Organizing for Suicide Prevention: A Case Study at the Golden Gate
Bridge describes the long struggle to end a tragic history of
individuals jumping from the bridge to their death. Readers learn
how a group of advocates grew and sustained a coalition led by
families touched by suicide, and including prevention supporters,
health professionals, and other interested parties, to build a
successful campaign for a suicide prevention structure at the
Golden Gate Bridge. Central to this story is an understanding that
restricting easy access to lethal means-a simple yet often poorly
understood suicide prevention technique-can save lives. The text
demonstrates how the coalition's advocacy was employed to gain
approval for an access restriction structure on the bridge.
Dedicated chapters help readers understand how to develop a public
campaign to address suicide hotspots or other mental health issues
through community organizing, assertive communications, and a
persistent focus on goals. Balancing the findings of suicide
prevention researchers with practical application, Organizing for
Suicide Prevention is an ideal textbook for undergraduate or
graduate social work macro courses focused on communities and
organizations. It is also a valuable resource for practicing social
workers, community advocates, and community organizers.
The original Russian edition is based on a lecture course given by the author and provides a modern treatment of the physics of superconductors with special attention paid to the physical interpretation of the phenomena. This revised English translation has been enlarged by the inclusion of such new developments as High Temperature Superconductivity, and, as such, is the most up-to-date textbook on the subject available. The editor, Paul Müller, is himself a winner of the Walter Schottky Award for Solid State Research.
While the throughput of microprocessor systems tends to increase as
a result of ongoing technology scaling and the advent of multi-core
systems, the off-chip I/O communication bandwidth emerges as one of
the potential bottlenecks that limit overall performance. In order
to alleviate the communication speed constraints, optical data
communication interfaces move ever closer to the processor core. It
is widely expected that future generation digital systems will
increasingly rely on chip-to-chip and board-to-board optical data
communications for higher bandwidth and better noise immunity. This
book focuses on optical communications for short and very short
distance applications and discusses the monolithic integration of
optical receivers with processing elements in standard CMOS
technologies.
The Ecological Farm is a breakthrough resource for ecological fruit
and vegetable growers at every scale who want to go beyond organic.
Through a unique ecosystem-balancing approach focusing on reduced
tillage, minimising farm and garden inputs and pest control,
you’ll learn how to build higher soil quality and fertility by
using fewer harmful inputs. Â Farmer, consultant, and
educator Helen Atthowe (along with her late husband, Carl Rosato)
have decades of farming experience which is shared in this
essential book. They guide readers on how to reduce or eliminate
the use of outside inputs of fertiliser or pesticides – even
those that are commonly used on certified organic orchards and
market gardens. With clear, easy to action language and colour
photography, charts, and graphs throughout, The Ecological Farm
emphasizes the importance of managing the details of an entire
growing system over the full life of an enterprise. The Ecological
Farm features a crop-by-crop guide to growing more than 25 of the
most popular and profitable vegetables and fruits, including
specific management advice for dealing with pests and diseases.
You’ll also learn how to: design a system that establishes a
year-round root-in-soil system for microbial health strengthen the
“immune system” of a farm or garden supply crop needs using
only on-farm inputs such as cover crops and living mulch maximise
the presence of beneficial insects and microbes minimise ecological
impact in dealing with insect pest and disease problems The
Ecological Farm makes complex, sometimes messy, ecological
concepts and practices understandable to all growers, and makes
healthy farming, in which nature is invited to participate,
possible.
In the world of optical data communications this book will be an
absolute must-read. It focuses on optical communications for short
and very short distance applications and discusses the monolithic
integration of optical receivers with processing elements in
standard CMOS technologies. What s more, it provides the reader
with the necessary background knowledge to fully understand the
trade-offs in short-distance communication receiver design and
presents the key issues to be addressed in the development of such
receivers in CMOS technologies. Moreover, novel design approaches
are presented."

Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders star in this romantic drama
co-written and directed by Roberto Rossellini. Wealthy English
couple Katherine Joyce (Bergman) and her husband Alex (Sanders)
travel to Italy to sell a villa they have inherited. Far from their
London home, Katherine confesses to having had a secret lover and
finds her husband becomes even more distant with her; to such an
extent that they decide to finish their holiday apart. Whilst Alex
enjoys the company of other expatriates on the island of Capri,
Katherine tours around the sights of Naples and Pompeii. However,
the different events they experience begin to bring the couple back
together.
Die 14. GI/ITG-Fachtagung "Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen"
(KiVS 2005) befasst sich mit einer grossen Vielfalt von innovativen
und zukunftsorientierten Fragestellungen. Sie spannt dabei einen
Bogen von verteilten Anwendungen uber Netzwerk- und
Middleware-Aspekte bis hin zu eScience und Grid. Die KiVS 2005
dient der Standortbestimmung aktueller Entwicklungen, der
Prasentation laufender Forschungsarbeiten und der Diskussion
zukunftstrachtiger Ansatze fur die Kommunikation in verteilten
Systemen."
Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde versucht, die folgenden in der
Einleitung gestellten Fragen zu beantworten: 1. 1st es moglich, die
Vertriebskosten verrechnungstechnisch von den Produk- tionskosten
zu losen? 2. 1st es mit anderen als den herkommlichen
Verrechnungsmethoden moglich, im Vertriebsbereich der Forderung
nach Kostenwahrheit naherzukommen? Die verrechnungstechnische
Verbundenheit von Produktions- und Vertriebs- kosten ergibt sich
aus der heute noch iiblichen sutpmarischen Zuschlagskalkula- tion,
wobei fUr die Verteilung der Vertriebskosten die Fertigungs-oder
Herstell- kosten als Zuschlagsbasis verwendet werden. Durch eine
solche Pauschalrechnung wird einmal die wichtigste Grundregel der
Kostenrechnung - die Verteilung der Kosten nach dem
Verursachungsprinzip - verletzt; zum anderen lassen sich Fakten
iiber die Vertriebskosten, die der Unternehmensleitung als
informative Daten flir absatzpolitische Erwagungen und
Entscheidungen dienen konnen, nicht ermitteln. Es wurde deshalb die
pauschale Zuschlagsrechnung durch ein Verrechnungsver- fahren
ersetzt, das der Forderung nach Kostenwahrheit eher entspricht und
das gleichzeitig zu einer neuen, erweiterten Basis flir
Auswertungen von industriellen Vertriebskosten nach
absatzpolitischen Gesichtspunkten flihrt. Hierfiir erschien die
Methode der additiven Verrechnung von Vertriebskosten ein
geeignetes Instrument. Erst mit ihrer Hilfe konnen Daten ermittelt
werden, die Einsicht gewahren in die Stiuktur, Entwicklung und
letztlich in die verursachungsgema.Be Belastung von
Leistungseinheiten mit industriellen Vertriebskosten.
