Journey across the miles to encounter haunted streets and highways,
railways and bridges, and even the friendly skies! In this
collection of paranormal tales, the spirits don't sit still. They
ride the rails of ghostly trains and sit behind the wheels of
spectral autos. From haunted bridges, ocean liners, and stage
coaches to ghostly hitchhikers and cursed cars, the entities in
this book like to travel! Meet a ghost who walks the Titanic
exhibit - is he still looking for the sunken ship? A lovely
temptress in Pennsylvania may lure you to your doom at the
Birdsboro Bridge and she may even come up to your car to talk for a
bit. Seattle's underground labyrinth of streets may beckon you -
beware, these ghosts from the 1800s are not camera shy. The spirits
of Flight 401 will be on board, too, welcoming you to this tour of
haunted travels. So hang on tight as you travel along the haunted
highways and byways to spend time with ghostly travelers.
Recent advances in neuroimaging and genetics technologies have
enhanced our understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders in
adults. The authors in this volume not only discuss such advances
as they apply to adults with learning disorders, but also address
their translation into clinical practice. One cluster of chapters
addresses developmental concerns as children and adolescents with
learning disorders approach young adulthood. Experts discuss
dyslexia, language-based and writing disorders, perhaps the most
widely studied group of learning disorders, from the point of view
of neuroimaging and genetic underpinnings. Chapters on the
neuroscience of nonverbal, math and executive function disorders
are also included. Clinically-oriented chapters with case studies,
recommendations for accommodation, and considerations for
evaluation follow. Study of specialized populations - such as late
high school students, college, medical and law students - further
demonstrate how our expanded knowledge base may be applicable to
clinical practice. The heterogeneity of adults with learning
disorders, the complexity of their clinical presentation and
co-existing disorders are addressed from both a scientific and
clinical point of view demonstrating how empirical research and
clinical practice inform each other. This volume will enhance the
practice of clinicians and educators working with adults with
neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as providing essential
current information for researchers of adults with learning
disorders.

The Seventh Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics
was held on the campus of the University of Rochester during the
four-day period June 7 - 10, 1996. More than 280 scientists from 33
countries participated. This book contains the Proceedings of the
meeting. This Conference differed from the previous six in the
series in having only a limited number of oral presentations, in
order to avoid too many parallel sessions. Another new feature was
the introduction of tutorial lectures. Most contributed papers were
presented in poster sessions. The Conference was sponsored by the
American Physical Society, by the Optical Society of America, by
the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics and by the
University of Rochester. We wish to express our appreciation to
these organizations for their support and we especially extend our
thanks to the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics for
providing financial assistance to a number of speakers from Third
World countries, to enable them to take part in the meeting.
These proceedings are the fifth in the series Traffic and Granular
Flow, and we hope they will be as useful a reference as their
predecessors. Both the realistic modelling of granular media and
traffic flow present important challenges at the borderline between
physics and engineering, and enormous progress has been made since
1995, when this series started. Still the research on these topics
is thriving, so that this book again contains many new results.
Some highlights addressed at this conference were the influence of
long range electric and magnetic forces and ambient fluids on
granular media, new precise traffic measurements, and experiments
on the complex decision making of drivers. No doubt the "hot
topics" addressed in granular matter research have diverged from
those in traffic since the days when the obvious analogies between
traffic jams on highways and dissipative clustering in granular
flow intrigued both c- munities alike. However, now just this
diversity became a stimulating feature of the conference. Many of
us feel that our joint interest in complex systems, where many
simple agents, be it vehicles or particles, give rise to surprising
and fascin- ing phenomena, is ample justification for bringing
these communities together: Traffic and Granular Flow has fostered
cooperation and friendship across the scientific disciplines.

The previous edition of this book marked the shift in technology
from video to digital camera use with microscope use in biological
science. This new edition presents some of the optical fundamentals
needed to provide a quality image to the digital camera.
Specifically, it covers the fundamental geometric optics of finite-
and infinity-corrected microscopes, develops the concepts of
physical optics and Abbe's theory of image formation, presents the
principles of Kohler illumination, and finally reviews the
fundamentals of fluorescence and fluorescence microscopy. The
second group of chapters deals with digital and video fundamentals:
how digital and video cameras work, how to coordinate cameras with
microscopes, how to deal with digital data, the fundamentals of
image processing, and low light level cameras. The third group of
chapters address some specialized areas of microscopy that allow
sophisticated measurements of events in living cells that are below
the optical limits of resolution.
* Expands coverage to include discussion of confocal microscopy not
found in the previous edition
* Includes "traps and pitfalls" as well as laboratory exercises to
help illustrate methods
Video microscopy is used extensively in many life and biomedical
science disciplines today, and is a useful tool for both cell
biologists and students. This book presents how to track the
dynamic changes that take place in the structure of living cells
and in reconstituted preparations using video and digital imaging
microscopy. Basic information, principles, and applications are
also covered, as well as more specialized video microscopy
techniques.
Key Features
* Chapters cover the commonly used video technologies in biological
research
* Nontechnical presentation of principles
* Emphasis on the practical aspects of instrument use
* Covers pitfalls in instrument uses that can lead to
artifacts
* Authors are leaders in the design and application of video
methods to biological microscopy
* Presentation of material tailored for the established researcher
that has little experience with video methods
* Examples are extensively illustrated with photographs
This volume covers the entire spectrum of acute burn treatment.
Individual chapters deal with basic aspects of different burn
mechanisms as well as the acute care of burn patients. Pre-hospital
management, critical care and basic concepts of burn surgery
related to the acute phase, as well as the use of skin and skin
substitutes in early stages of therapy are addressed in this
volume. Chapters on supportive therapies such as optimizing
nutrition and fluid homeostasis, infection control and treatment,
respiratory support and pain management complete the comprehensive
approach to the patient in this early stage of treatment, while
chapters on epidemiology, prevention and disaster management enable
the reader to evaluate the given information in a broader context.
Sending a son or daughter off to college is daunting and
fear-provoking experience for most parents, but if your child has
an autism spectrum disorder, the challenge is magnified many times
over. Even high-functioning students with excellent academic
preparation face difficulties in higher education, primarily
related to communication, social skills, and sensory-based issues.
For many, the accommodations and special interventions that
supported them in high school will no longer be available on a
college campus. This parent-friendly book, made especially so
because it is written by parents, who also are autism
professionals, takes the fear and mystery out of the college
experience. Learn how to select the right campus, how to work with
Disability Services staff, what legal protections apply, how to
prepare your son or daughter to be an effective self-advocate on
campus, what assistance can be reasonably be expected from
residence hall managers, faculty, and much, much more.
A brand new edition of the bestselling guide to raising teenagers
When Anthony E. Wolf's witty and compassionate guide to raising adolescents was first published, its amusing title and fresh approach won it widespread admiration. Beleaguered parents breathed sighs of relief and gratitude. Now Dr. Wolf has revised and updated his bestseller to tackle the changes of the past decade. He points out that while the basic issues of adolescence and the relationships between parents and their children remain much the same, today's teenagers navigate a faster, less clearly anchored world. Wolf's revisions include a new chapter on the Internet, a significantly modified section on drugs and drinking, and an added piece on gay teenagers. Although the rocky and ever-changing terrain of contemporary adolescence may bewilder parents, Get Out of My Life gives them a great road map.
