A Limnological Study Of Ricks Pond And The Gulpha Creek Drainage In Garland County, Arkansas, Tom M. Buchanan, James Houston, Joe F. Nix, Richard L. Meyer, Eugene H. Schmitz

Arkansas Water Resources Center Technical Reports

A limnological investigation of Ricks Pond and the Gulpha Creek drainage of Garland County, Arkansas was conducted between 1 June 1978, and 21 August 1978. Water samples taken from ten stations on three different dates indicated that the stream and pond systems were typical in water quality characteristics of other small, high gradient streams and impoundments in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. In Ricks Pond, thermal stratification occurred along with the development of an oxygen deficient zone below a depth of one meter. Other water quality parameters indicated that Ricks Pond is a moderately productive ecosystem, with the productivity limited …

Hydrolytic And Photochemical Degradation Of Organophosphorus Pesticides, James F. Hinton

Arkansas Water Resources Center Technical Reports

To keep pace with demands for increasing food supplies to satisfy the expanding world population, modern agriculture has utilized the latest scientific and technological knowledge available. Increases in crop production through the use of growth regulators, fertilizers , herbicides, and insecticides have been little short of phenomenal, and drugs, feed additives, and higher-quality grain and forage have dramatically increased livestock production. But, as is usually the case, this progress has been accompanied by problems, one of the more serious being contamination of our environment by chemicals. Only in recent years have the full effects of these pollutants on the ecological …

Arkansas Water Resources Center Technical Reports

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 call for the restoration and maintenance of the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the Nation's waters. The Act sets forth two primary goals; 1) the elimination of the discharge of all pollutants into the navigable waters of the United States by 1985 and 2) an interim level of water quality that provides for the protection of fish, shellfish, wildlife and recreation by July 1, 1983. Section 208 of the Act mandated the development and implementation of area wide water quality management plans to achieve the goals previously mentioned.


A Primary Ecological Survey Of Dardanelle Reservoir Prior To Nuclear Facility Effluent Discharge, Clarence B. Sinclair, Robert L. Watson Jun 1978

A Primary Ecological Survey Of Dardanelle Reservoir Prior To Nuclear Facility Effluent Discharge, Clarence B. Sinclair, Robert L. Watson

Arkansas Water Resources Center Technical Reports

A preliminary ecological survey of Dardanelle Reservoir during the construction phase of Arkansas Power and Light Company's nuclear generating facility was conducted from January 1970 through June 1974. The reservoir is characterized by relatively shallow depths and a high flow-thru rate. A number of features were associated with these characteristics. The reservoir carried a great deal of suspended material and exhibited high turbidities throughout most of the year. Typical thermal stratification and oxygen depletion were only rarely observed. Many of the physico-chemical parameters exhibited relatively high values in comparison to other Arkansas lakes and reservoirs, but due to absence of …

Methodology For Analysis Of Diet Grit Size On Molar Attrition For Fourche Maline And Caddo People, Judith C. Stewart, Mary L. Powell, J. C. Rose Jan 1978

Methodology For Analysis Of Diet Grit Size On Molar Attrition For Fourche Maline And Caddo People, Judith C. Stewart, Mary L. Powell, J. C. Rose

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Using the Murphy (1959) system for scoring the degree of dentin exposure, Fourche Maline (Woodland) molars show a greater attrition rate than Caddo (Mississippian) molars. Archeological evidence suggests that this differential in attrition rates is caused by the use of stone grinders for food preparation in the Fourche Maline culture and their absence among the Caddo. Analysis of scratches on the occlusal surface of molars from these samples confirms this hypothesis. Several techniques for observing these scratches and reconstructing the grit sizes and grit particle frequencies responsible for this differential abrasion are evaluated.

Effects Of Hyperbaric Hypoxia On Some Enzyme Systems In The Mammalian Liver, Dennis A. Baeyens, M. J. Meier Jan 1978

Effects Of Hyperbaric Hypoxia On Some Enzyme Systems In The Mammalian Liver, Dennis A. Baeyens, M. J. Meier

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The metabolic effects of hypobaric hypoxic stress on the mammalian liver were studied. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity of mouse liver homogenates were measured after exposure to an equivalent altitude of 36,000 feet and compared to controls kept at zero altitude. After six and twelve hour incubation periods, the altitude exposed samples demonstrated a significantly higher LDH activity than controls. SDH activity remained unchanged from controls after six hours but was significantly lower than controls after a 12 hour exposure to altitude. It is concluded that the changes in enzyme activity reflect a metabolic control mechanism …

Range And Status Of The Nutria, Myocastor Coypus, In Arkansas, Joe W. Bailey, Gary A. Heidt Jan 1978

Range And Status Of The Nutria, Myocastor Coypus, In Arkansas, Joe W. Bailey, Gary A. Heidt

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

An extensive survey has shown that the current range of the nutria, Myocastor coypus. in Arkansas should include the West Gulf Coastal Plain, the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (to Missouri) and the Arkansas Valley along the Arkansas River to Oklahoma. The extensive river and creek systems in the state have provided ready avenues for dispersal, allowing for extremely rapid expansion from the early 1960's when nutria were first observed in the southern part of the state. The current range probably represents most of the suitable habitat in the state and it is felt that further expansion will be held to a …


Ultraviolet Light Reactivation Of Gamma Ray-Induced Lethal Damage In Vertebrate Cells, Stewart W. Cross, H. Gaston Griggs Jan 1978

Ultraviolet Light Reactivation Of Gamma Ray-Induced Lethal Damage In Vertebrate Cells, Stewart W. Cross, H. Gaston Griggs

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A comparison was made of the extent of UVR of gamma ray induced lethal damage (mitigation of gamma ray-induced lethal effects by appropriate administration of low UV doses) in fish, amphibian, reptile and mammalian tissue culture cell lines. A significant level of UVR was detected in the non-mammalian lines, but the mammalian cells appeared to have lost this ability. Associated mitotic index data is interpreted as supporting the notion that low UV doses, appropriately administered, may aid repair processes in some cells (indirectly) by hindering the antagonistic metabolic processes which convert gamma ray induced lesions to a non-reversible state.

Movements Of Channel Catfish And Flathead Catfish In Beaver Reservoir, Northwest Arkansas, Thomas O. Duncan, Milton R. Myers Jr.

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A total of 497 channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, and flathead catfish, Pylodictis olivaris. were tagged in Beaver Reservoir during two November-April tagging periods (1967-68 and 1968-69); total recaptures were 9.5 and 11.7% respectively. The longest time between tagging and recapture was 1622 days (4.4 years) for channel catfish and 494 days (1.4 years) for flathead catfish. The longest distances traveled were 43.1 km by a channel catfish and 44.3 km by a flathead catfish. Fisherman returns indicated that catfish were caught primarily from April through July. The many recaptures, even after long periods, within 1.6 km of the tagging point, …
