The effect of the spin-spin interaction is noted in Hund's rule 1. If you have two electrons, then the state in which their spins are parallel(S=1, triple state) will be lower in energy than the state in which their spins are antiparallel(S=O, singlet state).

[...] il existe une complication intéressante dont nous n'avons pas encore parlé : à côté de l'interaction spin-orbite existe en effet une interaction spin-spin [...]. L'interaction spin-spin fait que l'orthopositronium est un peu moins lié que le parapositronium.

The Equity Approach. Equity is the original "WID" [women in development] approach, introduced within the 1976-85 UN [United Nations] Women's Decade. Its purpose is to gain equity for women in the development process. Women are seen as active participants in development. It recognizes women's triple role and seeks to meet strategic gender needs through direct state intervention, giving political and economic autonomy to women, and reducing inequality with men. It challenges women's subordinate position, has been criticized as Western feminism, is considered threatening and is unpopular with governments.

  • Chemistry
DEF

Of a chemical compound, the state in which not all the available valence bonds along the alkyl chain are satisfied; in such compounds the extra bonds usually form double or triple bonds(chiefly with carbon). Thus unsaturated compounds are more reactive than saturated compounds, as other elements readily add to the unsaturated linkage. An unsaturated compound... has fewer hydrogen atoms or equivalent groups than the corresponding saturated compound....
