Confidants and Caregivers: Network Multiplexity and Subjective Well-Being of Older Adults.

Objectives: Older adults rely on personal networks for different types of support. Given shifts in family composition in later adulthood, more work is needed to map network members who can provide multiple aspects of support and the implications for older adults. We explore the phenomenon of having the same network members as both a confidant and a caregiver (multiplexity) and its implications for the well-being of older adults.

Geographic Relocation in Response to Parents' Health Shocks: Who Moves and How Close?

Objective: This article examines how parent-child geographic proximity changes around the onset of parental health shocks in the United States. Differences in the likelihood of moving closer across social groups are also investigated.

Background: Adult children often care for older parents with health problems, but this requires relatively close proximity.

An amphiphilic macrocyclic acylhydrazone dimer: Facile synthesis and dual channel detection and removal of phthalate anion.

Despite the large number of dicarboxylates' receptors, the dual channel ones capable of recognizing and removing of phthalate anion are rare and the task remains challenging. In this paper, a facilely synthesized amphiphilic macrocyclic acylhydrazone dimer (AMAD) can not only detect phthalate anion selectively, through both color changes and turn-on fluorescence in solution as well as in solid state, but is also able to remove it from either water or organic solvents. The current study paves the way for the search of more multiple functional receptors of dicarboxylates anions.
