		The Russian Lapps are also for the most part fishers, as is natural in a district with such an extent of coast and such a number of lakes, not to mention the advantage which the fisher has over the reindeer keeper in connexion with the many fasts of the Greek Church.
		Meantine the Karelians were pressing on the eastern Lapps, and in the course of the i ith century the rulers of Novgorod began to treat them as the Norsemen had treated their western brethren.

		Lapps also were aided by old-age pensions and by government welfare, which provided a greater share of their income than it did for Finns as a whole.

	Use of RF Bias in LAPPS (Large Area Plasma Processing System) - Storming Media
		Abstract: In the LAPPS processing scheme, RF bias can be used for either of two purposes: to provide energetic ion bombardment of a substrate, or to controllably raise the electron temperature (which is intrinsically very cool) to the desired value.
		The physics of RF bias in LAPPS differs from the situation in conventional processing reactors, for several reasons: (1) The plasma density adjacent to the substrate can be so high that the ion plasma frequency exceeds the microwave frequency.
		But in LAPPS, it may be preferable to provide a return current collector immediately adjacent to the plasma sheet.

	National Minorities of Finland, The Sámi — Virtual Finland
		Known widely in the past as Lapps, the term "Lapp" is now considered derogatory by many Sámi.
		A "Sámi" is a person who identifies himself or herself as a Sámi and who has, or at least one of whose parents or grandparents has, learnt Sámi as a first language.
		In 1995, this definition was broadened by another objective criterion: it now also covers descendants of a person who had been entered in a land, taxation or population register as a mountain, forest or fishing Lapp, even if such descendants do not fulfil the linguistic criteria.

		Abstract: The ability of LAPPS to remove standard semiconductor photoresist (PR) was studied.
		Little change in material removal was seen as gas composition went from pare oxygen to 80% argon, implying the PR removal mechanism in LAPPS was ion-driven, or more specifically ion-energy driven.
		Construction and modification details of the equipment and diagnostics used in these experiments are given in detail.
