Historically and contemporarily, student activists have worked to address oppression on college and university campuses. This book explores the experiences of students engaged in identity-based activism today as it relates to racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and other forms of oppression. Grounded by a national study on student activism and the authors' combined 40 years of experience working in higher education, Identity-Based Student Activism uses a critical, power-conscious lens to unpack the history of identity-based activism, relationships between activists and administrators, and student activism as labor. This book provides an opportunity for administrators, educators, faculty, and student activists to reflect on their current ideas and behaviors around activism and consider new ways for improving their relationships with each other, and ultimately, their campus climates.

Since the first publication of this book in 2007, the field of nanoscience and nanomedicine continues to grow substantially. This second edition, Nanotoxicology: Progress toward Nanomedicine, enlists internationally recognized experts to document the continuing development and rationale for the safe design of engineered nanomaterials (ENM). This includes new improved characterization endpoints, screening, and detection methods for in vitro and in vivo toxicity testing. These tools also contribute greatly to nanosafety research applied to nanomedicines. Topics include The impacts of nanotechnology on biomedicine, including functionalization for tissue-specific targeting, the biointeractions of multifunctional nanoparticle-based therapy, and the ability to control specific physicochemical properties of nanoparticles The requirements for proper detection, measurement, and assessment both for workplace exposure and in consumer products-with a focus on potential health and safety implications Predictive modeling, using quantitative nanostructure activity relationships to predict the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of nanomaterials in the body Specific methodologies, imaging, and techniques to assess nanomaterials from the manufacturing process to nanomedicine applications Tools for assessing nanoparticle toxicity and the limitations of detection methods for assessing toxicity in both in vivo and in vitro systems and at the single cell and tissue levels Toxicity of nanomaterials to specific organ systems, cell-based targeting to tumors, and other biomedical applications The difficulty of conducting risk assessments and the need for addressing knowledge gaps, especially with long-term studies A roadmap for future research The development of nanotechnology-based products must be complemented with appropriate validated methods to assess, monitor, manage, and reduce the potential risks of ENM to human health and the environment. This volume provides a cogent survey of advances in this area by a well-respected and diverse group of international scientists.

The original essays in this book highlight the destructive impact of McCarthyism on the African American Freedom Movement. Recovering little-known stories of black radical activism, they challenge the idea that the Cold War was, on balance, beneficial to the movement. The book emphasizes what was lost when anticommunism forced the movement to submerge broader issues of economic justice, labor rights, feminism, and peace. The authors illustrate the often neglected or understated human costs of the Red Scare, focusing on local and individual stories that offer insight into larger national and international trends.

More then 20 years have passed now since the first recombinant protein producing microorganisms have been developed. In the meanwhile, numerous proteins have been produced in bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi, as weIl as higher eukaryotic cells, and even entire plants and animals. Many recombinant proteins are on the market today, and some of them reached substantial market volumes. On the first sight one would expect the technology - including the physiology of the host strains - to be optimised in detail after a 20 year's period of development. However, several constraints have limited the incentive for optimisation, especially in the pharmaceutical industry like the urge to proceed quickly or the requirement to define the production parameters for registration early in the development phase. The additional expenses for registration of a new production strain often prohibits a change to an optimised strain. A continuous optimisation of the entire production process is not feasible for the same reasons.

The general field of fundamental and applied biotechnology becomes increasingly important for the production of biologicals for human and veterinary use, by using prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms. The papers in the present book are refereed articles compiled from oral and poster presentations from the EFB Meeting on Recombinant Protein Production with Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells. A Comparative View on Host Physiology, which was organized in Semmering/A from 5th to 8th October 2000. A special feature of this meeting was the comparison of different classes of host cells, mainly bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi, and animal cells, which made obvious that many physiological features of recombinant protein formation, like cell nutrition, stress responses, protein folding and secretion, or genetic stability, follow similar patterns in different expression systems. This comparative aspect is by far the point of most interest because such comparisons are rarely done, and if they are done, their results are most often kept secret by the companies who generated them. Audience: Presently, a comparable book does not exist because the compiling of manuscripts from all fields of biotechnology (prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic, up to animal cell biotechnology) is not done in general. This particularity makes this book very interesting for postgraduate students and professionals in the large field of biotechnology who want to get a more global view on the current state of the expression of recombinant biologicals in different host cell systems, the physiological problems associated with the use of different expression systems, potential approaches to solve such difficulties bymetabolic engineering or the use of other host cells, and the cooperation between process development and strain improvement, which is crucial for the optimisation of both the production strain and the process. This book should be in every library of an institution/organization involved in biotechnology.

