As surprising as it may be to parents, young people today are immersed in porn culture everywhere they look. Through Internet porn, gaming, social media, marketing, and advertising, kids today have a much broader view of social and sexual possibilities, which makes it difficult for them to establish appropriate expectations or to feel adequate in their own sexuality. Even more important, no one is talking to kids directly about the problem. In her comic and straightforward style, Pierce brings together the latest research with anecdotal stories shared with her by high school and college students in the thick of it. Above all else, her goal is to get people to develop more comfort around those difficult conversations so that kids gain more confidence and courage about drawing boundaries based on their own values not those put upon them.

Argues that the focus on the measurement of educational outcomes has displaced questions about educational purpose.

Explores sex differences in how men and women communicate, set within the context of sex similarities. This book examines how sex differences and similarities can be seen in various verbal and nonverbal communicative behaviours across contexts. It is of interest to readers in communication, social psychology, relationships, and related fields.

Are there better ways to address community challenges than expending funds on international service-learning?In attempting to wed learning and service, are we are exploiting the "other" for new, or recycled, aims?As these questions attest, of all types of service-learning, international service-learning (ISL) most starkly illuminates the tensions between the liberatory and oppressive potentials of practice.This book explores the ramifications of realizing a new age of service-learning that pushes beyond single episodic course-based projects to rebalance student learning and community outcome priorities, and provides insight into what it looks like in its execution. In describing eleven international programs designed to achieve reciprocal, sustained relationships in which learning is co-created, the contributors reveal their struggles to change the balance of power relationships and move to a more transformative practice. Common themes are the developmental nature of this work; the recognition that it takes multiple attempts, often over years, for an individual or an institution to get this work even nearly right; that resolving the challenges of unequal resources, power, and privilege can never be completely erased; and that attention has to be given to the micro-level details.What emerge are seven guiding principles that define the nature of partnerships in liberatory practice, and that apply to all forms of service learning. They must be: strategic--linked to the mission and expertise of the institution; long-term; multifaceted--allowing both partners to play a multiplicity of roles; developmental in building capacities; contextualized in historic and cultural understanding; fully reciprocal; and create the potential for community-driven change.In addressing the problematic nature of ISL, and of service-learning in general, this book interrogates whether its experiences create the necessary conditions for the formation of individual values, convictions, and action; and whether their pivotal teaching and learning moments are indeed replicable and transferable across individual, institutional and even cultural contexts. Its conclusions and insights will be of intense interest to administrators and practitioners alike.

This book presents the implications of the genomic revolution for conifers, which go all the way from a better understanding of the evolution of these organisms to new knowledge about the molecular basis of quantitative trait variation, both playing important roles in their domestication. Internationally reputed researchers in this field have contributed to this book, reviewing the genetics, genomics and breeding of conifers.

Cytokines are a group of peptides secreted by cells of the immune system such as macrophages, lymphocytes, and T cells. They can be divided into functional families and have-wide ranging impacts that affect cells and molecular pathways to the whole individual. Written by distinguished scholars and experts, this book is a holistic reference to enable scientists and doctors to understand cytokines in specific or broad detail. The book is divided into sections that cover general and cellular aspects, lifestyle factors, immunology and infections, cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic disease, and organs and tissue systems.

In his book Conferring: The Keystone of Reader¿s Workshop, Allen argues that the benefits of conferring outweigh the challenges and that teachers must put forth the effort of learning how to do it well.

RC4 Stream Cipher and Its Variants is the first book to fully cover the popular software stream cipher RC4. With extensive expertise in stream cipher cryptanalysis and RC4 research, the authors focus on the analysis and design issues of RC4. They also explore variants of RC4 and the eSTREAM finalist HC-128. The text introduces basic concepts, such as private/public key cryptosystems and block/stream ciphers, before covering advanced material. It includes open research problems in each chapter and offers a comprehensive bibliography of RC4 literature.

Based on the authors¿ extensive work in this field, this book explores the use of bifurcation theory to analyze the static and dynamic behavior of the chemostat. It presents a systematic, simple, and unified mathematical framework using singularity theory and bifurcation techniques. The authors cover a variety of case studies ranging from simple microbial growth to dynamics of interacting species to dynamics with product formation. They also address the connections between the design and control of the chemostat within the framework of singularity theory.

Useful in the glycosciences, this book presents reliable protocols for the preparation of synthetic carbohydrates. Featuring worldwide contributors and a well-known series editor, the text presents new or older, not easy to find protocols generally useful to those interested in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Having an independent checker verify the experimental portion of the text to ensure reproducibility, the Proven Synthetic Method Series brings state-of-the-art of synthetic carbohydrate chemistry at par with general organic synthesis. Methods presented include more detailed versions of protocols that have been previously published and some new methods for the synthesis of a variety of carbohydrate derivatives.

Spanning static fields to terahertz waves, this volume explores the range of consequences electromagnetic fields have on the human body. Topics discussed include essential interactions and field coupling phenomena; electric field interactions in cells, focusing on ultrashort, pulsed high-intensity fields; dosimetry or coupling of ELF fields into biological systems; and the historical developments and recent trends in numerical dosimetry. It also discusses mobile communication devices and the dosimetry of RF radiation into the human body, exposure and dosimetry associated with MRI and spectroscopy, and available data on the interaction of terahertz radiation with biological tissues, cells, organelles, and molecules.
