CHAPTER 15 " His " and " Her " Relationships ? A Review of the Empirical Evidence

Comparing the experiences of men and women in intimate relationships is a fascination some might say an obsession that has long intrigued laypeople and researchers alike. The public appears to crave information about how men and women differ in their approaches to love and relationships, a point reflected in the continuing popularity of John Gray's (1993) best-selling book, Men are from. Mars, Women are from Venus. Social scientists, too, have tackled this topic. Thirty years ago, sociologist Jessie Bernard (1972) proposed that in every marriage there are actually two relationships "his" and "hers. " In the intervening years, relationship researchers have energetically investigated the possibility of important gender differences in close relationships, extending their analyses beyond marriage to include cohabiting partners, gay and lesbian couples (see Diamond, this volume), and other intimate relationships. A comprehensive history of theory and research on gender in close relationships has yet to be written, but a few landmarks are illustrative. Early analyses, primarily by sociologists and anthropologists, focused on the family (see review by Glenn, 1987). Working from a functionalist perspective, theorists such as Parsons (1955) suggested that the existence of the traditional nuclear family provided evidence that differentiated male-female roles serve vital functions, including the socialization of children and the stabilization of adult personality. In the 19705, emerging feminist perspectives criticized prevailing theories as justifying the status quo. Instead, feminist scholars urged analyses of male-female relationships that considered gender ideology, power inequalities, the division of labor, and the social context (e.g., Bernard, 1972). Although feminists often argued for the social origins of traditional gender patterns in relationships, the development of sociobiology provided an alternative perspective rooted in human evolution. Symons' (1979) influential book, The Evolution of Human Sexuality, laid the groundwork for evolutionary analyses of mate selection, parental investment, and other topics that continue to be studied today. In the 19705, empirical projects such as the Boston Couples Study (e.g., Peplau, Hill, & Rubin, 1993) paid increasing
Aalborg Universitet Distributed Strategy for Optimal Dispatch of Unbalanced Three-Phase Islanded

This paper presents a distributed strategy for the optimal dispatch of islanded microgrids, modeled as unbalanced three-phase electrical distribution systems (EDS). To set the dispatch of the distributed generation (DG) units, an optimal generation problem is stated and solved distributively based on primal-dual constrained decomposition and a first-order consensus protocol, where units can communicate only with their neighbors. Thus, convergence is guaranteed under the common convexity assumptions. The islanded microgrid operates with the standard hierarchical control scheme, where two control modes are considered for the DG units: a voltage control mode (VCM), with an active droop control loop, and a power control mode (PCM), which allows setting the output power in advance. To assess the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed approach, simulations were performed in a 25-bus unbalanced three-phase microgrid. According to the obtained results, the proposed strategy achieves a lower cost solution when compared with a centralized approach based on a static droop framework, with a considerable reduction on the communication system complexity. Additionally, it corrects the mismatch between generation and consumption even during the execution of the optimization process, responding to changes in the load consumption, renewable generation and unexpected faults in units.
Parameterizing anisotropic reflectance of snow surfaces from airborne digital camera observations in Antarctica

Abstract. The surface reflection of solar radiation comprises an important boundary condition for solar radiative transfer simulations. In polar regions above snow surfaces, the surface reflection is particularly anisotropic due to low Sun elevations and the highly anisotropic scattering phase function of the snow crystals. The characterization of this surface reflection anisotropy is essential for satellite remote sensing over both the Arctic and Antarctica. To quantify the angular snow reflection properties, the hemispherical-directional reflectance factor (HDRF) of snow surfaces was derived from airborne measurements in Antarctica during austral summer in 2013/14. For this purpose, a digital 180∘ fish-eye camera (green channel, 490–585 nm wavelength band) was used. The HDRF was measured for different surface roughness conditions, optical-equivalent snow grain sizes, and solar zenith angles. The airborne observations covered an area of around 1000 km × 1000 km in the vicinity of Kohnen Station (75∘0′ S, 0∘4′ E) at the outer part of the East Antarctic Plateau. The observations include regions with higher (coastal areas) and lower (inner Antarctica) precipitation amounts and frequencies. The digital camera provided upward, angular-dependent radiance measurements from the lower hemisphere. The comparison of the measured HDRF derived for smooth and rough snow surfaces (sastrugi) showed significant differences, which are superimposed on the diurnal cycle. By inverting a semi-empirical kernel-driven bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model, the measured HDRF of snow surfaces was parameterized as a function of solar zenith angle, surface roughness, and optical-equivalent snow grain size. This allows a direct comparison of the HDRF measurements with the BRDF derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite product MCD43. For the analyzed cases, MODIS observations (545–565 nm wavelength band) generally underestimated the anisotropy of the surface reflection. The largest deviations were found for the volumetric model weight fvol (average underestimation by a factor of 10). These deviations are likely linked to short-term changes in snow properties.
EFFECTS OF SOIL AND CLOSED SOILLESS SYSTEM ON GROWTH, PRODUCTIVITY, FRUIT QUALITY, AND PLANT MINERAL COMPOSITION OF ZUCCHINI SQUASH

