Sediment transport and deposition, Walnut and Pacheco Creeks, Contra Costa County, California, August 1965-April 1970
George Porterfield
1972, Open-File Report 72-302
Average annual sediment discharge in Pacheco Creek basin, Contra Costa County, Calif., was larger during August 1965-April 1970 than the historical annual sediment discharge (1909-62) by a factor of about 1.3. This increas in sediment discharge is attributed primarily to an increased frequency of peak streamflows and to a larger...
Water-resources reconnaissance of Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska
Charles E. Sloan
1972, Open-File Report 72-348
A hydrologic reconnaissance was made of Anaktuvuk pass in the central Brooks Range during the summer of 1971 to help develop a water supply for the village school. Winter icings and summer flow conditions in Contact Creek both indicate that ground water is present beneath the creek bed. A well-site...
An improved method for isolating viruses from asymptomatic carrier fish
Donald F. Amend, John P. Pietsch
1972, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (101) 267-269
This paper describes a method using elevated levels of penicillin, streptomycin, and nystatin instead of filters to control bacteria and mold contaminants in specimens processed for virus isolation. Filters were shown to significantly reduce the virus concentration. Virus and tissue cultures were not affected by this procedure. In field tests...
Survey for infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) virus in Washington salmon
Donald F. Amend, James W. Wood
1972, Progressive Fish-Culturist (34) 143-147
A virus disease of juvenile sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) has been a problem in Washington hatcheries since first reported by Rucker [9] in 1953. Presumably, the same disease has occurred in Oregon, and it is now referred to as the Oregon, and it is now referred to as the Oregon...
Some rates of geomorphological processes
Luna Bergere Leopold, William W. Emmett
1972, Geographia Polonica (23) 27-36
This brief report summarizes three sets of measurement data on certain processes.The first concerns the rate of movement of soil on hillslopes, especially by mass movement or slow gravitational creep. The results are abstracted from an unpublished manuscript by the junior author who reports on the measurements which Leopold began...
Location and description of spiral-shaped microorganisms in the normal rat cecum
Charles P. Davis, D. Mulcahy, A. Takeuchi, D.C. Savage
1972, Infection and Immunity (6) 184-192
Some indigenous microorganisms have been shown to localize in certain anatomical sites of the digestive tract of mammals. We studied the ceca of normal adult rats by light and electron microscopy to determine whether any specific bacterial population localizes in this area. All rats studied showed...
Avian cholera in cedar waxwings in Ohio
L. N. Locke, Richard C. Banks
1972, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (8) 106-106
Avian cholera (Pasteurella multocida infection) was responsible for a localized die-off of cedar waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) at Steubenville, Ohio in late June, 1968....
Mass spectrometric analysis of organic compounds, water and volatile constituents in the atmosphere and surface of Mars: The Viking Mars Lander
Duwayne M. Anderson, K. Biemann, Leslie E. Orgel, John Oro, Tobias Owen, Garson P. Shulman, Priestley Toulmin III, H. C. Urey
1972, Icarus (16) 111-138
An experiment centering around a mass spectrometer is described, which is aimed at the identification of organic substances present in the top 10 cm of the surface of Mars and an analysis of the atmosphere for major and minor constituents as well as isotopic abundances. In addition, an indication of...
Foreign literature and translations in earth science
Frank T. Manheim
1972, Conference Paper, Toward the development of a geoscience information system : a symposium : proceedings of the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Geoscience Information Society, November 1, 1971, Washington, D.C.
More than 50 percent of the total abstracted geologic literature is in Russian, followed by English at about 30 percent, and French, German, and Japanese from about 8 to 2 percent. Communist Chinese publications ceased as a result of the Cultural Revolution and have not resumed. Less than 2 percent...
Determination of channel capacity of the Mokelumne River downstream from Camanche Dam, San Joaquin and Sacramento Counties, California
R.G. Simpson
1972, Report
This study evaluates the adequacy of a 39-mile reach of the Mokelumne River in San Joaquin and Sacramento Counties, California, to carry planned flood releases between Camanche Reservoir and the Bensons Ferry Bridge near Thornton. The flood releases from Camanche Reservoir are to be restricted, insofar as possible, so that...
Calcium-Carbonate hardness of public water supplies in the conterminous United States
