Joseph J. Lawson directs this action movie in which a technology
firm brings dinosaurs back to life only for them to run riot in Los
Angeles. Paraplegic Justin (Ronny Cox) is the CEO of the company
responsible for the outbreak. Having developed technology that can
regenerate flesh, thereby allowing Justin to walk again, the firm
utilise the same breakthrough to reanimate dinosaurs - only for the
prehistoric creatures to break free from captivity. As fireman Gabe
Jacobs (Treat Williams) endeavours to rescue his daughter Jade
(Jillian Rose Reed) from the ensuing carnage, he becomes caught up
in the struggle to contain the outbreak before it reaches
disastrous proportions.

Adjudicative competence remains an important topic of research and
practice in psychology and law. In the five sections of
Adjudicative Competence: The MacArthur Studies, the authors present
not only a summary of the research of the MacArthur studies on
competence but also an examination of the underlying theoretical
work of Professor Richard Bonnie. It is the first publication to
encapsulate the scope and significance of both the studies
themselves and Bonnie's contributions. There is no other source
available that addresses this range of topics.
Given its breadth and scope, this book will be a "must have" for
forensic mental health professionals, an important volume for
lawyers, and a vital academic reference work.
Now in its second edition, this edited book presents recent
progress and techniques in partial least squares path modeling
(PLS-PM), and provides a comprehensive overview of the current
state-of-the-art in PLS-PM research. Like the previous edition, the
book is divided into three parts: the first part emphasizes the
basic concepts and extensions of the PLS-PM method; the second part
discusses the methodological issues that have been the focus of
recent developments, and the last part deals with real-world
applications of the PLS-PM method in various disciplines. This new
edition broadens the scope of the first edition and consists of
entirely new original contributions, again written by expert
authors in the field, on a wide range of topics, including: how to
perform quantile composite path modeling with R; the rationale and
justification for using PLS-PM in top-tier journals; psychometric
properties of three weighting schemes and why PLS-PM is a better
fit to mode B; a comprehensive review of PLS software; how to
perform out-of-sample predictions with ordinal consistent partial
least squares; multicollinearity issues in PLS-PM using ridge
regression; theorizing and testing specific indirect effects in PLS
and considering their effect size; how to run hierarchical models
and available approaches; and how to apply necessary condition
analysis (NCA) in PLS-PM. This book will appeal to researchers
interested in the latest advances in PLS-PM as well as masters and
Ph.D. students in a variety of disciplines who use PLS-PM methods.
With clear guidelines on selecting and using PLS-PM, especially
those related to composite models, readers will be brought up to
date on recent debates in the field.
The third edition of this monograph continues to have the goal of
providing an overview of current thought about the spinal cord
mechanisms that are responsible for sensory processing. We hope
that the book is of value to both basic and clinical
neuroscientists. Several changes have been made in the
presentation, as well as additions because of the research advances
that have been made during the past decade. Chapters 3 and 4 in the
previous edition have been subdivided, and now the morphology of
primary afferent neu rons of the dorsal root ganglia is described
in Chapter 3 and the chemical neuroanatomy 4. The description of
the dorsal hom in the previous Chapter 4 of these neurons in
Chapter is now included in Chapter 5, and the chemical neuroanatomy
of the dorsal hom in Chapter 6. Furthermore, discussions of the
descending control systems have now been of Chapter 12.
consolidated at the end The authors would like to express their
appreciation for the help provided by several individuals. R.E.C.
wishes to acknowledge the many things he learned about primary
afferent neurons from conversations with Dr S. N. Lawson. He also
thanks Lyn Shilling for her assistance with the typing. WDW thanks
Dr Nada Lawand for her critical reading of parts of the manuscript,
Rosaline Leigh for help with the manuscript, and Griselda Gonzales
for preparing the illustrations.
As Sir William Osler said "The practice of medicine is an art,
based on science". The authors believe that the art of precision
medicine is knowing when the science of medicine should not be
applied to your patient. This practical guide to managing patient
expectations while maintaining a good medical practice presents as
one of the only books of its kind. Written for anesthesiology
residents in training, as well as practicing physicians, Practical
Anesthetic Management focuses on giving clinicians the tools to
create safer, more effective and efficient practices while catering
to patient satisfaction. Featuring pearls for teaching purposes,
Practical Anesthetic Management also covers topics like
preoperative evaluation, tips on blood-gas analysis, and essentials
of airway management, all complete with accompanying videos.
As Europe moves toward an integrated academic system, European
economics is changing. This book discusses that change, along with
the changes that are happening simultaneously within the economics
profession. The authors argue that modern economics can no longer
usefully be described as ?neoclassical?, but is much better
described as complexity economics. The complexity approach embraces
rather than assumes away the complexities of social interaction.
