This volume provides an overview of mental health research
conducted by sociologists. It discusses dominant themes such as
stress, the community and mental life, family structure, social
relations and recovery. The unique contribution of sociology to the
study of mental health has a long history stretching from the very
foundations of modern sociology. Yet it was only twenty years ago
that the Section on Sociology of Mental Health of the American
Sociological Association was formed largely in response to a
burgeoning rise in the sum and significance of research in the
field. Today the section is a large and vibrant one with its own
journal, Society and Mental Health. This book explores several of
the themes that have occurred during that period, providing both
perspectives of the past and prospects for the future. The volume
is timely, following closely the 20th anniversary of the section's
formation. Its coverage of key issues and its advancement of the
scholarly debates on these issues will prove valuable to students
and senior scholars alike.

A look at who and what is the reality of the Mall Cop. Some
descriptions of activities and events working as a Mall Cop.
This research extends the emerging field of hyperspectral image
(HSI) target detectors that assume a global linear mixture model
(LMM) of HSI and employ independent component analysis (ICA) to
unmix HSI images. Via new techniques to fully automate feature
extraction, feature selection, and target pixel identification, an
autonomous global anomaly detector, AutoGAD, has been developed for
potential employment in an operational environment for real-time
processing of HSI targets. For dimensionality reduction (initial
feature extraction prior to ICA), a geometric solution that
effectively approximates the number of distinct spectral signals is
presented.
