Ever wonder what happens to our animal companions when they leave this world behind? Do they still play in lovely fields, or do they soar above the heavens, watching over us with loving eyes?In this enchanting tale, you will meet Ziandi, the chow-chow puppy who became a gentle soul whose spirit knows no bounds. Through the eyes of Ziandi, you will unravel the mysteries of the great beyond, discovering solace amid loss and the promise of everlasting friendship.As you turn each page, allow yourself to be swept away by the questions that linger in your mind. Let your imagination take flight as you join Ziandi on his quest for peace and understanding.So, dear reader, prepare to be enthralled. Open your heart to the wonders that await, for in the land that separated the living from the ones who crossed over, the spirit of our beloved pets lives on, forever watching over us with unwavering devotion.
I disturbi della consapevolezza nelle malattie neuropsichiatriche
Maria D. Orfei; Carlo Caltagirone; Gianfranco Spalletta
Springer Verlag
2007
nidottu
Il presente volume si propone di delineare l’insieme delle attuali conoscenze in campo internazionale sulla consapevolezza di malattia in diverse condizioni neuropsichiatriche (emiplegia conseguente a un danno cerebrale, psicosi, demenze e disturbi dell’umore), con particolare riferimento all’anosognosia e all’insight. Il confronto tra diverse concettualizzazioni e la varietà di manifestazioni cliniche dà luogo ad un quadro molto articolato che necessita di un approccio multidimensionale, specie per quanto riguarda il momento diagnostico. A tal fine, gli autori propongono un’integrazione di diversi contributi sul piano patogenetico, basati su evidenze neuroanatomiche e supportati dalle più recenti tecniche di neuroimmagini. Inoltre, viene suggerito l’utilizzo di una batteria diagnostica complessa in grado di analizzare i diversi aspetti del fenomeno, e di distinguerlo dal meccanismo psicologico difensivo della negazione. La ricerca in questo campo è fondamentale anche per favorire la riabilitazione e la compliance con il trattamento, nonché l’arricchimento delle conoscenze sui processi sottesi alla coscienza e alla consapevolezza nell’essere umano.
Singapore's era of pluralism between the 1950s and 1970s was a time of extraordinary cultural, intellectual and political dynamism. Students, labour unions, ambitious political contenders, and representatives of the various ethnic communities all stepped forward to offer alternate visions of Singapore's future from across the entire political spectrum. They generated a ferment of ideologies, priorities, perspectives and social visions such as mainstream 'official' Singapore politics had never known before and has not seen since.Post WWII Singapore history generally follows a central theme of progress to establish the PAP political, economic and social model. Alternatives receive cursory treatment as problems, false starts, or difficulties to be overcome. This book reveals a more complex situation that involved a much larger cast of significant players, and gives due weight to the middle years of the twentieth century as a period that offered real alternatives, rather than a chaotic age before the dawn.The book will remind older Singaporeans of pages from their past, and will provide a younger generation with a novel perspective at their country's past struggles. For outside observers, it offers a fascinating glimpse of a side of Singapore that has received relatively little attention.
Structural Equation Modeling for Health and Medicine
Douglas D. Gunzler; Adam T. Perzynski; Adam C. Carle
TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a very general and flexible multivariate technique that allows relationships among variables to be examined. The roots of SEM are in the social sciences. In writing this textbook, the authors look to make SEM accessible to a wider audience of researchers across many disciplines, addressing issues unique to health and medicine. SEM is often used in practice to model and test hypothesized causal relationships among observed and latent (unobserved) variables, including in analysis across time and groups. It can be viewed as the merging of a conceptual model, path diagram, confirmatory factor analysis, and path analysis. In this textbook the authors also discuss techniques, such as mixture modeling, that expand the capacity of SEM using a combination of both continuous and categorical latent variables. Features: Basic, intermediate, and advanced SEM topics Detailed applications, particularly relevant for health and medical scientists Topics and examples that are pertinent to both new and experienced SEM researchers Substantive issues in health and medicine in the context of SEM Both methodological and applied examples Numerous figures and diagrams to illustrate the examplesAs SEM experts situated among clinicians and multidisciplinary researchers in medical settings, the authors provide a broad, current, on the ground understanding of the issues faced by clinical and health services researchers and decision scientists. This book gives health and medical researchers the tools to apply SEM approaches to study complex relationships between clinical measurements, individual and community-level characteristics, and patient-reported scales.
Fisheries Ecology and Management
Carl J. Walters; Steven J. D. Martell
Princeton University Press
2004
pokkari
Quantitative modeling methods have become a central tool in the management of harvested fish populations. This book examines how these modeling methods work, why they sometimes fail, and how they might be improved by incorporating larger ecological interactions. Fisheries Ecology and Management provides a broad introduction to the concepts and quantitative models needed to successfully manage fisheries. Walters and Martell develop models that account for key ecological dynamics such as trophic interactions, food webs, multi-species dynamics, risk-avoidance behavior, habitat selection and density-dependence. They treat fisheries policy development as a two-stage process, first identifying strategies for varying harvest in relation to changes in abundance, then finding ways to implement such strategies in terms of monitoring and regulatory procedures. This book provides a general framework for developing assessment models in terms of state-observation dynamics hypotheses, and points out that most fisheries assessment failures have been due to inappropriate observation model hypotheses rather than faulty models for ecological dynamics. Intended as a text in upper division and graduate classes on fisheries assessment and management, this useful guide will also be widely read by ecologists and fisheries scientists.
Historical Dictionary of Liberia

