Structure and growth of scales of yellow perch of Green Bay
Leonard S. Joeris
1957, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (86) 169-194
The appearance of the scales of yellow perch differs with the location on the fish's body. Comparison of scales of Green Bay perch taken above and below the lateral line reveals the former to have more sharply defined circuli and to exhibit fewer false annuli and less of the shading...
Thoron-meso-tartaric acid system for determination of thorium
Mary H. Fletcher, F. S. Grimaldi, Lillie B. Jenkins
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 963-967
In the spectrophotometric determination of thorium with thoron, meso-tartaric acid is used as a masking reagent for zirconium. The effects of different experimental variables such as the concentrations of the reagents, time, and temperature, and the behavior of 35 ions which might be present in thorium ores are discussed. A...
Minor elements in Keweenawan lavas, Michigan
H. R. Cornwall, H. J. Rose Jr.
1957, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (12) 209-224
The distribution of minor elements in three basaltic flows of the Keweenawan series, of Michigan, is related to differentiation in the flows. Thus, nickel is most abundant in the early differentiates; nickel, chromium, and barium are generally deficient in the pegmatites, which formed late; whereas copper, vanadium, yttrium, and other...
Systematic variation of rare-earth elements in cerium-earth minerals
K. J. Murata, H. J. Rose Jr., M. K. Carron, J.J. Glass
1957, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (11) 141-161
In a continuation of a study reported previously, rare-earth elements and thorium have been determined in monazite, allanite, cerite, bastnaesite, and a number of miscellaneous cerium-earth minerals. A quantity called sigma (∑), which is the sum of the atomic percentages of La, Ce, and Pr, is proposed as an index...
Selective precipitation of thorium iodate from a tartaric acid-hydrogen peroxide medium application to rapid spectrophotometric determination of thorium in Silicate Rocks and in Ores
F. S. Grimaldi
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 848-851
This paper presents a selective iodate separation of thorium from nitric acid medium containing d-tartaric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is prevented by the use of 8quinolinol. A few micrograms of thorium are separated sufficiently clean from 30 mg. of such oxides as cerium, zirconium,...
Comparison of the isotopic abundance of U235 and U238 and the radium activity ratios in Colorado Plateau uranium ores
F. E. Senftle, L. Stieff, F. Cuttitta, P.K. Kuroda
1957, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (11) 189-193
The isotopic abundances of uranium and the radium activity ratios of eleven samples of uranium ore from the Colorado Plateau have been measured. No significant variation in the isotopic abundance of the uranium was noted; with'in the experimental error, the average U235/U238 ratio is 137.7. There is a significant variation in...
U.S. Federal fishery research on the Great Lakes through 1956
Ralph Hile
1957, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 226
The major purpose of this publication is to present an annotated bibliography of papers resulting from Federal investigations on the Great Lakes fish and fisheries since the formal initiation of a continuing research program by the Fish and Wildlife Service. It is believed that this purpose can be served best...
History of Red Lakes fishery, 1917-38, with observations on population status
John Van Oosten, Hilary J. Deason
1957, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 229
A historical account traces the development of the commercial fisheries of the Red Lakes, Minnesota, from its inception in 1917 as a war measure through 1938. The trends of production and catch per unit of effort were followed for the principal species with notes on statistics of the minor...
The control of the upstream movement of fish with pulsated direct current
Alberton L. McLain
1957, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (86) 269-284
Alternating-current electromechanical devices installed in the mouths of streams have proved effective in stopping the spawning migrations of the parasitic sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) which has seriously damaged Great Lakes fisheries. In a few streams, excessive mortality has occurred to other fish at the alternating-current barriers. A direct-current unit was...
A fluorimetric study of the thorium-morin system
R.G. Milkey, M. H. Fletcher
1957, Journal of the American Chemical Society (79) 5425-5435
Thorium reacts with morin to yield a yellow complex that fluoresces when irradiated with ultraviolet light. The effect on the fluorescence of such variables as concentration of acid, alcohol, thorium, morin, and complex; time, temperature and wave length of exciting light are studied to determine experimental conditions yielding maximum fluorescence....
Modified determination of radium in water
F. B. Barker, L. L. Thatcher
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 1573-1575
The proposed method embodies a barium sulfate carrier precipitation, filtration through molecular filter membranes, and collection of activity after prescribed aging period. The method is sufficiently accurate and precise to indicate the potability of water and for use in general studies of radium in chemical hydrology. Amounts of radium as...
Water problems in the present trend towards greater aridity
Luna Bergere Leopold
Harmon Craig, editor(s)
1957, Conference Paper, Proceedings: Conference on recent research in climatology
In the past few days we have heard a number of scientists, gathered here at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, discuss research work which, in one manner or another, bears on problems related to water resources. They have been discussing, particularly, problems in the field of climatology, and have speculated on...
On the postglacial history of the Devils Lake Region, North Dakota
Saul Aronow
1957, The Journal of Geology (65) 410-427
Devils and Stump lakes in eastern North Dakota have been diminishing in area more or less continuously since the land around them was settled in the 1880's. Desiccations similar to the current one have occurred at least once and possibly two or more times in the past and are indicated...
Semi-quantitative spectrographic analysis and rank correlation in geochemistry
F.J. Flanagan
1957, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (12) 315-322
The rank correlation coefficient, rs, which involves less computation than the product-moment correlation coefficient, r, can be used to indicate the degree of relationship between two elements. The method is applicable in situations where the assumptions underlying normal distribution correlation theory may not be satisfied. Semi-quantitative spectrographic analyses which are reported as...
Limnological surveys of the Great Lakes--early and recent
Stanford H. Smith
1957, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (86) 409-418
Early explorations on the Great Lakes were concerned largely with things easily collected or observed—common organisms, water levels, surface temperatures … Even when more scientific studies were undertaken, they were at first scattered and small-scale. Effective surveys became possible only through inter-agency cooperation which permits a pooling of facilities, staff,...
X-ray spectrographic determination of cesium and rubidium
J. M. Axelrod, I. Adler
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 1280-1281
An x-ray spectrographic method for the determination of rubidium and cesium was developed, using the internal-standard method and a four-channel flat-crystal spectrograph. The sensitivity is within 0.1% for cesia and 0.02% for rubidia; the precision is within 10% of the amount present. Results agree well with those obtained by flame...
