The preparation of pastors in premarital counseling
… the primary providers of premarital counseling (PMC). Over the past 50 years, limited research has been focused on the preparation needs of pastors in PMC. When asked, they claimed to feel inadequate as PMC providers. They cited inadequate seminary education as the reason (Babb, 1992; Buikema, …

Gene regulatory networks controlling an epithelial-mesenchymal transition
… micromere-derived primary mesenchyme cells (PMCs) undergo an EMT process to ingress into the blastocoel, and these cells later become the larval skeleton. Much has been learned about PMC specification in sea urchin embryos. However, much less is known about how states of the sequentially …

Beliefs, Practices, and Training in Marriage Preparation: A Comparison Between Members of the Association of Mormon Counselors and Psychotherapists (AMCAP) and Select Protestant Clergy
… practices and training in premarital counseling (PMC). This study was a replication of a previous study of 226 clergy premarital counselors from four Protestant denominations by Jones, E.F., & Stahmann, R.F. (1994). The results of this study were compared with the results of the Jones & Stahmann …

Investigating the relationship between perceived motor competence and actual motor competence in adolescent youth
… inordinate levels of perceived motor competence (PMC) relative to their low level of actual ability. Evaluating the role of the school community (i.e. physical education class and other classroom settings) in the development of AMC and realistic self-perceptions is key, as they form essential …

Understanding Uncertainties for Polar Mesospheric Cloud Retrievals and Initial Gravity Wave Observations in the Stratopause from the Cloud Imaging and Particle Size Instrument
… scattered from Polar Mesospheric Clouds (PMC) which occur in the summer mesosphere at 83 km. The goal of the CIPS instrument is to retrieve high horizontal resolution maps of PMC albedo and the mode radius of the particle size distribution. The first manuscript analyzes the uncertainties …

Thermal regulation of vascularized fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites
Fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites (PMC) possess outstanding structural properties, including high strength and stiffness, low weight, long fatigue life, and excellent manufacturability of complex geometries. However, their application is still limited where high temperature service is …

Planetary Wave Activity Observed in Polar Mesospheric Clouds
… UV spectrometer (SBUV) Polar Mesospheric Cloud (PMC) dataset was investigated for planetary wave activity following the earlier study by <em>Merkel </em>[2002]. To counter the sparse nature of the data, four separate methods of analysis are used in determining if planetary waves are present and …

Magnetic polyamide 6 nanocomposites for increasing damage tolerance through self-healing of composite structures.
… the properties of magnetic PA6 nanocomposites (PMC) to help achieve a generic set of principles for designing the desired materials for stimuli-induced self-healing of GFRP composites. The method used to achieve this involved firstly undertaking anionic ring-opening in-situ polymerisation of PMC …
