"Essentials of WRAML2 and TOMAL-2 Assessment" introduces
professionals to these two widely used memory measurement
batteries, both of which measure memory and are used to supplement
evaluations of ADHD and reading problems in youngsters, as well as
a number of other disorders across the age span. Written by Wayne
Adams and Cecil Reynolds, this essential reference provides
administration guidelines, including procedural suggestions and
solutions for common problems examiners may encounter; expert
assessment of each test's relative strengths and weaknesses;
valuable advice on clinical applications; and illuminating case
reports.
Originally published in 1985, twenty-three chapters are brought
together in 4 parts dealing with, respectively, problems in rural
finance, interest rate policies, politics and finance, and new
directions for rural financial markets. In an introduction it is
argued that cheap and abundant credit is often regarded as
essential for rural development but that actions taken on the basis
of this assumption have given disappointing results. Low-interest
policies and the improper use of financial markets are seen as the
principal reasons for this. It is recommended that higher and more
flexible interest rates are allowed and that little or no attention
is given to target loans. Informal lenders are thought to offer
valuable services therefore they should not be discouraged. More
emphasis should be put on voluntary savings mobilization and access
to formal loans by non-farm rural firms. It is concluded that many
traditional agricultural credit programmes are counterproductive
and that attractive product and input prices together with higher
yields would be more powerful in stimulating agricultural
development.

Antioxidants in Higher Plants provides a unique blend of molecular
and biochemical approaches to cover the state of the art in
antioxidant function. The chemistry and protective potential of
sulfhydryl and hydroxyl compounds are emphasized. Interesting
perspectives are presented regarding the response of antioxidant
metabolism to interactions among environmental pollutants,
illumination, temperature, and water availability. The book also
discusses how tools of molecular biology may further clarify
antioxidant function and response to stress. Antioxidants in Higher
Plants will be an excellent reference for plant physiologists,
biochemists, molecular biologists, ecologists, and students.

Invisible to official statistics and operating outside the reach of
governmental regulation, informal finance markets often prove more
efficient and more fair than their formal counterparts. The authors
of these studies emphasize the diversity and richness of informal
credit markets.
In missing and unidentified investigations, an abyss of dissonance
seems to exist between law enforcement and the community they serve
that all too often creates grating wounds that may never heal.
Utilizing Forensic Technologies for Unidentified Human Remains:
Death Investigation Resources, Strategies, and Disconnects bridges
this abyss. This is the first book that provides comprehensive
coverage of the tools for forensic, law enforcement, and
investigative professionals to explain how to utilize the vast
repositories of online databases of evidence that can help
investigators solve cold cases. Bringing together crucial
information in a single, non-technical resource, the book reviews
the use of the NCIC, CODIS, NamUs, IDENT, IAFIS, and NDIR
databases. It employs a cross-disciplinary approach to forensic
evidence and includes dozens of examples where these techniques
have concluded in positive results. The book presents the material
in a blended medium of both conceptual and nonfiction environments
so that students, educators, investigators, families, and the
public at large can easily understand. It includes dozens of
examples that illustrate cases where current databases and
investigative tools have yielded positive identification results.
Helping to unite families and law enforcement, this book will
assuage future dissonance through understanding and transparency.
After reading this book, you will gain the understanding required
to develop effective strategies for the investigation of unresolved
cases with a deep sense of purpose for both family and law
enforcement.

Seeming sometimes more like science fiction than science,
anaerobic bacteria have been at the center of a number of exciting
new discoveries. This volume discusses and explains the diversity
of metabolism, modes of protein transport, molecular biology and
physiology of these unusual microbes. It has practical applications
ranging from wastewater treatment to clinical diagnosis and
treatment of medical conditions.
During the past twenty years, multitudes of exciting discoveries in the field of anaerobic bacteria have been made. BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF ANAEROBIC BACTERIA explores the full range of these microorganisms. Many anaerobes have been found to have the uniquely fascinating quality of being able to survive, indeed even thrive, in extreme environments. Anaerobic bacteria often do not require oxygen, can survive extremes in temperature, and can withstand the presence of toxins and heavy metals. In addition, these organisms have very different metabolic processes than "conventional" microorganisms. The wide diversity of metabolism in anaerobes is only part of the story. They have distinct energies, cytochromes, electron transport proteins, hydrogenases and dohydrogenases. Their molecular biology, physiology, and ability to use many types of electron receptors (CO2, sulfur, nitrogen and metal oxides) are also extraordinary. With practical applications ranging from wastewater treatment to food storage issues, clinical diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions to decontamination of heavy metal exposures BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF ANAEROBIC BACTERIA will prove indispensable to researchers and students alike.

Winner of a 2009 Outstanding Academic Title (OAT) award Trees
continue to maintain a unique significance in the social,
ecological and economic systems of the world - as large, long-lived
perennials covering 30% of land on Earth; their very nature
dictates their importance. An understanding of forest genetics is
essential for providing insight into the evolution, conservation,
management and sustainability of both natural and managed forests.
Providing a comprehensive introduction to the principles of
genetics as important to forest trees, this text integrates the
varied sub-disciplines of genetics and their applications in gene
conservation, tree improvement and biotechnology. Topics discussed
include genetic variation in natural forest trees, the application
of genetics in tree improvement and breeding programs, and genomic
sciences and molecular technologies.
This volume is an important clarification of the controversial
religious beliefs of one of our most unorthodox but ethically
committed presidents. Printed here are the facsimile texts of
Jefferson's two compilations of Jesus' words.
Originally published in 1987.
