Parallel and dual surfaces of cuspidal edges

We study parallel surfaces and dual surfaces of cuspidal edges. We give concrete forms of principal curvature and principal direction for cuspidal edges. Moreover, we define ridge points for cuspidal edges by using those. We clarify relations between singularities of parallel and dual surfaces and differential geometric properties of initial cuspidal edges.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure

A Content and Methodological Review of Articles Concerning Multiracial Issues in Six Major Counseling Journals

This study describes a comprehensive content and methodological review of articles about multiracial issues in 6 journals related to counseling up to the year 2006. The authors summarize findings about the 18 articles that emerged from this review of the Journal of Counseling Psychology, Journal of Counseling & Development, The Counseling Psychologist, Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology, and Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development. The authors specifically note trends in content and methodology as well as future directions for research

Heat Convection of Compressible Viscous Fluids. I.

The stationary problem for the heat convection of compressible fluid is considered around the equilibrium solution with the external forces in the horizontal strip domain z_0 < z < z_0 + 1 and it is proved that the solution exists uniformly with respect to z_0 larger than Z_0 . The limit system as z_0 goes to infinity is the Oberbeck-Boussinesq equation

Promoting Hope: Suggestions for School Counselors

School counselors need multiple resources to assist today\u27s students in developing to their fullest potential. This development might often be measured outwardly by academic success; however, psychological and emotional well-being of students is a large part of this success. The construct of hope is defined as a bidimensional characteristic consisting of an agency component (willpower to move toward one\u27s goals) and a pathways component (ability to develop multiple routes to one\u27s goals) and has been linked to academic success, athletic performance, psychological adjustment, and physical health in students (Snyder et al., 1991). Helping school counselors to enhance individual strengths through the promotion of characteristics such as hope may result in multiple benefits for students and their school environments at large. Studies involving hope and its correlates are discussed and suggestions for appropriate and feasible interventions in this area are given
