TL;DR: The disruption of marriage regularly produces emotional distress, almost irrespective of the quality of the marriage or of desire for its dissolution as mentioned in this paper, which is similar to that described as occurring in children who have lost attachment figures and suggests that similar feelings are present in separating adults.
Abstract: The disruption of marriage regularly produces emotional distress, almost irrespective of the quality of the marriage or of desire for its dissolution. The distress is similar to that described as occurring in children who have lost attachment figures and suggests that similar feelings are present in the separating adults. It also suggests that, although other components of love fade in troubled marriages, attachment persists. Separated individuals, however, not only want to rejoin their spouses but also to express anger with them. They may manage the resulting ambivalence by partial suppression, by compartmentalization, or by alternating expression of positive and negative feelings.

TL;DR: Shifting program demands substantially account for what otherwise appears to be the failure of efforts to increase citizens' participation in health delivery programs, and, by extension, in other areas where the impetus for increased citizen participation comes from government initiatives.
Abstract: In this paper we trace the implications of some common contradictions in government-inspired efforts to increase citizen participation in health care delivery We cover general problems of generating citizen participation, specific difficulties in community organization resulting when issues of health are the organizing focus, and the benefits that were thought to result from efforts to increase citizen participation in social programs in the 1960's When programs focused on increased citizen participation were initiated program administrators attempted to maximize citizen involvement quickly by: projecting an image of maximal social impact; minimizing or ignoring questions of long-term fiscal uncertainty; projecting an image of maximal control by citizens; and projecting images of institutional solidarity and of experimentation and innovation They tended to recruit to the staff social activists taken to be representative of the community (although they might not be), promising opportunities for upward mobility They also tended to adopt conciliatory administrative styles in keeping with their experimental non-elitist orientations These tendencies characteristic of the initiation phase of projects conflicted with the demands placed upon programs in later phases of program implementation These demands resulted from later perceived needs to: evaluate programs; limit spending; counter internal organizational opposition; and respond to sponsors' shifting interests Paraprofessionals recruited to the staff tended to lose their "community" orientation, and administrative style tended to focus considerably more on program accountability These shifting program demands substantially account for what otherwise appears to be the failure of efforts to increase citizens' participation in health delivery programs, and, by extension, in other areas where the impetus for increased citizen participation comes from government initiatives

TL;DR: In this article, a careful reading of Paul's arguments in 1 Corinthians can reveal some of their key religious terminology and principles, especially in Hellenistic philosophical sources and Hellenic Jewish texts, which are then able to draw certain conclusions regarding the religious viewpoint of these Corinthians.
Abstract: In 1 Corinthians the apostle Paul is attempting to straighten out some people in his newly founded community who, by virtue of their possession of wisdom, were claiming a special spiritual status. Apparently they designated themselves as pneumatikoi in contrast with the psychikoi, or those of lesser religious achievement. By a careful reading of Paul's arguments in 1 Corinthians we can discern some of their key religious terminology and principles. On the basis of pertinent parallels to these terms and principles, especially in Hellenistic philosophical sources and Hellenistic Jewish texts, it is then possible to draw certain conclusions regarding the religious viewpoint of these Corinthians.

TL;DR: Involvement in Everyday Imaginative Activities, Vividness of Imagery, Control of Visual Imagery and two Attitude Toward Hypnosis scales were correlated with the performance of male and female hypnotic subjects on the Barber Suggestibility Scale.
Abstract: Previous studies indicate that various measures of imaginative ability may correlate with some standardized scales of hypnotic suggestibility but not others. In the present study Involvement in Everyday Imaginative Activities, Vividness of Imagery, Control of Visual Imagery and two Attitude Toward Hypnosis scales were correlated with the performance of male and female hypnotic subjects on the Barber Suggestibility Scale. Unlike previous results obtained with the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale, Involvement failed to correlate with the Barber Scale and Control correlated negatively with the Barber Scale in females. These data indicate that relationships between subject variables and hypnotic suggestibility may be more dependent on the structure of specific suggestibility scales than has heretofore been recognized.

TL;DR: In the early phases of the Industrial Revolution, the state was an important participant in the early stages of the industrial revolution as discussed by the authors, and its various acts encouraged or impeded growth is open to debate at a number of levels.
Abstract: … My Thoughts always return to the Necessity of exercising Politicks in cultivating & protecting & extending our Manufactures as the principal Source for improving our Lands, multiplying our People & increasing & establishing our Commerce & Naval Force.Samuel Garbett to the Marquess of Lansdowne, 2 October 1786.Students of the industrial revolution now generally admit what seemed obvious to Samuel Garbett, the Birmingham manufacturer and lobbyist, two hundred years ago; namely, that the state was an important participant in the early phases of the industrial revolution. Many scholars still emphasize the restraint of English government — a restraint which gave relatively free play to natural economic forces and to individual genius, a restraint which also aggravated the social repercussions of so momentous a transformation. But they recognize that entrepreneurs could obtain legal sanction for enclosures, canals, and a myriad of other “improvements' easily and at moderate cost by means of a private act of parliament, and they debate whether existing patent law stimulated invention by providing adequate rewards for the inventor or aimed primarily at discouraging stultifying monopoly. Because the processes of growth in the last decades of the century were so fundamental and pervasive, fiscal, commercial, colonial, and foreign policies were bound to have an impact on the embryonic industrial economy. Whether government by its various acts encouraged or impeded growth is open to debate at a number of levels. There can be no doubt, however, that politicians endeavored, if sometimes slowly and haphazardly, to adapt policy and law to changing conditions and that their decisions did affect the tempo and quality of growth.

