Asian American women's (AAW's) mental health issues have received growing public attention; recent statistics suggest alarmingly high suicide rates among AAW. Yet, little research has examined the nuanced oppression that AAW face and the daily effects of compounded racism and sexism contributing to their mental health issues. Applying the intersectionality and microaggressions framework, we developed the Gendered Racial Microaggressions Scale for Asian American Women (GRMSAAW) using data collected from 564 AAW. Items were developed via literature review, focus group, and expert review. Exploratory ( = 304) and confirmatory ( = 260) factor analyses suggested a 4-factor structure and produced 22-item scales of frequency and stress appraisal with the following subscales: (a) Ascription of Submissiveness, (b) Assumption of Universal Appearance, (c) Asian Fetishism, and (d) Media Invalidation. Internal consistency estimates were .80 and above for frequency and stress appraisal scales, and the scales accounted for 52% and 60% of variance, respectively. Examination of a bifactor model containing one general factor and four group factors suggested that GRMSAAW could be represented unidimensionally (total scale score) for the purpose of applied measurement. Initial construct validity was established as GRMSAAW scores were associated with sexism, racial microaggressions, depressive symptoms, and internalized racism in ways consistent with theory. Implications for research and practice are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).

The framework of is a powerful analytical tool for making sense of how interlocking systems of privilege and oppression are experienced by individuals and groups. Despite the long history of the concept, intersectionality has only recently gained attention in psychology. We conducted a content analysis to assess counseling psychology's engagement with an intersectional perspective. All articles published in the (n = 4,800) and (n = 1,915) from their first issues until July 2016 were reviewed to identify conceptual and empirical work focused on intersectionality. A total of 40 articles were identified and examined for themes. Limitations and future directions are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

Based on Ostrowski's fourth order method, we derive a family of eighth order methods for the solution of nonlinear equations. In terms of computational cost the family requires three evaluations of the function and one evaluation of first derivative. Therefore, the efficiency index of the present methods is 1.682 which is better than the efficiency index 1.587 of Ostrowski's method. Kung and Traub conjectured that multipoint iteration methods without memory based on n evaluations have optimal order 2 n−1 . Thus, the family agrees with Kung-Traub conjecture for the case n = 4. The efficacy of the present methods is tested on a number of numerical examples. It is observed that our methods are competitive with other similar robust methods and very effective in high precision computations.

The thermal instability of a layer of OLDROYD fluid acted on by a uniform rotation is considered. The rotation is found to have destabilizing as well as stabilizing effect under certain conditions in eontrast to that of a Maxwell fluid where ir has a destabilizing effect. The analytic eonditions for non-existenee of overstability ate investigated. lntroductionThe problem of thermal instability of a fluid layer aeted on by a uniform rotation has been discussed in detail by Cn~,NnnASVKHAn [2]. BHATIX and ST~XN~n [1] have studied the problem of thermal instability of a Maxwell fluid in the presence of rotation and have found that the rotation has a destabilizing influence in eontrast to the stabilizing effect on ordinary fluid (Newtonian fluid). Here we attempt to study the effect of rotation on the stabi]ity of the layer of an OLDnOYV fluid heated from below.We consider ah infinite horizontal layer of fluid of depth d which is heated uniformly fr£ below and acted on by a uniform rotation ~ 91 (0, 0, f2) and gravity force g (0, 0,--g). The fluid is assamed to have a viscoelastic nature described by the OLVnOYD constitutive relation. Perturbation equationsThe constitutive relation for the fluid, as proposed by OLVROYD [3] iswhere Tij, eq, #, ~ and ~o denote respectively the shear stress tensor, the rate-of-strain tensor, the viscosity, the stress relaxation time and the strain retardation time.

The influence of suspended particles on the onset of B› convection is studied in the presence of a vertical magnetic field. The principle of exchange of stabilities is satisfied. The influence of suspended particles is to destabilize the layer whereas the effect of magnetic field is stabilizing. The effect of a uniform rotation is also studied and is found to have a stabilizing influence in the presence of suspended particles on the B› conveetion. IntroduetionThe problem of the onset of B› conveetion (thermal iiastability), under varying assumptions of hydrodynamics and hydromagnetics, has been discussed in a treatise by CHAr~DRAS~KHAR [2].Cr~ANDRA [1] found that the instability depended on the depth of the layer. A B› cellular convection with fluid descending at the cell centre was observed when the predieted gradients were imposed, if the layer depth is more than 10 mm. But if the depth of the layer was less than 7 mm, convection occurred at much lower gradients than predicted and appeared as irregular strips of elongated cells with fluid rising at the centre. This motion was named 'columnar instability' by CHAtarRA [1] and the phenomenon was observed by hito in ah air layer. Thus there is a contradiction between the theory and the experiment. ScAr~Lo~ and S~CZL [3] eonsidered the effect of particle mass and heat capacity on the onset of B› convection and found that the eritical Rayleigh number was redueed solely because the heat capacity of the pure gas was supplemented by that of the particles. The effect of suspended particles was found to destabilize the layer.The present paper deals with the effect of suspended particles on the onset of B› convection in the presente of a uniform vertical magnetic field. The gas is assumed to be infinitely conducting and the particles to be non-conducting. The effect of a uniform rotation on the onset of B› convection in the presence of suspended particles is also studied.
