This study examined the interrelationships among economic pressure, maternal depression, social support, and marital conflict in a sample of 239 mothers in Romania. Data were collected through a school-based survey. Findings indicated that higher levels of economic pressure were associated with higher levels of marital conflict. Economic pressure was also associated with higher marital conflict indirectly through increased maternal depression and lowered social support. The present results were similar to those obtained in studies conducted among U.S. samples. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献
The environmental, cultural, socio-economic and political conditions of each community greatly affect the municipality’s effort
and decision-making in managing household wastes. Composting at home can be used as a sound method of SWM, can manage the
waste at source itself thereby can increase their recycling. And vermicomposting is a viable and completely feasible option
at household level, provided it is acceptable to family members to handle the worms and to remove worm-casts subsequently.
In this regard, the present paper gives a methodological framework for assessing the management of urban household organic
wastes using different compost models to influence the actual efficiency and effectiveness of a municipality’s collection
and management services. The current study also deals with the challenges of solid waste management with a focus on the segregation
of compostable wastes from the non-compostable ones and their composting, recycling or disposal. The non-compostable wastes
can be left for recycling and re-use by the concerned authorities. The composting behavior and the efficiency of different
compost models have been dealt with, and it is concluded that vermicomposting model is the best option. Urban residents can
be educated to vermicompost not only their entire kitchen wastes but also garden wastes to reduce the burden on the municipal
councils. 相似文献
Syntactic foam composites of cyanate ester with varying volume fractions of resin and glass microballoon were processed and
evaluated for tensile, flexural and compressive properties. The effect of nature and volume fraction of microballoon on the
mechanical properties was studied. The mechanical properties showed a gradual decrease in strength with increase in volume
fraction of microballoon. The specific strength values also manifested a similar order. A similar behaviour was observed for
syntactic foams with microballoons of varying true density. The properties increased proportional to the strength of the microballoon
in resin-rich systems implying a strong microballoon-resin interface, corroborated by Scanning Electron Microscopy studies.
The compressive modulus showed a decreasing trend with enhanced microballoon loading. 相似文献
Ferroelectric glass–ceramics of composition 0.90 (Ba0.7Sr0.3) TiO3–0.10(B2O3:SiO2) (0.90 BST:0.10 BS) synthesized by sol–gel method have been used for the preparation of dielectric thick-film inks. The particle dispersion of the glass–ceramic powders in the thick-film ink formulations have been studied through rheological measurements for fabricating thick-film capacitors by screen printing technique. The thick films derived from such glass–ceramics are found to sinter at considerably lower temperatures than the pure ceramic, and exhibit good dielectric characteristics with a tunability of 32% at 1 MHz under a dc bias field of 35 kV/cm. 相似文献
Subthreshold leakage current becomes the major component of total power dissipation as scaling down the feature size. In this paper, two new circuit techniques are proposed for reducing the subthreshold leakage power consumption in domino logic circuit. Dual threshold voltage DOIND (Domino logic with clock and input dependent transistors) and NMOS sleep switch dual threshold voltage DOIND circuits for low leakage domino logic circuits are presented. High threshold voltage transistors are utilized to reduce the leakage current and a sleep transistor is added to the dynamic node that strongly turnoff all the high threshold voltage transistor and significantly reduce the subthreshold leakage power. The proposed circuit techniques, dual threshold voltage DOIND logic and sleep switch dual threshold voltage DOIND logic reduces the leakage current by 71.46 and 74.86% respectively as compared to standard domino logic circuit. Simulation results also shows that both the circuits are less affected by supply and temperature variations. The proposed sleep switch dual threshold voltage DOIND exhibits 19.95% less power consumption with 24% die area overhead for the buffer circuit as compared to standard domino logic circuit. The proposed sleep switch dual threshold voltage DOIND logic has improved normalized figure of merit of 1.17 as compared to standard domino logic circuit.
