The effect of quasi-hydrostatic pressure upon the ferromagnetic ground state of magnetodielectric, double-
perovskite La₂ MnNiO₆ is investigated using x-ray absorption spectroscopy and diffraction measurements in a
diamond anvil cell. The Mn-O-Ni superexchange interaction that gives rise to ferromagnetism in this cation-
ordered structure is stable to at least 38...
In biology, function and disease are closely intertwined, requiring the coordination of hundreds of intricate chemical reactions. Interdisciplinary cooperation between chemical and biological approaches is necessary to decipher the chemical links between physiological and pathological conditions. In this arena, the precision tools made possible with chemical biology can manipulate and...
A study of the population ecology of Columbia River fall chinook
salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Walbaum), was made in an attempt
to determine the cause of a serious decline in this run which occurred
in the early 1950's. Fluctuations in abundance of major salmon runs
the North Pacific were examined to...
The central purpose of this study was to examine physicians' knowledge of and attitudes toward hearing aids. This study was conducted with 71 general practitioners affiliated with Scarborough General Hospital in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada.
Attitude was measured by a 5-point Likert-type scale developed for the study. Knowledge was measured through...
The Coast Reservation of Oregon was established under Executive Order of President Franklin Pierce in November, 1855, as a homeland for the southern Oregon tribes. It was an immense, isolated wilderness, parts of which had burned earlier in the century. There were some prairies where farming was possible, but because...
