Social Class, Significant Other Supports and Academic Performance

In this paper, the specific focus will be that of predicting educational performance within a college population, using a model which summarizes available significant other supports for educational achievement. The model tested in this paper considers the effects of socioeconomic background and the significant other support structure on educational performance. It is proposed that the significant other support structure is a variable affected by social class background as well as mediating its effects

Thermodynamics and kinetics of proton-coupled electron transfer: stepwise vs. concerted pathways

AbstractReactions that involve transfer of an electron and a proton can proceed by stepwise pathways involving initial electron transfer (ET) or initial proton transfer (PT), or by a concerted pathway without an intermediate. The concerted mechanism is termed proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). Understanding such reactions requires knowledge of the thermodynamics of the possible ET, PT, and PCET steps. Many reactions have a large thermochemical bias favoring the PCET pathway. This bias is often sufficient to rule out stepwise mechanisms. The ΔG° for ET, PT, or PCET has a strong influence on the rate of that step. Using the terminology of Marcus theory, PT and PCET reactions at CH bonds have higher intrinsic barriers than such reactions at OH or NH bonds. The intrinsic barriers to ET and PCET are often similar when there is a small intrinsic barrier to PT. Reactions with a thermochemical bias toward PCET and with similar intrinsic barriers for all the pathways are most likely to occur by concerted PCET
