Isotopic investigations of xenoliths and host basalts from the Honolulu volcanic series
J. R. O’Neil, C. E. Hedge, E.D. Jackson
1970, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (8) 253-257
Oxygen, carbon and strontium isotope ratios point to a ground-water origin for the carbonates found in Hawaiian Volcanic Series rocks. Strontium isotope ratios in the xenoliths and host basalts indicate a genetic relationship between them....
Search for organic compounds in the lunar dust from the Sea of Tranquillity
C. Ponnamperuma, K. Kvenvolden, S. Chang, Richard Johnson, G. Pollock, D. Philpott, I. Kaplan, J. Smith, J.W. Schopf, C. Gehrke, G. Hodgson, Irving A. Breger, B. Halpern, A. Duffield, K. Krauskopf, E. Barghoorn, H. Holland, Klaus Keil
1970, Science (167) 760-762
A sample of lunar dust was examined for organic compounds. Carbon detected in concentrations of 157 micrograms per gram had a δ13C per mil (PDB) value of + 20. Treatment with hydrochloric acid yielded hydrocarbons of low molecular weight, suggesting the presence of carbides. The gas chromatogram of the acylated...
Effects of oil development in Arctic America
J. C. Reed
1970, Biological Conservation (2) 273-277
Large and important discoveries of petroleum were made in northern Alaska in 1968. The reserves were estimated then to be perhaps as much as ten thousand million barrels. Subsequent exploration has shown the resources to be much greater than was estimated earlier. Many...
Strontium isotopes in some Cenozoic lavas from Oregon and Washington
C. E. Hedge, R.A. Hildreth, W.T. Henderson
1970, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (8) 434-438
The87Sr/86Sr ratios have been determined in 22 volcanic rocks from Oregon and Washington. The emphasis of the study was on andesites and dacites, but several basalts were included. Most of the samples have a very limited range in strontium isotopic composition...
Lithium metaborate flux in silicate analysis
C.O. Ingamells
1970, Analytica Chimica Acta (52) 323-334
Lithium metaborate is an effective flux for silicates and other rock-forming minerals. The glass resulting from fusion is mechanically strong, reasonably nonhygroscopic, and is readily soluble in dilute acids. These characteristics lead to its use in X-ray spectrography and in methods which require whole-rock solutions,...
Let's Sing 'Auld Lang Syne' for the Upper Brandywine: Or, to continue with Burns, how the best laid environmental schemes of men "gang aft a-gley"
Luna Bergere Leopold
1970, Natural History (79) 5-15
Perhaps the most lamentable mistake that one can make is to be right too soon. This was the story of the Brandywine Plan, an attempt to organize local people for the permanent protection of the environmental amenities of their own land.The Upper East Branch of Brandywine Creek drains a rolling...

Atmospheric collection of debris from the Revelstoke and Allende fireballs
M. H. Carr
1970, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (34) 689-700
In two separate events, Revelstoke and Allende, the air through which a fireball had been observed to pass was sampled for meteoritic debris. Particulate matter was collected on fibrous filters, which were mounted on aircraft and flown downwind from the site of the...
Major Land Resource Areas (MLRA)
Adapted from U.S. Soil Conservation Service
1970, Report
This is a polygon coverage of the Land Resource Regions and Major Land Resource Areas of the conterminous United States. Land resource regions are geographic areas that are characterized by a particular pattern of soils, climate, water resources and land uses. (USDA, Soil Conservation Service, 1981). Major land...

Toxicity of 33 NCS to freshwater fish and sea lamprey
Leif L. Marking, Everett L. King, Charles R. Walker, John H. Howell
1970, Investigations in Fish Control 38
The chemical 33NCS (3'-chloro-3-nitrosalicylanilide) was evaluated as a fish control agent and as a larvicide for sea lampreys at the Fish Control Laboratories of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife and the Hammond Bay Biological Station of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. The chemical is rapidly toxic to many...
Extreme female predominance in the bloater (Coregonus hoyi) of Lake Michigan in the 1960's
Edward H. Brown Jr.
C.C. Lindsey, C.S. Woods, editor(s)
1970, Book chapter, Biology of coregonid fishes
The sex composition and other biological characteristics of the bloater changed substantially during recent decades of continuous ecological change in Lake Michigan. The percentages of females increased from 72% of the bloaters samples in 1928-32 to 95% in 1963, and ranged from 94 to 97% in 1964-69. The unusual predominance...
Temperature tolerance of bloater (Coregonus hoyi)
Thomas A. Edsall, Donald V. Rottiers, Edward H. Brown
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 2047-2052
Juvenile and young adult bloaters (Coregonus hoyi) were tested for tolerance to high temperatures. The ultimate upper lethal temperature of juvenile bloaters (26.75 C) appeared to be slightly higher than that of young adult bloaters, but was similar to that of juvenile ciscoes,Coregonus artedii (26.0 C), the only other North American coregonine for...

An annotated list of the fishes of Lake Erie and its tributary waters exclusive of the Detroit River
Harry D. Van Meter, Milton B. Trautman
1970, Ohio Journal of Science (70) 65-78
Dramatic fluctuations have occurred in the abundance of many species in Lake Erie and its tributary waters in the last century. Some fishes of former economic importance have become commercially extinct. Several species apparently have been extirpated, especially in the tributaries. It is believed that further changes in the abundance...
Precipitating antibody against Aeromonas salmonicida in serums of inbred albino Rainbow Trout (Salmo gairdneri)
Douglas P. Anderson, George W. Klontz
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada 1389-1393
Precipitins in albino rainbow trout serums were demonstrated by gel diffusion after a single parenteral exposure to the soluble antigens of Aeromonas salmonicida. The fraction of the serum containing antibody activity against the presented antigens was shown by immunoelectrophoresis to be in the nonmigrating region. This corresponded to the beta-2 fraction...
Experimental control of Columnaris sisease with a new Nitrofuran drug, P-7138
Donald F. Amend, Avron J. Ross
1970, Progressive Fish-Culturist (32) 19-25
P-7138 is a new, broad-spectrum, vinylogous, nitrofuran chemotherapeutic that was developed specifically for treating fish diseases. Although it can be added to the diet of fish, therapeutic tissue levels can be obtained in eels (Anguilla japonica) and goldfish (Carassius auratur) by absorption of the drug directly from the water. Moreover,...
Morphology of certain viruses of Salmonid fishes. II. In vivo studies of infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus
Donald F. Amend, Velma C. Chambers
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 1385-1388
Juvenile sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) were injected with the infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) virus, and tissue samples from the anterior kidney, spleen, liver, intestine, and pyloric caeca of moribund fish were prepared for electron microscopy. Bullet-shaped virus particles measuring 158 × 90 mμ were observed in the hematopoietic tissues of the anterior kidney...

An electron microscope study was performed on three virus isolates that caused hematopoietic necrosis in salmonid fishes: infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN), Oregon Sockeye Disease (OSD), and Sacramento River Chinook Salmon Disease (SRCD). All three isolates were examined by negative staining of fathead minnow (FHM) monolayer tissue culture concentrates and IHN...
