Fish viruses: Buffers and methods for plaquing eight agents under normal atmosphere
K. Wolf, M. C. Quimby
1973, Applied Microbiology (25) 659-664
A universal procedure was sought for plaque assay of eight fish viruses (bluegill myxovirus, channel catfish virus, eel virus, Egtved virus, infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus, infectious pancreatic necrosis virus, lymphocystis virus, and the agent of spring viremia of carp (Rhabdovirus carpio), in dish cultures of various fish cells. Eagle minimal...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

Point of zero charge of weathered forsterite
R.W. Luce, George A. Parks
1973, Chemical Geology (12) 147-153
The point of zero charge of forsterite shifts from an estimated 8.9 for the unaltered mineral to 8.4 and 8.0, respectively, after being weathered artificially for 1 h and 4 h. These results corroborate the presence of magnesium-deficient surfaces on the weathered...
The selenium content of U.S.G.S. standard rocks
M. M. Schnepfe, F.J. Flanagan
1973, Chemical Geology (12) 77-80
Selenium was determined in duplicate portions from three bottles of six U.S.G.S. standard rocks by a spect rofluorimetric procedure. The following averages, as p.p.m. Se, were obtained: PCC-1, 0.031; GSP-1, 0.088; BCR-1, 0.12; SCo-1, 0.91; MAG-1, 1.3; and SGR-1, 3.7. One-way analysis...

Federal Great Lakes fishery research objectives, priorities, and projects
Howard D. Tait
1973, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the First Federal Conference on the Great Lakes
Fishery productivity of the Great Lakes has declined drastically since settlement of the area. Premium quality fishes of the Great Lakes such as whitefish, lake trout, and walleyes have been replaced by less desired species. This change is attributed to selective overfishing, pollution, and the extreme instability of fish populations....
The role of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife in the Great Lakes
F. Eugene Hester
1973, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the First Federal Conference on the Great Lakes
Ecological blunders of man, such as timber exploitation, draining of wetlands, construction of canals and dams, and pollution have been mainly responsible for serious environmental degradation and catastrophic losses of fish and wildlife values in the Great Lakes Basin. Consequently, the major emphasis of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and...

Monumented channel cross sections were resurveyed over a period of 20 yrs (1953 to 1972) to determine the amount and kind of change of channel area and position on a 3.7-sq-mi basin, Watts Branch near Rockville, Maryland. For the first 12 yrs, the channel progressively but slowly became smaller as...

Drought displaced movement of North American pintails into Siberia
Charles J. Henny
1973, Journal of Wildlife Management (37) 23-29
During the years 1954-70, 230 pintails (Anas acuta) banded in North America were reported from eastern Asia, primarily Siberia. Most of the birds were shot on the breeding grounds in May. The movement into eastern Asia of pintails banded in the interior of North America was directly correlated with the...