Soilless system exhibited higher yield (total and marketable), growth, nutrient accumulation compared with those grown in soil. Among soilless system jute fiber led to higher yield and good fruit quality compare to other substrates. The highest marketable fresh weight was observed in jute fiber, followed by coco fiber while the lowest yield was recorded in soil with a reduction of 22% compared to sales treatments. In soilless culture fruit ascorbic acid and protein content were high with 31 and 71% respectively compared to soil treatment. The concentration of glucose, fructose and sucrose were significantly higher by 25, 32,114% respectively in soilless treatments than in soil. The concentration of N and Mg in leaves, stem, fruits, and flowers were significantly higher in soilless compared to soil. Flowers, leaves, fruit and stem of plants under jute fiber treatments shows highest concentration of K and P was significantly higher in soil than soilless treatments. The micronutrient concentrations (Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn) of plants grown in soilless treatment were generally higher than those grown on soil in the different plant tissues. The growth, yield, fruit quality and nutrient uptake was much more satisfactory on plant growing under media using jute fiber, than the other media. With controlled nutrient supply, less expense, less labor, no use of pesticides or fertilizer with the controlled environment the use soilless system with jute fiber can be an effective one for growing squash over conventional soil culture. Our results also showed that soilless culture can improve yield (total, marketable fruit) fruit quality of zucchini squash in comparison with soil culture.
Associations between Fermi GBM Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes and sferics from the WWLLN

We report on a search for correlations between Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes (TGFs) detected by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and lightning strokes measured using the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN). We associate 15 of a total 50 GBM-detected TGFs with individual discharges. We establish the relative timing between the TGF and the lightning stroke to an accuracy of < 50 μs, and find that in 13 of these 15 lightning-TGF associations, the lightning stroke and the peak of the TGF are simultaneous to ≈ 40 μs. This suggests that a large fraction of TGFs are coincident with lightning discharges. The two non-simultaneous associations do not show a consistent TGF-lightning stroke temporal sequence. All 15 associations are with sferics within 300 km of the sub-spacecraft position. For those TGFs not correlated with a particular lightning stroke, we find storm activity within 300 km of the sub-spacecraft position in all but four of the TGFs. For three of these four TGFs, we find storm activity very close to one of the magnetic footprints of the spacecraft position. We associate the sub-spacecraft TGFs with gamma-ray events and the footprint events with electrons traveling along magnetic field lines before hitting the Fermi spacecraft.
Aalborg Universitet A Review of Passive Power Filters for Three-Phase Grid-Connected Voltage-Source Converters

In order to reduce size and cost, high-order passive filters are generally preferred in power converters to cancel out high-frequency harmonics caused by pulsewidth modulation. However, the filter resonance peaks may require the use of passive dampers to stabilize the interactions between the load and source impedances. Furthermore, the stabilizing effect is more difficult to be guaranteed for cost-optimized filters, which are characterized by low-inductance and high-capacitance passive components. In this paper, several passive filter topologies used to interface voltage-source converters with the utility grid are reviewed and evaluated in terms of damping capability, stored energy in the passive components, and power loss in the damping circuit. In addition, the influences of different switching frequencies of power converters on the passive filter design are discussed in the range 1–15 kHz. Illustrative design examples of the passive filters and experimental data are also provided.
Jobs – Housing Imbalance and Commuting in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area : Exploration of Causes of Longer Commuting

Commuting is the major source of congestion and air pollution in the United States. For almost a decade, urban policy-makers have been concerned about the geographical balance between locations of jobs and housing as a strategy for reducing traffic congestion and air pollution in American cities. Despite the popularity and apparent acceptance of the job/housing (J/H) imbalance concept among public policy-makers, little empirical research has been done on the J/H imbalance and how it relates to commuting patterns. This research examines commuting patterns in the Atlanta metropolitan area to determine the extent to which commuting flow volume is the result of an imbalance between the location of home and workplace by using the most sophisticated and largest geographical scale data provided by the 1990 U.S. Census of Transportation Planning Package. This paper uses a Geographic Information System (GIS) to measure the job/housing imbalance within a commuting catchment area having a 7-mile radius from the centroid of each Transportation Analysis Zone. Analysis of variance, stepwise multiple regression and cartographic evidence all confirm the relationship between the imbalance of jobs and housing (J/H) and mean travel time to work. This investigation highlights the fact that the imbalance between the location of jobs and housing is the most important determinant for longer commuting and suggests that higher quality housing growth close to the job-rich communities may benefit the workers to economize the commuting time.
THE JOURNAL OF TEACHING ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC AND ACADEMIC PURPOSES

