Hard red winter (HRW) is an important bread wheat that accounts for more than 40% of the United States wheat crop and wheat exports. This fall-seeded wheat is produced in the Great Plains, which extend from the Mississippi River west to the Rocky Mountains, and from the Dakotas and Montana south to Texas. Significant quantities are also produced in California. HRW has moderately high protein content, usually averaging 11—12%, and good milling and baking characteristics. 

Zinc. Zinc deposits in the United States extend from Maine through the Appalachian Mountains, and west through the Mississippi Valley into the Rocky Mountain states. U.S. reserves are estimated to be 27 x t Zn (108). World reserves and resources are 135 and 110 x 10 t, respectively. The... 

The principal source of helium is certain natural gas fields. The helium contents of more than 10,000 natural gases in various parts of the world have been measured (9). Helium concentrations of a few are Hsted in Table 2. In the United States, recovery of helium is economical only for helium-rich gases containing more than about 0.3 vol % belium. Most of the United States helium resources are located in the midcontinent and Rocky Mountain regions, and about 89% of the known United States supply is in the Hugoton field in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas the Keyes field in Oklahoma the Panhandle and Cliffside fields in Texas and the Riley Ridge area in Wyoming (11). 

North America.. In the United States, lignite deposits are located in the northern Great Plains and in the Gulf states. Subbituminous coal is found along the Rocky Mountains. The western half of North Dakota has about 74% of the nation s resources, Montana 23%, Texas 2%, and Alabama and South Dakota about 0.5% each. The lignite resources to 914 m represent 28% of the total toimage of all coal deposits in the United States. The lower cost and low sulfur content have contributed to rapid growth in production.

The South and North were the two largest timber-related secondary products manufacturing regions, adding 16,350 million (41%) and 15,549 million (30%) of value, respectively, in 1991 (Table 10). The Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast regions combined added the remaining 20%.

With the downhole power available and the signal detection threshold at surface, Figure 4-254b gives the maximum depth that can be reached by the technique as a function of frequency. Assuming that phase-shift keying is used with two cycles per bit, in a 10 fi m area (such as the Rocky mountains) a depth of 2 km (6,000 ft) could be reached while transmitting 7 bits/s.

The tetracyclines are a group of anti-infectives composed of natural and semisynthetic compounds. They are useful in select infections when die organism shows sensitivity (see Chap. 7) to the tetracyclines, such as in cholera, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and typhus. 

These antibiotics are effective in die treatment of infections caused by a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms. The tetracyclines are used in infections caused by Rickettsiae (Rocky Mountain spotted fever, typhus fever, and tick fevers). Tetracyclines are also used in situations in which penicillin is contraindicated, in the treatment of intestinal amebiasis, and in some skin and soft tissue infections. Oral...
