate...

Rhyolitic domes, flows, and ash-flow tuffs of Miocene to Holocene age form an important part of the thick sequence of Cenozoic volcanic rocks that cover southeastern Oregon east of the Cascade Range. Rhyolitic domes 11-17 m.y. old are widespread, particularly in the easternmost part of the state and in adjacent...

Digestive organ lengths, weights, and volumes in each of three groups of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) were determined at the end of a 21-day period, during which one group was starter (control diet), another group was fed whole corn (low fiber content), and the third fed alfalfa pellets (high fiber content)...

The Sargent-Berrocal fault zone is a belt of thrust faults extending for about 58 mi (94 km) southeastward from the vicinity of Los Altos to San Juan Bautista, Calif. The fault zone generally dips southwestward toward the adjacent San Andreas fault at low to steep angles, and the southwest...

Geochemical studies in the Chief Mountain Soda Creek area, Clear Creek County, Colo., show that anomalously high amounts of Au, Ag, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Bi in mull ash, and Cu and Hg in soil, correspond to a negative gravity anomaly in the Front Range mineral belt. The correspondence of...
