Bacterial Source Tracking in the Sinking Creek Watershed Using Antibiotic Resistance Analysis and Ribotyping.
… determine the sources of bacteria isolated from Sinking Creek. Based on the results of this study, ARA and ribotyping are not useful techniques for identifying sources of fecal pollution in Sinking Creek. ARA classification rates were low, and ribotype pattern generation success was 37%. The …

Monitoring of Selected Bacteriological Parameters Associated with the Sinking Creek Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL).
<p>Sinking Creek, a stream in northeast Tennessee, was added to the state 303 (d) list and a TMDL for fecal coliforms developed. The study objectives were to 1) identify areas in Sinking Creek with elevated levels of fecal coliforms and 2) compare data collected to results from watershed models …

Spacial and temporal distributions of selected immature aquatic insect species collected in Sinking Creek, Virginia
… riffles along the longitudinal gradient of Sinking Creek, Virginia was conducted over a twelve month period. Seasonal changes in total numbers of individuals and species were observed. Temporal changes in community dominance occurred throughout this study. Change in community composition was …

The Use of Selected Water Quality Parameters to Identify Fecal Coliform Sources in Support of the Sinking Creek Total Maximum Daily Load.
<p>Sinking Creek, located in upper east Tennessee, is on the 303(d) list for not meeting minimum water quality standards for recreation. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for fecal coliforms was developed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of water quality parameters to identify …

Application of Multivariate Statistical Methodology to Model Factors Influencing Fate and Transport of Fecal Pollution in Surface Waters
… to protect and restore surface water quality. Sinking Creek is listed on the State of Tennessee’s 303D list as impaired due to pathogen contamination. The need to address the listing of this and other water bodies on the 303D list through the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) process has resulted …

Life history and growth of three populations of Glossosoma nigrior (Trichoptera: Glossosomatidae) from three thermally distinct locations
… Two populations were located in Big Stony Creek (Stations 1 and 2) while the third was located in Sinking Creek (Station 3). The thermal regimes at each station differed in their seasonal patterns of temperature change and the amount of heat accumulated annually. Aside from a brief period …

Kinematic implications of football structures
… the back limbs of folds at thrust terminations (Sinking Creek anticline) and in hangingwall strata seems to indicate folding was largely accomplished by flexural flow in units of relatively low mechanical strength.

Analysis of the structure of the immature insect segment of a stream riffle community
… 1973 using 1m² bottom sampler from a rifle in Sinking Creek in Giles County, Virginia to analyze the structure of the immature insect segment of the community. The following characteristics of the insect segment of the community were examined: life histories of the major species; total numbers; …

Natural history and ecological observations of a population of Conhaway crayfishes and their symbiotic branchiobdellidan associates
… studied a population of C. appalachiensis in Sinking Creek in Newport, VA from March 2017 until February 2018. We collected morphological data and quantified the branchiobdellidan communities on 986 individuals, and kept note of egg brooding and young of year throughout the study period. The …
