Adolescent Relationships and Drug Use explores the communicative and relational features of adolescent drug use. It focuses on peer norms, risk, and protective factors and considers how drugs are offered to adolescents, examining such factors as who makes the offers and how they are resisted, where the offers take place, and what relationship exists between the persons making the offers and the persons receiving them. Unlike other studies of drug resistance, this work examines the communication processes that affect adolescents’ ability to effectively resist drug offers. Michelle Miller

Based on the proceedings of the first conference on superconvergence held recently at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, this unique resource presents reviewed papers focusing on superconvergence phenomena in the finite element method. Keeping abreast of this rapidly developing field of research, Finite Element Methods surveys for the first time all known superconvergence techniques, including their proofs considers superconvergence phenomena observed on meshes that are locally symmetric with respect to one point, quasiuniform, locally periodic, and self-similar discusses techniqu

The position taken in this collection of pedagocically written essays is that conjugate gradient algorithms and finite element methods complement each other extremely well. The  aim of this book is to present both methods in the context of complicated problems modeled by linear and nonlinear partial differential equation, to provide an in-depth discussion on their implementation aspects. The authors show that conjugate gradient methods and finite element methods apply to the solution of real-life problems. They address graduate students as well as experts in scientific computing.

tevenson’s famous exploration of humanity’s basest capacity for evil, "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," has become synonymous with the idea of a split personality. More than a morality tale, this dark psychological fantasy is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution, criminality, and secret lives. Also in this volume are "The Body Snatcher," which charts the murky underside of Victorian medical practice, and "Olalla," a tale of vampirism and "the beast within," with a beautiful woman at its center.

Ukrainian language study changed dramatically when Ukraine became an independent state in 1991. In the period since then, the Ukrainian nation has initiated a robust re-examination of its language and fostered the spread of Ukrainian-language heritage learners who previously made up the bulk of students in Ukrainian-language courses. These new students are interested in professional opportunities in Ukraine or Ukrainian studies; many have been exposed to Russian. "Rozmovliaimo!" is the first textbook to fully embrace the new realities of the Ukrainian landscape and to incorporate the latest ad