To explore the validity of picture-prompt writing assessment, the study investigated the influence of caption type (i.e. narrative, abstract, and zero) in the picture prompt on EFL writing quality of Chinese college students in terms of holistic scores and functional dimensions (i.e. Dimensions of Involvement, Narration, Elaborated reference, Persuasion, Abstractness, and On-line informational elaboration). ANOVA, MANOVA, and linear regression analysis were conducted and results showed that (a) participants performed significantly better with the abstract caption; (b) Dimensions of Involvement and Abstractness significantly distinguished essays with the abstract caption from those with other types; (c) Dimension of Persuasion significantly predicted ratings of essays with the narrative caption, while Dimension of Narration significantly predicted ratings of essays with the abstract caption. Finally, implications for picture-prompt writing assessment and instruction were discussed. Key word: caption, picture prompt, writing quality, functional dimension, holistic ratings
A Structural Approach to the Globalization Hypothesis for National In ation Rates

This paper studies the relation between globalization and national ination rates, contributing to the recent debate about the e¤ects of the increasing integration of the world economy on national ination processes which sees the thesis of Borio and Filardo (07) opposed to that of Ihrig et al. (07). We construct a new dataset, comparable to the one used in Ihrig et al., for a large sample of eighteen countries and we estimate a time varying coe¢ cients VAR for each of them. From the reduced form estimates of the VAR, we nd evidence supporting the view against the Globalization Hypothesis. However, the results from the structural version of the VAR depict a more interesting and elaborate picture. Globalization has had a signi cant role in determining the dynamics of ination for many countries since the 70s. These deeper relations could not emerge from the simple univariate Phillips Curve regressions. Nevertheless, the actual modest increase in openness of the last three decades did not determine any particular time evolution of the structural relations. Finally, a comparison across countries relates the importance of the role of globalization positively to the degree of openness of a country and to the degree of idiosyncrasy of its business cycle.

Distribution and Health Risk Assessment of Phthalate Acid Esters in Bottled Drinking Water from Selected Brands in Delta State, Southern Nigeria

Phthalate acid esters (PAEs) are widely used as plasticizers. However, they have the potential to migrate from plastic materials into the environment where they pose detrimental health impacts. Hence, they have gained wide attention. This study was therefore carried out to investigate the distribution and health risk assessment of PAEs in different bottled drinking water brands in Delta State, Southern Nigeria. Samples were collected from ten (10) bottled drinking water brands across eight (8) local government areas of the State. The 6-EPA controlled PAEs (DMP, DEP, DBP, BBP, DEHP and DNOP) and one uncontrolled PAEs (BEP) were investigated. The individual PAE concentrations ranged from 0.005 – 2.738 μg/L while the total concentration of PAEs in the different brands ranged from 0.023 4.361 μg/L. The predominant PAEs across the ten brands were DMP and BEP however DBP had the highest total concentration (4.392 μg/L) making it the main contributor to PAE levels in bottled drinking water brands. Analysis of variance showed no significant difference in the concentration of PAEs detected in the different bottled drinking water Original Research Article Edjere et al.; IRJPAC, 21(7): 18-28, 2020; Article no.IRJPAC. 57162 19 brands (p˃0.05). Health risk assessment indicated little non-carcinogenic risks from five controlled PAEs and little carcinogenic risk from DEHP. Continuous monitoring is however recommended to ensure than PAE levels in bottled drinking water remain within permissible limits. Our results therefore provides important information for the understanding of the distribution and potential health risks of PAEs in different bottled drinking water brands in Delta State.
Treated wastewater outperformed freshwater for barley irrigation in arid lands

The high demand of barley for animal feed and the scarcity of fresh water increase the need for the reuse of treated wastewater as an alternative source for irrigation. Therefore, two-field experiments were conducted to study physiological processes, plant growth, grain yield and yield components of four-barley cultivars grown under four-irrigation treatments using treated wastewater or fresh water. Plants of four-barley cultivars (ACSAD176, Rum, Athroh, Yarmouk) were exposed to four-irrigation treatments: i) Full-irrigation using treated wastewater (FWW); ii) Supplementary-irrigation using treated wastewater (SWW); iii) Supplementary-irrigation using fresh water (SFW); 4) Non-irrigation treatment (Rainfed). Fullor supplementary-irrigation using treated wastewater reduced stomatal resistance and increased plant photosynthetic rate, plant height, grain yield and yield components as estimated by grain number plant–1 and 1000-grain weight compared with rainfed conditions. Plants grown under supplementary-irrigation using treated wastewater produced higher grain yield than those grown under supplementary-irrigation using fresh water. Rum cultivar had the highest grain yield among cultivars grown under irrigation. Under rainfed conditions, Rum and ACSAD176 had the highest grain yield. In conclusion, supplementary-irrigation using treated wastewater improved grain yield of barley and can be a better choice to conserve water and reduce the risk of plant lodging at the end of the growing season. Irrigation of barley using treated wastewater did not change heavy metal (Zn, Cd, and Pb) concentrations in soil or harvested grains.
COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF ROOT GROWTH AND YIELD POTENTIAL OF FIVE BORO RICE VARIETIES

