Both are concerned with minimizing required resources/costs. The differences are identified which must be recognized in order to achieve the objectives of the maintainability engineering program and the interchange of data between the two analyses, which is conducive to reduce program costs.

The decomposition reaction was found to be exothermic and produced a mass loss of 65 percent. The gas evolution curves that were obtained indicate that a variety of organic materials are evolved simultaneously during the decomposition of the rubber polymer.

Samples of women in treatment for substance use disorders (n = 225) and receiving services for domestic violence (n = 222) volunteered to be in the study. We used the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales to assess retrospectively experiences of parental aggression during childhood and the Composite International Diagnostic Interview for a diagnosis of alcohol dependence based on International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) criteria. Logistic regression applied to the data showed that being in the substance use disorder treatment sample, being unemployed and not being black were significantly related to a higher likelihood of lifetime diagnosis of alcohol dependence. Mother psychological aggression was found to be significantly associated with alcohol dependence. Father psychological aggression was found to be significantly related to alcohol dependence for nonwhite women but not for white women. Mother and father physical abuse were both found to be significantly related to alcohol dependence, but only for women who did not report childhood sexual abuse. Associations between experiences of childhood abuse and development of alcohol problems for women are complex. Experiences of mother and father abuse need to be examined separately with samples of women who are of different ethnicities and samples of women who are receiving services for different problems.

(1991) forgiveness intervention model for familv psychotherapists to use with parent survivors of adolescent suicide. This model consists of 17 units designed to increase survivors' awareness of the injury due to their child's suicide, cope with the injury, and heal the injury. Preliminary studies on this intervention model reported psychological gains including increased self-esteem, lower anger, higher hope, and less depression, anxiety, and guilt compared with control subjects among parentally love-deprived adolescents, incest victims, and neglected older adults. Based on this earlier research, the forgiveness model is modified and proposed for use by psychotherapists. Results reported by psychotherapists combined with those collected from preliminary studies can be developed into a theory-based intervention with victims of trauma.
