Binge drinking (BD) is a highly prevalent pattern in most Western countries characterized by the intake of large amounts of alcohol in a short time followed by periods of abstinence. This abusive form of alcohol consumption is a regular practice in around a third of European and American youths. The high prevalence of BD at this age is of particular concern since adolescence and youth are in a period of special vulnerability to neurotoxic effects of alcohol, mainly due to the structural and functional changes going on in the brain throughout this key developmental stage. Evidence gathered during the last decade from animal and human studies seems to point to multiple brain anomalies associat...

This Research Topic is the second volume of Research Topic "Binge Drinking in the Adolescent and Young Brain". Please see the first volume here. Binge drinking (BD), also known as heavy episodic drinking or college drinking, is a highly prevalent pattern in most Western countries characterized by the intake of large amounts of alcohol in a short time followed by periods of abstinence. This excessive pattern of alcohol use is a regular practice in around a third of European and American youth. The high prevalence of BD at this age is of particular concern since adolescents are in a period of special vulnerability to neurotoxic effects of alcohol, mainly due to the structural and functional ch...
A Springer Series on Medical Education book "This is a book about the origins, design, implementation, and effects of the [Primary Care Curriculum at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine]. It is also so much more. It is a first-person account of a moving human experience, in which somes deeply caring people search for ways to provide a humane, effective learning experience for students who are seen as preparing to be practitioners of a humane, changing profession....In the 1920s, Gertrude Stein observed that the United States was now the oldest country in the world, for it was the first to join the twentieth century. Perhaps, we must now view the University of New Mexico's PCC as among the oldest programs in medical education, for it may prove to have been one of the first to join the twenty-first century."--Hilliard Jason, MD, EdD, Director, National Center for Faculty Development in the Health Professions, University of Miami School of Medicine

'Fundamentos de visión binocular' recopila los principales aspectos teóricos de este campo, ordenándolos y adaptándolos para el estudiante y el docente de ciencias de la visión. Su recorrido por las principales características motoras y sensoriales de la visión binocular lo convierte en un manual de gran utilidad tanto en optometría como en oftalmología. Álvaro M. Pons Moreno es doctor en Física y profesor titular de la Universitat de València. Su docencia se centra en la diplomatura de Óptica y Optometría de esa universidad, en especial en el área de Óptica Fisiológica y Visión Binocular. Su actividad investigadora se desarrolla también en el campo de las ciencias de la visión, con más de cuarenta trabajos publicados. Francisco M. Martínez Verdú es doctor en Física por la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Es profesor titular en la Escuela de Óptica y Optometría de la Universitat d'Alacant. Su actividad docente e investigadora se centra en las ciencias de la visión, sobre todo en óptica visual, visión binocular, visión de color y ergonomía visual.
Consider this: Robots will one day be able to write poetry and prose so touching that it will make men weep; compose dozens or even hundreds of symphonies that will rival the work of Mozart; judge a court case with absolute impartiality and fairness; or even converse with the natural ease of your best friend. Robots will one day be so life-like tha
With its content taken from only the very latest results, this is an extensive summary of the various polymeric materials used for biomedical applications. Following an introduction listing various functional polymers, including conductive, biocompatible and conjugated polymers, the book goes on to discuss different synthetic polymers that can be used, for example, as hydrogels, biochemical sensors, functional surfaces, and natural degradable materials. Throughout, the focus is on applications, with worked examples for training purposes as well as case studies included. The whole is rounded off with a look at future trends.
Family history and genealogical information about the descendants of Francisco Arellano who was born in New Spain (former Spanish viceroyalty in North America) ca. 1740. He married Maria Martin sometime prior to the year 1766. They lived in New Spain and were the parents of two known children. Descendants lived primarily in New Mexico.
El coneixement dels principis bàsics de la química general és primordial a l'hora de fer un bon ús de la química en el món que ens envolta. Aquesta exposició, clara i fàcil de comprendre, de les parts fonamentals de la química -termodinàmica química, equilibris materials, dissolucions, equilibris en dissolució i cinètica química- manté el rigor i els continguts apropiats per als primers cursos universitaris, tant de la llicenciatura de Química com d'altres (Biologia, Física, Enginyeria...). Per tal de fixar els conceptes essencials, al llarg del text s'ofereixen exemples del món real, que ens mostren una química viva i pròxima. Cada capítol inclou un epígraf d'activitats, que serveixen com a elements d'ajuda als estudiants en el seu procés d'aprenentatge.
