    First published online: 30 October 2015The aim of this study was to identify post-divorce coparenting profiles and examine whether these profiles differentiate between levels of parents’ well-being, parenting practices, and children’s psychological problems. Cluster analysis was conducted with Portuguese heterosexual divorced parents (N = 314) to yield distinct postdivorce coparenting patterns. Clusters were based on parents’ self-reported coparenting relationship assessed along four dimensions: agreement, exposure to conflict, undermining/support, and division of labor. A three cluster solution was found and replicated. Parents in the highconflict coparenting group exhibited significantly lower life satisfaction, as well as significantly higher divorce-related negative affect and inconsistent parenting than parents in undermining and cooperative coparenting clusters. The cooperative coparenting group reported higher levels of positive family functioning and lower externalizing and internalizing problems in their children. These results suggested that a positive coparenting alliance may be a protective factor for individual and family outcomes after parental divorce

    Structural Response of Extremely Large Telescopes

    This paper is concerned with the extrapolation of the dynamic response of the primary mirror of current 10-meter class telescopes to the next generation of 30 to 40 m extremely large telescopes and future, even larger, ones. A numerical study is conducted on a family of primary mirrors of increasing size, and the results are compared with analytical scaling laws derived earlier from a much simpler analysis. The correlation between the numerical and the analytical results is quite good and, to a large extent, independent of the boundary conditions. This confirms that the analytical scaling laws can be used in confidence to conduct parametric studies in the preliminary design phase of extremely large segmented mirrors. Copyright © 2010 by R.
