Destruction of the ecosystem in the Great Lakes and possibilities for its reconstruction
Stanford H. Smith
Remedios W. Moore, editor(s)
1972, Book chapter, Progress in fishery and food science
This paper is a review of the sequence of events within the Great Lakes and their drainage to provide a basis for interpreting probable cause-and-effect relations between events of settlement and changes in the ecosystem of the Great Lakes. Possibilities of restoration of the lakes are discussed. A plan to...
Some rates of geomorphological processes
Luna Bergere Leopold, William W. Emmett
1972, Geographia Polonica (23) 27-36
This brief report summarizes three sets of measurement data on certain processes.The first concerns the rate of movement of soil on hillslopes, especially by mass movement or slow gravitational creep. The results are abstracted from an unpublished manuscript by the junior author who reports on the measurements which Leopold began...
Effect of certain anesthetic agents on mallard ducks
D.R. Cline, R. J. Greenwood
1972, Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (161) 624-633
Four anesthetic agents used in human or veterinary medicine and 3 experimental anesthetic preparations were evaluated for effectiveness in inducing narcosis when administered orally to game-farm mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos).Tribromoethanol was the only compound to satisfy criteria of initial tests. Mean duration of the induction, immobilization, and recovery periods was...

Age, growth, reproduction, and food of the burbot, Lota lota (Linnaeus), in southwestern Lake Superior
Merryll M. Bailey
1972, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (101) 667-674
This study was based on 1,285 burbot (Lota lota) collected in three areas in southwestern Lake Superior in 1966-69. Age was determined from otoliths, the marginal zones of which were opaque from December to May and translucent from June to November. Average lengths of the age groups and annual increments...
Imogolite and allophane formed in saprolite of basalt on Maui, Hawaii
K. Wada, T. Henmi, N. Yoshinaga, S. H. Patterson
1972, Clays and Clay Minerals (20) 375-380
Inorganic gel and allophane collected from basaltic saprolite on Maul, Hawaii, and studied by Patterson in I964 were reexamined. The main constituent of the gel is imogolite, and gibbsite and allophane are the minor constituents. Electron and X-ray diffraction patterns, DTA curve, and an infrared spectrum of the gel are...
Paleomagnetism of Midway Atoll lavas and northward movement of the Pacific plate
S. Gromme, F.J. Vine
1972, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (17) 159-168
Two deep drill holes through the reef limestones of Midway Atoll penetrated 120 m and 19 m of basaltic lavas that were dated by the KAr method at 18 my. Inclinations of natural remanent magnetization have been measured...
Survey for infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) virus in Washington salmon
Donald F. Amend, James W. Wood
1972, Progressive Fish-Culturist (34) 143-147
A virus disease of juvenile sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) has been a problem in Washington hatcheries since first reported by Rucker [9] in 1953. Presumably, the same disease has occurred in Oregon, and it is now referred to as the Oregon, and it is now referred to as the Oregon...
Production and standing crop of Hexagenia (Ephemeroptera) in a large reservoir
P.L. Hudson, G.A. Swanson
1972, Studies in Natural Sciences (1) 1-42
Population dynamics of the mayflies, Hexagenia limbata (Serville) and Hexagenia bilineata (Say), were studied in Lewis and Clark Lake from 1962 to 1969. Nymphs that hatched in June and July emerged as adults in 13-14 months (titled 1-year cycle) and nymphs hatched in late August or September emerged in 22...

Occurrence of chromian, hercynitic spinel ("pleonaste") in Apollo-14 samples and its petrologic implications
E. Roedder, P.W. Weiblen
1972, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (15) 376-402
Many isolated grains of a reddish pleonaste-type spinel occur in fines and metabreccia samples, particularly 14 319. Electron microprobe analyses (104) of spinels and their associated phases include 58 of pleonaste which show Mg/(Mg + Fe) 0.44–0.62 and Cr/(Cr + Al) 0.017–0.134...
A probe for neutron activation analysis in a drill hole using 252Cf, and a Ge(Li) detector cooled by a melting cryogen
A.B. Tanner, R.M. Moxham, F. E. Senftle, J.A. Baicker
1972, Nuclear Instruments and Methods (100) 1-7
A sonde has been built for high-resolution measurement of natural or neutron-induced gamma rays in boreholes. The sonde is 7.3 cm in diameter and about 2.2 m in length and weighs about 16 kg. The lithium-compensated germanium semiconductor detector is stabilized at −185...
Microcoulometric measurement of water in minerals
M. Cremer, H.N. Elsheimer, E.E. Escher
1972, Analytica Chimica Acta (60) 183-192
A DuPont Moisture Analyzer is used in a microcoulometric method for determining water in minerals. Certain modifications, which include the heating of the sample outside the instrument, protect the system from acid gases and insure the conversion of all hydrogen to water vapor. Moisture analyzer...

A repellent for protecting corn seed from blackbirds and crows
A.R. Stickley Jr., J.L. Guarineo
1972, Journal of Wildlife Management (36) 150-152
Methiocarb [4-(methylthio)-3,-5-xylyl N-methylcarbamate] was tested as a seed treatment for repelling blackbirds and crows (Corvus sp.) from sprouting corn in South Carolina. The test was conducted on eight fields within a 0.25-square-mile area. Marked repellency occurred; sprout damage averaged 44 percent in the control fields and 0.3 percent in the...

Effects of dressing and cooking on DDT concentrations in certain fish from Lake Michigan
Robert E. Reinert, Donald Stewart, Harry L. Seagran
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 525-529
Concentrations of DDT residues were highest in parts of the body with the highest oil content in four species of fish from Lake Michigan: yellow perch (Perca flavescens), bloater (Coregonus hoyi), lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Dressing reduced the DDT residues and oil content by more...

Exposure times necessary for antimycin and rotenone to eliminate certain freshwater fish
P.A. Gilderhus
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 199-202
In laboratory flowing-water troughs exposure required to induce 100% mortality, regardless of time to death for antimycin and rotenone against selected freshwater fish species was determined. Carp and white suckers required shorter exposures to antimycin (6 hr) than to rotenone (18–24 hr) at field-use concentrations of 5 and 50 ppb respectively. Bullheads were...

1972, Icarus (17) 394-407
Mariner 9 photographs of Phobos and Deimos have yielded new information about the orbits, rotation periods, sizes, shapes, and surface characteristics of the satellites. Both satellites appear to be in synchronous rotation. They are irregular, heavily cratered bodies whose shapes appear to have been determined largely by impact fragmentation and...
Atomic displacements in ferroelectric trigonal and orthorhombic boracite structures
Eric Dowty, J. R. Clark
1972, Solid State Communications (10) 543-548
New crystal-structure refinements of Pca21 boracite, Mg3ClB7O13, and Rϵc ericaite, Fe2.4Mg0.6ClB7O13, show that some boron and oxygen atoms are involved in the ‘ferro’ transitions as well as the metal and halogen atoms. The atomic displacements associated with the polarity changes are as large as 0.6Å....
