PROBLEM This paper argues that it is necessary to strengthen Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) community-based participatory research (CBPR) models that integrate a health policy agenda through dynamic legislative partnerships. PURPOSE We utilize a case study approach and examine three health research partnership models that impact legislative design and acti...

with Aa having at most polynomial growth, by applying a general theorem concerning nonlinear functional equations in reflexive Banach spaces. Our result in [ l] extended and generalized results announced earlier by M. I. Visik [6; 7; 8] and obtained by more concrete analytic arguments. Visik's detailed account of his results which has just appeared in [9] has one feature which goes beyond the f...

In the 1950s, researchers in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan began treating alcoholics with d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and achieved significant rates of recovery. Psychiatrists, including Humphry Osmond who coined the term ‘psychedelic’ while working in Saskatchewan, believed that the successful treatment of alcoholism with biochemical means would scientifically prove that the con...

It all started when a drunken man dialled a wrong number and talked to another alcoholic by mistake. Today, Alcoholics Anonymous is probably one of the most successful self-help organisations in existence. It has the minimum of dogma, but that dogma, is unshakable.

This paper describes an architecture and protocol for making anonymous mobile conference calls. A number of examples exist where multiple users may wish to communicate in an anonymous manner, such as anonymous virtual support groups (e.g Alcoholics Anonymous). Anonymous group identification schemes coupled with the novel idea of Virtual Numbers, allows for identification to a conference call fa...