TL;DR: In this article, four fluorescence progressions of the B 0 + - X 1 Σ + band of IBr 79 excited by a singlemode cw dye-laser have been observed and analyzed.
TL;DR: Glycopeptides from larval, white puparial and fully sclerotized cuticle were prepared by four different routes and amino acid composition compared and failure to effect complete proteolysis is ascribed to the shielding action of chitinase-resistant poly-N-acetylglucosamine chains, rather than the presence of these protease-insensitive substituents in the peptide moiety.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied energy transfer in collisions of Na with Na2 over a wide range of initial relative translation energies E and impact parameters b by a classical mechanical trajectory method.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors re-examine the reliability of KAE and conclude that one-session KAE scores are valid and hence show true reliability, based upon a literature review of one session KAE validity studies.
Abstract: Critics of Kinesthetic Aftereffect (KAE) recommend abandoning it as a personality measure largely because of poor test-retest reliability. Although no test can be valid if lacking true reliability, to discard a measure because of poor retest reliability is an oversimplification of validation procedures. This pitfall is exemplified here by a reexamination of KAE.
KAE scores involve measures before (pretest) and after (test) aftereffect induction. Internal analysis of a KAE study showed: differential bias is present; its locus is the second session pretest; its form makes second-session pretest scores functionally more similar to first- and second-session test scores and functionally more dissimilar to first-session pretest scores. Given this second session bias, the retest correlation tells us nothing about the true reliability of a one-session KAE score. However, if a measure possesses external validity, it must to some degree show true reliability. Based upon a literature review of one-session KAE validity studies, we conclude that one session KAE scores are valid and hence show true reliability. KAE remains a promising personality measure.
TL;DR: In this paper, the Raman spectra of polycrystalline (NH4)2CrO4 and (ND4 2CO4) have been obtained by a sample rotation technique where the uncompressed solid is contained in a glass cylindrical cell.
Abstract: The Raman spectra of polycrystalline (NH4)2CrO4 and (ND4)2CrO4 have been obtained by a sample rotation technique where the uncompressed solid is contained in a glass cylindrical cell. The apparatus is a commerically available sample rotator for liquids, which was modified for the described solid sampling technique. The Raman spectra of (NH4)2CrO4 and (ND4)2CrO4 are discussed in relation to their uniquely monoclinic structure, in contrast to the β-K2SO4 structure found for (NH4)2SO4 and many alkali metal chromates and sulfates. The hydrogen bonding in (NH4)2CrO4 is described, and its role in determining both the structure and the Raman spectra is discussed. The data suggest a barrier to NH4+ rotation of approximately 3.70 kcal/mol, indicating that the ammonium ions are not freely rotating on the time scale of the Raman experiment (10−13 sec).

TL;DR: In this article, the rotational relaxation times and collision numbers of hydrogen in a bath of He atoms are calculated by a classical trajectory method for a range of temperatures between 300 and 1500 K using three models for the vibrational motion of hydrogen.
Abstract: Rotational relaxation times and collision numbers of hydrogen in a bath of He atoms are calculated by a classical trajectory method for a range of temperatures between 300 and 1500 K using three models for the vibrational motion of hydrogen. The first model treats the molecule as a rigid rotator, the second as a classical vibrating rotator and the third as a classical rotator but quantum vibrator with an initial vibrational energy set equal to the zero point of energy of hydrogen. Analysis of the relaxation times obtained from the three models leads to the conclusion that the rigid rotator model is the most suitable one for the classical mechanical calculation of rotational relaxation times of hydrogen.
TL;DR: In this paper, bound states and scattering resonances for a 3He-vacancy system in crystalline 4He are shown to exist and the experimental consequences of this enhanced diffusion are discussed.
Abstract: Bound states and scattering resonances for a 3He-vacancy system in crystalline 4He are shown to exist. For realistic physical parameters the theory yields binding energies of ∼ 0.1 K. It is found that the bound states and scattering resonances tend to enhance the diffusion coefficient of 3He. The experimental consequences of this enhanced diffusion are discussed.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of E-provided "information" about the effect of to-be-smoked marijuana on cognitive tasks and subjective evaluations of drug potency were investigated.
Abstract: Summary.-The present study investigated the effects of (a) E-provided "information" about the effects of to-be-smoked marijuana, (b) Ss' extreme performance on the Barber Suggestibility Scale, and (c) marijuana in 60 marijuana-experienced Ss on selected cognitive tasks and subjective evaluations of drug potency. Greater cognitive impairment was expected in a misinformed highly "suggestible" group than in 3 low "suggestible" group. The results indicate a significant post-marijuana deficit on some tasks not sensitive to effects of "suggestibility" or "information."
TL;DR: The proposal of logical probability is suggested as a meaningful explication of the prediction and the probability of a single event.
Abstract: The calculus of probability constitutes an elegant formal model for the various questions of prediction in criminology. However, the use of this model has been criticized for its failure to deal with individual instances vis-a-vis group phenomena. It has been argued that since probability is a function of classes or sequence of events, no meaning can be attached to the probability of a single event. This paper presents a logical analysis of this aspect of probability and prediction. The proposal of logical probability is suggested as a meaningful explication of the prediction and the probability of a single event.
TL;DR: In this paper, the rotational relaxation times and collision numbers of hydrogen in a bath of He atoms are calculated by means of a classical trajectory method over a range of temperatures from 50 to 300 K using two different choices for the initial rotational energy distribution of the molecules.