Scarecrow Press
2000

Originally formed to harbor freed slaves and Americans returning to Africa, Liberia once was a land of hope. That was shattered by a long Civil War that shook its very foundation. Today's Liberia is glimpsed in this second edition. Building on the first edition, this updated volume focuses on the personalities, from the founders of Liberia, to the soldiers who are responsible simultaneously for destruction and the hope of stability. Along with these people, various social and ethnic groups, political parties and labor movements, economic entities and natural resources are profiled in this updated work. A new chronology of Liberia is included, and a selected bibliography suggests further readings for the scholar.

The Fifth Ir Gene Workshop was held at the Chase-Park Plaza Hotel, St. Louis, MO, August 28-31, 1982; 240 scientists participated in the Workshop. The man uscripts compiled in this book describe the state of the art concerning Ir genes. Although the notion of Ir Genes: Past, Present, and Future has not been ad dressed specifically by each author, the reader is certain to get this flavor from the contributions. In this Preface, we have tried to summarize some of the salient ob servations and discussions from the Workshop. The mUltiple genes of the I region have been defined traditionally by serolog ical analysis of intra-H-2 recombinant mice and the pattern of immune responses to certain antigens developed by these recombinant mice. The application of sev eral new techniques, such as gene cloning and DNA sequencing, production of T and B cell hybridomas, and development of cloned T cell lines has changed this tradition and introduced a new phase into the analysis of the I region, Ia antigens, and Ir genes.

Cooper Hewitt possesses one of the most diverse and comprehensive collections of design works in existence and is the only museum in the United States devoted exclusively to historic and contemporary design. Reopening in late 2014, the museum has undergone a transformative renovation. Its landmark home in the Andrew Carnegie Mansion offers an entirely new and interactive visitor experience resulting in 60 percent more gallery space. To mark the occasion, Cooper Hewitt is publishing an expansive book on its unparalleled collection, which consists of more than 210,000 objects from all over the world, spanning 30 centuries. Designed by Irma Boom, and a wonderful design object in itself at over 900 pages, the book expresses the museum's primary goal--to inspire people to see how design impacts their lives. Available in three different colors and printing with glow in the dark ink, the book embodies design process. This user-centered approach is reinforced throughout the pages with 54 narratives and an extensive process glossary that discusses individual objects through a design lens. Featuring more than 1,100 collection objects selected by the curatorial staff, Smithsonian Design Library, and renowned designer Irma Boom, Making Design is organized entirely by Boom's visual sequencing of images; her design and the curators' essays weave parallel narratives throughout the book. This wildly playful and unexpected jaunt through the collection ends with Boom's exploration of her process, "Making Making Design," which embraces the essence design and the new experiences in Cooper Hewitt's galleries.

Artech House
1999
sidottu
Using the Bayesian inference framework, this book enables the reader to design and develop mathematically sound algorithms for dealing with tracking problems involving multiple targets, multiple sensors, and multiple platforms. It shows how non-linear Multiple Hypothesis Tracking and the Theory of United Tracking are successful methods when multiple target tracking must be performed without contacts or association. With detailed examples illustrating the developed concepts, algorithms, and approaches, the book helps the reader track when observations are non-linear functions of target site, when the target state distributions or measurements error distributions are not Gaussian, when notions of contact and association are merged or unresolved among more than one target, and in low data rate and low signal to noise ratio situations.
