Seismic study of coal mine bumps, Carbon and Emery Counties, Utah
C. Richard Dunrud, Frank W. Osterwald
1964, Open-File Report 64-45
A continuously recording seismic network was constructed in 1962 by the U.S. Geological Survey to locate epicenters and record incidence of bumps (bounces, rock bursts) that occur in the bituminous coal mines of the Book Cliffs coal field near Sunnyside, Utah. The coal is mined because of its value as...

Determination of ammonium citrate-soluble cobalt in soils and sediments
Frank Cogswell Canney, G.A. Nowlan
1964, Open-File Report 64-30
A rapid field method for the determination of cold-extractable cobalt in soils and sediments has been developed for use in geochemical prospecting. Readily available cobalt is dissolved by treating the sample with an aqueous ammonium citrate-hydroxylamine hydrochloride solution; the filtered citrate extract is then treated with 2-nitroso1-naphthol to form a...

Magnetic properties of Pd, Pd-H and Pd-D from 300 degrees K to 4.2 degrees K
Arthur N. Thorpe
1964, Open-File Report 64-151
The magnetic properties of many substances first studied seriously by Faraday have played an important role in our modern technology. In particular, the magnetic properties of the transition elements are of great importance in the understanding of the electronic band form of these elements. Once the electronic band form is...
