Do husbands and wives agree? Fertility attitudes and later behavior

Analysis of the extent to which husbands and wives agree in their attitudes toward a number of key issues that may affect fertility behavior shows that although aggregate views of men and women are remarkably similar, marital couples are frequently in disagreement, particularly if measures discounting for chance agreement of responses are employed. In other words, we cannot accept either the husband or the wife as a surrogate respondent. These conclusions are based on data from cross-sectional surveys in a developing society, Taiwan, of 2000 couples in which the wife was of childbearing age. The impact on fertility of such marital disagreement varies with the attitude in question. Followup birth data over a four-year period indicate that, when there is disagreement, it is the wife's attitude that has more influence on fertility, particularly if she has the stronger belief about the future security and status to be derived from a large family and from sons.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/43512/1/11111_2005_Article_BF01255801.pd

ESR Study of Cu(II)-L-Serine in Solution

ESR study of Cu(II)-L-Serine complex has been carried out in solution at room temperature. The isotropic spin-hamiltonian parameters go and a have been evaluated. Various linewidth parameters have been determined theoretically as well as from computer simulated experimental linewidth data. The experimental and theoretical linewidths differ slightly due to contribution of some unspecified mechanisms viz. spin-rotational relaxation and/or electric field fluctuation mechanisms

Study of ESR absorption and bonding character of copper (II) complex with L-Hydroxyproline

The ESR study of the copper (II) complex with L-Hydroxyproline amino acid has been carried out in three different forms, namely polycrystalline, glass and solution states. The optical absorption and magnetic susceptibility measurements have also been performed. Various magnetic and non-magnetic parameters have been evaluated. Further, these parameters have been used to determine the bonding parameters based on the theoretical deduction of Roberts and Koski. Hyperfine linewidth of each line has been measured and the data thus obtained have been interpreted on the basis of Kivelson's theory of linewidth in solution. The magnetic susceptibility of the complex has also been theoretically calculated. The data obtained from all the three measurements described above have been found to justify one and the other.L'étude par EPR du complexe de cuivre (II) et de l'amino acide L-Hydroxyproline a été réalisée sous différentes formes : polycristalline, verre en solution. Des mesures d'absorption optique et de susceptibilité magnétique ont été faites et divers paramètres magnétiques et non magnétiques en ont été déduits. Ils ont été utilisés pour déterminer les paramètres de liaison en se fondant sur les déductions théoriques de Roberts et Koski. La largeur hyperfine de chaque raie a été mesurée et les résultats ainsi obtenus ont été interprétés par la théorie de Kivelson sur les largeurs de raie en solution. La susceptibilité magnétique du complexe a ainsi été calculée théoriquement. Les résultats obtenus par les trois types de mesures décrits précédemment sont correctement corrélés

Addendum - Static magnetic susceptibility of 1.1 diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl recrystallized powders

The powder susceptibilities of crystalline stable free radical 1.1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl and its samples recrystallized from various solvents have been measured at room temperature. The value of static susceptibility has also been evaluated with the help of the data obtained from microchemical analysis of the sample as well as from ESR measurements. The discrepancies in the two values of the recrystallized samples have been interpreted on the basis of decrease in exchange interaction and the lone pair properties of the solvents used
