The book covers important topics in the psychiatric genetics (PG) field. Many of these have been overlooked in mainstream accounts, and many contemporary PG researchers have omitted or whitewashed the eugenic and "racial hygiene" origins of the field. The author critically analyzes PG evidence in support of genetic claims which, given the lack of gene discoveries, are based mainly on the results of psychiatric twin and adoption studies. Given that the evidence in favor of genetic influences is much weaker than mainstream sources report, due to serious issues in twin and adoption research, the author points to environmental factors, including trauma, as the main causes of conditions such as schizophrenia.

Demand for neuromonitoring in neonatal, pediatric and cardiac intensive care units continues to grow, motivated by increased awareness of the high prevalence of seizures among critically ill neonates and children, and emerging evidence that these seizures can contribute to brain injury. This book provides physicians, nurses and trainees caring for critically ill newborns and children with a practical overview of how to use and interpret continuous neuromonitoring to enhance patient care. Authored by international experts from diverse institutions and professional backgrounds, this is a practical guide that is accessible to intensive care specialists, but also comprehensive enough to serve as a reference book for neurologists and neurophysiologists. Concise enough to be read cover-to-cover and illustrated with over thirty case-based examples, this authoritative reference will guide readers in accurate neuromonitoring interpretation and optimal use of conventional EEG, amplitude-integrated EEG and other quantitative EEG techniques.

The increasing presence of women within engineering programs is one of today's most dramatic developments in higher education. Long before, however, a group of talented and determined women carved out new paths in the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois. Laura D. Hahn and Angela S. Wolters bring to light the compelling hidden stories of these pioneering figures. When Mary Louisa Page became the College's first female graduate in 1879, she also was the first American woman ever awarded a degree in architecture. Bobbie Johnson's insistence on "a real engineering job" put her on a path to the Apollo and Skylab programs. Grace Wilson, one of the College's first female faculty members, taught and mentored a generation of women. Their stories and many others illuminate the forgotten history of women in engineering. At the same time, the authors offer insights into the experiences of today's women from the College -- a glimpse of a brighter future, one where more women in STEM fields apply their tireless dedication to the innovations that shape a better tomorrow.

Ausgehend von verschiedenen Ansatzen der PPS-Systeme wird das Grundkonzept der integrierten Prozessplanung, -steuerung und -kontrolle dargestellt. Zudem werden produktionstypenspezifische Besonderheiten im Rahmen der Werkstatt-, Fliess-, Zentren- und Baustellenproduktion behandelt. Hierbei wird den neuesten Entwicklungen der computergestutzten Produktionsplanung und -steuerung im Rahmen des CIM-Konzeptes Rechnung getragen. Ein eigenes Kapitel befasst sich mit der Auswahl von PPS-Systemen unter ganzheitlichen technisch-betriebswirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten. Im Anschluss an diesen Uberblick berichten Fuhrungskrafte aus namhaften deutschen Industrieunternehmungen uber den heute erreichten Stand der computergestutzten Produktionsplanung und -steuerung bei spezifischen Produktionstypen."

It Couldn't Be The Measles is a story of a big animal and an even bigger problem. When an owner discovers his pet elephant has polka dots, he goes to enormous lengths to have him treated. After all, "It's hard to keep an elephant, especially when it's sick."
From the doctor to the fire department, from the local citizens to the Mayor, all are affected by this "polka dot mishap." The story is as lively as its inhabitants and the ending is equally as delightful.
