Kotlin programming has been recognized as the main language for
deploying Android projects, so this language has tremendous
potential. In order to understand the main principles and best
applications of Kotlin programming, further research is needed.
Principles, Policies, and Applications of Kotlin Programming
provides complete knowledge of Kotlin programming. It presents the
latest technology of Vert.X, Restful API programming application by
Kotlin, as well as authentication techniques for Restful APIs,
which are new and important content in backend deployment for
software. Covering topics such as array processing, graphic user
interface, and string processing, this premier reference source is
a valuable resource for software developers, programmers, students
and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.
This book provides a comprehensive examination of preconditioners
for boundary element discretisations of first-kind integral
equations. Focusing on domain-decomposition-type and multilevel
methods, it allows readers to gain a good understanding of the
mechanisms and necessary techniques in the analysis of the
preconditioners. These techniques are unique for the discretisation
of first-kind integral equations since the resulting systems of
linear equations are not only large and ill-conditioned, but also
dense. The book showcases state-of-the-art preconditioning
techniques for boundary integral equations, presenting up-to-date
research. It also includes a detailed discussion of Sobolev spaces
of fractional orders to familiarise readers with important
mathematical tools for the analysis. Furthermore, the concise
overview of adaptive BEM, hp-version BEM, and coupling of FEM-BEM
provides efficient computational tools for solving practical
problems with applications in science and engineering.
This deliciously spooky, yearningly romantic ghost story from a
brilliant debut author will thrill fans of Kalynn Bayron and Wilder
Girls by Rory Power. Jade Nguyen has always lied to fit in. She's
straight enough, Vietnamese enough, American enough - at least for
this summer with her estranged father in Vietnam. Just five weeks
of ignoring the quietly decaying French colonial house he's fixing
up, then college and freedom are hers. But soon Jade begins waking
up every morning certain that something has clawed down her throat
... from the inside. Then the ghost of a beautiful bride visits her
with a cryptic warning: DON'T EAT. When her father and little
sister don't believe her, Jade decides to scare them into leaving
by staging some haunting events of her own. She recruits Florence,
the daughter of her dad's business associate (and more of a
distraction than Jade bargained for) to help. But the house has
other plans. It's hungry. A home, after all, is only as powerful as
those who breathe new life into its bones. And this one is
determined never to be abandoned again ...

This house eats and is eaten . . . "A riveting debut from a
remarkable new voice! Trang Thanh Tran weaves an impressive gothic
mystery in which Jade's father is determined to restore a decrepit
home to its former glory and Jade is the only person who feels the
soul-crushing devastation of colonialism lingering within its
walls." --Angeline Boulley, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
The Firekeeper's Daughter A House with a terrifying appetite haunts
a broken family in this atmospheric horror, perfect for fans of
Mexican Gothic. When Jade Nguyen arrives in Vietnam for a visit
with her estranged father, she has one goal: survive five weeks
pretending to be a happy family in the French colonial house Ba is
restoring. She’s always lied to fit in, so if she’s straight
enough, Vietnamese enough, American enough, she can get out with
the college money he promised. But the house has other plans. Night
after night, Jade wakes up paralyzed. The walls exude a thrumming
sound while bugs leave their legs and feelers in places they
don’t belong. She finds curious traces of her ancestors in the
gardens they once tended. And at night Jade can’t ignore the
ghost of the beautiful bride who leaves cryptic warnings: Don’t
eat. Neither Ba nor her sweet sister Lily believe that there is
anything strange happening. With help from a delinquent girl, Jade
will prove this house--the home they have always wanted--will not
rest until it destroys them. Maybe, this time, she can keep her
family together. As she roots out the house’s rot, she must also
face the truth of who she is and who she must become to save them
all.

Developing Cross-Cultural Measurement in Social Work Research and
Evaluation, Second Edition is an applied practice-to-research text,
with a focus on developing, assessing, and validating meaningful
measurements across cultures and populations. This book deeply
examines cultural differences that may present problems with
measurements for target populations relevant to social work
researchers, and features practical hands-on solutions to managing
these problems using advanced quantitative methods. The authors
present a step-by step approach, beginning with the
conceptualization of measurements for different cultures, the
processes involved in identifying item questions, and the
quantitative techniques that can be used to validate new or
pre-existing measures. This Second Edition also includes sample
syntax from publicly available data for social work researchers to
learn to conduct these types of analyses with their own research.
New to the Second Edition: - Emphasis on Item Response Theory, and
a new chapter devoted to the concept. - Increased focus on the
process of instrument development, based on real-world examples -
in particular, a detailed examination of the development of a new
cross-cultural instrument, the Empathy Scale, created and validated
by a group of multinational and culturally diverse students from
the US, China, Mexico, and Turkey under the supervision of Dr.
Tran. - Significant updates of all content to reflect new
developments in cross-cultural research across social sciences and
psychological disciplines.

Redefining Diversity and Dynamics of Natural Resources Management
in Southeast Asia, Volumes 1-4 brings together scientific research
and policy issues across various topographical areas in Asia to
provide a comprehensive overview of the issues facing the region.
Upland Natural Resources and Social Ecological Systems in Northern
Vietnam, Volume 2, provides chapters on natural resource management
in northern Vietnam tied together by the concept that participatory
local involvement is needed in all aspects of natural resource
management. The volume examines planning for climate change,
managing forestland, alleviating food shortages, living with
biodiversity, and assessing the development projects and policies
being implemented. Without the involvement of local communities,
households, and ultimately individual people, the needed action
will not be effectively taken. Upland Natural Resources and Social
Ecological Systems in Northern Vietnam, Volume 2, goes beyond just
Northern Vietnam to address the issue of transboundary natural
resource management-an issue that Vietnam is dealing with in its
relations with northern neighbor, China, and western neighbor,
Laos-as well as the transboundary water governance between Pakistan
and India in south Asia, with the hope that some of the lessons
learned may one day be useful in the case of Vietnam and its
neighbors.
