An Evaluation of the Environmental Impact of Recreation Facilities Expansion at Lake Ray Roberts State Park, Isle du Bois and Johnson Branch Units
This report "presents the results and recommendations of a two month investigation conducted at Lake Ray Roberts State Park," as "part of the ongoing effort of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to manage and conserve the natural resources of the state and provide...enjoyable recreation areas to the citizens of Texas." The study proposes the expansion of the Isle du Bois and Johnson Branch Units of the Lake Ray Roberts State Park to accommodate the surrounding counties' population growth (p. 6).
A Water Quality and Ecological Survey of the Trinity River, Volume 2
This volume of the report represents the technical findings of a study conducted on the ecological makeup of the Trinity River. The data presented includes: ambient toxicity test results and survival rates, United States Geological Survey (USGS) flow data, water quality data, as well as sediment quality data.
Effects of Entrainment by the Indian Point Power Plant on Biota in the Hudson River Estuary, 1973
"This report summarizes the progress of studies conducted in 1973 to determine the effects on Hudson River organisms of entrainment by the Indian Point nuclear power station" with emphasis "on the potential effects of entrainment on organisms passing through the plant's condenser cooling system" (p. xxi).
Excavations at the Quince Site (34AT134) Atoka County, Oklahoma
This volume presents findings from an excavation at the Quince Site of McGee Creek Reservoir project area. Excavations at the Quince Site disclosed deep alluvial deposits with several occupations throughout the Holocene Period. The site contains a well-preserved culturally stratified deposit dating from Paleoindian to Woodland Indian periods.
Archaeological Testing of the Lewisville Lake Shoreline, Denton County, Texas
This report describes the results of test excavations at 23 prehistoric and 16 historic sites on the periphery of Lewisville Lake, Denton County, Texas. The purpose of this report is to summarize the character and significance of the archaeological sites that were test excavated and recommendations for mitigation at those sites determined eligible for the National Register.
Archeological Testing at Fort St. Leon, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana
This report describes archaeological testing at a site known as Fort St. Leon in Louisiana. Studies were made of levee building, geomorphology, and comparison of archival maps and aerial photographs, which contribute to the understanding of human activity as well as geological processes at the site.
Archaeological Investigations at Four Sites Along Potapo Creek, McGee Creek Reservoir, Atoka County, Oklahoma
This volume contains the results of excavations and analyses of Prehistoric archaeological data from four sites located along Potapo Creek in the northwestern part of the McGee Creek project area in southeastern Oklahoma. Some excavations yielded archaeological records of Early Caddoan occupation. Other excavations in the project yielded few artifacts, but important geological and environmental information.
Archaeological Investigations at Five Prehistoric Sites at Lewisville Lake, Denton County, Texas
This report describes the results of excavations performed by the Institute of Applied Sciences at the Lewisville Lake project, Denton County, Texas.
Quantitative Analysis of Water and Biological Samples for Determination of Haleogenated Organics in the Upper Trinity River, Texas : Final Technical Report
This study had three objectives: 1) to develop a method for the quantitative determination of total organic bound chlorine in water and biological samples using Source-Excited X-Ray Fluorescence, 2) to provide training in the use of analytical techniques for students from different disciplines, and 3) to use an interdisciplinary approach involving students of biology, chemistry, and physics to investigate a complex environmental problem. Only the first objective is treated in detail in this volume.
Effects of Chemicals on People and the Environment
In this pamphlet, the author will examine some of the benefits of chemicals to mankind. The author also will examine some of the problems chemicals have caused, are causing and may cause in the future.
Constraints-based stoichiometric analysis of hypoxic stress on steroidogenesis in fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas
This article presents a study in which an in silico genome-scale metabolic model of steroidogenesis is used to investigate the effects of hypoxic stress on steroid hormone productions in fish. This article introduces a powerful model for pathway analysis that can lend insights on the effects of various stressor scenarios on metabolic functions.
Effect of acute and chronic hypoxia on the swimming performance, metabolic capacity and cardiac function of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
Article exploring the degree to which diminished cardiac function contributes to the reduction in fish swimming performance concomitant with acute exposure to hypoxia and how fish cardiorespiratory physiology is altered by, or adapts to, chronic hypoxia. Results provide important insights into how fish cardiorespiratory physiology is impacted by short-term and prolonged exposure to hypoxia, and highlight the capacity of the fish cardiorespiratory system to deal with environmental challenges.
