Duck plague: carrier state and gross pathology in black ducks
Jorge E. Ossa
1975, Thesis
Duck plague (UP) is a highly fatal disease of ducks, geese, and swans (family Anatidae), produced by a reticulo-endotheliotrophic virus classified as a member of the Herpesvirus group. The disease was recognized in Europe in 1949. On the American continent, the disease was first diagnosed in the United States in...

Age determination of female redhead ducks
C.W. Dane, Douglas H. Johnson
1975, Journal of Wildlife Management (39) 256-263
Eighty-seven fall-collected wings from female redhead ducks (Aythya americana) were assigned to the adult or juvenile group based on 'tertial' and 'tertial covert' shape and wear. To obtain spring age-related characters from these fall-collected groupings, we considered parameters of flight feathers retained until after the first breeding season. Parameters measured...
Thermomagnetic analysis of meteorites, 2. C2 chondrites
D.E. Watson, E.E. Larson, J.M. Herndon, M.W. Rowe
1975, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (27) 101-107
Samples of all eighteen of the known C2 chondrites have been analyzed thermomagnetically. For eleven of these, initial Fe3O4 content is low (generally <1%) and theJs-T curves are irreversible. The heating curves show variable greater (up to 10 times) than it is initially. This...
Leech (Hirudinea) infestations among waterfowl near Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

1975, Canadian Field-Naturalist (89) 234-243
Fourteen species of aquatic birds, including 11 species of ducks, were infested with leeches Theromyzon rude and Placobdella ornata near Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Leeches infested 88% of 41 American Wigeon (Anas americana) and 31% of 86 Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis) examined after death. Lesser Scaup captured by drive-trapping contained significantly...

Effects of pH on toxicity of antimycin to fish
L. L. Marking
1975, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (32) 769-773
Detoxification of antimycin at pH 9.5 was caused by two factors. The piscicide was biologically unavailable at the high pH, and this unavailability was reversed by decreasing the pH of water solutions. Simultaneously antimycin detoxified with time, and the resulting loss in toxicity was irreversible. The toxicity of antimycin was...
The role of indigenous wild, semidomestic, and exotic birds in the epizootiology of velogenic viscerotropic Newcastle disease in southern California, 1972-1973
G.L. Pearson, M.K. McCann
1975, Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (167) 610-614
During an epornitic of velogenic viscerotropic Newcastle disease (VVND) in southern California, free-flying wild birds, captive and free-ranging semidomestic birds, and exotic birds were collected from the quarantine area to determine their role in the epizootiology of the disease. The VVND virus was isolated from 0.04% of 9,446 free-flying wild...

Rare earths in the Leadville Limestone and its marble derivates
J.C. Jarvis, T.R. Wildeman, N.G. Banks
1975, Chemical Geology (16) 27-37
Samples of unaltered and metamorphosed Leadville Limestone (Mississippian, Colorado) were analyzed by neutron activation for ten rare-earth elements (REE). The total abundance of the REE in the least-altered limestone is 4–12 ppm, and their distribution patterns are believed to be dominated by...
Limitations on analysis of small particles with an electron probe: Pollution studies
Robert H. Heidel, G. A. Desborough
1975, Environmental Pollution (8) 185-191
Recent literature concerning the size and composition of airborne lead particles in automobile exhaust emission determined by electron microprobe analysis reports fourteen distinct lead compounds. Particle sizes reported were from 0·2 μm to 2 μm in diameter. The determination of chemical formulae for compounds requires quantitative elemental data for individual...
Age of amphibolites associated with alpine peridotites in the Dinaride ophiolite zone, Yugoslavia
M. A. Lanphere, R. G. Coleman, S. Karamata, J. Pamic
1975, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (26) 271-276
Amphibolites associated with alpine peridotites in the Central Ophiolite zone in Yugoslavia have K-Ar ages of 160–170 m.y. These amphibolites and associated peridotites underwent deep-seated metamorphism prior to tectonic emplacement into the sedimentary-volcanic assemblage of the Dinarides. The alpine peridotites and associated...

Thoracic collapse as affected by the retia thoracica in the dolphin

1975, Respiration Physiology (25) 63-70
The carcass of a subadult female Delphinus was placed in a hyperbaric chamber and subjected to two simulated dives each equivalent to 69.7 m. In one dive the thorax was in its natural state, and in the other 100 ml of water had been injected into each pleural cavity. Various morphometric...
The Néel transition and magnetic properties of terrestrial, synthetic, and lunar ilmenites
Frank E. Senftle, Arthur N. Thorpe, Charles Briggs, Corrine Alexander, Jean A. Minkin, David L. Griscom
1975, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (26) 377-386
The magnetic susceptibility of a terrestrial, synthetic and lunar ilmenite specimen has been measured from 4 to 300 K. All specimens had a single Néel temperature transition which ranged from 56 to 57.7 K. In one case the powdered specimen was partially aligned in the magnetic field prior to the...
Determining earthquake recurrence intervals from deformational structures in young lacustrine sediments
John D. Sims
1975, Tectonophysics (29) 141-152
Examination of the silty sediments in the lower Van Normal reservoir after the 1971 San Fernando, California earthquake revealed three zones of deformational structures in the 1-m-thick sequence of sediments exposed over about 2 km2 of the reservoir bottom. These zones are correlated with moderate earthquakes that shook the San Fernando...
