Hydrologic appraisal of the water resources of the Homer-Preble Valley, New York
William Buller
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-94
Water resources of Homer-Preble Valley, 1 to 2 miles wide and 9 miles long, in central New York, were appraised because the area is expected to undergo considerable residential development in the near future. The main source of water supply to the residents of the area is the glacial-outwash aquifer....

Stability of fluoride complex with silica and its distribution in natural water systems
C. E. Roberson, R.B. Barnes
1978, Chemical Geology (21) 239-256
Fluoride reacts with silicic acid to form SiF2−6. A fluoride electrode was used to obtain an equilibrium constant of 1030.18 for the reaction:Si(OH)06+ 6F−+4H+=SiF2−6+ 4H2O">Si(OH)06+ 6F−+4H+=SiF2−6+ 4H2O at 25°CAlthough there may be some experimental evidence for...
Geology and ground water in Door County, Wisconsin, with emphasis on contamination potential in the Silurian dolomite
Marvin G. Sherrill
1978, Water Supply Paper 2047
Door County is in northeastern Wisconsin and is an area of 491 square miles. The county forms the main body of the peninsula between Green Bay and Lake Michigan. The land surface is an upland ridge controlled by the underlying bedrock. The west edge of the ridge forms an escarpment...

Radon emanation on San Andreas Fault
C.-Y. King
1978, Nature (271) 516-519
Subsurface radon emanation monitored in shallow dry holes along an active segment of the San Andreas fault in central California shows spatially coherent large temporal variations that seem to be correlated with local seismicity. ??1978 Nature Publishing Group....
Interpretation of a Landsat image of an unusual flood phenomenon in Australia
Charles J. Robinove
1978, Remote Sensing of Environment (7) 219-225
A Landsat image of part of the flooded area of Cooper Creek, Queensland, Australia, in February 1974, shows large dark areas within the flooded valley. The dark areas are believed to be wet, but unflooded, areas of dark alluvial soil. These striking features, which have not previously been identified on...
Formation of lunar basin rings
C. A. Hodges, D.E. Wilhelms
1978, Icarus (34) 294-323
The origin of the multiple concentric rings that characterize lunar impact basins, and the probable depth and diameter of the transient crater have been widely debated. As an alternative to prevailing “megaterrace” hypotheses, we propose that the outer scarps or mountain rings that delineate the topographic rims of basins—the Cordilleran...
Minerals produced during cooling and hydrothermal alteration of ash flow tuff from Yellowstone drill hole Y-5
T. E. C. Keith, L.J.P. Muffler
1978, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (3) 373-402
A rhyolitic ash-flow tuff in a hydrothermally active area within the Yellowstone caldera was drilled in 1967, and cores were studied to determine the nature and distribution of primary and secondary mineral phases. The rocks have undergone a complex history of crystallization and hydrothermal alteration since their emplacement 600,000 years...
Applications of the VLF induction method for studying some volcanic processes of Kilauea volcano, Hawaii
C.J. Zablocki
1978, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (3) 155-195
The very low-frequency (VLF) induction method has found exceptional utility in studying various volcanic processes of Kilauea volcano, Hawaii because: (1) significant anomalies result exclusively from ionically conductive magma or still-hot intrusions (> 800??C) and the attendant electrolytically conductive hot groundwater; (2) basalt flows forming the bulk of Kilauea have...
Orthogonal mapping: A computer program for quantifying shape differences
T. Huffman, R. A. Christopher, J. E. Hazel
1978, Computers & Geosciences (4) 121-130
Quantitative differences in the shape of two or more objects can be obtained by Orthogonal Mapping provided coincidental or analogous points can be identified on each object. The least-squares difference between each set of analogous points is determined by use of a projective transformation of a set of measured points...

Reproduction of raccoons (Procyon lotor) in North Dakota
E.K. Fritzell
1978, American Midland Naturalist (100) 253-256
Necropsies and observations of captive and radio-equipped individuals provided reproductive data from a raccoon population in the northern prairies. The mean parturition date of adult females was 8 May and the mean litter size was 4.8. Only two of the 14 yearling females examined prior to 1 July were pregnant;...
