Determination of indium in rocks by substoichiometric radioisotope dilution analysis
L. Paul Greenland, E.Y. Campbell
1973, Analytica Chimica Acta (67) 29-36
Rocks containing 10–140 ng of indium per g are decomposed with hydrofluoric and nitric acids in the presence of 114In. Indium is separated from other constituents by sequential extractions of the bromide, cupferronate, and acetylacetonate, and is then reacted with a substoichiometric amont of EDTA. Excess...
Comparison of the magnetic properties of glass from Luna 20 with similar properties of glass from the Apollo missions
F. E. Senftle, A. N. Thorpe, C.C. Alexander, C.L. Briggs
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 1053-1062
Magnetic susceptibility measurements have been made on four glass spherules and fragments from the Luna 20 fines; two at 300°K and two from 300°K to 4°K. From these data the magnetic susceptibility extrapolated to infinite field, the magnetization at low fields and also...
Excess lead in "rusty rock" 66095 and implications for an early lunar differentiation
P.D. Nunes, M. Tatsumoto
1973, Science (182) 916-920
Apollo 16 breccia 66095 contains a remarkably high amount of lead (15 parts per million), 85 percent of which is not supported by uranium and thorium in the rock. An acid leach experiment coupled with separate analyses of the whole rock and mineral fractions for uranium, thorium,...
Changes in the visual pigments of trout
D.M. Allen, W.N. McFarland, F.W. Munz, H. A. Poston
1973, Canadian Journal of Zoology (51) 901-914
The proportions of two visual pigments (rhodopsin and porphyropsin) were examined in four species of trout under experimental and natural conditions. Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), and brown trout (Salmo trutta) have different relative proportions of visual pigments in their retinae. The visual pigment balance in wild...

The selenium content of U.S.G.S. standard rocks
M. M. Schnepfe, F.J. Flanagan
1973, Chemical Geology (12) 77-80
Selenium was determined in duplicate portions from three bottles of six U.S.G.S. standard rocks by a spect rofluorimetric procedure. The following averages, as p.p.m. Se, were obtained: PCC-1, 0.031; GSP-1, 0.088; BCR-1, 0.12; SCo-1, 0.91; MAG-1, 1.3; and SGR-1, 3.7. One-way analysis...
Point of zero charge of weathered forsterite
R.W. Luce, George A. Parks
1973, Chemical Geology (12) 147-153
The point of zero charge of forsterite shifts from an estimated 8.9 for the unaltered mineral to 8.4 and 8.0, respectively, after being weathered artificially for 1 h and 4 h. These results corroborate the presence of magnesium-deficient surfaces on the weathered...
Drought displaced movement of North American pintails into Siberia
Charles J. Henny
1973, Journal of Wildlife Management (37) 23-29
During the years 1954-70, 230 pintails (Anas acuta) banded in North America were reported from eastern Asia, primarily Siberia. Most of the birds were shot on the breeding grounds in May. The movement into eastern Asia of pintails banded in the interior of North America was directly correlated with the...
Selective predation by mink, Mustela vison, on waterfowl
Alan B. Sargeant, George A. Swanson, Harold A. Doty
1973, American Midland Naturalist (89) 208-214
Predation by mink (Mustela vison) on three types of ducks (captive, pen-reared-released and wild) was documented in two studies at the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center, Jamestown, North Dakota. In the first study, 36 of 60 flightless adult and juvenile ducks held on eight 0.1-acre experimental ponds disappeared between 10...

Federal Great Lakes fishery research objectives, priorities, and projects
Howard D. Tait
1973, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the First Federal Conference on the Great Lakes
Fishery productivity of the Great Lakes has declined drastically since settlement of the area. Premium quality fishes of the Great Lakes such as whitefish, lake trout, and walleyes have been replaced by less desired species. This change is attributed to selective overfishing, pollution, and the extreme instability of fish populations....
Migrational homing by a pair of mallards
T.J. Dwyer, S.R. Derrickson, D.S. Gilmer
1973, The Auk (90) 687-687
It is generally assumed that wild, North American female dabbling ducks (Anatinae: Anatini) select new mates each year and may return to the same nesting areas in consecutive years (McKinney 1964, Wildfowl 16: 93). Lincoln (1934, Bird-Banding 5: 151) first documented migrational homing in a female Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), and...
The role of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife in the Great Lakes
F. Eugene Hester
1973, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the First Federal Conference on the Great Lakes
Ecological blunders of man, such as timber exploitation, draining of wetlands, construction of canals and dams, and pollution have been mainly responsible for serious environmental degradation and catastrophic losses of fish and wildlife values in the Great Lakes Basin. Consequently, the major emphasis of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and...
