The purpose of the present study was to examine relations among multiple child and family protective factors, neighborhood disadvantage, and positive social adjustment in a sample of 226 urban, low SES boys followed from infancy to early adolescence. The results indicated that child IQ, nurturant parenting, and parent-child relationship quality, measured in early childhood, were all significant...

The current study examined the impact of exposure to violence and neighborhood disadvantage on criminal recidivism among Black (n = 69) and White (n = 53) female juvenile offenders. Participants were girls between the ages of 13 and 19 (M = 16.8; SD = 1.2) who were sentenced to secure custody. Using a multi-method research design, the study assessed neighborhood disadvantage through census leve...

Researchers have yet to examine the impact of neighborhood disadvantage on early child behavior problems (BPs) longitudinally. We examined the impact of neighborhood disadvantage on overt BPs in a low-income, urban sample of 281 African American and European American boys followed longitudinally from toddlerhood to school entry. Measures included census data and maternal report of BPs, sociocul...

High Potency Protease is a concentrated source of protease enzymes, which have been shown to improve protein digestion, reduce inflammation and speed the healing of wounds, inhibit the formation of blood clots, protect against intestinal parasitic infection and the overgrowth of yeast, and support immune function. High Potency Protease also contains bentonite, a concentrated source of minerals ...

In recent years, the use of solar energy has become an alternative source of energy of great importance. Several researches and efforts have been concentrated on the improvement of the efficiency of photovoltaic systems and in the accessibility to this technology. In this sense, this work presents a buck converter controlled by P&O technique for the maximum power point tracking of the photovolt...

We discuss the spatial properties of quantum radiation emitted by a multipole transition in a single atom. The qualitative difference between the representations of plane and spherical waves of photons is examined. In particular, the spatial inhomogeneity of the zero-point oscillations of multipole field is shown. We show that the vacuum noise of polarization is concentrated in a certain vicini...

Non-point source pollution is an important of ecological risk in karst lakes. The process source–sink landscapes the main pathway migration and plays role water quality. In this study, evolution past 30 years was studied a lake watershed with 495 sub-basins as basic evaluation unit, assessment model non-point improved by using rainfall fertilizer application. results show that (1) area cultivat...
