However, most preparation methods are tedious and complicated; do not easily produce monomorphological single crystals.

For the capricious and uncertain favor of this the only marriageable young lady in the district, all the susceptible and unattached cowboys (of which class the population almost wholly consisted) strove together eagerly and without ceasing, mavericking right and left everything they could lay their hands on, with a running brand L I L, until, when the tenderfoot she had all along been engaged to came out and married her, she brought him great herds of L I L cattle, with which they gayly set up a ranch beneath the noses of the forlorn celibate community.

[…] we will begin cutting until we have 50 crewers left for the novice team.

The global distribution of sources and permanent seismic stations limits the resolution of velocity gradients and total extent of the LLSVPs under Africa (Figure 9) and the Pacific, so deployments of portable instruments have been important for detailed differential traveltime analyses and waveform modeling used to improve resolution of LLSVP structure. Ritsema et al. (1998) and Ni and Helmberger (2003a,b) find that low-shear-velocity structure under southern Africa involves 3% ...
