Harmed Trait Self-Control: Why Do People with a Higher Dispositional Malicious Envy Experience Lower Subjective Wellbeing? A Cross-Sectional Study by Briki W.

“…Therefore, the present study is the first to examine the interrelationships between dispositional benign and malicious envy, trait self-control, demographics (i.e., sex and age) and subjective wellbeing. Four hundred six people (234 females and 172 males; M age=32.07, SD age=10.98, from 18 to 71 years old) took part voluntarily in the study and answered questions related to demographics, dispositional envy, trait self-control, and subjective wellbeing. …”

Magneto-Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Nd-Fe-B-Epoxy-Bonded Composite Materials by Grujić, Aleksandar

“…This examination of synthesized Nd-Fe-B-epoxy composite materials includes the mutual comparison of impact toughness, fatigue, and the structural, thermal, dynamic-mechanical, and magnetic behavior of materials with different content of magnetic Nd-Fe-B particles, in a wide range from 5 to 95 wt.%. This paper tests the influence of the Nd-Fe-B content on impacting the toughness of the composite material, as this relationship has not been tested before. …”
