Directional hydraulic behavior of a fractured-shale aquifer in New Jersey
John Vecchioli
1965, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the international symposium on hydrology of fractured rocks
The principal source of ground water throughout a large part of central and northeastern New Jersey is the aquifer in the Brunswick Shale -- the youngest unity of the Newark Group of Triassic Age. Large-diameter public-supply and industrial wells tapping the Brunswick Shale commonly yield several hundred gallons per...
Experimental control of sea lampreys with electricity on the south shore of Lake Superior, 1953-60
Alberton L. McLain, Bernard R. Smith, Harry H. Moore
1965, Technical Report 10
Experimental control of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, with electric barriers was begun in Lake Superior in 1953. Electrical devices were the most practical and promising method of control then available. Installed below spawning grounds in streams and rivers tributary to Lake Superior, these barriers were designed to prevent the...
Results of woodcock wing collections, 1959 to 1962
F.W. Martin, A. D. Geis, William H. Stickel
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 121-131
During hunting seasons from 1959 to 1962, age and sex determined from 45,444 wings were used to measure annual productivity of woodcocks (Philohela minor). Age of birds was determined by pattern and color of secondaries and by wear on primaries. Sex was determined by width and length of primaries. Overall...
Water supply and management concepts
Luna Bergere Leopold
1965, Industrial Water Engineering (2) 10-22
If I had to cite one fact about water in the United States which would be not only the most important but also the most informative, the one I would choose would k this: Over 50 percent of all the water presently being used in the United States is used...

Stishovite: Synthesis by shock wave
P. S. De Carli, D.J. Milton
1965, Science (147) 144-145
Small amounts of stishovite were separated from specimens of explosively shocked sandstones, novaculite, and single-crystal quartz. Estimated peak pressures for the syntheses ranged...
Ancient oyster shells on the atlantic continental shelf
A.S. Merrill, K.O. Emery, M. Rubin
1965, Science (147) 398-400
Shells of long-dead Crassostrea virginica are reported at 71 stations in depths of 14 to 82 meters. The depths exceed those of the estuaries where the species flourishes. Radiocarbon measurements indicate that the oysters were alive 8000 to 11,000 years ago. It is concluded that the oysters lived in lagoons...
Tectonic Deformation Associated with the 1964 Alaska earthquake
George Plafker
1965, Science (148) 1675-1687
The earthquake of 27 March 1964 resulted in observable crustal deformation of unprecedented areal extent....
Natural recharge and localization of fresh ground water in Kuwait
R.E. Bergstrom, R.E. Aten
1965, Journal of Hydrology (2) 213-231
Fresh ground water (200 parts per million total dissolved solids and upwards) occurs in portions of Pleistocene sandstone aquifers beneath basins and wadis in north Kuwait where the mean rainfall is about five inches per year. The fresh water is surrounded and underlain by brackish water (> 4000 ppm TDS)....
Radiocarbon determinations for estimating groundwater flow velocities in central Florida
B.B. Hanshaw, W. Back, M. Rubin
1965, Science (148) 494-495
Carbon-14 activity was determined from HCO3- in samples of groundwater obtained from the principal artesian aquifer in Florida. From these data the "age" of water obtained from a series of wells, each progressively farther down gradient on the piezometric surface, was established. Relative carbon-14 ages indicated a velocity of groundwater...
Igneous rocks of the Indian ocean floor
C.G. Engel, R.L. Fischer, A.E.J. Engel
1965, Science (150) 605-610
Four dredge hauls from near the crest and from the eastern flank of the seismically active Mid-Indian Ocean Ridge at 23° to 24°S,...
Kink-bands: Shock deformation of biotite resulting from a nuclear explosion
D. Cummings
1965, Science (148) 950-952
Microscopic examination of granodiorite samples from the shock region around a nuclear explosion reveals sharply folded lens-shaped zones (kink-bands) in the mineral biotite. Fifty percent of these zones are oriented approximately 90 degrees to the direction of shock-wave propagation, but other zones are symmetrically concentrated...
Low deuterium content of Lake Vanda, Antarctica
R.A. Ragotzkie, I. Friedman
1965, Science (148) 1226-1227
Lake Vanda in Victoria Land, Antarctica, is permanently ice-covered and permanently stratified, with warm, salty water near the bottom. Deuterium analyses of lake water from several levels indicate that the lake has a low deuterium content, and that it is stratified with respect to this isotope. This low deuterium content...
Servo-amplifiers for ion current measurement in mass spectrometry
J. S. Stacey, R.D. Russell, F. Kollar
1965, Journal of Scientific Instruments (42) 390-394
A servo-voltmeter can provide a useful alternative to the d.c. amplifier or vibrating reed electrometer for the accurate measurement of mass spectrometer ion currents, and has some advantages which recommend its use in certain applications. A generalized analysis based on servomechanism theory is presented as an aid for understanding the...

Eocene and miocene rocks off the northeastern coast of the United States
T. G. Gibson
1965, Deep-Sea Research and Oceanographic Abstracts (12)
A grab sample from a depth of 1675 m at a point south of Cape Cod contains early Eocene planktonic Foraminifera and is correlated with the Globorotalia rex zone of Trinidad. The assemblage indicates a depth comparable to that existing today. Regional relations suggest that the Cretaceous and Eocene deposits deepen...

Eimeria aurati n. sp. (Protozoa:Eimeriidae) from goldfish (Carassius auratus) in North America
G. L. Hoffman
1965, Journal of Protozoology (12) 273-275
Eimeria aurati n. sp. is described from the intestine of the goldfish, Carassius auratus, from Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Oocysts were very numerous in long, whitish, opaque fecal casts. They were 16 to 24 by 14 to 17 μ (mean, 20.1 by 16.3) and were non-sporulated when passed but sporulated 2 to 5 days...
Ground-water pumpage and water-level changes in the Milwaukee-Waukesha area, Wisconsin, 1950-61
J. H. Green, R. D. Hutchinson
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-I
Artesian water pressure in the deep sandstone aquifer continued to decline throughout most of the Milwaukee-Waukesha area, Wisconsin between 1950 and 1961. Areas of greatest water-level decline were in northeast Waukesha County and in northwest Milwaukee County. The chief cause of the decline was continued heavy pumpage. The major aquifers...