A field experiment was conducted to observe the growth of root, shoot, yield and yield contributing characteristics of five boro rice varieties of which four were local namely Taipe, Pariza, Lafaya and Jirashail and another was BRRI dhan50 (Banglamoti). The morphological traits, yield and yield attributes were significantly variable among the varieties studied. The variety BRRI dhan50 showed superiority in respect of morphological parameters such as tiller numbers, leaf numbers, leaf surface area, root volume, root numbers, root depth, root weight and total dry matter. The BRRI dhan50 was shorter in plant height, having more tillering ability contained higher leaf number which in turn showed superior growth and yield than those of local varieties. Moreover, BRRI dhan50 produced higher number of effective tillers plant, number of grains panicle and thousand grain weight (TGW) resulted in higher grain yield (5.7 t ha) which was statistically similar with pariza and lafaya respectively. Among the all local varieties, lafaya showed the best yield ability than those of other local varieties.
Ductal Carcinoma In Situ of the Breast: Perspectives on Tumor Subtype and Treatment

Objective To evaluate ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) characteristics and the effect of different treatment strategies. Patients and Methods. Using data with known hormone receptor (HoR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status obtained by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program from 2010-2014, the study was conducted to investigate tumor subtype-specific differences in various characteristics, overall survival (OS), and breast cancer-specific mortality (BCSM). Results A total of 3415 patients with DCIS were eligible. Compared with HoR+/HER- subgroup, patients with triple-negative (TN) and HoR-/HER+ were commonly higher in grade, larger in size, and tended to receive mastectomy (P < 0.05). The multivariate analysis revealed that patients with TN were more likely to have a poorer OS and show a higher breast cancer-specific mortality compared with the HoR+/HER- subgroup (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis on the history of local treatment and surgery showed patients receiving breast-conserving surgery (BCS) plus radiotherapy (R) and BCS plus axillary lymph node dissection was likely to improve OS without affecting breast cancer-specific mortality (P < 0.05). Conclusion The results demonstrate that DCIS associated with TN subtype portends poor prognosis. Meanwhile, BCS plus R was a preferable option and resulted in survival rates better than those achieved with mastectomy, and SLNB should be considered as an appropriate assessment of axillary staging in patients with DCIS.
Emotional competence and willingness to seek help from professional and nonprofessional sources

We sought to determine the relationship between emotional competence and willingness to seek help for emotional problems and suicidal ideation. A survey of 300 university undergraduates assessed emotional competence (skill at emotion perception, managing self-relevant emotions, and managing others' emotions), hopelessness, willingness to seek help from health professionals (e.g. counsellor) and nonprofessionals (friends, family), and perceived usefulness of past help-seeking experience. Those who reported feeling less skilled at managing emotions were less willing to seek help from family and friends for both emotional problems and suicidal ideation and less willing to seek help from health professionals for suicidal ideation. These relationships held even after controlling for hopelessness, sex, and past help-seeking experience. Mediational analysis suggested that people low in managing others' emotions were less willing to seek help from professionals because they had had poorer experiences with mental health professionals in the past. There was no significant relationship between emotion perception skill and willingness to seek help. People most likely to be in need of help (those poor at managing emotions) were the least willing to seek it, and if they did seek it, were the least likely to benefit from it.
Criteria for Emotion Recognition from Verbal and Nonverbal Expression: Studying Baggage Loss in the Airport

The issue of emotion recognition in real-life settings, lacking a clear criterion of the nature of the underlying emotion, is raised. After reporting their luggage lost, 110 airline passengers were asked to rate their emotional state (subjective feeling criterion). The agents who had processed the claims were asked to rate the passengers’ emotional state (objective behavior criterion) as well as their own feelings. An excerpt of the videotaped interaction for 40 passengers was rated for emotional state by judges on the basis of (a) verbal and nonverbal cues or (b) nonverbal cues only. As predicted, the data show that judges’ inferences in both exposure conditions correlate more strongly with the objective behavior (agent ratings) than the subjective feeling criterion (self-ratings). Using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), objectively coded “felt” (but not false) smiles correlated positively with a good humor scale in both criteria and judges’ ratings.
