Soil clays of 11 horizon samples of Canadian soils gave activity ratios (AReK) of 0.0003 to 0.0040, exchangeable K values of 0.18 to 1.74 meq/100 g, nonexchangeable K values of 1.54 to 6.65 meq/100 g upon leaching with 12 liters of 0.1 N BaCl2 and of 0.45 to 4.03 meq as measured by plant removal, and degrees of K-fixation of 29 to 100% of added K against extraction with 1 N NH4OAc. The amounts of exchangeable K were correlated with the activity ratios and with the amounts of non-exchangeable K removed by plants. Of the fixed K, 46 to 86% was recovered by leaching with the 0.1 N BaCl2 and 18 to 64% by cropping. Some of the clays gave a satisfactory relationship between their K behaviour and mineralogy. Two of them (Ae, Humo-Ferric Podzol), consisting of mixtures of vermiculite and montmorillonite, released native K slowly and had a high capacity to fix added K. Another corresponding sample, from the C horizon and consisting of well-ordered 2 M1 muscovite, also released native K slowly but gave the lowest degree of K-fixation. A predominantly montmorillonite clay with some mica layers (Gray Luvisol) gave a high release of native K and fixed an intermediate amount of added K. The K–mineralogy relationship in the remaining samples was less apparent, and varied with the complexity of interstratification.

The Brabender Quadrumat Junior mill was investigated as a possible means of estimating the flour yield of small samples of wheat. When very hard, hard and soft wheats were milled at a constant moisture content (whether equilibrium or a higher, conditioned moisture content) on the Quadrumat Junior mill, the flour yields did not correlate with those from a Buhler experimental mill, because the hard and very hard varieties were over-estimated. A satisfactory relationship was obtained by milling the hard wheats at a moisture content one per cent higher than the soft wheats, and the very hard wheats two per cent higher than the soft wheats. All wheats could then be compared on a common basis. When seven soft wheat samples were milled on the Quadrumat Junior and six large experimental mills, the Quadrumat Junior estimated the flour yields as accurately as any of the large mills. This method appears to be suitable for selection in a wheat breeding programme to improve milling yield. Samples as small as 5 g can be used

A rapid and feasible method of HPTLC is standardized for quantification of anethole in essential oil’s extract and from herbal formulations of fennel seed. The developed densitometric HPTLC method was performed to estimate the existence of anethole in the essential oil, extract and herbal formulations of fennel with the optimized concentration of hexane: Ethyl acetate (8:2%, v/v, mobile phase) on glass coated silica gel 60 F254 plates (20 × 10 cm) scanned with the absorbance of λ260 nm under densitometric condition.  The Linearity of regressions revealed a satisfactory relationship between peak area and concentration of anethole in between the range of 100-600 ng/spot. This reliable method was validated as per the ICH guidelines to fulfill the necessary parameters such as accuracy and robustness. The amount of anethole in essential oil (0.098 ± 0.002%), extract (0.101 ± 0.004%) and three herbal formulations A (0.024 ± 0.004%), C (0.019 ± 0.002%) while anethole is not detected in B formulations from fennel seed was completely estimated by the developed method. The standardized methods and its validation gave new insights of HPTLC based detection and quantification of anethole in other aromatic plants as well as in other pharmacological formulations.

The EU has major economic and environmental powers, and is increasingly active in foreign policy, defence, and internal security. ‘How the EU is governed’ asks: how is this power used and controlled, and how is the EU governed? The system for governing the EU, with its complex mix of intergovernmental and federal elements, makes decision-making difficult and a satisfactory relationship between the institutions and the citizens hard to achieve. The EU has, however, been able to benefit from its growing democratic elements, such as the powers of the European Parliament, and that model is still likely to continue, along with the development of the EU as a whole.

Marriage is an appreciated worldwide institution, although nearly half of first marriages end in divorce. Thus, the relevance of understanding how people choose their partners and what features can predict a satisfactory relationship. More specifically, in search of data supporting similarity or complementarity approaches on marital satisfaction, the current study analyzes the association between different assortative mating options (homogamy, and heterogamy) and marital satisfaction in Spanish and Dominican couples. A stratified quota sampling of 600 participants was selected, corresponding to 300 married couples (50% Spanish and 50% Dominicans). Data were gathered by means of an interview with the 10-item scale on Marital Satisfaction and a 7-item scale on Status. Results suggest that spouses are matched by similarity in their health and education and by the perception of similarity in intelligence and the financial advantages of staying together. Dominican couples experienced higher marital satisfaction than Spanish couples. Findings on hypergamy reveals the persistence of some traditional roles’  distribution among Spanish speaking cultures. The association between status and marital satisfaction revealed that heterogamy rather than homogamy is associated to such satisfaction. These results stress the relevance of taking into account social and cultural differences, beyond biological and psychological factors, to fully understand couples’ satisfaction.

The study focuses on academically successful 17-year-old adolescents of Turkish and Moroccan background in the Netherlands. The parenting practices of their parents are examined along with the students'relationships with their parents. One hundred and six successful and less successful adolescents of Turkish, Moroccan and Dutch background participated in the study. The successful ethnic-minority students were expected to have a better relationship with their parents and to have less authoritarian parents than did less successful students. Indeed, the successful Turkish- and Moroccan-background students appeared to have less authoritarian parents than did the less successful. Nevertheless, the successful Turkish- and Moroccan- background students had a less satisfactory relationship with their parents, probably because their success widened the social distance between them and their parents more than was the case for the other groups.

WHEN I was a Dean of Students I became increasingly fascinated by the tremendous complexity and subtlety of the dynamics of student-parent relationships. I grew more and more convinced that the important forces at work between the participants were dominantly subjective and emotional, inhibiting mutual objective understanding. Above all I learned the extent of human oblivion to personal motivation in any such highly emotional situation. The parental tie is one of the strongest of all emotional ties. It is, however, one that should and must be broken, or at least rewoven in a looser mesh, if young people are to achieve independence and personality fulfilment. As a Dean, I most frequently saw parents when, regardless of the surface details of their immediate question, the true issue was the son's struggle to break one of the threads of the tie. This is not an unusual nor a new struggle; all of us have been aware of it in our own lives, but it has relatively unexplored aspects that I should like to examine in the hope of presenting a fresh viewpoint in a unified and perhaps illuminating way. The young person has the problem of growing away from his parent toward himself, the parent that of timing his permission for him to do so, that of determining the rate of thread cutting that will achieve a new and satisfactory relationship on a mutually mature basis. Most parents intellectually want their children to become separate individuals but emotionally and subconsciously they, in general, wish to hold them and control them.
