Factorization Method in Quantum Mechanics by Shi-Hai Dong
English | PDF | 2007 | 308 Pages | ISBN : 1402057954 | 3 MB
This book introduces the factorization method in quantum mechanics at an advanced level, with the aim of putting mathematical and physical concepts and techniques like the factorization method, Lie algebras, matrix elements and quantum control at the reader's disposal. For this purpose, the text provides a comprehensive description of the factorization method and its wide applications in quantum mechanics which complements the traditional coverage found in quantum mechanics textbooks.
Evidence-Based School Mental Health Services: Affect Education, Emotion Regulation Training, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by Gayle L. Macklem
English | PDF | 2011 | 313 Pages | ISBN : 1441979069 | 3.9 MB
The challenges of providing mental health services to school children are numerous and diverse, ranging from staffing shortages to insufficient funding to family resistance to administrative indifference. Yet with the U.S. Surgeon General estimating that approximately 20% of young people display signs of psychological problems, the need for such services - particularly for interventions that not only address mental health issues but also reinforce protective factors - is considerable.
Evaluation and Management of Dysphagia: An Evidence-Based Approach by Dhyanesh A. Patel
English | PDF | 2019 | 225 Pages | ISBN : 3030265536 | 5.1 MB
This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of dysphagia. The text reviews current evidence behind the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of esophageal disorders that cause dysphagia, including GERD, eosinophilic esophagitis, achalasia, and spastic motor disorders. The book also focuses on the different variants of dysphagia, from oropharyngeal dysphagia to functional dysphagia, highlights advances in testing for dysphagia, and features evidence-based algorithms.
Embitterment: Societal, psychological, and clinical perspectives by Michael Linden
English | PDF | 2011 | 340 Pages | ISBN : 3211997407 | 2.6 MB
Embitterment is a distinct state of mood known to everyone. It can be seen in the context of exceptional though "normal" negative life events. It is an emotional reaction e.g. to humiliation, to being severely disappointed by others, or to violations of basic values. Embitterment is accompanied by other emotions like feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, poor moods and a lack of drive, and aggression towards oneself and others. It can end in suicide or even murder-suicide and in a distinct pathological state known as "Posttraumatic Embitterment Disorder (PTED)". But despite the high prevalence rates, the detrimental effects on individuals and its forensic and societal importance, embitterment has yet to receive due scientific attention.
Drug Discovery in Japan: Investigating the Sources of Innovation by Sadao Nagaoka
English | PDF | 2019 | 333 Pages | ISBN : 9811389055 | 6.3 MB
This book analyzes the drug-discovery process in Japan, based on detailed case studies of 12 groups of 15 innovative drugs. It covers the first statin in the world up to the recent major breakthrough in cancer therapy, the recent immune checkpoint inhibitor, the scientific discovery for which a 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Prof. Tasuku Honjo, Kyoto University. The book shows the pervasive high uncertainty in drug discovery: frequent occurrences of unexpected difficulties, discontinuations, serendipities, and good luck, significantly because drug discovery starts when the underlying science is incomplete.
Diversity in Global Mental Health: Gender, Lifespan, Access to Care, Treatment and Social Strata by Sabine Bährer-Kohler
English | PDF | 2019 | 98 Pages | ISBN : 3030291111 | 2.3 MB
Mental illness occurs in all communities, regardless of social status, gender, race, or culture. Despite this, research in mental health historically has been biased towards Western-centric heterosexual male models of disease. Many models of service have excluded sexual and ethnic minorities and may not have been inclusive of different cultures or spiritual approaches. All of these factors may in turn isolate these communities and thus lead to an increased vulnerability to disease.