The authors also argue that despite all the problems with previous
European academic structures, those structures allowed for more
diversity than exists in US universities, and thus were often ahead
of US universities in exploring new cutting-edge approaches. The
authors further argue that by trying to judge themselves by
US-centric measures and to copy US universities, the European
economics profession is undermining some of the strengths of the
older system ? strengths on which it should be building. While the
authors agree that European economics needs to go through major
changes in the coming decade, they argue that by building on
Europe?s strengths, rather than trying to follow a US example,
Europe will be more likely to become the global leader in economics
in the coming decades rather than a second-rate copy of the US. The
book begins with two chapters spelling out the authors? view of the
changes in economics and European economics. This is followed by 11
interviews with a diverse set of innovative European economists
from a range of European countries. In the interviews these
European economists reflect on the ongoing changes in economics
generally and in European economics specifically. These interviews
demonstrate how the economics profession is moving away from
traditional neoclassical economics into a dynamic set of new
methods and approaches (incorporating work in behavioral economics,
experimental economics, evolutionary game theory and ecological
approaches, complexity and nonlinear dynamics, methodological
analysis, and agent-based modelling) that the authors classify as
complexity economics. This fascinating and easy-to-read book will
prove a stimulating and thought-provoking read for those with an
interest in economics, European education, and the nature of
academic disciplines generally.
The etiology of infantile spasms/West syndrome remains unknown; the
pathophysiology is poorly understood and the optimal course of
treatment is controversial. The primary goal of this volume is to
carefully assess all aspects of the disorder, provide the reader
with a concise guide to the most effective and efficient means for
establishing the diagnosis, formulating an appropriate treatment
plan and assessing the outlook for long-term outcome.
Infantile Spasms: Diagnosis, Management and Prognosis also aims to
provide a compact and structured knowledge-base which can be used
to facilitate the development of future research protocols designed
to uncover the basic mechanisms underlying this disorder and lead
to more effective treatment modalities.
The main sources for an understanding of classical Hindu law are
the Sanskrit treatises on religious and legal duties, known as the
Dharma stras. In this collection of his major studies in the field,
Ludo Rocher presents analytical and interpretive essays on a wide
range of topics, from general themes such as the nature of Hindu
law and Anglo-Hindu law to technical matters including word studies
and text criticism. Rocher's deep engagement with the language and
worldview of the authors in the Dharma stra tradition yields
distinctive and corrective contributions to the field, which are
informed by knowledge both of the Indian grammatical tradition and
of Roman and civil law. Davis's introduction presents an
interpretative account of Rocher's many contributions to the field,
organized around the themes that recur in his work, and examines
his key advances, both methodological and substantive. Comparisons
and contrasts between Rocher's ideas and those of his Indological
colleagues serve to place him in the context of a scholarly
tradition, while Rocher's fundamental view that the Dharma stra is
first and foremost a scholarly and scholastic tradition, rather
than a practical legal one, is also explored. This invaluable
collection serves both as summary review of the ideas of Rocher, a
leading authority in the field, and as a critical evaluation of the
impact of these ideas on the present study of law and Indology.
Knowledge, Class, and Economics: Marxism without Guarantees surveys
the "Amherst School" of non-determinist Marxist political economy,
40 years on: its core concepts, intellectual origins, diverse
pathways, and enduring tensions. The volume's 30 original essays
reflect the range of perspectives and projects that comprise the
Amherst School-the interdisciplinary community of scholars that has
enriched and extended, while never ceasing to interrogate and
recast, the anti-economistic Marxism first formulated in the
mid-1970s by Stephen Resnick, Richard Wolff, and their economics
Ph.D. students at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. The
title captures the defining ideas of the Amherst School: an
open-system framework that presupposes the complexity and
contingency of social-historical events and the parallel
"overdetermination" of the relationship between subjects and
objects of inquiry, along with a novel conception of class as a
process of performing, appropriating, and distributing surplus
labor. In a collection of 30 original essays, chapters confront
readers with the core concepts of overdetermination and class in
the context of economic theory, postcolonial theory, cultural
studies, continental philosophy, economic geography, economic
anthropology, psychoanalysis, and literary theory/studies. Though
Resnick and Wolff's writings serve as a focal point for this
collection, their works are ultimately decentered-contested,
historicized, reformulated. The topics explored will be of interest
to proponents and critics of the post-structuralist/postmodern turn
in Marxian theory and to students of economics as social theory
across the disciplines (economics, geography, postcolonial studies,
cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, political theory,
philosophy, and literary studies, among others).
