1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 37-39
The western part of the State was shaken strongly by the New Madrid, Mo., earthquakes of 1811-12 and by earthquakes in 1843 and 1895. The area has also experienced minor shocks. Additional activity has occurred in the eastern part of the State, near the North Carolina border. Forty shocks of...
Earthquakes in the United States
C. Stover
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 32-33
To supplement data in the report Preliminary Determination of Epicenters (PDE), the National earthquake Information Service (NEIS) also publishes a quarterly circular, Earthquakes in the United States. This provides information on the felt area of U.S earthquakes and their intensity. The main purpose is to describe the larger effects of these earthquakes so that...
Measuring the size of an earthquake
W. Spence
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 21-23
Earthquakes occur in a broad range of sizes. A rock burst in an Idaho silver mine may involve the fracture of 1 meter of rock; the 1965 Rat island earthquake in the Aleutian arc involved a 650-kilometer lenght of Earth's crust. Earthquakes can be even smaller and even larger. if...
Earthquakes: August-September 1976
W. J. Person
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 32-33
Destructive earthquakes continued to strike in many parts of the world during this period. The sparsely populated area of the New Hebrides Islands in the southwest Pacific was struck by a major earthquake (one with a magnitude between 7.0 and 7.9). A great earthquake (magnitude 8.0 or above) struck just...

1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 28-29
The month of December was seismically quiet compared to the previous months of the year. There were no major earthquakes during the month and only one that caused fatalities. On December 8, the Republic of South Africa was struck by an earthquake that caused deaths and damage. The United States...
When an earthquake occurs....
W. J. Person
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 17-19
When an earthquake occurs, we must be ready at the National Earthquake Information Service (NEIS) in Golden, Colo., to provide information as to its magnitude and epicenter as quickly as possible.This information is given to agencies concerned with disaster relief and to the press. A typical scenario for our operations...

Effect on tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) on hematocrit values in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
G. L. Reinitz, J. Rix
1977, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, Part C: Comparative Pharmacology (56) 115-116
1. Anesthesia of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) with 70 ppm tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) for 3-9 min resulted in a linear increase in hematocrit.2. Handling of unanesthetized trout caused a higher and more variable hematocrit reading than did exposure to MS-222 for up to 3 min.3. The range and standard error...

Inheritance of muscle and liver types of supernatant NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
G. L. Reinitz
1977, Biochemical Genetics (15) 445-454
The genetics of allelic variation for NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH-s) found in the supernatant of liver and white muscle extracts of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) was examined. Twenty progeny from each of 50 controlled matings were examined for IDH phenotypes. Progeny data clearly indicated that the IDH-s variation in the muscle is...
Tests for association of transferrin and lactate dehydrogenase phenotypes with weight gain in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
G. L. Reinitz
1977, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (34) 2333-2337
Transferrin (Tf) phenotype was associated with weight gain in 147- and 230-day-old rainbow trout, but no association was found between lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) phenotype and weight gain. A total of 2038 progeny were examined from two different environments. Progeny lots were reared at densities below those known to affect mean...
Selected hydrologic data, Parowan Valley and Cedar City Valley drainage basins, Iron County, Utah

1977, Utah Basic-Data Release 28
This report presents selected basic data from a study of the ground- water resources of the Parowan Valley and Cedar City Valley drainage basins, Iron County, Utah. The study was made during 1973-75 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water...

Suspended particle transport and circulation in San Francisco Bay - an overview
T. J. Conomos, D. H. Peterson
1977, Book chapter, Estuarine processes: circulation, sediments, and transfer of material in the estuary
Differences in the relative magnitude and timing of wind stress and river inflow in the northern and southern reaches of San Francisco Bay create different sedimentary conditions. The northern reach is a partially to well mixed estuary receiving most of the total annual fresh-water input (840 m3 sec−1) and suspended sediment...
Earthquake history of South Dakota
C. A. von Hake
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 35-36
Twelve earthquakes of intensity V or greater (Modified Mercalli scale) have centered within the borders of South Dakota. All the shocks were rather localized, except that of 1911 which was felt over an area of approximately 100,000 km2. Some earthquakes from neighboring States were felt strongly in South Dakota. ...

C. A. von Hake
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 30-32
Seventeen earthquakes, intensity V or greater, have centered in Texas since 1882, when the first shock was reported. The strongest earthquake, a maximum intensity VIII, was in western Texas in 1931 and was felt over 1 165 000 km 2. Three shocks in the Panhandle region in 1925, 1936, and 1943...
