Inorganic chemical investigation by x-ray fluorescence analysis: The Viking Mars Lander
P. Toulmin III, A. K. Baird, B. C. Clark, Klaus Keil, H. J. Rose Jr.
1973, Icarus (20) 153-178
The inorganic chemical investigation added in August 1972 to the Viking Lander scientific package will utilize an energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer in which four sealed, gas-filled proportional counters will detect X-rays emitted from samples of the Martian surface materials irradiated by X-rays from radioisotope sources (55Fe and 109Cd). The output...
The sorption of silver by poorly crystallized manganese oxides
B.J. Anderson, E. A. Jenne, T. T. Chao
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 611-622
The sorption of silver by poorly crystallized manganese oxides was studied using synthesized samples of three members of the manganous manganite (birnessite) group, of different chemical composition and crystallinity, and a poorly organized γ-MnO2. All four oxides sorbed significant quantities of silver. The manganous manganites showed the greatest sorption (up...
More on noble gases in Yellowstone National Park hot waters
E. Mazor, R.O. Fournier
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 515-525
Water and gas samples from research wells in hydrothermal areas of Yellowstone National Park, U.S.A., have been mass spectrometrically analyzed for their rare gas contents and isotopic composition. In agreement with previous findings, the rare gases have been found to originate from infiltrating...
Effect of sea water interaction on strontium isotope composition of deep-sea basalts
Dasch E. Julius, C. E. Hedge, J. Dymond
1973, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (19) 177-183
Analyses of rim-to-interior samples of fresh tholeiitic pillow basalts, deuterically altered holocrystalline basalts, and older, weathered tholeiitic basalts from the deep sea indicate that 87Sr/86Sr ratios of the older basalts are raised by low temperature interaction with strontium dissolved in sea water. 87Sr/86Sr correlates...
Summary of ground-water data, Post Headquarters and adjacent areas, White Sands Missile Range
T. E. Kelly
1973, Report
Geohydrologic data have been obtained from more than 100 wells and test holes that have been drilled in the Post Headquarters and adjacent areas of White Sands Missile Range. Observation-well data show that, in general, a continuous decline of the water table has occurred in the vicinity of the well...
Constitutive relations associated with the Mott-Smith distribution function
M. Nathenson, D. Baganoff
1973, Physics of Fluids (16) 2110-2115
It is shown that the distribution function assumed by Mott-Smith determines a unique relation between heat flux, stress, and fluid velocity given by q = (3/2)τu, i.e., it provides a constitutive relation for heat flux, and it also determines a simple expression for this ratio of third-order central moments Q...
Lead concentration and isotopic composition in five peridotite inclusions of probable mantle origin
R. E. Zartman, F. Tera
1973, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (20) 54-66
The lead content of five whole-rock peridotite inclusions (four lherzolites and one harzburgite) in alkali basalt ranges from 82 to 570 ppb (parts per billion). Approximately 30–60 ppb of this amount can be accounted for by analyzed major silicate minerals (olivine ≤...
Aspects of the magmatic geochemistry of bismuth
L. P. Greenland, D. Gottfried, E.Y. Campbell
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 283-295
Bismuth has been determined in 74 rocks from a differentiated tholeiitic dolerite, two calc-alkaline batholith suites and in 66 mineral separates from one of the batholiths. Average bismuth contents, weighted for rock type, of the Great Lake (Tasmania) dolerite, the Southern California batholith...

Hatchability tests with eggs from captive wood ducks
Harold A. Doty
1972, Poultry Science (51) 849-853
The effect of diet and artificial incubation on fertility and hatchability of wood duck (Aix sponsa) eggs and survival of young was measured. Hatchability of eggs from hens fed a diet containing 37 percent protein was increased significantly (P<0.05) over that of hens fed a diet containing 17 percent protein. Hatchability was...
The effect of embryonic development on the thickness of the eggshells of the coturnix quail
J.F. Kreitzer
1972, Poultry Science (51) 1764-1765
The average thickness of the shells from 75 unincubated coturnix quail eggs was found to be 0.193 mm. This was 7.3 percent greater than the average thickness (0.179 mm.) of the shells from 60 fully incubated eggs from the same hens. The two sets of eggs were collected...
