This article presents a hypothetical counseling case that demonstrates the use of the process model of multicultural counseling competence. The counselor is an African American woman at a university counseling service, and the client is a young Chinese American woman and a sophomore at the university. First, we present an introduction to the case, giving a profile description of the client and counselor. Second, we unveil the counseling process through the model’s three phases, with demonstrations of the various features of the model. The unfolding format of the case captures the process nature of the model and dynamic interactions in the facilitation of therapeutic change. Selected excerpts illustrate counselor and client dialogue during the course of counseling, and examples of counselor multicultural counseling competencies highlight the prescriptive use of the process model. Third, we provide a reflection of the case, adding commentary on the application of the model.

The mental health professions need to reconceptualize multicultural counseling competence and innovate their models in order to provide better guidance to their professionals. To this end, we first redefine multicultural counseling competence with the goal of overcoming its pervasive definitional problems. We then propose the process model of multicultural counseling competence, which aims to rectify the limitations of the existing models. Our model integrates strengths of the three major models—skills-based, adaptation, and process-oriented—while also adding new components. Seven foundational principles undergird our complex and dynamic model. The model consists of three distinct phases: preparation, intake and in-sessions, and termination. In addition, the model consists of five clinical operations. The superordinate operation is deep-structure incorporation of culture. Subordinating to and rotating around this superordinate operation are: infusing preparation, developing a therapeutic alliance, adapting interventions, and evaluating process and outcome. Although these clinical operations interact dynamically at multiple levels within the model, the ultimate purpose is still the attainment of positive therapeutic outcomes.

Limited budgets and the desire to address patrons' immediate resource needs require libraries to consider an agile approach to collection building. To identify where typical purchases could be avoided in English subject areas, Texas A&M University Libraries piloted a purchase on demand (POD) solution for print and e-books. By providing patrons with options to make catalog selections and analyzing those decisions, a clearer understanding of subject resources needed was achieved. Findings were used to better align the approval plan's automated purchases with patrons' curricular and research needs, while realizing significant cost savings. The study fills a literature gap, and the approach can serve as a model for any discipline.

Abstract Heptamethine (Cy7) dyes with meso‐Cl substituents injected intravenously (iv) into mice accumulate in tumors and persist there over several days. We believe this occurs via meso‐Cl displacement by the only free cysteine residues of albumin; therefore, conjugating tumor‐seeking dyes with fragments can increase selective therapeutic delivery to tumors and drug residence. This strategy has elevated significance recently because the first tumor‐seeking dye‐drug conjugate has moved into clinical trials. Options for further clinical research include modifying the dye, and use of preformed albumin adducts instead of dyes alone. Herein we show correlations of cytotoxicities, lipophilicities, organelle localization, apoptosis, cell‐cycle arrest, wound healing/migration assays, and reactivities/affinities with human serum albumin are difficult to observe. However, our studies arrived at an important conclusion: preformed dye‐drug‐HSA adducts are less cytotoxic, and therefore preferable for subsequent clinical work, relative to direct injection of meso‐Cl‐containing forms.

In this rejoinder, the authors respond to the feedback and suggestions offered by Vandiver et al. (2021). We clarify that the intent of our Major Contribution is to rejuvenate the conversation regarding multicultural counseling competence, continue the quest to operationalize the construct, and propose the process model of multicultural counseling competence. In response to our colleagues’ reaction article, we organized this rejoinder into three sections: major points of agreement, major points of disagreement, and mixed points of view, before concluding again with our intention and remembering the importance of continuing the work.

We discuss the relation between questions regarding the essential normality of finitely generated essentially spherical isometries and some results and conjectures of Arveson and Guo—Wang on the closure of homogeneous ideals in the m-shift space. We establish general results for the case of two tuples and ideals with one dimensional zero variety. Further, we show how to reduce the analogous question for quasi-homogeneous ideals, to those results for homogeneous ones. Finally, we show that the essential reductivity of positive regular Hilbert modules is directly related to a generalization of the Arveson problem.

