Binorm-a fortran subroutine to calculate the percentiles of a standardized binormal distribution
R.B. McCammon
1977, Computers & Geosciences (3) 335-339
BINORM is a FORTRAN subroutine for calculating the percentiles of a standardized binormal distribution. By using a linear transformation, the percentiles of a binormal distribution can be obtained. The percentiles of a binormal distribution are useful for plotting purposes, for establishing confidence intervals, and for sampling from a mixed population...
Implications of a magnetic model of the Long Valley caldera, California
D.L. Williams, F. Berkman, Edward A. Mankinen
1977, Journal of Geophysical Research (82) 3030-3038
A quantitative magnetic model of Long Valley, California, shows that the magnetic field above this caldera is dominated by intracaldera Bishop tuff, part of the ash flow tuff whose eruption precipitated the caldera collapse. We propose that about half of the 350 km3 of intracaldera Bishop tuff, or that part beneath...
Fluorite solubility equilibria in selected geothermal waters
D. Kirk Nordstrom, E. A. Jenne
1977, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (41) 175-188
Calculation of chemical equilibria in 351 hot springs and surface waters from selected geothermal areas in the western United States indicate that the solubility of the mineral fluorite, CaF2, provides an equilibrium control on dissolved fluoride activity. Waters that are undersaturated...
The display flight of The North American Ruddy Duck
M. R. Miller, R.M. McLandress, B.J. Gray
1977, The Auk (94) 140-142
Sexual behavior of the North American Ruddy Duck (Oxyura jamaicensis), as summarized by Johnsgard (1965: 323-327), includes a display variously referred to as the ringing rush (Johnsgard 1965: 325; 1967), ring rush (Johnsgard 1966), and/or display flight (Johnsgard 1966, 1967), which males perform as a short rush across the water...
Terrestrial analogs of the Hellespontus dunes, Mars
C. S. Breed
1977, Icarus (30) 326-340
Geomorphic features in the Hellespontus region, Mars, were compared with dunes of the crescentic ridge type in numerous terrestrial sand seas quantitatively by dimensional analysis of dune lengths, widths, and wavelengths. Mean values for the Hellespontus dunes are close to mean values derived from measurements of all sampled terrestrial sand...
Energy allocation patterns of a sprouting and nonsprouting species of Arctostaphylos in the California chaparral
Jon E. Keeley, Sterling C. Keeley
1977, American Midland Naturalist (98) 1-10
The r- and K-selection theory was used to generate testable hypotheses about patterns of energy allocation in two chaparral shrubs of different reproductive strategies. Terminal-branchlet vegetative and reproductive biomass of the nonsprouting Arctostaphylos glauca and the sprouting A. glandulosa were sampled in a 23-year-old and a 90-year-old stand of chaparral...
Interpretation of discordant 40Ar/39Ar age-spectra of mesozoic tholeiites from Antarctica
R.J. Fleck, J. F. Sutter, D.H. Elliot
1977, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (41) 15-32
Conventional K-Ar ages of tholeiitic basalts of the Ferrar Group in the central Transantarctic Mountains indicate significant loss of radiogenic 40Ar from this unit over much of its outcrop area. Argon loss varies inversely with amount of devitrified matrix in the basalts, which have not been thermally or tectonically disturbed since...
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...
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...
