Cholinesterase (ChE) response and related mortality among birds fed ChE inhibitors
J. Larry Ludke, Elwood F. Hill, Michael P. Dieter
1975, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (3) 1-21
Patterns of mortality and inhibition of brain and plasma ChE in birds treated with ChE inhibitors were studied in an attempt to determine the validity of using ChE activity as a monitoring and diagnostic technique. Analysis of brain ChE activity proved to be reliable for diagnosing and monitoring effects of...

Geologic setting and chemical characteristics of hot springs in west-central Alaska
Thomas Miller, Ivan Barnes, William Wallace Patton Jr.
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 149-162
Numerous hot springs occur in a variety of geologic provinces in west-central Alaska. Granitic plutons are common to all the provinces, and the hot springs are spatially associated with the contacts of these plutons. Of 23 hot springs whose bedrock geology is known, all are within 4.8 km (3 mi)...
Monitoring regional effects of high pressure injection of wastewater in a limestone aquifer
Glen L. Faulkner, Charles A. Pascale
1975, Groundwater (13) 197-208
More than 10 billion gallons (38 × 106 m3) of acid industrial liquid waste has been injected in about 11 years under high pressure into a saline-water-filled part of a limestone aquifer of low transmissivity between 1,400 and 1,700 feet (430 and 520 m) below land surface near Pensacola, Florida....
Pyrrolidone - a new solvent for the methylation of humic acid
R.L. Wershaw, D.J. Pinckney, S.E. Booker
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 123-126
In the past, humic acid has been methylated by suspending it in a solution of diazomethane in diethyl ether, and degrading the partly methylated humic acid to release those parts of the molecule that were methylated. Only small fragments of the molecule have been identified by this technique. In the...
Weights, growth, and survival of timber wolf pups in Minnesota
V. Van Ballenberghe, L.D. Mech
1975, Journal of Mammalogy (56) 44-63
Weights, growth rates, canine tooth lengths, and survival data were obtained from 73 wild wolf (Canis lupus) pups that were 8 to 28 weeks old when live-trapped in three areas of northern Minnesota from 1969 to 1972. Relative weights of wild pups are expressed as percentages of a standard weight...
Blood analyses of wolf pups and their ecological and metabolic interpretation
U.S. Seal, L.D. Mech, V. Van Ballenberghe
1975, Journal of Mammalogy (56) 64-75
Blood samples were obtained from 32 wolf (Canis lupus) pups live-trapped over a three-year period in northern Minnesota. The results of 21 laboratory analyses of hematology and blood chemistry are tabulated and analyzed in terms of study area, age, sex, and year of collection. Mean values are compared to those...
Mount St. Helens volcano: Recent and future behavior
D. R. Crandell, D. R. Mullineaux, M. Rubin
1975, Science (187) 438-441
Mount St. Helens volcano in southern Washington has erupted many times during the last 4000 years, usually after brief dormant periods. This behavior pattern suggests that the volcano, last active in 1857, will erupt again - perhaps within the next few decades. Potential volcanic hazards of several kinds should be...
The distribution of seepage within lakebeds
M.S. McBride, H.O. Pfannkuch
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 505-512
The mutual exchange of water between lakes and contiguous permeable ground-water bodies, which are thin relative to the diameter of the lakes, was modeled digitally. A significant rate of seepage was found to extend only a relatively short distance from shore, thus forming a narrow band around the lake's perimeter....
Regional impact of water resource investments in an developing area
Emil Attanasi
1975, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (11) 69-76
Regional development and industrialization patterns are investigated and related via regression analysis to water resource investments for the island of Puerto Rico. Although results of this study indicate such investments have little immediate or short‐term impact, significant relationships and variations in regional responses appear over longer time periods. This is...
Geology of Bulgaria: A review
Richard M. Foose, Frank T. Manheim
1975, AAPG Bulletin (59) 303-335
Bulgaria is in southeastern Europe between reasonably well-described areas of predominantly Alpine crustal deformation on the north and northwest (Carpathians in Romania, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia; Alps in Austria), on the east (Pontides and Taurides in Turkey), and on the west and south (Dinaric Alps in Yugoslavia; Pindos Mountains...
Earthquakes, active faults, and geothermal areas in the Imperial Valley, California
D.P. Hill, P. Mowinckel, L.G. Peake
1975, Science (188) 1306-1308
A dense seismograph network in the Imperial Valley recorded a series of earthquake swarms along the Imperial and Brawley faults and a diffuse pattern of earthquakes along the San Jacinto fault. Two known geothermal areas are closely associated with these earthquake swarms. This seismicity pattern demonstrates that seismic slip is...
Mechanism of Formation of Pillow Lava
James G. Moore
1975, American Scientist (63) 269-277
Much of the ocean floor is covered by lava of a distinctive character. The lava appears to be made up of closely packed ellipsoidal masses about the size and shape of pillows - hence the term pillow lava. Only within the last few years has the abundance of pillow lava...

A reconnaissance of hydrogeologic conditions in Lehigh Acres and adjacent areas of Lee County, Florida
Durward Hoye Boggess, T.M. Missimer
1975, Open-File Report 75-55
Lehigh Acres, a residential community with a population of about 13,500 and comprising an area of about 94 square miles (243 square kilometres) in the eastern part of Lee County, has been under development since 1954. Prior to development the area was poorly drained. By 1974, more than 150 miles...
Effects of lowering interior canal stages on salt-water intrusion into the shallow aquifer in southeast Palm Beach County, Florida

Land in southeast Palm Beach County is undergoing a large-scale change in use, from agricultural to residential. To accommodate residential use, a proposal has been made by developers to the Board of the Lake Worth Drainage District to lower the canal stages in the interior part of the area undergoing...
Geohydrology and water quality of the Mississippi River alluvial aquifer, northeastern Louisiana
Merrick S. Whitfield Jr.

The Mississippi River alluvial aquifer in northeastern Louisiana is in the alluvium of the Mississippi, Arkansas, and Ouachita Rivers and underlies approximately 5,000 square miles (13,000 square kilometers) in the Mississippi River valley. The aquifer, of Pleistocene age, is a southeastward-thickening wedge of sand and gravel that ranges in thickness...
Lakes of Oregon, Volume 3: Hood River, Multnomah, Washington and Yamhill Counties
M.V. Shulters
