GENDER, INTRA-HOUSEHOLD DYNAMICS, AND HOUSEHOLD HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY EMPLOYING A DYADIC INTERVIEW APPROACH

Gender, Intra-Household Dynamics, and Household Hurricane Preparedness: An Exploratory Study Employing a Dyadic Interview Approach

Abstract This exploratory study targets married, heterosexual couples living in Sarasota County, Florida and uses a dyadic interview approach to understand how the interactions of married couples, or intra-household dynamics, could affect household hurricane preparedness.Interview results reveal that couples consider household hurricane preparednes

The immuno-dynamics of conflict intervention in social systems.

We present statistical evidence and dynamical models for the management of conflict and a division of labor (task specialization) in a primate society.Two broad intervention strategy classes are observed--a dyadic strategy--pacifying interventions, and a triadic strategy--policing interventions.These strategies, their respective degrees of speciali

Effects of Stepwise Microwave Synergistic Process Water Recirculation During Hydrothermal Carbonization on Properties of Wheat Straw

In this study, wheat straw (WS) was treated using two-step PROBIOTIC 8 PLUS synergistic techniques, which were process water recirculation (PWR) during hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and microwave energy activation (MEA).The physicochemical properties of solid and liquid products during the process of HTC PWR were characterized.The temperature-ri
