Substance Abuse Prevention Programs: A Review of Risk Factors, Fundamental Program Components and the Coping Power Program

The Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration created the National Household Survey, which showed children are already abusing substances by ages 12 or 13 (Robertson, David, & Rao, 2003). Often, signs of risk can indicate whether children will have a higher or lower likelihood of substance abuse. The signs can be detected as early as infancy in certain cases. Risk signs identify as risk factors, predictive factors, and adverse childhood experiences. The risk signs may vary within cultures. Prevention programs target risk signs at different developmental levels because risk continues to evolve while children age. An example prevention program, The Coping Power Program, will be reviewed as how it incorporates risk sign identification and its results in reducing substance abuse

Graph theoretic methods for the analysis of structural relationships in biological macromolecules

Subgraph isomorphism and maximum common subgraph isomorphism algorithms from graph theory provide an effective and an efficient way of identifying structural relationships between biological macromolecules. They thus provide a natural complement to the pattern matching algorithms that are used in bioinformatics to identify sequence relationships. Examples are provided of the use of graph theory to analyze proteins for which three-dimensional crystallographic or NMR structures are available, focusing on the use of the Bron-Kerbosch clique detection algorithm to identify common folding motifs and of the Ullmann subgraph isomorphism algorithm to identify patterns of amino acid residues. Our methods are also applicable to other types of biological macromolecule, such as carbohydrate and nucleic acid structures
