Rising ground-water level in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, 1972-1977
J. M. Kernodle, D. V. Whitesides
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-92
Ground-water levels in the alluvial aquifer in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky, are rising at a rate which could cause wet basements and possible structural damage tc buildings in the downtown area by 1982. The predicted water level for 1982 is based on the nearly linear increase which has been observed...
Reproductive steroids in the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus borealis). I. Seasonal changes in the female
E.D. Plotka, U.S. Seal, G.C. Schmoller, Patrick D. Karns, Kent D. Keenlyne
1977, Biology of Reproduction (16) 340-343
A total of 161 blood samples collected from 77 white-tailed does (Odocoileus virginianus borealis) during the years 1971 through 1974 in Minnesota were utilized to make a preliminary characterization of the estrogen and progesterone levels in pregnant and nonpregnant animals. Progesterone and estrogen were measured by radioimmunoassay. Progesterone levels during...

Can we control earthquakes?
B. Raleigh
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 4-7
In 1966, it was discovered that high pressure injection of industrial waste fluids into the subsurface near Denver, Colo., was triggering earthquakes. While this was disturbing at the time, it was also exciting because there was immediate speculation that here at last was a mechanism to control earthquakes. ...

Geochemical and hydrologic data for wells and springs in thermal-spring areas of the Appalachians
W.A. Hobba Jr., J.C. Chemerys, D.W. Fisher, F. J. Pearson Jr.
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-25
Current interest in geothermal potential of thermal-spring areas in the Appalachians enhances the value of data on thermal springs and wells in these areas. This report presents maps showing locations of selected springs and wells and tables of physical and chemical data pertaining to these wells and springs. The chemical...

Earthquake history of Virginia
C. A. von Hake
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 28-30
Virginia is a State of considerable seismic activity, although the earthquakes are rarely strong. Thirty-five shocks, intensity MM V or greater (Modified Mercalli Scale), are listed with epicenters within its borders. The locations of several of the older events are not precise; thus, the above count i subject to alteration....
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. ...
Immunization of pacific salmon: comparison of intraperitoneal injection and hyperosmotic infiltration of Vibrio anguillarum and Aeromonas salmonicida bacterins
Ross Antipa, Donald F. Amend
1977, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (34) 203-208
Two methods of immunizing fish, intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection and hyperosmotic infiltration, were compared for control of vibriosis and furunculosis in pen-reared coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha). Both methods provided significant protection against vibriosis under field test conditions. In coho salmon, hyperosmotic infiltration provided the best protection and...
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...
Relative yield of two transferrin phenotypes in coho salmon
John D. McIntyre, A. Kenneth Johnson
1977, Progressive Fish-Culturist (39) 175-177
Experimental groups of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) of transferring types AA and AC were compared to determine relative growth and survival before release, yields from the fishery, and returns of fish to the hatchery as 2- and 3-yr-olds. In the hatchery, growth was faster and survival higher in the AA...
Earthquake history of Tennessee
C. A. von Hake
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...
Square wave voltammetry at the dropping mercury electrode: Experimental
J.A. Turner, J. H. Christie, M. Vukovic, R. A. Osteryoung
1977, Analytical Chemistry (49) 1904-1908
Experimental verification of earlier theoretical work for square wave voltammetry at the dropping mercury electrode is given. Experiments using ferric oxalate and cadmium(II) in HCl confirm excellent agreement with theory. Experimental peak heights and peak widths are found to be within 2% of calculated results. An example of trace analysis...

1977, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (37) 107-116
New conventional K-Ar,40Ar/39Ar, and petrochemical data on alkalic basalt pebbles from the basalt conglomerate overlying tholeiitic flows in the Midway drill hole show that Midway evolved past the tholeiitic shield-building stage and erupted lavas of the alkalic suite27.0 ± 0.6m.y. ago. The data also show that previously published conventional K-Ar ages...

Reassociation and hybridization properties of DNAs from several species of fish
A.J. Gharrett, R.C. Simon, J.D. McIntyre
1977, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, Part B: Comparative Biochemistry (56) 81-85
Reassociation and hybridization properties from spectrophotometric studies of DNAs from 10 species of fish indicate:1. Great diversity in the amounts of repeated sequences in the genomes of different species - more specialized fish had less redundancy.2. Large differences in the complexities of the DNAs - more specialized fish had less...
Landslides
T. H. Nilsen
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 27-33
Landslides are frequent in areas where there is high seismicity and steep slopes. Landslides associated with earthquakes may cause as much damage as the initial ground shaking. They may also occur long after the earthquake. Some of the major earthquakes that have occurred during the past 15 years demonstrate the hazards...
