7Be and 210Pb total deposition fluxes at New Haven, Connecticut and at Bermuda.

The 210Pb flux has remained virtually constant at New Haven from 1973 to 1978, the flux in the 1977-1978 period being 1.2 dpm/cm2/y. The 210Pb flux at Bermuda is 0.69 dpm/cm2/y. This lower flux than expected from model calculations is due to the establishment of a blocking high pressure cell during the summer which deflects continental air. The 7Be fluxes at New Haven and Bermuda are 22.7 and 17.1 dpm/cm2/y, values consistent with western North Atlantic oceanic standing crop measurements, but higher than some other estimates

Cultural differences in intimacy: The influence of gender-role ideology and individualism-collectivism

Two studies examined emotional intimacy in European Canadian and Chinese Canadian dating relationships. Cultural differences in gender-role ideology and individualism–collectivism were hypothesized to differentially contribute to selfdisclosure and responsiveness, and in turn, intimacy. Study 1 revealed that Chinese Canadians’ lower intimacy relative to European Canadians was mediated by their greater gender-role traditionalism but not by their individualism or collectivism. Study 2 further linked greater gender-role traditionalism to lower self-disclosure, and in turn, lower intimacy. Results also revealed that Chinese Canadians’ lower intimacy mediated their lower relationship satisfaction and higher rate of relationship termination in Study 1, but that Chinese Canadians were not any more likely to terminate their relationships in Study 2

Photoelectron and threshold photoelectron valence spectra of pyridine

The pyridine molecule has been examined by the means of photoelectron and threshold photoelectron spectroscopies. Ionization energies were determined for both outer and inner valence orbitals and new adiabatic values were also resolved. Vibronic structure associated with several states was assigned mainly to be due to C-C stretches and ring bends. Additionally a Rydberg state converging to 7b2 state was ascribed. The data shown here are in a good agreement with previous results and brings some new insights into the electronic structure of this biologically and astrochemically relevant and important molecule
