The present study empirically examined previously inconsistent findings between Aldwin (Aldwin, C. M., 1994. Stress, coping, and development. New York, NY: The Guilford Press) and Slavin, Rainer, McCreary, and Gowda’s (Slavin, L. A., Rainer, K. L., McCreary, M. L., & Gowda, K. K., 1991. Toward a multicultural model of the stress process. Journal of Counseling & Development, 70, 156–163) models ...

This paper studies the effect of income rank on satisfaction. We hypothesize that a person’s satisfaction depends on a comparison of own rank and rank of one’s parents. Estimates using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel support the relative rank hypothesis.

Air curtain is a widely used heat insulation equipment in the market, which reduces exchange efficiency of both sides by air surface formed jet. In order to reduce use electric heating device curtain, new designed coupling experiment source pump and heating. The fan preheated condenser pump, so as dependence on parts, save energy consumption.

Fine particulate matter is classified as a first-class carcinogen and receiving global attention. In particular, (PM2.5, PM10) are more fatal in students at growing age while their respiratory system develops than ordinary adults. During school hours, the main entrance often left open for convenience of staff. this situation, inflow PM2.5 through increases significantly. Thus, air curtains wide...

The new direction taken by the Common Agricultural Policy towards rural development, originating in the year 1992, was strengthened in the Agenda 2000 and re-intensified with the CAP reform 2003. Austrian agriculture followed this track very early and intensively, explainable because of the natural conditions and agricultural structures. Here Austria differs considerably from other Iron Curtain...

In this paper, we focus on the late time turbulence of an accelerated inhomogeneous flow environment, a generalization of Richtmyer-Meshkov environment. The numerical investigation is based on two-dimensional (2D) compressible Euler simulation, which is initiated by a shock wave hitting a gas layer (curtain). We observe excellent agreements with the previous decay analysis on 2D viscous isotrop...

AIMS To evaluate the microbiological efficacy of a down-draught necropsy table ventilation system (which surrounds the cadaver with a "curtain" of air under continuous extraction) during post mortem procedures. METHODS Air sampling was carried out both in the presence and absence of staff and cadaver and during a full post mortem procedure, with functioning and non-functioning table air extra...

The culturable bacterial diversity from Iron Curtain Cave, Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada was examined. Sixty five bacterial isolates were successfully cultivated, purified, and identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Four distinguishable phyla, i.e., Actinobacteria (44.61%), Proteobacteria (27.69%), Firmicutes (20%) and Bacteroidetes (7.69%) were identified. Arthrobacter (21.53%) w...
