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...
Quantitative radiochemical methods for determination of the sources of natural radioactivity
J. N. Rosholt
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 1398-1408
Study of the state of equilibrium of any natural radioactive source requires determination of several key nuclides or groups of nuclides to find their contribution to the total amount of radioactivity. Alpha activity measured by scintillation counting is used for determination of protactinium-231, thorium-232, thorium-230, and radium-226. The chemical procedures...
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...
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,...
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...
Ringworm in a population of snowshoe hares
Lowell W. Adams, S. B. Salvin, W. J. Hadlow
1956, Journal of Mammalogy (37) 94-99
The occurrence of ringworm, or dermatomycosis, in wild animals has been rarely reported. DeLamater (1939) described infections of Trichophyton mentagrophytes in common gray squirrels on and near the Johns Hopkins University campus at Baltimore. Errington (1942) and Charles (1946) reported on the occurrence of T. mentagrophytes in 35 of 364 litters (9.6%) of muskrats...
Lignasan for bacterial gill disease
Robert R. Rucker, B. J. Earp, Roger E. Burrows
1956, Progressive Fish-Culturist (18) 75-77
Bacterial gill disease plagues salmon and trout in many hatcheries: some infections are sporadic, but others are continual. An inexpensive, easily applied, stable, safe chemical would be highly advantageous for treatment. The use of Roccal as a 1-hour treatment for bacterial gill disease (Fish 1947) was developed at the...
Long-term trends of ground-water levels in the United States
V.C. Fishel
1956, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (37) 429-435
Ground-water levels at the end of 1954 were at or near record-low stages throughout most of the southern two-thirds of the United States. These low stages, like those of the early 1930's, have led to frequent expression of the opinion that the water table throughout the country is continuously falling...
Tissue damage in salmonids caused by Halisidota argentata Packard
E. M. Wood, W. T. Yasutake
1956, Journal of Parasitology (42) 544-546
During the histological examination of a collection of wild and hatchery salmonids, a peculiar foreign body was occasionally observed in various organs, particularly in the viscera. These objects, usually accompanied by a focal inflammation, were observed in 10 of 75 samples of wild trout and salmon collected in Oregon and...
Ground water in Wisconsin
William James Drescher
1956, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 3
The purpose of this report is to describe in general the occurrence, source, movement, and use of ground water in Wisconsin in order that present problems of ground-water development may be understood and to point out the need for study and evaluation of the potential ground water available. Areas with...
Preliminary chemical quality study in the Manhattan Beach area, California
Robert Brennan
1956, Bulletin 63-E
In 1904 Mendenhall (1905) made a survey of the ground water conditions in southern California. At the time of his survey the piezometric surface in the area was above sea level, but since that time water levels have declined. During the 1920's, years of rapid development, the water levels declined...
Interim report on surface water resources and quality of waters in Lee County, Florida
William E. Kenner, Eugene Brown
1956, Information Circular 7
The purpose of this report is to provide such information on the surface-water resources of the county as inay be useful in planning for their more intensive use. This report is not intended to provide final answers to all questions concerning the occurrence of surface water in the c:ounty; because...
Heavy-mineral suites in unconsolidated Paleocene and younger sands, western Tennessee
Reginald R. Blankenship
1956, Journal of Sedimentary Petrology (26) 356-362
Heavy-mineral suites from unconsolidated sands of Wilcox and Claiborne age (Eocene) in the subsurface of western Tennessee were tabulated and compared with heavy-mineral suites obtained from outcropping sands known to be of Midway (Paleocene) and Wilcox age and younger. In the subsurface at Memphis, both pink and colorless garnet are...
