Subject: PUBLICATIONS: Reference List no. 4
"Equilibrium-conditions in debris-laden streams," by W. W.
Rubey: Am. Geophy. Union Trans. 14: 1933, p. 497-505.
"Outline of the energetics of stream-transportation of
solids," by Howard Cook: Am. Geophys. Union Trans. 1935,
Part II, p. 456-463.
"Energy-balance in stream-flows carrying suspended load," by
Robert T. Knapp: Am. Geophys. Union Trans. 1938, Part I, p.
501-505.
"The mechanism of energy loss in fluid friction," by Boris A.
Bakhmeteff and William Alloan: Am. Soc. of Civil Eng.
Trans., 1946, V. 111, p. 1043-1102.
"Physical and chemical behavior of suspended solids," by
Richard D. Hoak (Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh, Pa.): Sewage
and Industrial Wastes, v. 31, no. 12, p. 1401-1415, December
1959.
"Thermodynamic properties of manganese and its compounds," by
Alla D. Mah, U.S. Bureau of Mines, Rept. of Inv. 5600, 1960.
"Solubilization pegged as a key to detergency". Chem. & Eng.
News, v. 38, no. 35, p. 34-35, August 29, 1960.
(Effectiveness of surfactants is partly due to their ability
to solubilise oily soils, Monsanto research shows.)
"Measurements of organic contaminants in the Nation's
rivers," by Francis M. Middleton and James J. Lichtenberg,
Robert A. Taft Eng. Center: Ind. & Eng. Chem, v. 52, no. 6,
p. 99A-102A, June 1960. (A beginning survey using the carbon
filter technique, shows variability of contaminant
concentrations and reveals important specific contaminants in
five major rivers: Columbia, Colorado, Missouri,
Mississippi, and Ohio.
"Twenty years of progress in ion exchange," by W. S. Morrison
and Joseph Thompson: Water & Sewage Works, v. 107, no. 6, p.
225-230, June 1960. (The ten most significant developments
in this period according to the authors are: organic cation
resins, weakly basic anion resins, strongly basic anion
resins, hot lime-sodium cycle exchange, chloride anion
exchange dealkalization, mixed bed deionization, counterflow
regeneration, automation of equipment, high flow rate ion
exchange, and continuous ion exchange. These are reviewed
both in the light of historic place and manner in which it
increased the usefulness of ion exchange techniques.)
"Review of detergent research program," by P. J. Weaver:
Jour. Water Pollution Control Federation (formerly Sewage and
Industrial Wastes), v. 32, no. 3, p 288-296, March 1960.
(Presented at 1959 Annual Meeting Ohio Sewage and Industrial
Wastes Association, Cincinnati, Ohio, June 17-19, 1959).
"The structure of liquids," by J. D. Bernal: Scientific
American, v. 203, no. 2, p. 124-137, August 1960. (new
geometrical analysis shows that there is some order in the
disorderly arrangements of the molecules of a liquid. The
method may lead to a general theory of the liquid state.)
"Geologic history of sea water," W. W. Rubey: Geol. Soc.
America Bull., v. 62, no. 9, p. 1111-1148, September 1951.
