Mechanisms of high-temperature, solid-state flow in minerals and ceramics and their bearing on the creep behavior of the mantle
Stephen H. Kirby, C.B. Raleigh
1973, Tectonophysics (19) 165-194
The problem of applying laboratory silicate-flow data to the mantle, where conditions can be vastly different, is approached through a critical review of high-temperature flow mechanisms in ceramics and their relation to empirical flow laws. The intimate association of solid-state diffusion and high-temperature creep in pure metals is found to...
Spectrophotometric procedure using rhodamine B for determination of submicrogram quantities of antimony in rocks
Marian M. Schnepfe
1973, Talanta (20) 175-184
A spectrophotometric procedure using Rhodamine B is given for the determination of antimony in mineralized rocks after its separation as stibine. A study of the Rhodamine B reaction points to the importance of the order of addition of reagents in enhancing sensitivity and increasing the stability...

Review of wastewater problems and wastewater-management planning in the San Francisco Bay region, California
Walter G. Hines
1973, Open-File Report 73-112
The San Francisco Bay region has suffered adverse environmental effects related to the discharge of municipal-, industrial-, and agricultural- wastewater and storm-water runoff. Specific pollutional properties of theses discharges are not well understood in all cases although the toxic materials and aquatic-plant nutrients (biostimulants) found in municipal and industrial...
Water resources data for Washington, water year 1972; Part 1, Surface water records
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1973, Water Data Report WA-72-1
Surface-water records for the 1972 water year for Washington, including records of streamflow or reservoir storage at gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites, are given in this report and their locations shown in figures 1, 2. Records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States also are included....
Roughness coefficients for stream channels in Arizona
B. N. Aldridge, J.M. Garrett
1973, Open-File Report 73-3
When water flows in an open channel, energy is lost through friction along the banks and bed of the channel and through turbulence within the channel. The amount of energy lost is governed by channel roughness, which is expressed in terms of a roughness coefficient. An evaluation of the roughness...
Hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin
B. K. Holmstrom, W.A. Gebert, Ronald G. Borman
1973, Open-File Report 74-1049
The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin, which are needed by water-resource planners to evaluate a reservoir site proposed by the Whitecap Mountain Corporation on Alder Creek. The hydrologic characteristics estimated were the mean flows, low flows, flood peaks, suspended-sediment...

Flood of August 2, 1972, in the Little Maquoketa River basin, Dubuque County, Iowa
Albert J. Heinitz
1973, Open-File Report 73-107
Flood peaks with magnitudes from 2 to 3 times the SO-year flood occurred on streams in the Little Maquoketa River basin for the flood of August 2, 1972. Up to nine inches of rain fell in the headwater of the Middle Fork tributary with six to seven inches occurring over...
A review of proposed ground-water assessment studies in states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Mysore, India
Charles Lee Roy Holt Jr.
1973, Open-File Report 73-117
This report documents the findings and recommendations of the author, who was detailed for 30 days to USAID Mission to India to assist in preparing the scope of work for a USAID contract for consultant services for ground-water evaluation. The proposed study, Soil and Water Management Sub-project 368.6, covered three...

Bottom features and processes related to drifting ice on the Arctic shelf, Alaska
Erk Reimnitz, Peter W. Barnes, Tau Rho Alpha
1973, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 532
Early investigations of artic shelf regions led to the hypothesis that certain micro-relief forms are related to the action of grounded ice (for example, Rex, 1955). Since the introduction of side-scan sonar as a tool for ocean-floor surveys, a number of workers have described the occurrence of linear bottom features...
