Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) has perplexed clinicians and researchers for many years. Despite recent advances in our understanding of and ability to treat this debilitating problem, many people with OCD do not benefit or benefit only marginally from existing treatments. Newer approaches and a better understanding of the pathogenesis of OCD are needed. One such approach that has shown considerable promise in recent years is cognitive therapy. Recent studies have found cognitive therapy to be an effective treatment for OCD, and research on cognitive theory for OCD is rapidly expanding.
This volume assembles nearly all of the major investigators responsible for the development of cognitive therapy (and theory) for OCD, as well as other major researchers in the field to write about cognitive phenomenology, assessment, treatment, and theory related to OCD.

Presenting an overview of recent advances in the study of human selective attention with neurobiological measures, a review of the field highlighting new data from fMRI, PET, MEG and ERP methods.

Selective attention was a central topic at the dawn of cognitive psychology, and it has proved equally central in the development of cognitive neuroscience.  The recent advent of functional imaging, using PET, fMRI and more recently event-related fMRI, has transformed the study of selective attention.  Other neurobiological measures, such as MEG and ERP recordings, have also played a critical role in human research, as has single-cell recording in related animal work.  Together, these various neurobiological measures have shed new light on how selective attention operates.  They have demonstrated striking modulations of sensory processing, and provided new information on the control processes that may be responsible for such modulation.

These proceedings cover the most recent advances on histamine research from basic science to clinical medicine. Histamine is an endogenous compound that is synthesized, stored, and released primarily by mast cells and after release exerts profound effects on many tissues and organs. It is one of the cellular mediators of the immediate hypersensitivity reaction and the acute inflammatory responses, as well as primary stimulant of gastric acid secretion. A central neurotransmitter role for histamine has been also established. 

Histamine research has been very dynamic since it discovery in 1910. Among recent important advances are:

 

Generation of Histamine H1, H2, H3 receptors and histidine decraboxylase (HDC) knockout mice.

This book presents a number of selected papers given at the LB9 conference, held in Potsdam, Germany, in August 2000. It is dedicated to new techniques and methodologies for studying interfacial layers. One group of manuscripts deals with the application of surface plasmons at solid interfaces, used for example in resonance spectroscopy and light scattering. New applications of various types of Atomic Force Microscopy are reported making use of various modifications of tips. A number of chapters are dedicated to light emitting diodes built with the help of LB layers. The aim of these studies is the improvement of efficiency. Electrochemical methods were described as tools for developing sensors, in particular miniaturised pH or gas sensors.

The application of synchrotron X-ray and NMR techniques have been described in detail in two extended chapters. It is demonstrated how molecular information can be detected by these methods for various ",20011201,224.5,224.5,,"Selected paper headings. Foreward. Contents.

0-08-044089-4,Hyperlink,Emissions Reduction: NOx/SOx Suppression,"Tomita, A.",, ,336,Elsevier,HC,"Hardbound. Over the past decade the topic of emissions reduction and control has remained an important area of research due to the enforcement of various Government policies in an attempt to minimize the impact on the environment.  One area in which a great deal of research has been conducted to address this policy is NOx/SOx suppression.  However, despite the progress that has been made over this time period, further research into the most effective method of reducing
NOx/SOx emissions is still urgently required.  In developed countries, a more stringent requirement in the level of emissions (such as is NOx/SOx component of less than 10ppm) will be enforced in the near future.  Developing countries will also need a new technology that is effective and that is suited to each countries needs.  Additional research and development efforts are thus necessary to meet such requirements.

This compendium contains a collection of key papers from the journal Energy Policy, offering a valuable reference point on the role of flexibility mechanisms in the mitigation of climate change. Originally published between December 1999 and August 2001, all of these articles concern particular aspects of the Kyoto mechanisms or variations on the theme of flexibility that have evolved elsewhere.

For better or for worse, flexibility mechanisms have become a part of the institutional architecture of energy policy in the 21st Century.

As the contributions to this compendium illustrate, this fact has both positive and negative connotations.

Humans are highly mobile but at a price: over a million people are killed annually on the road, at least 30 times as many are injured, of whom 1 in 10 may be permanently disabled.  How can we design a road or highway or transport system so as to provide both a high level of mobility and a high level of safety? 

For too long, from the perspective of the road user, highway engineers have had to employ their intuitions, personal experiences, shared 'know-how' and a 'suck-it-and-see' approach in many elements of highway design. Now the science of human behaviour can provide both fundamental knowledge and principles to enable matching roadway and transport system design to human strengths, limitations and variability in performance; an understanding of human contributory factors in accidents; and the undertaking of informed safety audits and reviews.

This is the first book ever to provide this psychological knowledge and insight.

It is aimed at bringing together human factors and highway engineers to work towards a greater understanding of current road safety issues and incorporating a range of different road safety and transportation perspectives in the interest of greater road safety. It provides a lively, readable and stimulating text involving many experienced professionals' views on a range of relevant science, engineering, information processing, behavioural, social and educational topics. It explains why psychology is relevant and useful to the work of the highway engineer, it describes a number of relevant basic principles of psychology for highway design and outlines applications of psychology of use to highway engineering.  I commend this book to the highway design practitioner as well as students of road safety. It is well written and contains a number of valuable lessons from the writings of these eminent authors, lessons that cannot be overlooked if we are to continue to improve road safety.,(Professor Brian Fildes, Accident Research Centre, Monash University, Australia)","Foreword.

Over-dosage accidents in radiotherapy have often had devastating and sometimes fatal consequences. Under-dosage accidents causing inadequate tumour control also occur; they are difficult to detect clinically. Radiotherapy is increasing worldwide, and accidents may be expected to increase in frequency unless preventive measures are taken. While a number of serious and fatal radiotherapy accidents have been reported, it is likely that many more have occured but were not recognised or reported. Because of the complex equipment and techniques, accident prevention requires constant vigilance of the staff, adequate resources, a functional implemented quality assurance programme, good communication, and continuing education. Modern equipment and new technologies require more quality assurance and highly qualified maintenance. Proper commissioning of new equipment and proper decommissioning of old equipment and sources must be ensured.

This report points out that the doses to tissues from computed tomography, CT, can often approach or exceed the levels known with certainty to increase the probability of cancer. Radiologists are responsible for managing the dose in collaboration with imaging staff and medical physicists. CT examinations are increasing in frequency, and newer CT techniques have often increased doses when compared to 'standard' CT. Referring physicians and radiologists should make sure that the examination is indicated. Many practical possibilities currently exist to manage dose. The most important one is reduction in mA. Paediatric patients should have specific protocols with lower exposure factors (especially mAs). Automatic exposure control would be the most helpful improvement in CT equipment for dose management.
