The extended-Lifshitz-Kosevitch formalism (ELK) unifies the treatment of
the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect, allowing it to transcend its traditional roles
of mapping Fermi surfaces and measuring effective masses. Here we exploit the
capabilities of dHvA as a probe of many-body effects to examine heavy-fermion su-
perconductivity. ELK successfully describes...
The education (particularly graduate education) of Americans
who were active in astronomical research between 1876 and 1941
is assessed for its effectiveness in preparing the astronomers for
careers in research. This period contains three dynamic changes:
the growth of American astronomy in becoming the world's leading
community of astronomers, the...
Sustainable management of the world’s forests is a key component for conserving biodiversity, soil and water resources, mitigating climate change, strengthening economies, and promoting sustainable communities and human well-being, now and in the future. While international cooperation is important, the actual policies and management actions that affect forest conditions and...
This study identified some of the ways that multiethnic women describe their ethnic
identities, how they perceive ethnic-specific gender identities and what they think are
appropriate norms for, and effective outcomes of, communicative behavior. Twelve
multiethnic women described their ethnic identity names or labels, and ethnic-specific gender
identities; they also...

Successful cryopreservation of all biological specimens would have an untold positive impact on medicine and scientific research. However, cryopreservation of the most complex biological specimens, such as tissues and organs, remains elusive. Vitrification, or ice-free cryopreservation, is promising for cryopreservation of complex specimens. The biggest challenge, though, is the toxicity...
This document is a summary of the activities of the Wildlife Division for the period of July 1, 1977 to June 30, 1978. It includes numbers of hunting licenses, increased prices of furs, and both large and small game statistics including elk, bears, pheasants, and quail. The document also discusses...
Analytical chemistry is an essential qualitative and quantitative tool to describe foods and biomaterials and their changes during production, processing and distribution. In this work, rapid analytical procedures for the extraction and quantification of components in fluid milk and diatom fermentation broth were developed. Analytical methods to measure the concentration...
