Indirect spectrophotometric determination of traces of bromide in water
M. J. Fishman, M. W. Skougstad
1963, Analytical Chemistry (35) 146-149
A rapid, accurate, and sensitive indirect spectrophotometric method for the determination of bromide in natural waters is based on the catalytic effect of bromide on the oxidation of iodine to iodate by potassium permanganate in sulfuric acid solution. The method is applicable to concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 μg....

The use of alkalinity and conductivity measurements to estimate concentrations of 3-trifluormethyl-4-nitrophenol required for treating lamprey streams
Richard K. Kanayama
1963, Technical Report 7
A method has been devised to estimate the minimum concentration of TFM that will kill sea lampreys and the maximum that will not kill fish. It is based on the relation of these concentrations to the alkalinity and the conductivity of various waters. Pretreatment bioassays will continue to...
Late Pleistocene glacial drainage in the Devils Lake Region, North Dakota
Saul Aronow
1963, GSA Bulletin (74) 859-874
The Devils Lake region of northeastern North Dakota is covered with glacial drift deposited by the Leeds lobe of the Mankato Substage of the Wisconsin Stage of the Pleistocene and is underlain by Pierre Shale of Cretaceous age. Associated with the Sheyenne River, which flows through the southern part of...

Hydrology of upper Black Earth Creek basin, Wisconsin, with a section on surface water
Denzel R. Cline, Mark W. Busby
1963, Water Supply Paper 1669-C
The upper Black Earth Creek drainage basin has an area of 46 square miles and is in Dane County in south-central Wisconsin. The oldest rock exposed in the valley walls is the sandstone of Late Cambrian age. Dolomite of the Prairie du Chien Group of Ordovician age overlies the sandstone...
Unmineralized fossil bacteria
W. H. Bradley
1963, Science (141) 919-921
Unmineralized bacterial cells, mostly Micrococcus sp., but including also Streptococcus sp. and Actinomyces sp., were found in enormous numbers in lake beds of the Newark Canyon Formation of Early Cretaceous age, Eureka County, Nevada. The micrococci are black, and have an average diameter about 0.5 µ. Similar black micrococci (0.4...
Heat capacity from 12 to 305°K and entropy of talc and tremolite
R. A. Robie, J. W. Stout
1963, Journal of Physical Chemistry (67) 2252-2256
The heat capacities of talc, Mg3Si4O10(OH)2, and tremolite, Ca2Mg6Si8O22(OH)2, have been measured between 12 and 305°K. Smoothed values of heat capacity, entropy, enthalpy, and free energy are tabulated. At 298.15° K. the values of the thermodynamic functions are: talc, Cp°= 76.89 ± 0.23 cal. deg.-1 mole-1, S° = 62.33 ± 0.19 cal....

Population analyses, variation and behavior of Anguispira alternata alternata
Charles L. Douglas
1963, Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science (66) 186-194
Anguispira alternata alternata is one of the more common terrestrial snails in the United States. Gregarious by nature, these snails can be collected in large numbers from wooded flood-plains and moist upland wooded areas. "The range is eastern Canada and the United States, from Nova Scotia to Lake of...

Hydrogen-water vapor mixtures: Control of hydrothermal atmospheres by hydrogen osmosis
H. R. Shaw
1963, Science (139) 1220-1222
Experiments at 700°C and 800 bars total pressure demonstrate positive deviations from ideality for mixtures of hydrogen and H2O gases. The deviations are greater than predicted with Stockmayer's method. The composition of the mixture and the fugacity of hydrogen are controlled by diffusing hydrogen through metallic membranes. The results give...
Study of multicomponent mixtures in solution with a vertical-axis transmission-type filter-fluorometer
M. H. Fletcher
1963, Analytical Chemistry (35) 278-288
Fluorescence intensity, sensitivity, and the effect of diverse ions are discussed in relation to chemical equilibrium and the general equation for fluorescence. High sensitivity is the common denominator in eliminating or reducing all types of interference and the general equation is the key for quickly selecting conditions that give maximum...
Studies on Neogogatea kentuckiensis (Cable, 1935) n. comb.: (Trematoda: Strigeoidea: Cyathocotylidae)

1963, Journal of Parasitology (49) 737-744
The cercaria of N. kentuckiensis was found in Anaplocamus dilatatus (Nitrocris d.) and Mudalia carinata. The metacercaria was found in all fishes examined from Opequon River, West Virginia, except Cottus bairdi which was also refractory to experimental infection. Two species of Centrarchidae, four of Cyprinidae, three of Salmonidae, Etheostoma flabellare,...
Origin of the Nubian and similar sandstones
E. D. McKee
1963, Geologische Rundschau (52) 551-587
The Nubian Sandstone and similar sandstone bodies exposed across much of northern Africa and adjoining parts of Asia are characteristically formed of clean sand that is conspicuously cross stratified throughout. Such sandstone, here called Nubian-type sandstone, ranges from Cambrian through Cretaceous in age and its genesis has been interpreted in...
Dynamic similarity in erosional processes
A. E. Scheidegger
1963, Geofisica Pura e Applicata (56) 58-66
A study is made of the dynamic similarity conditions obtaining in a variety of erosional processes. The pertinent equations for each type of process are written in dimensionless form; the similarity conditions can then easily be deduced. The processes treated are: raindrop action, slope evolution and river erosion....

Antiferromagnetism of UO2⋅2H2O
T. Pankey, F. E. Senftle, F. Cuttitta
1963, Journal of Chemical Physics (39) 1702-1706
Magnetic susceptibility measurements have been made on UO2·xH2O for x=1.78 to x=2.13, and from 77° to 375°K. As the value of x decreased the susceptibility increased. Both these data and structural arguments imply that the formula of this compound is U(OH)4 rather than the dihydrate form. Based on this concept the data have been corrected...
