Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Most children master emotion regulation skills during their early childhood, though, increasingly, many enter school with mild or serious deficits that may not be addressed effectively or early enough. Practitioner's Guide to Emotion Regulation in School-Aged Children presents in-depth background and practical information on the subject to enable school professionals to craft interventions that are developmentally appropriate, relevant, and timely.In this volume, variables that contribute to emotional regulation are identified, complex relationships between emotions, stress, and temperament are explored, and challenges to competence at school (e.g., test anxiety, bullying) and at home (e.g., punishment for 'wrong' emotions) are examined. Strategies for recognizing specific skill deficiencies or more general needs are provided, along with emotion coaching techniques, cognitive-behavioral methods, anger management programs, empathy training, and other interventions. Dozens of worksheets and handouts included in the book can be reproduced or fine-tuned to fit age and ability levels.Featured topics include:Emotion dysregulation as a risk factor for mental disorders, including anxiety, depressive disorders, and the autism spectrum. The biology of emotion regulation, and its potential in designing interventions. Strengthening parenting skills to reinforce children's emotional skills. Working with teachers to improve the emotional climate in the classroom. The peer group: translating self-regulation into social contexts. Step by step intervention processes. With targeted training at the classroom, home, and peer levels, children can better attain the vital skills they need for a lifetime of social interactions. This volume is an essential resource for school psychologists and other school-based mental health professionals.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Global Change is increasingly considered a critical topic in environmental research. Remote sensing methods provide a relevant tool to monitor global variables, since they offer a systematic coverage of the Earth Surface, at different spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions. The data provided by Earth Observation Satellites are being operationally used for monitoring atmospheric conditions, ice sheets and glaciar movements, crop dynamism and land use changes, deforestation and desertification processes, as well as water conditions. The book includes an analysis of the leading missions in global Earth observation, and then reviews the main fields in which remote sensing methods are providing vital data for global change studies.Audience: Academic libraries, practitioners, professionals, scientists, researchers, lecturers, tutors, graduates, undergraduates.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Atlas of Staging in Gynecological Cancer' is designed to be used in conjunction with diagnostic procedures between the surgeon and the radiologist. It describes the two common staging regimes used by all units across the world, namely, the FIGO staging system and the TNM system. The 'landscape' format allows each chapter to open on the left hand side and read across the double spread, enabling the reader to see both staging systems at once. Each chapter has a separate section on Epidemiology, Diagnosis, with radiological plates, Management, in tabular form, and Key Points.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Thin lmdepositionisthemostubiquitousandcriticaloftheprocessesusedto manufacture high-tech devices such as microprocessors, memories, solar cells, microelectromechanicalsystems(MEMS),lasers,solid-statelighting,andp- tovoltaics. The morphology and microstructure of thin lms directly controls their optical, magnetic, and electrical properties, which are often signi cantly di erent from bulk material properties. Precise control of morphology and microstructure during thin lm growth is paramount to producing the - sired lm quality for speci c applications. To date, many thin lm deposition techniques have been employed for manufacturing lms, including thermal evaporation,sputterdeposition,chemicalvapordeposition,laserablation,and electrochemical deposition. The growth of lms using these techniques often occurs under highly n- equilibrium conditions (sometimes referred to as far-from-equilibrium), which leads to a rough surface morphology and a complex temporal evolution. As atoms are deposited on a surface, atoms do not arrive at the surface at the same time uniformly across the surface. This random uctuation, or noise, which is inherent to the deposition process, may create surface growth front roughness. The noise competes with surface smoothing processes, such as surface di usion, to form a rough morphology if the experiment is performed at a su ciently low temperature and / or at a high growth rate. In addition, growth front roughness can also be enhanced by growth processes such as geometrical shadowing. Due to the nature of the deposition process, atoms approaching the surface do not always approach in parallel; very often atoms arrive at the surface with an angular distribution.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Systems at the surface of the Earth are continually responding to energy inputs - rived ultimately from radiation from the Sun or from the radiogenic heat in the - terior. These energy inputs drive plate movements and erosion, exposing metastable mineral phases at the Earth's surface. In addition, these energy uxes are harvested and transformed by living organisms. As long as these processes persist, chemical disequilibrium at the Earth's surface will be perpetuated. In addition, as human populations grow, the need to produce food, extract - ter, and extract energy resources increases. These processes continually contribute to chemical disequilibrium at the Earth surface. We therefore nd it necessary to predict how the surface regolith will change in response to anthropogenic processes as well as long-term climatic and tectonic forcings. To address these questions, we must understand the rates at which reactions occur and the chemical feedbacks that relate these reactions across extreme temporal and spatial scales. Scientists and - gineers who work on soil fertility, nuclear waste disposal, hydrocarbon production, and contaminant and CO sequestration are among the many researchers who need 2 to understand geochemical kinetics. Fundamental questions concerning the lo- term geological, climatic and biological evolution of the planet also rely on g- kinetic information. In this book, we summarize approaches toward measuring and predicting the - netics of water-rock interactions which contribute to the processes mentioned above.