Equipment and techniques for low-altitude aerial sensing of water-vapor concentration and movement
R.L. Howell
1969, Remote Sensing of Environment (1) 13-18
Progress in the development of equipment and techniques for making rapid measurements of moisture movement through the atmosphere over a large area is described. Airborne sensing elements measure relative humidity, temperature, and air currents. These data are telemetered to a ground-based station...
Surface area of vermiculite with nitrogen and carbon dioxide as adsorbates
Josephus Thomas Jr., Bruce F. Bohor
1969, Clays and Clay Minerals (17) 205-209
Surface-area studies were made on several homoionic vermiculites with both nitrogen and carbon dioxide as adsorbates. These studies show that only very slight penetration occurs between individual vermiculite platelets. This is in contrast to an earlier investigation of montmorillonite where it was found that the degree of penetration between layers...
Quantitative comparison of peritoneal washes and feces for detecting infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) virus in carrier brook trout
J.L. Billi, K. Wolf
1969, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (26) 1459-1465
Paired fecal samples and peritoneal washes were taken from 300 18-month-old brook trout for determining their relative value in detecting IPN virus. The testing of feces revealed 14 times as many carriers as were found by peritoneal washes. Initial examinations showed at least 63% of the fish to be carriers...
Heat flow measurements on the southeast coast of Australia

1969, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (7) 12-16
Three boreholes have been drilled for the Australian National University near the southeast coast of New South Wales, Australia. The heat flows found are 1.1, 1.0, and 1.3 μcal/cm2sec. The errors resulting from the proximity of the sea and a lake, surface...
U.S. Geological Survey standards-II. First compilation of data for the new U.S.G.S. rocks
F.J. Flanagan
1969, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (33) 81-120
Rock analyses, determinations of major and minor constituents, and determinations of 57 trace elements reported by analysts throughout the world are presented for the new series of U.S. Geological Survey rock samples. Averages for both the constituents generally reported in a rock analysis...
A paleomagnetic study of secular variation in New Zealand
A. Cox
1969, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (6) 257-267
Ancient secular variation in New Zealand was determined from paleomagnetic measurements on 22 volcanic formations with ages of less than 0.68 m.y. The angular standard deviation from the field of an axial dipole is 13.2° with 95% confidence limits between 10.9° and 16.7°....
Dilemma posed by uranium-series dates on archaeologically significant bones from Valsequillo, Puebla, Mexico
Barney J. Szabo, H.E. Malde, C. Irwin-Williams
1969, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (6) 237-244
In an attempt to date stone artifacts of Early Man excavated from several sites at the Valsequillo Reservoir, a few kilometers south of Puebla, Mexico, Szabo applied the uranium-series method on bone samples known to be either from the same geologic formation as...
Rapid determination of filterable residue in natural waters
Herbert E. Allen, Charles W. Bacon
1969, Journal - American Water Works Association (61) 355-356
The most widely used procedures for determining filterable residue (total dissolved solids) in water are macromethods given in Standard Methods. Although macromethods give good results, they require large amounts of water and long drying times. This report describes a microtechnique for determining filterable residue that requires only 0.05...

Evaluation of lamprey larvicides in the Big Garlic River and Saux Head Lake
Patrick J. Manion
1969, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (26) 3077-3082
Bayluscide (5,2′-dichloro-4′-nitrosalicylanilide) and TFM (3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol) were evaluated as selective larvicides for control of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, in the Big Garlic River and Saux Head Lake in Marquette County, Michigan. Population estimates and movement of ammocetes were determined from the recapture of marked ammocetes released before chemical treatment. In 1966...

Glaciers and water supply
Mark Meier
1969, Journal American Water Works Association (61) 8-12
Glaciers are one of the few large sources of water supply that remain unexploited. With the advance of civilization into the subpolar regions, a better understanding of glacier hydrology becomes increasingly important....
Selected hydrologic data, southern Utah and Goshen Valleys, Utah
R.M. Cordova
1969, Utah Basic-Data Release 16
The purpose of this report is to present basic geologic, ground-water, surface-water, and quality of water data that are useful for the study and effective development of the water resources of southern Utah and Goshen Valleys. This report supplements an interpretive report which will be published later.Much of the basic...

Some triple-filament lead isotope ratio measurements and an absolute growth curve for single-stage leads
J. S. Stacey, M.E. Delevaux, T.J. Ulrych
1969, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (6) 15-25
Triple-filament analyses of three standard lead samples are used to calibrate a mass spectrometer in an absolute sense. The bias we measure is 0.0155 percent per mass unit, and the precision (for 95% confidence limits) is ±0.13% or less for all ratios relative to204Pb. Although its precision is not quite...

Chronic oral DDT toxicity in juvenile coho and chinook salmon
Donald R. Buhler, Mary E. Rasmusson, W.E. Shanks
1969, Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology (14) 535-555
Technical and p,p′-DDT was incorporated into test diets and fed to juvenile chinook and coho salmon for periods as long as 95 days. Pure p,p′-DDT was slightly more toxic to young salmon than was the technical DDT mixture. Chinook salmon appeared to be 2–3 times more sensitive to a given concentration of...

Effect of feeding and of DDT on the activity of hepatic glucose 6- phosphate dehydrogenase in two salmonids
Donald R. Buhler, P. Benville
1969, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (26) 3209-3216
The specific activity of liver glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase in yearling rainbow trout remained unchanged when the fish were starved for periods as long as 8 weeks and when starved animals were fed diets of various compositions. Injection of insulin concurrently with refeeding also failed to alter the specific activity of...
