We propose a new energy-based method for real-time dissolution simulation. A unified particle representation is used for both fluid solvent and solid solute. We derive a novel dissolution model from the collision theory in chemical reactions: physical laws govern the local excitation of solid particles based on the relative motion of the fluid and solid. When the local excitation energy exceeds...

The aim of this article is to analyse the risk factors for marriage dissolution in Spain and their variations over time for women married between 1949 and 2006. The data are drawn from the Survey of Fertility, Family, and Values of 2006. The article analyses the transition from first marriage to marital dissolution for couples who married in two eras: the period prior to the enactment of the Di...

The purpose of this research was to examine the immediate effects of engaging in predominantly positively or predominantly negatively valenced thinking about one’s most recent romantic ex-relationship and assess whether these effects are unique from thinking about memories from a non-romantic relationship. The application of self-regulation theory within the context of rumination and romantic r...

To quantify the relationships between buffering properties and acid erosion and hence improve models of erosive potential of acidic drinks, a pH-stat was used to measure the rate of enamel dissolution in solutions of citric, malic and lactic acids, with pH 2.4-3.6 and with acid concentrations adjusted to give buffer capacities (β) of 2-40 (mmol·l(-1))·pH(-1) for each pH. The corresponding undis...

This study evaluated the impact of a relationship education program, delivered as part of a college course, among students (N = 152) who reported experiencing psychological aggression in their exclusive dating relationship. Preliminary results showed that compared to those in the control group, participants receiving relationship education were significantly more likely to end their romantic re...

A sample of committed gay and lesbian cohabiting couples engaged in two conversations after being apart for at least 8 hours: (a) an events of the day conversation and (b) a conflict resolution conversation. Physiological data were collected during the conversations and a videotape record was made. Couples viewed the videotapes and rated their affect during the interaction. The video records we...

This study researches the associations between having an abortion, relationship satisfaction, and union dissolution. Empirical evidence on this topic is scarce, there a pronounced lack of studies analysing longitudinal data: Most previous have used data from women recruited abortion clinics who are about to undergo therefore do not incorporate prospective measure satisfaction pre-pregnancy. Pan...
