Successful film producer, director, writer and publisher Michael Wiese relates his career experiences in the film and television industries through engaging and humorous stories.

Ayahuasca is a vision inducing plant brew. Whoever drinks it will meet spirits and have visions of other worlds and realms of existence. Under the guidance of renowned Peruvian Shaman Don Jose Campos, filmmaker Michael Wiese undertook a 10-day "dieta" where he ate a special diet and drank plant medicines. His diary-style film documents this extraordinary once-in-a lifetime experience.

Exploring contemporary theory and practice surrounding loss and bereavement for people with intellectual disabilities (ID), this book brings together international contributors with a range of academic, professional and personal experience. This authoritative edited book looks at diverse experiences of loss across this population whether it be loss due to transition, the loss or death of others, or facing their own impending death. The book begins by offering theoretical perspectives on loss and compassion, bereavement, disenfranchised grief, spirituality, and psychological support. It then addresses contemporary practice issues in health and social care contexts and explores loss for specific communities with ID including children, individuals with autism, those in forensic environments, and those at the end of life. Identifying inherent challenges that arise when supporting individuals with ID experiencing loss, and providing evidence and case studies to support best practice approaches, this book will be valuable reading for students, academics and professionals in the fields of disability, health and social care.

Do you feel divided between your work and your life as a Christian? This book addresses the "divides" that separate our work from worship and provides practical ways of viewing day to day work as an act of worship. It is for everyone who "works for a living" and wants that work to matter for God's purposes.

Ant sting allergy in Australia is predominantly due to the Myrmecia pilosula species complex (Jack Jumper Ant, JJA) and venom immunotherapy has been shown to be effective in preventing anaphylaxis to the sting of this ant. This work describes the development of a number of analytical techniques to separate and characterise JJA venom components. These techniques were then used to determine the allergenicity of previously described venom peptides in their native forms, identify additional allergens and to update nomenclature used to describe the allergens. They were subsequently applied to the standardisation of venom prior to new batches being used for the diagnosis and treatment of JJA sting allergy. Myr p 2 was found to be the only major allergen in JJA venom, whilst Myr p 1 and Myr p 3 were minor allergens. There were an additional five IgE-binding proteins that require further characterisation before they can be named as allergens. A standardisation procedure was validated that is able to control the quality of venom so that it complies with the requirements described in the European Pharmacopoeia.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich BWL - Beschaffung, Produktion, Logistik, Note: 1,0, Karlsruher Institut fur Technologie (KIT) (Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen, Fordertechnik und Logistik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Zusammenfassung: Untersuchungsgegenstand dieser Arbeit ist ein mehrstufiges logistisches System. Informationen uber Systemzustande und den Nachfrageprozess sind jederzeit systemweit vorhanden und werden zur Steuerung des Systems eingesetzt. Die Durchlaufzeit und die Nachfrage stellen stochastische Grossen dar. Die Steuerung des logistischen Systems erfolgt in Echtzeit. Hierzu wird ein dreistufiger hierarchischer Planungsansatz eingesetzt, welcher den Materialfluss auf Basis globaler Information steuert. Ziel der Steuerung ist ein kontinuierlicher Materialfluss bei niedrigen Pipelinebestanden. Auf der oberen Hierarchieebene werden die Steuerungsparameter bestimmt, welche das Niveau der Echelon-Bestande jeder Stufe festlegen. Zur Ermittlung der Steuerungsparameter wird ein Basestock-Konzept eingesetzt. Die Flusssteuerung (mittlere Hierarchieebene) regelt den Materialfluss auf Grundlage der Steuerungsparameter. Auf der unteren Hierarchieebene wird die Durchlaufterminierung vorgenommen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird das Systemverhalten in Abhangigkeit einer stochastischen Nachfrage untersucht. Mit Hilfe einer Simulationsstudie werden statistisch gesicherte Aussagen uber den Servicegrad, die mittleren Bestande und Durchlaufzeiten, die Varianz der Bestande und die Auslastung der Ressourcen gemacht. Die Simulationsexperimente werden fur variierende Einstellungen der Varianz der Nachfrage, sowohl bei stationarem, als auch bei instationarem Erwartungswert der Nachfrage, durchgefuhrt. Die Simulationsexperimente zeigen, dass der Zielkonflikt zwischen Servicegrad und Bestanden im System gut gelost wird. Lediglich fur grosse Schwankungen der Nachfrage ist ein leichter Abfall des Servicegrads zu beobachten. Dabei ist auf jeder Stufe des Systems
