The bottom fauna of Lake Huron
Howard D. Teter
1960, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (89) 193-197
The examination of 63 bottom samples, collected in Lake Huron in 1952 and 1956, revealed that Pontoporeia affinis was the dominant organism in both deep and shallow water. The next most abundant organisms in deep water were oligochaetes, fingernail clams, and midge larvae. Midge larvae were more numerous than either...
Collection and preservation of fish and other materials exposed to pesticides
Oliver B. Cope
1960, Progressive Fish-Culturist (22) 103-108
The effects of pesticides on fish have become improtant to fish conservation since World War II, when DDT first came into common use. With the development of other potent insecticides and the increasing use of massive dosages in more recent years, the threat to fish and fish foods has increased....

Automatic measurements and computations for radiochemical analyses
J. N. Rosholt, J. R. Dooley Jr.
1960, Analytical Chemistry (32) 1093-1098
In natural radioactive sources the most important radioactive daughter products useful for geochemical studies are protactinium-231, the alpha-emitting thorium isotopes, and the radium isotopes. To resolve the abundances of these thorium and radium isotopes by their characteristic decay and growth patterns, a large number of repeated alpha activity measurements on...
Characteristic constants of 2,2',4'-trihydroxyazobenzene-5-sulfonic acid, a reagent for spectrophotometric analysis
Mary H. Fletcher
1960, Analytical Chemistry (32) 1822-1827
The dye 2,2',4'-trihydroxyazobenzene-5-sulfonic acid, has shown promise as a reagent for the determination of zirconium. As the literature contains very little information about this dye, basic data pertinent to its use as a reagent were determined. The sulfonic acid group and all three of the hydroxy groups show acidic characteristics....

Emphasis on holotype (?)
J.M. Schopf
1960, Science (131) 1043
The description of new species should not be confined to physical description of a holotype. One specimen cannot include all characters or be typical of any taxon. The holotype serves only a nomenclatural function and might also be termed the name-bearer (nomenifer) to avoid confusion of "type specimen" with "typical...

First natural occurrence of coesite
E. C. T. Chao, E.M. Shoemaker, B.M. Madsen
1960, Science (132) 220-222
Coesite, the high-pressure polymorph of SiO2, hitherto known only as a synthetic compound, is identified as an abundant mineral in sheared Coconino sandstone at Meteor Crater, Arizona. This natural occurrence has important bearing on the recognition of meteorite impact craters in quartz-bearing geologic formations....
Theoretical stusy of the reaction between 2,2',4' - trihydroxyazobenzene-5-sulfonic acid and zirconium
Mary H. Fletcher
1960, Analytical Chemistry (32) 1827-1836
Zirconium reacts with 2,2',4'-trihydroxyazobenzene-5-sulfonic acid in acid solutions to Form two complexes in which the ratios of dye to zirconium are 1 to 1 and 2 to 1. Both complexes are true chelates, with zirconium acting as a bridge between the two orthohydroxy dye groups. Apparent equilibrium constants for the...

A primer on water
Luna Bergere Leopold, Walter Basil Langbein
1960, Report
When you open the faucet you expect water to flow. And you expect it to flow night or day, summer or winter, whether you want to fill a glass or water the lawn. It should be clean and pure, without any odor.You have seen or read about places where the...
River meanders
Luna Bergere Leopold, M. Gordon Wolman
1960, Geological Society of America Bulletin (71) 769-793
Most river curves have nearly the same value of the ratio of curvature radius to channel width, in the range of 2 to 3. Meanders formed by meltwater on the surface of glaciers, and by the main current of the Gulf Stream, have a relation of meander length to...

A "virus" disease of chinook salmon

Epizootics among chinook salmon fingerlings at the Coleman National Fish Hatchery have occurred periodically since 1941. A virus or virus-like filterable agent has been demonstrated to be the causative agent of this disease....
Age and growth of the whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis, of Munising Bay, Lake Superior
Thomas A. Edsall
1960, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (89) 323-332
This study is based on a sample of 415 whitefish collected in 1953 from an unexploited population in Munising Bay, Lake Superior. Gill-net and trawl catches had different length-frequency distributions and age compositions, but estimates of growth from the two catches were very similar. The body-scale relation is...
Equivalent weight of humic acid from peat
A. M. Pommer, Irving A. Breger
1960, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (20) 45-50
By means of discontinuous titration, the equivalent weight of humic acid isolated from a peat was found to increase from 144 to 183 between the third and fifty-second day after the humic acid was dissolved. Infra-red studies showed that the material had probably condensed with loss of carbonyl groups....

Potentiometric titration and equivalent weight of humic acid
A. M. Pommer, Irving A. Breger
1960, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (20) 30-44
The “acid nature” of humic acid has been controversial for many years. Some investigators claim that humic acid is a true weak acid, while others feel that its behaviour during potentiometric titration can be accounted for by colloidal adsorption of hydrogen ions. The acid character of humic acid has been...
Releasing effects in flame photometry. Determination of calcium
J. I. Dinnin
1960, Analytical Chemistry (32) 1475-1480
Strontium, lanthanum, neodymium, samarium, and yttrium completely release the flame emission of calcium from the depressive effects of sulfate, phosphate, and aluminate. Magnesium, beryllium, barium, and scandium release most of the calcium emission. These cations, when present in high concentration, preferentially form compounds with the depressing anions when the solution...
