Limited-interval definitions of the photometric functions of lunar crater walls by photography from orbiting Apollo
R.L. Wildey
1971, Icarus (15) 93-99
By the use of only relative photometry (intraframe) it is shown that the photometric functions of material reposed on the inner walls of some of the ypunger lunar craters photographed on the far side of the Moon from the Apollo 11 Command Module...
Giant American brook lampreys, Lampetra lamottei, in the upper Great Lakes
Patrick J. Manion, Harold A. Purvis
1971, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (28) 616-620
Five female American brook lampreys, Lampetra lamottei, collected in lakes Michigan and Huron averaged nearly twice as long and about six times as heavy as American brook lampreys of normal size. Three factors suggested that the giant lampreys may have fed parasitically after metamorphosis: morphological adaptations of the species for parasitic...
Alewife dieoffs: Why do they occur?
Peter J. Colby
1971, Limnos (4) 18-27
Periodid midwinter, early spring, and summer mortalities of alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus) have been common in the Great Lakes since the first appearance of the silvery marine invader in Lake Ontario in the mid-1870's. In 1967 a nationally publicized dieoff of tremendous magnitude (estimated at several hundred million pounds of...
Albinism in lampreys in the upper Great Lakes
Robert A. Braem, Everett L. King
1971, Copeia (1971) 176-179
Albinism in fishes is relatively rare except in some stocks of hatchery-reared salmonids. In the Petromyzonidae, only four albino lampreys have been reported....
Effects of temperature on electrolyte balance and osmoregulation of the alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) in fresh and sea water
Jon G. Stanley, Peter J. Colby
1971, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (100) 624-638
A study of the effects of temperature and salinity on ionoregulation in the alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus, revealed that concentrations of sodium, potassium, and calcium in plasma and muscle were similar in fish adapted to fresh water and those adapted to sea water. The non-stressed alewife is apparently an excellent...
Some blood chemistry values for the juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
Gary Wedemeyer, K. Chatterton
1971, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada 606-608
Overlapping Gaussian distribution curves were resolved into normal ranges for 1800 clinical test values obtained from caudal arterial blood or plasma of more than 1000 juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) held under defined conditions of diet and temperature. Estimated normal blood chemistry ranges were bicarbonate, 9.5–12.6 mEq/liter; blood urea nitrogen (BUN),...

Results from the apollo-12 passive seismic experiment
G. Latham
1971, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (3) 4-9
The objective of the passive seismic experiment is to measure vibrations of the lunar surface produced by all natural and artificial sources of seismic energy and to use these data to deduce the internal structure and composition of the moon, the nature of forces which may cause deformation of the...

Hydrogeochemical effects of injecting wastes into a limestone aquifer near Pensacola, Florida
Donald A. Goolsby
1971, Groundwater (9) 13-19
Acidic industrial wastes have been injected into deep wells in a limestone aquifer near Pensacola, Florida, since 1963. Prior geohydrologic studies in the area had indicated that the limestone aquifer contained nonpotable water and was overlain by an extensive clay confining layer.Two injection wells are presently being used to inject...

A basket for washing benthological samples
James H. Selgeby
1971, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (100) 590-591
Since benthological samples collected with dredges are usually too large to be preserved in toto, a washing method must be employed to reduce the sample volume without losing or damaging the organisms. Traditionally, the sample is washed in a sieve until the volume is small enough for convenient handling...
Ship canals and aquatic ecosystems
William I. Aron, Stanford H. Smith
1971, Science (174) 13-20
Through a combination of ecosystem homeostasis and the perversity of man and nature, oftentimes the significant biological changes effected by environmental modifications are not detected until long after the initial change has taken place. The immediate impact, which may range from the spectacular to the undetectable, is a deceptive measure...

Thermoluminescence of Apollo 12 lunar samples
Richard R. Doell, G. Brent Dalrymple
1971, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (10) 357-360
Thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve and decay characteristics of Apollo 12 fines and soil samples are similar to those from Apollo 11. Interpretation of the results from the core sample is difficult because of inadequate sample, spacing, but it appears that the part...
Calcium-magnesium carbonate solid solutions from Holocene conglomerate cements and travertines in the Coast Range of California
I. Barnes, J. R. O’Neil
1971, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (35) 699-718
Two calcium-magnesium carbonate solid solutions form Holocene travertines and conglomerate cements in fresh water stream channels of the Coast Range of California. Calcite does not yield the {015} diffraction maximum. The {006} diffraction maximum is lacking over most of the range of composition...
40Ar/39Ar technique of KAr dating: A comparison with the conventional technique
G. Brent Dalrymple, M. A. Lanphere
1971, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (12) 300-308
K-Ar ages have been determined by the40Ar/39Ar total fusion technique on 19 terrestrial samples whose conventional K-Ar ages range from 3.4 my to nearly 1700 my. Sample materials included biotite, muscovite, sanidine, adularia, plagioclase, hornblende, actinolite, alunite, dacite, and basalt. For 18...
Variation of iridium in a differentiated tholeiitic dolerite
L. P. Greenland
1971, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (35) 319-322
Iridium has been determined in a drill core from the Great Lake (Tasmania) dolerite sheet. Iridium decreases systematically from the mafic dolerites (0.25 ppb) to the granophyres (0.006 ppb). The trend with differentiation closely parallels that of chromium....
Isotopic composition of strontium in three basalt-andesite centers along the Lesser Antilles arc
C. E. Hedge, J.F. Lewis
1971, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (32) 39-47
Si87/Sr86 ratios have been determined for lavas and py lastic rocks from three basalt-andesite centers along the Lesser Antilles arc—Mt. Misery on the island of St. Kitts, Soufriere on the island of St. Vincent, and Carriacou, an island of The Grenadines. The average Si87/Sr86 content of these rocks...
Scanning electron microscopy of clays and clay minerals
B.F. Bohor, R.E. Hughes

The scanning electron microscope (SEM) proves to be ideally suited for studying the configuration, texture, and fabric of clay samples. Growth mechanics of crystalline units—interpenetration and interlocking of crystallites, crystal habits, twinning, helical growth, and topotaxis—also are uniquely revealed by the SEM.Authigenic kaolins make up the bulk of the examples...

Spectral reflectance and photometric properties of selected rocks
Robert D. Watson
1971, Remote Sensing of Environment (2) 95-100
Studies of the spectral reflectance and photometric properties of selected rocks at the USGS Mill Creek, Oklahoma, remote sensing test site demonstrate that discrimination of rock types is possible through reflection measurements, but that the discrimination is complicated by surface conditions, such as weathering and lichen growth. Comparisons between fresh-broken,...

Sampling of fish muscle for M.S.222 and quinaldine residues
Charles W. Luhning, Paul D. Harman
1971, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (28) 113-115
Large variations in concentrations of M.S. 222 (tricaine methanesulfonate) and quinaldine (2-methylquinoline) residues occurred in various areas of fish fillets. Residue analyses of replicate samples from homogenized fillets yielded more representative results than samples cut from various areas of fillets....