To accurately locate microearthquakes that are genetically related to hydraulic fracture stimulation, a thorough knowledge of the velocity structure between monitoring and fracturing treatment wells is essential. Very fast simulated annealing VFSA is implemented to invert for a flat-layered velocity model between wells using perforation or stringshot data.Atwo-point ray-tracing method is used to find the ray parameter p for a ray traveling from a source to a receiver. The original traveltime-calculation formula is modified to account for the borehole source-receiver geometry. VFSA is used as a tool to optimize P- and S-wave velocities simultaneously. Unlike previous applications of VFSA, two improvements result from a new study: 1 both P- and S-wave arrival-time misfits are considered in a joint-objective function, and 2 P- and S-wave velocities are perturbed simultaneously during annealing. The inverted velocities follow the true values closely with a very small root-mean-square error, indicating the inverted model is close to the global minimum solution whose rms error should be zero for synthetic examples. Data noise contaminates inverted models, but not substantially in synthetic test results.Acomparison of models inverted using VFSA and Occam’s inversion technique indicates that inverted models using VFSA are superior to those using Occam’s method in terms of velocity accuracy.

The phas promoter is potently transcribed during embryogenesis but in vegetative tissues it is completely silenced by a rotationally positioned nucleosome. Ectopic expression in leaves of PvALF, a seed-specific transcription factor belonging to the plant-exclusive B3 domain-containing VP1/ABI3 family, leads to chromatin remodeling of the phas promoter, permitting transcriptional activation by the growth regulator abscisic acid (ABA). Specific interaction with RY elements present in 40–42 bp oligonucleotide probes has been shown in vitro for Arabidopsis ABI3 and the isolated B3 domain of maize VP1. Here, both in vivo and in vitro approaches were used to show physical interaction of the B3 domain of VP1 or PvALF to RY elements in the native phas promoter. In electrophoretic mobility shift assays, small changes in B3 domain concentration differentiated between RY element-specific and sequence non-specific DNA binding. Increased affinity of the PvALF B3 domain to RY elements was observed in the presence of histones and other basic proteins, possibly reflecting the ability of this B3 factor to interact with the phas promoter in its nucleosomal configuration.

Abstract Within the framework of p-adaptive flux reconstruction, we aim to construct efficient polynomial multigrid (pMG) preconditioners for implicit time integration of the Navier–Stokes equations using Jacobian-free Newton–Krylov (JFNK) methods. We hypothesise that in pseudo transient continuation (PTC), as the residual drops, the frequency of error modes that dictates the convergence rate gets higher and higher. We apply nonlinear pMG solvers to stiff steady problems at low Mach number (Ma=10-3\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\textrm{Ma}=10^{-3}$$\end{document}) to verify our hypothesis. It is demonstrated that once the residual drops by a few orders of magnitude, improved smoothing on intermediate p-sublevels will not only maintain the stability of pMG at large time steps but also improve the convergence rate. For the unsteady Navier–Stokes equations, we elaborate how to construct nonlinear preconditioners using pseudo transient continuation for the matrix-free generalized minimal residual (GMRES) method used in explicit first stage, singly diagonally implicit Runge–Kutta (ESDIRK) methods, and linearly implicit Rosenbrock–Wanner (ROW) methods. Given that at each time step the initial guess in the nonlinear solver is not distant from the converged solution, we recommend a two-level p{p0-p0/2}\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$p\{p_0\text {-}p_0/2\} $$\end{document} or even p{p0-(p0-1)}\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ p\{p_0\text {-}(p_0-1)\} $$\end{document}p-hierarchy for optimal efficiency with a matrix-based smoother on the coarser level based on our hypothesis. It is demonstrated that insufficient smoothing on intermediate p-sublevels will deteriorate the performance of pMG preconditioner greatly. The nonlinear pMG preconditioner in this framework is found to be effective in reducing computational cost, as well as reducing the dimension of Krylov subspace for stiff systems arising from high-aspect-ratio elements and low Mach numbers. Specifically, the JFNK-pMG technique is demonstrated to be more than 5 times faster than pMG nonlinear solvers for unsteady problems. Compared to the EJ preconditioner, the pMG preconditioner can make ESDIRK and ROW methods up to 2 times faster for low-Mach-number flow and up to 1.5 times faster for highly anisotropic meshes. Moreover, the pMG preconditioner can reduce the dimension of Krylov subspace by one order of magnitude. With a pMG preconditioner, ROW methods are consistently more efficient than ESDIRK methods.
