Measuring Resting Cerebral Perfusion using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
The acquisition of resting cerebral perfusion measures using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the assessments of cerebrovascular health used to discern how well patients are coping with anatomical changes such as stenosis, and other factors impacting the supply of blood flow to the brain. Perfusion measures may be obtained using several MRI based techniques including arterial spin labeling (ASL) and dynamic contrast enhanced methods that rely on injected contrast agents such as gadolinium. Recently hypoxia-induced changes in deoxyhemoglobin have been used as a non-invasive contrast agent, measuring the resulting changes in blood oxygen dependent (BOLD) signals with MRI. With each approach, the means through which voxel-wise cerebral perfusion information is derived differs, leading to the development a variety of analysis methods in recent studies. This Research Topic is intended to attract manuscripts that advance the use of resting cerebral perfusion measures in clinical assessments of cerebrovascular health. In pursuit of this aim a better understanding of several aspects are needed.
Imaging Cerebrovascular Reactivity: Physiology, Physics and Therapy
Topic Editor Prof. James Duffin contributed to the development of an automated end-tidal targeting device, RespirActTM and is employed by Thornhill Medical Inc. (Toronto, Canada). RespirActTM is currently a non-commercial research tool assembled and made available by TMI to research institutions to enable CVR studies.

Principles and Practice of Public Health Surveillance
Public health surveillance is the systematic, ongoing assessment of the health of a community, based on the collection, interpretation, and use of health data. Surveillance provides information necessary for public health decision making and interventions. In the third edition of Principles and Practice of Public Health Surveillance, the editors present an organized approach to planning, developing, and implementing public health surveillance systems in response to the rapidly changing field of public health. Substantially revised and expanded on, this edition continues to examine further the expansion of surveillance of disease and health determinants, as well as the recent advances in data...
Static Analysis
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th International Static Analysis Symposium, SAS 2018, held in Freiburg, Germany, in August 2018. The 18 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The contributions cover a variety of multi-disciplinary topics in abstract domains: program verication, bug detection, compiler optimization, program understanding, and software maintenance.
Cognitive Plasticity in Neurologic Disorders
This volume makes clear that the cognitive and behavioural symptoms of neurologic disorders and syndromes are dynamic and changing. Each chapter describes the neuroplastic processes at work in a particular condition, giving rise to these ongoing cognitive changes.

Essentials of Working Memory Assessment and Intervention
Improve academic learning outcomes with accurate working memory assessment and evidence-based interventions Essentials of Working Memory Assessment and Intervention is an accessible, practical guide to accurately and efficiently assessing working memory. This comprehensive resource explains the theories of working memory, with an emphasis on cognitive load theory, and provides step-by-step guidelines for organizing a cross-battery assessment, selecting appropriate instruments, interpreting results, and formulating individualized interventions and educational programming. In-depth case studies illustrate typical profiles found in children and adolescents with working memory deficits, and the ...
Measuring Capital in the New Economy
As the accelerated technological advances of the past two decades continue to reshape the United States' economy, intangible assets and high-technology investments are taking larger roles. These developments have raised a number of concerns, such as: how do we measure intangible assets? Are we accurately appraising newer, high-technology capital? The answers to these questions have broad implications for the assessment of the economy's growth over the long term, for the pace of technological advancement in the economy, and for estimates of the nation's wealth. In Measuring Capital in the New Economy, Carol Corrado, John Haltiwanger, Daniel Sichel, and a host of distinguished collaborators of...
Essentials of ADHD Assessment for Children and Adolescents
A comprehensive approach to accurate ADHD diagnosis In Essentials of ADHD Assessment in Children and Adolescents, the authors provide a clear and informative road map for practitioners seeking to conduct state-of-the-art assessments for one of the most common disorders of childhood. Drawing upon years of experience in conducting diagnostic evaluations of ADHD following best-practice standards, they emphasize the importance of a comprehensive evaluation, incorporating data from multiple sources, using multiple methods, and interpreting findings within the appropriate developmental and cultural contexts. The major components of an ADHD evaluation (interviews, rating scales, cognitive testing, ...
