The premise of neuroplasticity on enhancing cognitive functioning among healthy as well as cognitively impaired individuals across the lifespan, and the potential of harnessing these processes to prevent cognitive decline attract substantial scientific and public interest. Indeed, the systematic evidence base for cognitive training, video games, physical exercise and other forms of brain stimulation such as entrain brain activity is growing rapidly. This Research Topic (RT) focused on recent research conducted in the field of cognitive and brain plasticity induced by physical activity, different types of cognitive training, including computerized interventions, learning therapy, video games, and combined intervention approaches as well as other forms of brain stimulation that target brain activity, including electroencephalography and neurofeedback. It contains 49 contributions to the topic, including Original Research articles (37), Clinical Trials (2), Reviews (5), Mini Reviews (2), Hypothesis and Theory (1), and Corrections (2).
This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850). Covers all known Amish in the first settlements in America and shows their lineage for several generations. (955pp. index. hardcover. Pequea Bruderschaft Library, revised edition 2007.)
Junge Menschen in den stationären HzE/der Eingliederungshilfe sind psychosozial hoch belastet und weisen oft psychische Störungen auf. Dies erfordert komplexe und qualifizierte Handlungsansätze in einem multiprofessionellen Zusammenspiel heil- und sozialpädagogischer, psychotherapeutischer, kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischer und sonderpädagogischer Expertise. Über sozialrechtliche und wissenschaftliche Aspekte führt der Band in die Grundlagen Therapeutischer Heimerziehung ein. Die Darstellung der verschiedenen Systeme und ein Überblick über kinder- und jugendpsychiatrische Störungsbilder spannen die Rahmenbedingungen auf, bevor spezifische heilpädagogischtherapeutisch Handlungsmethoden vorgestellt werden. Eine multidisziplinäre und systemübergreifende Perspektive ist durch fachkundige Autoren aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen gegeben.
'The final shock of it hit home. The Petches were thieves, and they had stolen him.' Tobias is on the run. From the father who betrayed him...from the mother who couldn't comfort him...from his own desperate fear. But when he falls into the clutches of his uncle's sinister gang of thieves, his fear grows. And soon Toby realises, his nightmare has only just begun... 'Renner's story bristles with talent and brio, craft and polish' THE TIMES on Castle of Shadows
During the last few years cavity-optomechanics has emerged as a new field of research. This highly interdisciplinary field studies the interaction between micro and nano mechanical systems and light. Possible applications range from novel high-bandwidth mechanical sensing devices through the generation of squeezed optical or mechanical states to even tests of quantum theory itself. This is one of the first books in this relatively young field. It is aimed at scientists, engineers and students who want to obtain a concise introduction to the state of the art in the field of cavity optomechanics. It is valuable to researchers in nano science, quantum optics, quantum information, gravitational wave detection and other cutting edge fields. Possible applications include biological sensing, frequency comb applications, silicon photonics etc. The technical content will be accessible to those who have familiarity with basic undergraduate physics.
This book introduces the principles of landscape stewardship in relation to sustainability governance, applying them to a broad range of land-use systems.
