Calculations of upper-mantle velocity from published Soviet earthquake data
Robert G. Rodriquez
1965, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 30
The lack of information on mantle velocities and crustal structure of the U.S.S.R. has led to a preliminary examination of published Soviet earthquake bulletins in the hope of deriving useful velocity and structure information from the data they contain. Mantle velocities deduced from earthquake data on several Russian earthquakes are...

Changes in the bottom fauna of western Lake Erie from 1930 to 1961
John F. Carr, Jarl K. Hiltunen
1965, Limnology and Oceanography (10) 551-569
Samples were collected at 40 stations in western Lake Erie in 1961 to determine the species composition, distribution, and abundance of macrobenthonic organisms and to document changes since 1930, when a similar survey was made. The fauna in 1961 was composed principally of Oligochaeta, Tendipedidae (7 genera), Sphaeriidac (15 species),...
Use of flumes in measuring discharge at gaging stations
F. A. Kilpatrick
1965, Report, Surface Water Techniques: Book 1: Hydraulic measurement and computation

Infectious pancreatic necrosis: its detection and identification
K. Wolf
1965, Progressive Fish-Culturist (27) 112-112
Ultimate control of infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in hatcheries depends largely upon learning where the virus occurs. To detect the presence of virus either susceptible fish or susceptible fish cell cultures may be used as test systems. In modern virology, it is generally agreed that cell cultures are more convenient,...
What is water?
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1965, Report
If a schoolboy asked this question, you would answer it easily enough. "Why, water is a liquid found in and around the earth. Water is the sea, lakes, streams, springs and what comes gushing out of the tap when we turn it on." If he still looks a little unsatisfied,...

Rodent repellents, correlation between chemical structure and rodent repellency of benzoic acid derivatives
J.E. Fearn, J.B. DeWitt
1965, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (13) 116-117
Sixty-five benzoic acid derivatives were either prepared or obtained from commercial concerns, tested for rat repellency, and their indices of repellency computed. The data from these tests were considered analytically for any correlation between chemical structure and rat repellency. The results suggest a qualitative relationship which is useful...

Care of captive woodcocks
William H. Stickel, William G. Sheldon, Lucille F. Stickel
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 161-172
Numbers of American woodcocks (Philohela minor) were held in cages for experimental work lasting several months. Injuries caused by birds attempting to flush were greatly reduced by clipping feathers from one wing, by making cage walls opaque, and by using high cages or false ceilings of fabric. Size of cage...

W. H. Stickel, D. W. Hayne, L.F. Stickel
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 132-146
The effects on woodcocks (Philohela minor) of eating heptachlor-contaminated earthworms were studied experimentally in a series of feeding trials in Louisiana in the winter of 1960-61. Six of 12 woodcocks fed worms which had been contaminated at an average of 2.86 ppm of heptachlor epoxide died within 35 days; 4...

1965, Science (148) 90-91
In Hanover, New Hampshire, where elms were sprayed with DDT, 151 dead birds were found; 10 dead birds were found in Norwich, Vermont, where no DDT was used. Chemical analyses of dead birds, observation of symptoms of DDT poisoning, and a population decline after spraying all indicate severe mortality among...

1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 147-155
Response of woodcocks (Philohela minor) to heptachlor dosage was closely related to the physical condition of the birds, as reflected by body weight and by body weight in relation to capture weight: in a series of tests with underweight birds, nearly all woodcocks died at dosage levels well below those...
