A series of fully bio-based poly(ester- alt -thioether)s are efficiently synthesized by organo-catalyzed alternating ring-opening copolymerizations eugenol-derived monomers, vanillin glycidyl ether and N -acetyl homocysteine thiolactone.

This study evaluated pet affinity as a buffer between ambivalence over emotional expression (AEE) and social support. AEE occurs when one desires to express emotions but is reluctant to do so and is related to negative psychological outcomes. Individuals high in AEE may have difficulty receiving social support and thus may not gain accompanying benefits. Social support has been associated with ...

An experiment was conducted to determine the true ileal digestibility (TID) and the true total tract digestibility (TTTD) of acid-hydrolyzed ether extract (AEE) in extracted corn oil, high-oil corn, distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), corn germ, and high protein distillers dried grains (HP DDG) and to compare these values to the TID and TTTD of AEE in full-fat soybeans. Nineteen barro...

In the title compound, C(19)H(18)O(5), the ester group is twisted with respect to the acetyl-salicylic acid and eugenol rings at dihedral angles of 22.48 (2) and 81.07 (1)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 60.72 (1)°. The crystal packing exhibits no significantly short inter-molecular contacts.

Recent literature has revealed the associations among ambivalence over emotional expression (AEE), pain, and depressive symptoms. However, few studies have examined factors explaining these associations. The goal of the study is to examine the potential mediating role of basic needs and pain catastrophizing. In an ethnically diverse undergraduate sample (N = 255), we found that AEE was positive...

This study investigates how ambivalence over emotional expressiveness (AEE) relates to various aspects of intimate relationships, including perception of the relationship, marital satisfaction, and dyadic closeness. Whereas most commonly AEE has been treated as an individual attribute, we suggest looking at a combined measure of the AEE of both spouses as a dyadic attribute. We examine the cont...
