observed and reported it in 1879.
«When it was theorized that the quantum

Hall effect which Jörg Wunderlich, Jairo Sinova, and Tomas Jungwirth discovered in 2004 following a prediction of Sinova and co-workers in 2003.

observed that its resistance (the drag on a current) increased in a stepwise pattern called the quantum
Hall effect.

observed in 1980.
Situational factors
observed to impact on parental / caregiver coping include the availability of treatment services (e.g., Gray 2006), clinician referrals to support resources (e.g., Mandell and Salzer 2007), family functioning (e.g., Altiere and von Kluge 2009), and the combined
effects of community support availability and child behavior problems (e.g.,
Hall 2012).
