    How to ship catalytic material into the US

    Well, they can be easily purchased in almost any country. The materials are zeolites, ZnO and SiO2. I wonder if I will need some kind of permit or something. Thank you

    How to Calculate the Volume of a Cylinder Using Ideal Gas Equation?

    Homework Statement An ideal gas is stored in a cylinder whose volume is unknown. Part of this gas is transferred to another cylinder whose volume is 300 cm3 and pressure is 790 mmHg. The mass loss caused the pressure in the first cylinder to decrease from 650 to 630 mmHg. Considering that all...

    Career Experience or Education?

    Might be true where you live. I have seen many people regret their decisions of not having studied (some had no other option but work as they started their families, let's say, not voluntarily). Where I live, education is hard to get, so it's one of the most valuable things. My advice is that...

    Career Experience or Education?

    I can't think of many reasons one would quit university for a job. I wouldn't. I tend to think that if you got that job without a degree, with a degree you'll get a much better job. Three years ago I got a job I regret I did it because if I hadn't, I would have finished my PhD by now. Just my...

    Hi Do you know if there is a way of 'stopping' this command? Once you use it, all following pages get footers and headers etc. Very much appreciated

    Can't get styles to work on the fist page of References - TeX

    To be honest, and with all due respect and my limited knowledge of LaTeX, I don't think this makes much sense! We should be able to do whatever we need. I, for instance, just can't figure out how to do this! Márcio

    Can't get styles to work on the fist page of References - TeX

    It's a thesis so I chose 'report': \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report} and this is the references settings: \bibliographystyle{ametsoc} \renewcommand{\bibname}{Referências} \bibliography{Referencias}%{lof}{\protect\thispagestyle{fancy}} \thispagestyle{fancy} and I'm using MikTeX...

    Can't get styles to work on the fist page of References - TeX

    Hi all, The references have about 10 pages, and I set them to be fancy, ie, footers, headers, page numbers etc... but this will only work from the second page on. The first page won't accept any other settings but LaTeX defaults. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help will be very...
