Interlamellar adsorption of carbon dioxide by smectites
J.J. Fripiat, M.I. Cruz, B.F. Bohor, J. Thomas Jr.
1974, Clays and Clay Minerals (22) 23-30
The adsorption of CO2 at low temperature (∼ −70°C) on thin films of homoionic smectites was studied by X-ray diffraction and by i.r. absorption. An increase in the d001 spacings of these clay films upon adsorption of CO2 was observed. In addition, a dichroic effect was readily discernible by comparing the i.r. spectra at...
Comparative toxicity of two Iodophors to rainbow trout eggs
Donald F. Amend
1974, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (103) 73-78
Toxicity of Wescodyne(R) and Betadine(R) to eyed eggs was not adversely affected by water hardness (as calcium and magnesium) or by exposure periods up to 60 min. Both iodophors were much more toxic below pH 6.0 than at pH 8.0. In general Wescodyne was slightly more toxic than Betadine. Significant egg loss...

Arthur C. Tarr
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 23-26
A new seismological project is now underway in Puerto Rico to provide information needed for accurate assessment of the island's seismic hazard. The project should also help to increase understanding of the tectonics and geologic evolution of the Caribbean region. The Puerto Rico Seismic Program is being conducted by the...
Pathophysiology of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus disease in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri): early changes in blood and aspects of the immune Response after Injection of IHN Virus
Donald F. Amend, Lynnwood Smith
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 1371-1378
Juvenile rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were injected with infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) virus and various hematological and blood chemical changes were monitored over 9 days. The packed cell volume, hemoglobin, red blood cell count, and plasma bicarbonate were significantly depressed by day 4. Plasma chloride, calcium, phosphorus, total protein, and...

Myxosoma cerebralis: Comparative sensitivity of spore detection methods
M.E. Markiw, K. Wolf
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 1597-1600
Physical and biophysical methods of detecting spores of Myxosoma cerebralis were used in sequence on 87 individual fingerling rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) from two populations with a low incidence of infection. Physical methods of releasing spores from the organs of equilibrium, gill arches, or the axial skeleton gave an estimated rate of...

R.J. Pike
1974, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (22) 245-255
Testing extraterrestrial craters and candidate terrestrial analogs for morphologic similitude is treated as a problem in numerical taxonomy. According to a principal-components solution and a cluster analysis, 402 representative craters on the Earth, the Moon, and Mars divide into two major classes...
Preliminary petrographic description and geologic implications of the Apollo 17 Station 7 boulder consortium samples

A probe for sampling interstitial waters of stream sediments and bog soils
G.A. Nowlan, C. Carollo
1974, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (3) 199-205
A probe for sampling interstitial waters of stream sediments and bog soils is described. Samples can be obtained within a stratigraphic interval of 2–3 cm, to a depth of 60–80 cm, and with little or no contamination of the samples by sediment or...

40Ar/39Ar age spectra of some undisturbed terrestrial samples
G. Brent Dalrymple, M. A. Lanphere
1974, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (38) 715-738
40Ar/39Ar age spectra and 40Ar/36Ar vs 39Ar/36Ar isochrons were determined by incremental heating for 11 terrestrial rocks and minerals whose geology indicates that they represent essentially undisturbed systems. The samples include muscovite, biotite, hornblende, sanidine, plagioclase, dacite, diabase and basalt and range in age from...
Reference samples for the earth sciences
F.J. Flanagan
1974, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (38) 1731-1744
A revised list of reference samples of interest to geoscientists has been extended to include samples for the agronomist, the archaeologist and the environmentalist. In addition to the source from which standard samples may be obtained, references or pertinent notes for some samples are included.The number of rock reference samples...
Comparative studies on extraction of sediment interstitial waters: Discussion and comment on the current state of interstitial water studies
F.T. Manheim
1974, Clays and Clay Minerals (22) 337-343
The implication by Murthy and Ferrell (1972)that interstitial water studies are in a confused state is criticized on the basis that the authors have not drawn on a considerable body of data, especially Soviet studies since the 1950's, and results of the Deep Sea Drilling Project. Pressure filtration systems for...
Geophysical evidence for the intersection of the St Paul, Cape Palmas and Grand Cess fracture zones with the continental margin of Liberia, West Africa
John C. Behrendt, J. Schlee, James M. Robb
1974, Nature (248) 324-326
PUBLISHED reconstructions of Gondwana continent1 (Fig. la) show a gap in fit near the junction of the Americas and Africa. To study this critical area, the Unitedgeo I made geophysical measurements and collected rock samples across the continental margin of Liberia (USGS-IDOE cruise leg 5) in November...
Migration and redistribution of zinc and cadmium in marine estuarine system
Charles W. Holmes, Elizabeth A. Slade, C.J. McLerran
1974, Environmental Science & Technology (8) 255-259
A survey of trace-element levels in the estuarine sediments of Texas shows that Corpus Christi Bay has anomalously high concentrations of zinc and cadmium. Maps of elemental abundance within the bay indicate large concentration gradients, the highest values being near the harbor entrance. Seasonal determinations of metal levels in the...

G.B. Pauley
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 1481-1484
This is the first report of an antigenic preparation from the spore stage of any histozoic sporozoan parasite. The method for successful extraction of the antigens is presented. This antigenic preparation is active in rabbits, but not salmonid fish. The detection of asymptomatic carrier fish using the spore antigens was...
