Unharvested fishes in the U. S. commercial fishery of western Lake Erie in 1969
Harry D. Van Meter
1973, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 670
Potential commercial fish production was estimated for U.S. waters of western Lake Erie in 1969 from pounds landed and pounds discarded. Periodic observations of catches in haul seines and trap nets revealed that about 37% of the catch (by weight) in haul seines and 26% of that in trap nets...

A preliminary classification of wetland plant communities in north-central Minnesota
L.M. Cowardin, Douglas H. Johnson
1973, Special Scientific Report - Wildlife 168
A classification of wetland plant communities was developed for a study area in north-central Minnesota in order to analyze data on waterfowl use of habitat that were gathered by radio telemetry. The classification employs features of several earlier classifications in addition to new classes for bogs and lakeshore communities. Brief...
The microgravimetric determination of acid-insoluble impurities in the complete analysis of small samples of acid-soluble minerals
Robert Meyrowitz
1973, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (1) 207-209
The acid-insoluble impurities of small samples of minerals are determined by a microgravimetric procedure. A Schwarz von Bergkampf glass filter stick with paper filter medium is used to separate the insoluble material. The filtration apparatus and procedural details are described....
Scolecobasidium humicola, a fungal pathogen of fish
A. J. Ross, W. T. Yasutake
1973, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (30) 994-995
Scolecobasidium humicola, a previously undescribed fungal pathogen of fish was isolated from coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). In natural infections the kidney was the organ most affected. The disease was difficult to transmit experimentally and appeared to be only weakly contagious....
Ultrafiltration by a compacted clay membrane-I. Oxygen and hydrogen isotopic fractionation
T.B. Coplen, B.B. Hanshaw
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 2295-2310
Laboratory experiments were carried out to determine the magnitude of the isotopic fractionation of distilled water and of 0.01 N NaCl forced to flow at ambient temperature under a hydraulic pressure drop of 100 bars across a montmorillonite disc compacted to a porosity...
The sorption of silver by poorly crystallized manganese oxides
B.J. Anderson, E. A. Jenne, T. T. Chao
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 611-622
The sorption of silver by poorly crystallized manganese oxides was studied using synthesized samples of three members of the manganous manganite (birnessite) group, of different chemical composition and crystallinity, and a poorly organized γ-MnO2. All four oxides sorbed significant quantities of silver. The manganous manganites showed the greatest sorption (up...
Tertiary plate tectonics and high-pressure metamorphism in New Caledonia
R.N. Brothers, M.C. Blake Jr.
1973, Tectonophysics (17) 337-358
The sialic basement of New Caledonia is a Permian-Jurassic greywacke sequence which was folded and metamorphosed to prehnite-pumpellyite or low-grade greenschist facies by the Late Jurassic. Succeeding Cretaceous-Eocene sediments unconformably overlie this basement and extend outwards onto oceanic crust. Tertiary tectonism occurred in three distinct phases.1. During the...
More on noble gases in Yellowstone National Park hot waters
E. Mazor, R.O. Fournier
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 515-525
Water and gas samples from research wells in hydrothermal areas of Yellowstone National Park, U.S.A., have been mass spectrometrically analyzed for their rare gas contents and isotopic composition. In agreement with previous findings, the rare gases have been found to originate from infiltrating...
U-Th-Pb measurements of Luna 20 soil
M. Tatsumoto
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 1079-1086
The concentrations of uranium, thorium and lead and the lead isotopic composition of Luna 20 soil were determined. The data indicate that the Luna 20 soil is mainly a mixture of highland anorthosites and low-K basalt, but little KREEP basalt. The U-Th-Pb systematics...
Extraction and concentration of organic solutes from water
Marvin C. Goldberg, Lewis L. DeLong, Mark Sinclair
1973, Analytical Chemistry (45) 89-93
A continuous extraction apparatus is described. It extracts and simultaneously concentrates organic solutes from water. Any immiscible solvent can be used in this apparatus if the solute will partition between the solvent and water. A concentration factor of up to 105 is obtained with this technique. The dipole moment difference...
Production of superheated steam from vapor-dominated geothermal reservoirs
A.H. Truesdell, D. E. White
1973, Geothermics (2) 154-173
Vapor-dominated geothermal systems such as Larderello, Italy, The Geysers, California, and Matsukawa, Japan yield dry or superheated steam when exploited. Models for these systems are examined along with production data and the thermodynamic properties of water, steam and rock. It is concluded that...
Determination of indium in rocks by substoichiometric radioisotope dilution analysis
L. Paul Greenland, E.Y. Campbell
1973, Analytica Chimica Acta (67) 29-36
Rocks containing 10–140 ng of indium per g are decomposed with hydrofluoric and nitric acids in the presence of 114In. Indium is separated from other constituents by sequential extractions of the bromide, cupferronate, and acetylacetonate, and is then reacted with a substoichiometric amont of EDTA. Excess...
Coexisting cummingtonite and aluminous hornblende from garnet amphibolite, Boehls Butte area, Idaho, USA
A. Hietanen
1973, LITHOS (6) 261-264
Electron microprobe analyses of green hornblende and coexisting cummingtonite from garnet amphibolite show identical Fe/Mg ratios ( = 0.9). Cummingtonite is iron-magnesium silicate with very little calcium and aluminum and practically no alkalies. In contrast, the hornblende has 1.5 tetrahedral Al, 0.9 octahedral...
Isotopic composition of oil-field brines from Kettleman North Dome, California, and their geologic implications
Y.K. Kharaka, F.A.F. Berry, I. Friedman
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 1899-1908
Deuterium and O18 analyses were made on 25 formation-water samples from Miocene (Temblor Formation) and Eocene (McAdams Formation) reservoir rocks at Kettleman North Dome oil field, California, and on three surface water samples from Reef Ridge located about three miles to the west of the field. The δO18 values obtained generally increase with...

P. Toulmin III, A. K. Baird, B. C. Clark, Klaus Keil, H. J. Rose Jr.
1973, Icarus (20) 153-178
The inorganic chemical investigation added in August 1972 to the Viking Lander scientific package will utilize an energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer in which four sealed, gas-filled proportional counters will detect X-rays emitted from samples of the Martian surface materials irradiated by X-rays from radioisotope sources (55Fe and 109Cd). The output...

1973, Science (179) 377-380
Recent drilling in the Red Sea has shown that much of the basin is underlain by evaporites of a similar age to that of evaporites found in the Mediterranean Sea. These evaporites and their structural positions indicate that other brine areas are present - and, indeed, several others have been...

Changes in the visual pigments of trout
D.M. Allen, W.N. McFarland, F.W. Munz, H. A. Poston
1973, Canadian Journal of Zoology (51) 901-914
The proportions of two visual pigments (rhodopsin and porphyropsin) were examined in four species of trout under experimental and natural conditions. Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), and brown trout (Salmo trutta) have different relative proportions of visual pigments in their retinae. The visual pigment balance in wild...
