Parent Skills Training: Expanding School-Based Services for Adolescent Mothers
This article reports the results of a collaborative intervention effort between a teen-parent program and a school of social work Social work faculty and students participated in a program aimed at strengthening parental skills and the utilization of social support among adolescent mothers who were enrolled in a special high school program. The results of this evaluation study point to additional factors, such as empathy training and stress management, which need to be included in a comprehensive service-delivery program for school-age mothers.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/68359/2/10.1177_104973159200200203.pd
On operad structures of moduli spaces and string theory
Recent algebraic structures of string theory, including homotopy Lie
algebras, gravity algebras and Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras, are deduced from
the topology of the moduli spaces of punctured Riemann spheres. The principal
reason for these structures to appear is as simple as the following. A
conformal field theory is an algebra over the operad of punctured Riemann
surfaces, this operad gives rise to certain standard operads governing the
three kinds of algebras, and that yields the structures of such algebras on the
(physical) state space naturally.Comment: 33 pages (An elaboration of minimal area metrics and new references

A comparison of the Siconolfi and Cole-Cole procedures for multifrequency impedance data analysis
The established Cole-Cole and newer Siconolfi methods for analysis of multifrequency impedance data were compared in a group of normal healthy individuals studied under bedside conditions. Impedance quotients derived from each procedure Here similarly well correlated with independent dilutional estimates of total body water. Although both methods estimated resistance at zero frequency, were highly correlated. and provided impedance quotients with very similar correlations with extracellular water, these estimates were significantly different and thus mag not be used interchangeably. The Siconolfi procedure demonstrated no significant advantage over the Cole-Cole method. In view of the sound theoretical basis for the latter, it is concluded that analysis of MFBIA data by the Cole-Cole method is to be preferred
