Nationwide residues of mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, and selenium in starlings, 1973
Donald H. White, J. R. Bean, J. R. Longcore
1977, Pesticides Monitoring Journal (11) 35-39
Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) collected in 1973 at 51 sites throughout the continental United States were analyzed for mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, and selenium. All samples contained detectable levels of these elements. In general, residues were low: mercury residues ranged from <0.01 to 0.20 ppm: lead, from <0.10 10 3.20 ppm:...

Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1977, Water Data Report WA-76-1
Water resources data for the 1976 water year for Washington, consist of records, of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels in wells and springs. This report, in two volumes, contains discharge records for 248 gaging stations; stage...
Inhibition of mallard salt gland function by DDE and organophosphates
Milton Friend, John H. Abel Jr.
1976, Book chapter, Wildlife diseases
The effects of selected environmental pollutants on avian salt gland function were studied in the mallard duck, Anas pZatyrhynchos. DDE and several organophosphates were found to have an inhibitory effect on the ability of these glands to concentrate and secrete salt from the body. DDE significantly reduced secretion rates from the...
The measurement of adenosine triphosphate in pure algal cultures and natural aquatic samples
W. Thomas Shoaf, Bruce W. Lium
1976, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (4) 241-245
Three methods for the extraction of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) neutral dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), boiling tris buffer, and butanol-octanol extraction were equally effective on the alga Chlorella vulgwia. Dilution of extracted ATP samples was linear. Filtration of different volumes of samples resulted in proportional values for ATP in the extracts. Measurement...
The heat capacities at low temperatures and entropies at 298.15 K of low albite, analbite, microline, and high sanidine
R. E. Openshaw, Bruce S. Hemingway, Richard A. Robie, David R. Waldbaum, K. M. Krupka
1976, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (4) 204
The heat capacities of low albite and analbite, NaAlSi3O8, and of microcline and high sanidine, KAlSi3Og, have been measured from 15 to 375 K using an adiabatic calorimeter. Tables of the thermodynamic functions C°p, (H°T–H°0)/T, (G°T–H°0)/T, and S°T–S°0 are presented for these four feldspars from 0 to 370 K. At...

Sexual maturation and productivity of Japanese quail fed graded concentrations of mercuric chloride
E. F. Hill, C.S. Shaffner
1976, Poultry Science (55) 1449-1459
Japanese quail (Coturnix c. japonica) were fed 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 p.p.m. Hg as mercuric chloride (HgCl2) from the time of hatching up to the age of 1 year. None of the birds manifested any gross signs of mercury poisoning. Food consumption, growth rate, and weight maintenance were unaffected....