Small social groups are fundamental for achieving personal growth, social development, socialization, and the skills of sustaining relevance, relationships, and connections to society. Unfortunately, those who would benefit most from small groups often find themselves unable to achieve membership. Lacking the necessary skills for entry, these individuals may never enjoy the advantages of group membership.

Advancing a practice methodology that specifically targets the socially unskilled, Norma C. Lang provides much-needed guidance to practitioners helping individuals become part of group life. Grounded in extensive practice, Lang's methodology addresses the special needs and anomalous functioning of individuals who lack the skills to form and use groups. She outlines the unique pregroup processes of socially unskilled populations and provides a methodology for advancing social competence. She also identifies the professional and agency requirements for working with presocial processes. Widely applicable to practice with social work groups, Lang's method greatly expands the literature on social work theory and practice with individuals and groups.

Der Abbruch eines Forschungs-und Entwicklungsprojektes vor der Erfiillung der damit verbundenen Aufgabe stellt eine besonders schwierige Entscheidung dar. Ein vorzeitiger Abbruch setzt sich dem Vorwurf aus, daB mit wenig mehr. Geduld das gesamte Ziel hatte erreicht werden konnen. Ein verspateter Abbruch provoziert das Urteil, daB knappe Mittel verschleudert wurden, die bei anderen Aufgaben eines Unternehmens besser eingesetzt worden .waren. Die Aufgabe ist auch deshalb kompliziert, weil sowohl technische a1s auch okonomische Kriterien in die Entscheidung einflie6en. Es ist deshalb verstandlich, wenn Wissenschaft und Praxis tiber die formal-theoretischen Modelle der Stop-Theorie hinaus nach inhaltlkhen Kriterien such en, die in einem moglichst When Zeitpunkt als Signal fiir die Projekt fortsetzung oder den Projektabbruch verwendet werden konnen. Solche empirisch orientierten Arbeiten sind bisher vorzugsweise in den USA durchgefiihrt worden, haben dabei aber noch nicht ausreichend auf den Wechsel moglicher Abbruchkriterien in verschiedenen Projektphasen Rticksicht genommen und die Entwi klung der Projektunsieherheit nieht explizit verfolgt. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung werden Projektdaten deutscher U nternehmen aus vier Branchen, der Chemie-Industrie, der Elektrotechnischen Industrie, des Maschinenbaus und des Fahrzeugbaus, untersucht. Lange vergleicht Erfolge und Mi6erfolge in der Entwieklungsarbeit im Hinblick auf die Kriterien, die zwischen beiden Ausgangen der Projektarbeit diskriminieren konnen. Er stellt denen den Vergleich zwischen abgebrochenen und erfolgreich abgeschlossenen Projekten sowie abgebrochenen und erfolglos abgeschlossenen Projekten gegentiber. Auf diese Weise kann eine Vielzahl interessanter und praktisch bedeutsamer Ergebnisse ermittelt werden. Erfolgreiche Projekte und Projektmi6erfolge zeigen wahrend der Projektbearbeitung einen voneinander abweichenden typischen Verlauf der mil den Projekten verbundenen U nsicherheit."

Seeing a brighter tomorrow starts with focusing on hope today. Look for the sun and you will find the light. Look for the possibilities and you will begin to see around the problems. Look for the opportunities and you will find a way to push on to your success. What do you see?

Momma may have said there would be days like this, but she did NOT tell me that there would be so many. Marriage turned out to be more work than play. Seeing the look on my husband's face made me certain that I would be getting a bad assessment for all that I had been doing. "Sometimes I do not even like being around you." It hurt, but it did not shock. When life throws a hard curve right at your head you have two choices: 1. You can run and leave all the hopes and expectations lying in the dust. 2. You can dig in your heels, focus on the ball and swing with all that you have in you. "The Husband Whisperer" shares my own experiences that come from the digging in determination it takes to build and grow a relationship. No other situation will be exactly like mine, and even mine changes with the passing days. Learning that you are not alone in the struggle to have that perfect mate helps make the journey a little more tolerable.

A life of peace and joy may seem like a dream. Taking a few simple steps, one day at a time, can ignite the possibilities for a life driven by passion and strengthened by faith and purpose.
