«Instead
of imagining an emergent theoretical description to model the
behavior of a nature -
given material and validating it indirectly, we engineer
materials of desired emergent properties that can be visualized directly.»
Weak, long - range interactions
give 2D solids some
of their most interesting
behaviors; therefore, understanding these interactions is crucial for further developing these
materials.
What's more, the approach they developed
gives scientists a completely new and direct way to study a wide range
of «emergent»
materials whose surprising properties emerge from the collective
behavior of fundamental particles, such as electrons.
She plays this
material with utter sincerity, which is a lot more effective than the movie's alternate strategy
of giving its actors monologues that explain how their insane
behavior has real emotional grounding.
The parenting
behaviors are assigned to nine subscales (with item examples in brackets): positive parental
behavior («I make time to listen to my child, when he / she wants to tell me something»), autonomy («I teach my child that he / she is responsible for his / her own
behavior»), rules («I teach my child to obey rules»), monitoring («I keep track
of the friends my child is seeing»), discipline («When my child has done something wrong, I punish him / her by taking away something nice [for instance, the child can't watch TV,...]»), harsh punishment («I slap my child when he / she has done something wrong»), ignoring unwanted
behavior («When my child does something that is not allowed, I only talk to him / her again when he / she behaves better»), inconsistent discipline («When I have punished my child, it happens that I let my child out
of the punishment early»), and
material rewarding («I
give my child money or a small present when he / she has done something that I am happy about»).
