The magnetic properties of praseodymium metal are interpreted in term s of a simple model suggested by the crystal structure where alternate layers of ions are subjected to crystal fields of face-centred cubic and hexagonal symmetry. The crystal field parameters are found by fitting the magnetic specific heat anomaly, and the variation of the susceptibility with temperature can be explained using a two-parameter molecular field model. The exchange intemaction is predominantly ferromagnetic in sign. The origin of the hyperfine specific heat is discussed, and attributed to interaction effects, though these must be larger than can be accounted for by simple theoretical estimates.

Multifractional Brownian motion is a Gaussian process which has changing scaling properties generated by varying the local Hölder exponent. We show that multifractional Brownian motion is very sensitive to changes in the selected Hölder exponent and has extreme changes in magnitude. We suggest an alternative stochastic process, called integrated fractional white noise, which retains the important local properties but avoids the undesirable oscillations in magnitude. We also show how the Hölder exponent can be estimated locally from discrete data in this model.

In recent years, the electron microscope has been significantly improved in resolution and we can obtain routinely atomic-level high resolution images without any special skill. With this improvement, the structure analysis of organic materials has become one of the interesting targets in the biological and polymer crystal fields.Up to now, X-ray structure analysis has been mainly used for such materials. With this method, however, great effort and a long time are required for specimen preparation because of the need for larger crystals. This method can analyze average crystal structure but is insufficient for interpreting it on the atomic or molecular level. The electron microscopic method for organic materials has not only the advantage of specimen preparation but also the capability of providing various information from extremely small specimen regions, using strong interactions between electrons and the substance. On the other hand, however, this strong interaction has a big disadvantage in high radiation damage.
