Shock Formation in a Multidimensional Viscoelastic Diffusive System

We examine a model for non-Fickian "sorption overshoot" behavior in diffusive polymer-penetrant systems. The equations of motion proposed by Cohen and White [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 51 (1991), pp. 472–483] are solved for two-dimensional problems using matched asymptotic expansions. The phenomenon of shock formation predicted by the model is examined and contrasted with similar behavior in classical reaction-diffusion systems. Mass uptake curves produced by the model are examined and shown to compare favorably with experimental observations

Counselor recall of specific details: implications for counseling and counselor training

Journal ArticleA question of considerable interest within the social influence model (Strong, 1968) has been "How can one increase the likelihood of being viewed by the client as a credible professional?" Many counselor characteristics have been studied to determine their effects on perceived credibility; however, the importance of the counselor's recall of details from the client's narrative has been largely, although not entirely, overlooked by researchers and clinicians

First Freedom: The Baptist Perspective on Religious Liberty

First Freedom is an important gathering of messages from a recent conference on religious liberty held at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Editor Jason B. Duesing explains: The purpose of this collection is, first, to provide an introductory look into the biblical and historical foundations of religious liberty combined with several instances of contemporary expression and defense for the purpose of instruction, edification, and encouragement to all who take the time to read this volume. Second, however, we wish to remind Baptists in the twenty-first century of the price that was paid by their forefathers for the establishment and defense of religious liberty. To be sure, there were people of various religious and denominational preferences that providence used to implement the religious freedoms now enjoyed by all, but for Baptists to overlook the contribution of their own would be a travesty.https://digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/faculty_books/1147/thumbnail.jp

Restoring Integrity in Baptist Churches

A compilation of articles seeking to answer the question, How does the local church - which is often influenced by a consumer-driven, numbers-oriented society - restore integrity and establish purpose? The articles written by Dr. White are the introduction, What Makes Baptism Valid? , and A Baptist\u27s Theology of the Lord\u27s Supper .https://digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/faculty_books/1149/thumbnail.jp

Upon This Rock: A Baptist Understanding of the Church

This book arose from the fourth consecutive Baptist Distinctives Conference held at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, during September 2008. Dr. White contributed two chapters: The Universal and Local Church and The Offices and Women: Can Women Be Pastors? Or Deacons? (co-written with his wife, Joy).https://digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/faculty_books/1151/thumbnail.jp

Seismic Performance Testing of Partially and Fully Anchored Wood-Frame Shear Walls

Earthquake performance of wood-frame shear walls was evaluated by comparing fully and partially anchored walls under monotonic, cyclic, and earthquake loads and comparing with code measures. Suitability of monotonic and cyclic testing to predict seismic performance was examined. Earthquake tests were conducted on 2440-mm-square walls with Douglas-fir studs. Two oriented strandboard panels were fastened to the frame with two gypsum wallboard panels on the opposite side. Partially anchored walls had two anchor bolts on the sill plate. Fully anchored walls had hold-downs at the ends. Four time histories were tested: three subduction zone ground motions and a strike-slip fault, all scaled to the Seattle design level. For fully anchored walls, subduction zone tests had capacities, energy dissipation, and failure modes most similar to cyclic tests. Wall displacement at maximum load was under-estimated by cyclic and overestimated by monotonic tests. For partially anchored walls, subduction zone and strike-slip earthquake tests had capacity, displacement at maximum load, initial stiffness, and ductility most similar to cyclic tests. Energy dissipation was most similar to monotonic tests, and failure modes were consistent with monotonic and cyclic tests. Partially anchored walls had lower capacity, displacement at maximum load, energy dissipation, and stiffness as compared with fully anchored walls

How primary care can contribute to good mental health in adults.

The need for support for good mental health is enormous. General support for good mental health is needed for 100% of the population, and at all stages of life, from early childhood to end of life. Focused support is needed for the 17.6% of adults who have a mental disorder at any time, including those who also have a mental health problem amongst the 30% who report having a long-term condition of some kind. All sectors of society and all parts of the NHS need to play their part. Primary care cannot do this on its own. This paper describes how primary care practitioners can help stimulate such a grand alliance for health, by operating at four different levels - as individual practitioners, as organisations, as geographic clusters of organisations and as policy-makers