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Arzneimitteltherapie ist die von Ärzten am häufigsten eingesetzte Therapie. Dementsprechend stellt sich die Frage nach der Arzneimittelsicherheit. Die Dunkelziffer von unerwünschten Arzneimittelwirkungen ist hoch. Wissenschaftliche Studien lassen vermuten, dass zwischen 30 % und 70 % unerwünschter Arzneimittelwirkungen vermieden werden könnten. An die Rahmenbedingungen für die sichere Anwendung von Arzneimitteln sind hohe Anforderungen zu stellen, allerdings ist streitig, ob unter den gegebenen Voraussetzungen ¿ ökonomische Zwänge, nationale und auch europäische Rechts- und Verwaltungsregularien ¿ die Sicherheitsprobleme im Umgang mit Arzneimitteln ausreichend transparent an die Ärzteschaft und an die Öffentlichkeit kommuniziert werden. Die Autoren zeigen die verschiedenen Anforderungen bei der Entwicklung neuer Medikamente und der Anwendung von Arzneimitteln und deren rechtlichen und ökonomischen Rahmen auf. Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge des XVIII. Kölner Symposiums der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Rechtsanwälte im Medizinrecht enthalten nicht nur politische Erwägungen, sondern sind zugleich Arbeitsmittel für die tägliche Rechtspraxis.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Many lights and other objects in the sky go unrecognised, or at least are little understood by those observing them. Such things range from the commonplace like rainbows and meteors, to the distinctly unusual like the green flash and ball lightning. And there is still a residuum of objects that remain unidentified by the watcher - classed generally as 'UFOs', a description which today has connotations of the mysterious, even of extraterrestrial visitors.The first part of this book is an identification guide, very much like the 'plant identifier' sections found in a good gardening or botany book. It allows quick (and structured) identification of known aerial phenomena, whether at night or during the day. The objects thus found are referenced to the second part of the book.The second part gives a full description, physical explanation, and where relevant notes on observing and photographing the various phenomena. Some will need optical aids such as binoculars or telescopes, but the main thrust of the book is identification and explanation rather than imaging.The final chapter approaches UFOs from a scientific standpoint, particularly the way in which human perception and often preconception affects the outcome. It does however finish with a short section on 'extraterrestrial UFOs', emphasising the burden of proof aspect and touching on the scientific theories of life on other worlds and the improbability of visitors. 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Entropy and entropy production have recently become mathematical tools for kinetic and hydrodynamic limits, when deriving the macroscopic behaviour of systems from the interaction dynamics of their many microscopic elementary constituents at the atomic or molecular level.During a special semester on Hydrodynamic Limits at the Centre Émile Borel in Paris, 2001 two of the research courses were held by C. Villani and F. Rezakhanlou. Both illustrate the major role of entropy and entropy production in a mutual and complementary manner and have been written up and updated for joint publication. Villani describes the mathematical theory of convergence to equilibrium for the Boltzmann equation and its relation to various problems and fields, including information theory, logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and fluid mechanics. Rezakhanlou discusses four conjectures for the kinetic behaviour of the hard sphere models and formulates four stochastic variations of this model, also reviewing known results for these. 113 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Scientists will often tell you that now is the most exciting time for a particular interest. We will always have just discovered or invented something that will 'revolutionize' something or the other. The computer on which I am typing this, for example, is four times faster than its predecessor and slightly cheaper. However, the last decade or so has seen some advances that have changed the face of amateur solar astronomy. Professional researchers have been using many of the tools and techniques for years but now they are available to amateurs as well. The use of digital photography and computers has changed all astronomy, not just amateur solar astronomy, and it has certainly made a lot more techniques available for photographing the Sun. Secondly, the use of 'white light' solar filters has improved the detail that can be seen on the solar surface. In the past, the only technique that was available was projection onto a piece of white paper or card. Thirdly, the use of hydrogen alpha filters has recently hit the 'affordability barrier' of $500 or £500 for many amateur astronomers. The Coronado Personal Solar Telescope (PST) is a real breakthrough product that has now brought a fascinating branch of astronomy within the reach of many people. In recent months, the same technique has been applied to calcium K filters. 348 pp. Englisch.
