The atrazine amounts ranged from < 0.01 to 88 ug/liter. Peak concentrations were observed in shallow well water downgradient from irrigated fields at the end of the irrigation season. The areal and vertical distributions of atrazine are closely associated with those of nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), which was measured as an indicator of deep percolation from irrigated croplands. However, temporal variations in atrazine concentrations suggest that it is a non-conservative constituent of ground water. Alachlor and dieldrin amounts were extremely low, being less than 0.1 ug/liter in all but one water sample which was taken from a well located in an excessively well-drained area. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was measured in 95 water samples and the amounts ranged from 0.2 to 4.8 mg/liter. Maximum occurred in shallow wells and there were no seasonal assocation with either atrazine or NO3-N.

This is not something for which LyX has full native support. Have a look at the documentation for the fancyhdr package. I've used fancyhdr before -- a long time ago. I think that KOMA-Script also has some solutions for this. I'll also look at the LaTeX guide and see if there's a different package that would do it.

This is not something for which LyX has full native support. Have a look at the documentation for the fancyhdr package. (There is some stuff on that in LyX's own documentation.) Probably you will want to define a 'fancy' page style to be used most of the time. (E.g., with running headers of chapter names on the left pages, and section names on the right pages, with page numbers left or right depending, etc.) In Document> Settings> Page Layout, you then choose "fancy" as the page style. Then you can redefine the 'plain' style (as described in the fancyhdr docs) to do something simpler, with the copyright info at the bottom. (If you want that to change chapter to chapter, you can reissue the commands to do that.) Then at the start of each chapter, you do: \thispagestyle{plain} in ERT. In some classes, that actually happens automatically: The \chapter command issues that command itself. I'm not sure if your class does. As always with LaTeX, think: how can I automate this?

Parent-child book questions
I'm writing a book (KOMA-Script book class) which I expect to be long so I want to learn how to use the Parent-Child multi-source documents capabilities of LyX. In the parent doc I've set each child to have its own bibliography (references). I want a single index, but that's well in the future. Reading in the Embedded Objects help manual (Sec 7.2) that, "To be able to work on child documents without the need to open their master, specify in the child document the master in the menu Document->Settings->Document->Class. This master document will then be used in the background by LyX when you edit the child document.", I tried to do this. But, I cannot locate the parent document in the combo box and don't know how to have LyX find the file in the "Local Layout" widget. The source directory had the parent and child *.lyx files. There's also an images/ subdirectory in which images for the child documents will be placed. When I open the "Local Layout" widget I see only the images subdirectory. When I click on that directory's parent and select the parent file's directory the .lyx file is not displayed, only the images/ subdirectory. What have I missed? On another issue, I want to add the book's title and copyright in the footer of each chapter's title page so they can be separately distributed. Can I remove the footnote indicator on the chapter title and the number in the footer for this? I'm confident I'll have more questions as I learn this new way to create a book.
