The US Army Engineer District, New Orleans has been evaluating the feasibility of deeper draft access to the ports of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. One of the factors being considered in the evaluation is the impact of the deeper channel on salinity intrusion in the Lower Mississippi River. The importance of such an evaluation is because the city of New Orleans relies primarily upon the Mississippi River for its supply of fresh water. A major reason for conducting the numerical modeling study was not only to evaluate the impact of a deeper channel on salinity intrusion using historical riverflows but also to use the numerical model to determine the impact on the wedge intrusion of increasing the height of natural river crossings, i.e., creating a sill in the river. To address the question of the stability of such a sill composed of natural sediment, the HEC-6 computer program Scour and Deposition in Rivers and Reservoirs, HEC (1977), was applied.

The poem about two eyes and a head--Wynken, Blynken, and Nod--is illustrated in blues and half-tones.

A numerical model developed by Tetra Tech, Inc., which traces the movement of dredged material disposed in the aquatic environment has been employed at 10 proposed ocean disposal sites in the Hawaiian Islands. The primary objective of the model applications was to provide a qualitative description of the behavior of the disposed material with a corresponding estimate of how much of the material reaches the bottom of each of the 1000-yd-radius disposal sites. In addition to model results, a brief description of the numerical modle and the rationale for selection of the basic input data at the Pacific Ocean disposal sites are presented. Results from the study indicate that for the particular input data used, at most of the sites the majority of the material will leave the disposal site as suspended sediment rather than being deposited on the bottom.

This volume is a collection of essays presented to George R. Hughes, Professor Emeritus of Egyptology at the Oriental Institute, on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. The articles deal with the art, history, language, literature, and religion of ancient Egypt, concentrating especially on the later periods of Egyptian civilization, which were Professor Hughes' special interest.

Professional nurses have long been identifying and interpreting clues related to the gathering of information from which such decisions could be consistently drawn. The organization, systematization, and clustering of such clues required an extensive search of what was meaningful to nurses in different clinical settings. The research staff who designed the project as a contract to fulfill some basic goals for collecting, disseminating and utilizing information data for patients' records, have spent 3 years refining an assessment tool with two major factors in mind. First, a guideline was needed to obtain the most accurate information possible about individual patients in the context of their families and the community. Second, an assessment tool was needed which was computer manageable in the sense that it could be adapted to an on-line system of computer input and retrieval which would supply significant information to multiple sources. Two major sets of assessment records have been developed from an exhaustive trial of forms in a variety of settings. Consultation has been obtained from resources country-wide to insure as broad a view as possible of the current efforts in the development of new record systems. Faculty, students and nursing service staff members in hospitals and community health agencies have participated in the trials of these forms in real situations.

A classification of wetland plant communities was developed for a study area in north-central Minnesota in order to analyze data on waterfowl use of habitat that were gathered by radio telemetry. The classification employs features of several earlier classifications in addition to new classes for bogs and lakeshore communities. Brief descriptions are given for each community, and the important plant species are listed. Discriminant function analysis was used for 40 plant species. Seventy-five percent of the stands studied were classified correctly by this technique. Average probabilities of assignment to communities were calculated and helped to identify distinct and poorly defined communities as well as the relationship among communities.

The Big Jim mine of the United Eastern Mining Co. is at Oatman, Mohave County, [Arizona]. Oatman is in the foothills on the western side of the Black Mountains, at an elevation of about 3,000 feet. It is on a paved highway about 30 miles west of Kingman, the principal distributing center for mining supplies in the district, and 25 miles from Topock, on the Colorado River. Both latter towns are stations on the Santa FE Railraod ; Oatman has no rail connection.

This paper describing the operations of the Cresson mine of the Cresson Consolidated Gold Mining & Milling Co. at Cripple Creek, Colorado, is one of a series of papers on mining methods and costs being prepared by the United States Bureau of Mines. The Cresson has recently been the most important mine in the Cripple Creek district. During the 1932 and 1933 average of 230 tons of new ore (excluding dump material) that averaged about $10 in gold was shipped daily; 150 to 17 men were employed. Stoping was by the shrinkage method exclusively. The ore was screened, washed, and hand-sorted at the surface and shipped to the Golden Cycle mill at Colorado Springs for treatment. A considerable proportion of the production was made by lessees working under the so-called "split-check" system.
