The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) conducts background investigations for federal personnel. It collects criminal history record information (CHRI) from federal and state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) law enforcement and criminal justice agencies that may be unaware of DCSA's role, responsibilities, and authorities. This report presents research and materials to promote more effective and efficient CHRI sharing.

An introduction to state-of-the-art modeling and simulation approaches for social and economic determinants of population health New Horizons in Modeling and Simulation for Social Epidemiology and Public Health offers a comprehensive introduction to modeling and simulation that addresses the many complex research questions in social epidemiology and public health. This book highlights a variety of practical applications and illustrative examples with a focus on modeling and simulation approaches for the social and economic determinants of population health. The book contains classic case examples in agent-based modeling (ABM) as well as essential information on ABM applications to public health including for infectious disease modeling, obesity, and tobacco control. This book also surveys applications of microsimulation (MSM) including of tax-benefit policies to project impacts of the social determinants of health. Specifically, this book: Provides an overview of the social determinants of health and the public health significance of addressing the social determinants of healthGives a conceptual foundation for the application of ABM and MSM to study the social determinants of healthOffers methodological introductions to both ABM and MSM approaches with illustrative examplesIncludes cutting-edge systematic reviews of empirical applications of ABM and MSM in the social sciences, social epidemiology, and public healthDiscusses future directions for empirical research using ABM and MSM, including integrating aspects of both ABM and MSM and implications for public health policies Written for a broad audience of policy analysts, public planners, and researchers and practitioners in public health and public policy including social epidemiologists, New Horizons in Modeling and Simulation for Social Epidemiology and Public Health offers a fundamental guide to the social determinants of health and state-of-the-art applications of ABM and MSM to studying the social and economic determinants of population health.

Rest in Mesopotamian and Israelite Literature studies the concept of rest in the Hebrew Bible and ancient Near Eastern literature. Through close examination of Mesopotamian texts and selections from the Deuteronomistic History and Chronicles, Kim delineates a concept of rest for each body of literature, and employs a comparative approach to illuminate the rest motif in the Hebrew Bible in light of Mesopotamian literature.

This is a mathematics textbook that covers mostly precalculus topics with some introductory calculus, as well as more advanced topics that are often not covered by a standard high school curriculum. A chapter proceeds by first establishing some central definitions and then further mathematical consequences, gradually developing the topic from scratch in the process. Unlike many other textbooks in precalculus, this book places emphasis on the art of mathematical proof, with an abundant supply of theorems, lemmas, and other problems that require such proofs. Detailed solutions and proofs are supplied as well. The main purpose is to aid readers who wish to learn precalculus and advanced supplemental topics through a more theoretical and abstract perspective and challenge their mathematical critical thinking skills rather than solve simple computational problems. The book is intended to develop the reader's conceptual understanding of the subject, as well as harness their curiosity in exploring such advanced topics. Furthermore, the book can be used as a supplementary text for students currently taking a precalculus or similar level math class who wish to learn more and go beyond the standard precalculus chapters, and into more abstract, advanced topics that are often not taught in many high schools at all.

Emma, Jason, and Danny Hollen are just three ordinary kids living near the Everglades National Park in Florida, that is, until they find an unexpected visitor in their backyard. To their surprise, the trio come across an egg - the egg of an extraordinary alligator. Keeping the situation hidden from their parents, the kids work to nurture the alligator. And with trouble and danger lurking in every dark corner and twisted shadow of the Everglades, the Hollen kids must use all their skills and knowledge to protect and help their newfound friend survive and grow. ******************************* "Daniel Kim is a determined and talented young writer. We first met when he was in 5th grade, and I was his school's visiting author. I was impressed then because he was well into his first novel. Several years later, he has finished that novel with skillful rewrites, more developed characters, and enticing plot revisions yet keeping the appealing and authentic voice of a 5th grader. Allison: The Adventures of Three Ordinary Kids and an Extraordinary Alligator, Daniel Kim's first middle-grade novel, will delight, entertain, and inform his future readers, and they will eagerly await his next book." Trinka Hakes Noble Author/Illustrator of Children's Books ******************************* "Daniel Kim's first realistic fiction novel combines adventure, suspense, non-fiction facts, and an innate understanding of relationships among siblings. His novel, begun when he was at Brooks Crossing Elementary School, is a wonderful testimony to creative writers who take ownership of their writing and create wonderful stories while doing so. Daniel's novel will be a hit with young readers who will love the way he develops the adventure and the characters, who meet with danger and keep secrets from their parents. This is a fun, fast, and fabulous read " Jodi Mahoney Author/Principal of Brooks Crossing Elementary School

This book examines cultural representations of African American and Asian American masculinity, focusing primarily on the major works of two influential figures, Ralph Ellison and Frank Chin. It highlights the language of gender and sexuality that writers use to depict the psychological injuries inflicted by racism on men of color—a language that relies on metaphors of emasculation. The book focuses on how homosexuality comes to function as a powerful symbol for a feminizing racism, and explains why this disturbing symbolism proves to be so rhetorically and emotionally effective. This study also explores the influential concept of literature that these writers promote—a view of writing as a cultural and political activity capable of producing the most virile and racially authentic forms of manhood. In comparing African American and Asian American writings, this book offers the first scholarly account of how black and yellow conceptions of masculinity are constructed in relation to each other.
