Computation of peak discharge at culverts
Rolland William Carter
1957, Circular 376
Methods for computing peak flood flow through culverts on the basis of a field survey of highwater marks and culvert geometry are presented. These methods are derived from investigations of culvert flow as reported in the literature and on extensive laboratory studies of culvert flow. For convenience in computation, culvert...

A regional gravity survey of the Cuyuna Iron Range, Minnesota
George Austin Durfee
1957, Open-File Report 57-41
A regional gravity survey of the Cuyuna Iron Range, Minnesota, was conducted during the summer of 1955 by the U. S. Geological Survey. It was believed that gravity data would aid in the understanding of the major structures of the range. It was found that synclinal and steeply dipping structures...

A gamma-ray absorption method for the determination of uranium in ores
Alfred F. Hoyte
1957, Open-File Report 57-55
Current radioactivity methods used for the determination of uranium in ores are based on the assumption that secular equilibrium exists between the daughter products. Eichholz has developed a method which is claimed to be independent of the degree of equilibrium, but it has been found to be inadequate when used...
