This title was first published in 2003. Problem pictures were very
popular during the Edwardian period. These pictures invited
multiple interpretations of modern life and were often slightly
risque. Pamela Fletcher explores how these works of art engaged
with questions of gender, sexuality and identity during their
heyday.

By integrating neuroscience and social science, this book
introduces a bold new vision of Participatory Action Learning and
Action Research (PALAR). The authors explain and enhance the art of
action research through PALAR as a philosophy, methodology and
theory of learning and as a facilitation process for professional
learning and social justice.

Study of the phenomena of bacterial adhesion to surfaces has
accelerated considerably over the past 10 to 15 years. During this
period, microbiologists have become increasingly aware that
attachment to a substratum influences considerably the activities
and structures of microbial cells. Moreover, in many cases attached
communities of cells have important effects on their substratum and
the surrounding environment. Such phenomena are now known to be
important in plant and animal hosts, water and soil ecosystems, and
man-made structures and industrial processes. Much work on
microbial adhesion in the early 1970s was descriptive. Those
studies were important for detecting and describing the phenomena
of bacterial adhesion to substrata in various environments; the
findings have been presented in numerous recently published,
excellent books and reviews. In some studies, attempts were made to
elucidate some funda mental principles controlling adhesion
processes in different environments containing a variety of
microorganisms. Common threads have been observed occasionally in
different studies. Taken as a whole, however, the information has
revealed that many disparate factors are involved in adhesion
processes. Whether a particular microorganism can adhere to a
certain substratum depends on the properties of the microbial
strain itself and on charac teristics of the substratum and of the
environment.
usage of the terms substrate and substratum. A substrate (pI.:
substrates) is a material utilized by microorganisms, generally as
a source of energy. A substratum (pI.: substrata) is asolid surface
to which a microorganism mayattach. REFERENCES (1) Marshall, K.C.

Silverman 8. Kjelleberg 8. Tylewska K.C. Marshall INTRODUCTION The
subject, Mechanisms of Microbial Attachment, has proved to be a
fertile sour ce of argument between both microbiologists and
physical chemists. In order to find common ground for discussion,
the group endeavored to come to a consensus regarding a number of
definitions pertinent to the subject. Some of these are described
in the text and others will be found at the end of this report.
Biofilms -- Science and Technology covers the main topics of
biofilm formation and activity, from basic science to applied
aspects in engineering and medicine. The book presents a masterly
discussion of microbial adhesion, the metabolism of microorganisms
in biofilms, modelling of mass transfer and biological reaction
within biofilms, as well as the behaviour of these microbial
communities in industry (waste water treatment, heat exchanger
biofouling, membranes, food processing) and in medicine (teeth,
implants, prosthetic devices). Laboratory techniques and industrial
monitoring methods are also presented. The book is directed at
readers at the postgraduate level and is organised as a textbook,
containing 11 chapters, a glossary, and a detailed subject index.
Although this book is, in one sense, about Dorothy L. Sayers, it
significance is theological rather than biographical. Since the
mid-Twentieth Century, and the period when Anglican theology
appeared to be shaping Britain's post-War reconstruction in many
respects, it has generally been true that the church's commitment
to social action remained whilst its grasp of the theological
foundations for that action withered. The theological seriousness,
and the deep philosophical, theological and social arguments that
Sayers and her associates adduced for the church's social
engagement, were largely forgotten as the Church of England tended
to seek relevance in preference to theological authenticity. This
lack of theological depth made it easy for the church to revert to
an inward-looking pietism from the 1980s onwards which had little
if anything to say about the Christian vision of a good society. By
turning the spotlight on Sayers's contribution here, Fletcher shows
how the theological seriousness of her period was not the preserve
of bishops and clergy but could be, and was, integral to the
reflections of a highly intelligent lay woman who saw very clearly
how Christian faith could permeate the story of the world, humanity
and the created order.

Comprehensive Otolaryngology Review is a study guide which provides
a concise review of high-yield Otolaryngology topics intended for
preparation for the Otolaryngology in-training exam and the
Otolaryngology boards. Primarily intended for Otolaryngology
residents or fellows in training who are preparing for the board
certification exam or the in-service training exam, the book is
also useful for those who are preparing for re-certification
examinations in Otolaryngology. The book is a rapid review,
arranged in an interactive topical fashion by presenting questions
in a case-based format with high-yield clinical vignettes intended
to cover frequently tested concepts from each of the major areas of
Otolaryngology. The text includes images, radiographs, audiograms,
etc. that are intended to highlight the characteristic presentation
of commonly tested conditions within the field of Otolaryngology.
Key features: Contains 44 cases with high-yield clinical vignettes
Topics are arranged around questions and answers with references
Includes illustrations and tables that highlight commonly tested
conditions in the ENT field for optimal study
Presenting major advances in understanding learning disabilities
(LDs) and describing effective educational practices, this
authoritative volume has been significantly revised and expanded
with more than 70% new material. Foremost LD experts identify
effective principles of assessment and instruction within the
framework of multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). With a focus
on what works in the classroom, the book explores the full range of
reading, mathematics, and writing disabilities. It synthesizes
knowledge from neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and special
and general education. Illustrations include eight color plates. As
a special supplement, a chapter on the history of the LD field from
the first edition is provided at the companion website. New to This
Edition *Heightened emphasis on intervention, including significant
new developments in reading comprehension and math. *Chapter on
principles of effective instruction and MTSS. *Chapter on
automaticity in reading, math, and writing. *Chapter on challenges
in real-world implementation of evidence-based practices. *Chapter
on the validity of the LD construct.
This book encompasses the second publishing of random writings
based on life experiences. The first book was very lengthy and this
one much shorter but I hope it helps someone to know that you are
not alone in your experiences.
Saint Benedict for Boomers is based on the idea that no one can
retire from being a Christian; we are to love God and our neighbor
throughout our life. And it recognizes that aging presents us with
change, loss, and death, as well as new growth and opportunities
for deep gladness and peace. The Christian vocation is valid when
we are healthy and strong and when we are weak and sick. Taking
Saint Benedict of Nursia as a guide, Christine Fletcher insists
that those in the autumn of their lives still have much to
contribute to society and to those around them, even when they are
ill and dependent. Benedict's wisdom is perennial, and it remains
helpful to those who negotiate new challenges in living well,
preserving bodily health, discerning purpose in new stages of
living, deepening faith, and ultimately, facing sickness and death.
