We use difference-indifference methods and data from the 2008 Survey of Income and Program Participation to test whether the ACA dependent care provision is associated with family structure and public program participation among young adults. Findings indicate that implementation of the provision is associated with 10 and 15 percent reductions in the likelihoods of being married and cohabitating, respectively, and a 6 percent increase in the likelihood of being single. The provision is associated with a 12 percent reduction in being a single parent, as well as reductions in young adults' participation in SNAP, TANF and WIC. JEL-Codes: I110.
To measure the EM environment parameters of a transmission line in bad weather conditions (such as rain, wind,etc) is difficult for technical staff. In the National Engineering Laboratory for UHV Technology (Kunming), a test line has been completed for EM enviroment tests. An automotive EM environment testing system was installed under the line, and the radio interference (Rl), audible noise (AN), resultant electric field (Es) and ion current density (Js) at ground level were measured at all weather conditons with the voltage from ± 800k V to ± 1 OOOk V over two years. Based on the measurement results, this paper has studied the influence of meteorological parameters on the EM enviroment of the transmisison line.
The catalytic reduction of renewable furfural into furfuryl alcohol for various applications is in the ascendant. Nonetheless, the conventional chemo-catalysis hydrogenation of furfural always suffers from poor selectivity, harsh conditions, and expensive catalysts. Herein, to overcome the serious technical barriers of conventional furfuryl alcohol production, an alternative bio-electrocatalytic hydrogenation system was established under mild and neutral conditions, where the dissolved cofactor (NADH) and the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) participated in a tandem reaction driven by the electron from a novel Rh (III) complex fixed cathode. Under the optimized conditions, 81.5% of furfural alcohol selectivity can be realized at −0.43 V vs. RHE. This contribution presents a ‘green’ and promising route for the valorization of furfural and other biomass compounds.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
