Microporous materials, including both zeolites and
aluminophosphates are amongst the most fascinating classes of
materials, with wide ranging important applications in catalysis,
gas separation and ion exchange. The breadth of the field has,
moreover, been extended in the last ten years by the discovery of
the versatile and exciting ranges of mesoporous materials.
Computational methods have a long and successful history of
application in solid state and materials science, where they are
indeed established tools in modelling structural and dynamic
properties of the bulk and surfaces of solids; and where they are
playing an increasingly important role in understanding reactivity.
Their application to zeolite science developed strongly in the
1980's, with the initial successes in modelling structure and
sorption, and with emerging capability in quantum mechanical
methods. The field was reviewed over ten years, since then there
have been major developments in techniques and of course the power
of the available hardware, which have promoted a whole range of new
applications to real complex problems in the science of microporous
materials. This book aims to summarise and illustrate the current
capabilities of atomistic computer modelling methods in this
growing field.
- Details advances in the rapidly expanding field of microporous
materials.
- Summarises key current techniques in this type of
modelling.
- Illustrates the current capabilities of atomistic computer
modelling methods.

Novel Approaches to Colorectal Cancer, Volume 151 in the Advances
in Cancer Research series, is composed of 11 reviews covering
state-of-the-art research relating to the etiology, diagnosis,
prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. The book's chapters
were written by recognized experts in the field, and include
sections on molecular biomarkers in diagnosis and therapy, the
interplay of diet, lifestyle, and the microbiome, early-age onset
disease, mutational signature analysis, challenges in early
detection, immunotherapy, organoid technology, the role of
epigenetic alterations, disparities in minority populations, field
carcinogenesis, and cancer as an evolutionary process. Each of
these topics provides novel insights and concepts on various
aspects of the nature of colorectal cancer, offering new
opportunities for the management of a major source of cancer
incidence and mortality.
The Washington Redskins franchise remains one of the most valuable
in professional sports, in part because of its easily recognizable,
popular, and profitable brand. And yet "redskins" is a derogatory
name for American Indians. Prominent journalists, politicians, and
former players have publicly spoken out against the use of Redskins
as the name of the team. The number of grassroots campaigns to
change the name has risen in recent years despite the current team
owner's assertion that the team will never do so. The NFL, for its
part, actively defends the name and supports it in court. Redskins:
Insult and Brand examines how the ongoing struggle over the team
name raises important questions about how white Americans perceive
American Indians, about the cultural power of consumer brands, and
about continuing obstacles to inclusion and equality. C. Richard
King examines the history of the team's name, the evolution of the
term "redskin," and the various ways in which people both support
and oppose its use today. King's hard-hitting approach to the
team's logo and mascot exposes the disturbing history of a
moniker's association with the NFL-a multibillion-dollar entity
that accepts public funds-as well as popular attitudes toward
Native Americans today.
Theory of Electromagnetic Well Logging provides a much-needed and
complete analytical method for electromagnetic well logging
technology. The book presents the physics and mathematics behind
the effective measurement of rock properties using boreholes,
allowing geophysicists, petrophysisists, geologists and engineers
to interpret them in a more rigorous way. Starting with the
fundamental concepts, the book then moves on to the more classic
subject of wireline induction logging, before exploring the subject
of LWD logging, concluding with new thoughts on electromagnetic
telemetry. Theory of Electromagnetic Well Logging is the only book
offering an in-depth discussion of the analytical and numerical
techniques needed for expert use of those new logging techniques.
Hope has previously been a construct more of interest to philosophy
and religion than in psychology. New research has shown, however,
that hope is closely related to optimism, feelings of control, and
motivation toward achieving one's goals. The Handbook of Hope
presents a comprehensive overview of the psychological inquiry into
hope, including its measurement, its development in children, how
its loss is associated with specific clinical disorders, and
therapeutic approaches that can help instill hope in those who have
lost theirs. A final section discusses hope in occupational
applications: how the use of hope can make one a better coach,
teacher, or parent.
Key Features
* Defines hope as a construct and describes development of hope
through the lifespan
* Provides multiple instruments for measuring hope
* Guides professionals in how to assess hope levels & implement

* Relates hope to all portions of the population
* Includes case studies, figures, and tables to aid understanding
of research findings and concepts; discusses the importance of hope
to relationships, achieving goals, and success at work

The financial sector is the talk of the global village. This
book highlights that, before asserting that the institutions of the
financial sector deserve to be regulated, one should consider that
these very institutions are themselves the discreet regulators of
the markets where their activity takes place.
This textbook is a graduate-level introduction to the field of
clinical psychology. While most textbooks focus on either
assessment, treatment, or research, this book covers all three
together specifically for the introductory level graduate course.
Chapter coverage is diverse and contributors come from both PhD and
PsyD programs and a variety of theoretical orientations. Chapter
topics cover the major activities of the contemporary clinical
psychologist with an introduction focusing on training models.
The book has a mentoring style designed to highlight the relevance
of the topics discussed to clinicians in training. Assessment and
treatment chapters focus on evidence-based practice, comparing and
contrasting different options, the basis for clinical choice
between them, and efficacy of same.
It will also introduce business and ethical aspects of the clinical
career that current introductory books do not include, such ethics
in assesstment, treatment and research; third party payors;
technological developments; dissemination of research findings;
cross-cultural issues; and the future of the profession.
* Includes assessment, treatment, and practice issues
* Compares and contrasts different therapeutic styles
* Exemplifies practical application through case studies
* Focuses on evidence-based practice
* Orients future clinicians to contemporary issues facing
psychological practices
