This volume contains the papers presented at the Seventh International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging and Holography. The meeting was held in Chicago, Illinois U.S.A. on August 30 - September 1, 1976. Since 1967 this series of conferences has served as an international forum for bringing together the many different facets of the ultrasonic visualization field. Medical diagnosis, nondestructive testing, underwater viewing, seismic the mapping, and acoustic analytical microscopy are examples of broad range applications of this technology. Throughly broad in scope, the common denominator that binds this volume together is the application of engineering and physics disciplines to the creation of images by means of ultrasonic waves.

Across the nine thematic chapters of Experiencing Medieval Art, renowned art historian Herbert L. Kessler considers functional objects as well as paintings and sculptures; the circumstances, processes, and materials of production; the conflictual relationship between art objects and notions of an ineffable deity; the context surrounding medieval art; and questions of apprehension, aesthetics, and modern presentation. He also introduces the exciting discoveries and revelations that have revolutionized contemporary understanding of medieval art and identifies the vexing challenges that still remain. With 16 color plates and 81 images in all-including the stained glass of Chartres Cathedral, the mosaics of San Marco, and the Utrecht Psalter, as well as newly discovered works such as the frescoes in Rome's aula gotica and a twelfth-century aquamanile in Hildesheim-Experiencing Medieval Art makes the complex history of medieval art accessible for students of art history and scholars of medieval history, theology, and literature.

The majority of young people in the American juvenile justice system have diagnosable mental illnesses, including substance abuse, mental retardation and learning disorders. However, these often remain undetected and untreated. In this book, a team of experts examines the prevalence of mental disorders in this population and describes the means of screening for, diagnosing, and treating them effectively in a developmentally appropriate, culturally sensitive manner. They also examine psychopharmacologic and psychotherapeutic approaches; innovative alternatives to detention; the true costs of detaining youth; vulnerability to self-incrimination; and the alarming trend of minority confinement. Their comprehensive coverage includes discussion of ethical dilemmas and the need for preventive strategies and integrated approaches involving judicial, law enforcement, educational, and mental health professionals. This book will be of interest to both mental health and juvenile justice professionals.

Zum ersten Mal nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg erschien das "Taschen- buch fUr Druckluftbetrieb" im Sommer 1954 in seiner siebten Auflage und war schon zwei Jahre spater restlos vergriffen. Inzwischen ist ouch die 1959 herausgegebene achte Auflage verkauft, und der Markt fordert in Form von vielen hundert Anfragen und Zuschriften die nun vorlie- gende Neuerscheinung. Weil sich in der inzwischen verstrichenen Zeit Wesentliches geandert hat, weil ganz neue Anwendungsgebiete hinzu- gekommen sind und das InformationsbedUrfnis entsprechend ge- wachsen ist, haben wir mit neuer, junger Mannschaft ein ganz neues Buch geschrieben und hoffen, damit eine InformationslUcke zu schlieBen. Unsere Zielsetzung ist unverandert die gleiche geblieben: dem Druck- luftverbraucher quer durch die ganze Industrie ein Handbuch zu Uber- mitteln, das ihn Uber die gangigen und neuesten Bauarten und Eigen- schaften der Drucklufterzeuger und die vielschichtigen Anwendungs- bereiche der Druckluft unterrichten will. Herauskommen sollte kein Universalwerk, weil donn Umfang und Eigenart des Taschenbuchs verloren gegangen waren. Auch muBten die Erorterungen der theore- tisch en Grundlagen zusammengedrangt und, wo immer angangig, in Form von Diagrammen dargeboten werden. Der Zwang zur raumlichen Beschrankung bringt es ouch mit sich, daB eine Reihe von Anwendungsgebieten nur gestreift und nicht erschopfend dargestellt werden konnte. Wer mehr wissen will, ist hoflich eingeladen, seine Probleme und Fragen dem Herausgeber vorzutragen, der gern fUr aile Druckluftfragen mit seinen Fachkraften zur VerfUgung steht.

Cristy Kessler should be dead. The fact that she's not is because she took charge of her own medical care. When she took it upon herself to find out why she had spent her lifetime battling pain and illness, Kessler embarked upon a journey of discovery in which she endured multiple treatments and procedures that resolved some, but not all, of her issues. Finally, armed with a diagnosis of multiple autoimmune diseases, she took charge and, with the help of a powerful team of doctors, Kessler identified the treatment that could save her life, a treatment denied by her insurance company and prohibited in the United States by the FDA. As Michael Seres, author of the blog, "Being a Patient Isn't Easy," and a transplant survivor himself, says in the Foreword, "With her book, she has been able to articulate in a very simple way the critical steps that every patient living with a long-term condition should abide by. She writes with complete honesty and lovely touches of humour....this is a book every single patient should read at least once. And, if you are a clinician, then this should be on your bookshelf or on your laptop as a constant reminder of the paths and decisions...patients have to take." Throughout her medical journey, Kessler developed the skills and strategies necessary to act as her own patient advocate, which, in the end, saved her life. Speaking directly to her readers, Kessler describes the five STEPS toward taking control of your health care with the assistance and support of a network of medical experts, family, and friends. Sensibility. Kessler urges you to pay attention to what your body is telling you and to record and describe symptoms carefully so that the doctor knows everything necessary for appropriate care. Most importantly, she says you must refuse to let anyone-even a doctor-dismiss your symptoms. Teamwork. Kessler urges you to take full responsibility for leading your team of doctors to make certain they are all working together, not at cross purposes. Don't be afraid to change doctors if you need to. Put together a support network of family, friends, colleagues who can do for you what you cannot do for yourself. Education. This is a critical aspect in directing your medical team. Kessler advises you to do research and to use the Internet wisely to investigate symptoms and treatment and to share information collaboratively and respectfully with your doctors. Educate your support network; don't keep secrets about your condition from the people who mean the most to you. Let them walk with you on your journey. Patience and Perseverance. Kessler acknowledges that being a "patient patient" is not always easy, but she urges you to find a balance between waiting calmly and recognizing when to act on something urgent in your life and circumstances. Ask questions you need answers to, be patient when you need to, and always persevere toward your objective of getting the best possible treatment available - no matter where it might be. Sustainability. Finally, Kessler insists that you are responsible for sustaining your body, mind, and spirit. Sustainability takes many forms. Whether it is through your faith or through personal and social networks, it is important to meet the needs of your whole self. Find a reason to get out of bed every day and find ways to pay it forward. Find one thing you can make time for each day that provides you with joy. In this genuinely compelling, honestly scripted, and engaging chronicle of her medical and personal journey, Kessler shares those strategies for others to use when faced with difficult medical situations.

Decorated with the richest, most beautiful mosaics in the world, the Venetian church of San Marco is quite literally a treasure house of medieval art. The domes and walls of the church, encrusted with stone, glass, and gold, have been recognized, over the centuries, as a glorious historical and artistic record. Peopled with hundreds and figures--Adam and Eve, Noah and his progeny, Isaiah, Christ, Mark, of course, and other holy men and women of Venice--these mosaics create a cosmic panorama. "The Mosaic Decoration of San Marco, Venice" brings these unrivaled mosaics into breathtaking focus, combining a descriptive history of their creation and repair over the ages with close-up photographs revealing their iconographic detail.
