Различные книги в жанре Прочая образовательная литератураCognitive Behavior Therapies. A Guidebook for Practitioners
This comprehensive book showcases different approaches to cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and focuses on the implementation of these various theories in real-world practice. Following an overview of cognitive therapy, practitioners and scholars discuss behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, multimodal therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness. Each theory highlighted includes a profile of the theorist(s), an overview of the theory, a discussion of the therapeutic process, an array of targeted interventions, a verbatim case transcript, an analysis of the limitations of the theory, and reflective sidebars to facilitate learning. The final chapter presents a single case study discussed from the perspective of each particular theory.
Infrared Thermal Imaging. Fundamentals, Research and Applications
This new up-to-date edition of the successful handbook and ready reference retains the proven concept of the first, covering basic and advanced methods and applications in infrared imaging from two leading expert authors in the field. All chapters have been completely revised and expanded and a new chapter has been added to reflect recent developments in the field and report on the progress made within the last decade. In addition there is now an even stronger focus on real-life examples, with 20% more case studies taken from science and industry. For ease of comprehension the text is backed by more than 590 images which include graphic visualizations and more than 300 infrared thermography figures. The latter include many new ones depicting, for example, spectacular views of phenomena in nature, sports, and daily life.
Fußball, Fashion, Flachbildschirme. Die neueste Kunststoffgeneration
"Smart Polymers" oder clevere Materialien wollen Wissenschaftler heute entwickeln, d. h. Werkstoffe, die ihre Eigenschaften selbsttatig an die wechselnden au?eren Umwelteinflussen anpassen. Tolle Erfindungen, wie Gebaude und Brucken, die sich wahrend eines Erdbebens selbsttatig verstarken und entstandene Risse umgehend wieder verschlie?en, sind in greifbare Nahe geruckt. Unseren Alltag haben beispielsweise schon folgende Polymere erobert, ohne dass wir uns daruber im Klaren sind: OLEDs: Platz ist auch in der kleinsten Hutte – Flachbildschirme machen es moglich. Polyurethan (PUR): Statt Land unter – Kleber druber. Kustenschutz mit dem «Orkankleber» PUR. Silicone: Sicherheit durch Airbags. Siliconbeschichtungen sind rei?fest, hitze- und alterungsbestandig, einfach perfekt. Makrolon: der Siegeszug eines klar durchsichtigen Kunststoffs. Medizinische Gerate und Stadiondacher: alles aus einer Hand.
Ductile Shear Zones. From Micro- to Macro-scales
The elucidation of the mechanisms and kinematics of shear zone deformation, at both local and regional scales, is the subject of a great deal of interest to scientists in the hydrocarbon industry, in seismology, and in structural geology more generally. This book comprises a collection of five theoretical and twelve regional contributions to the subject from a number of leading researchers in the field, with particular emphasis on work carried out in the Indian subcontinent. The book will be invaluable to advances students and researchers involved in the kinematics of shear.
Automation Solutions for Analytical Measurements. Concepts and Applications
The first book dedicated specifically to automated sample preparation and analytical measurements, this timely and systematic overview not only covers biological applications, but also environmental measuring technology, drug discovery, and quality assurance. Following a critical review of realized automation solutions in biological sciences, the book goes on to discuss special requirements for comparable systems for analytical applications, taking different concepts into consideration and with examples chosen to illustrate the scope and limitations of each technique.
Introduction to Cosmetic Formulation and Technology

Trotzdem Genial. Darwin, Nietzsche, Hawking und Co.
HEINRICH ZANKL UND KATJA BETZ LADEN EIN ZU DEN PARALYMPICS DER WISSENSCHAFT! Stephen Hawking ist wohl der bekannteste Wissenschaftler mit Handicap weltweit. Doch es gibt sehr viele gro?e Denker und Forscher, die korperlich oder psychisch beeintrachtigt waren: Darwins Symptome deuten auf eine Nerven?schwache hin, bei Einstein vermuten Wissenschaftler eine Variante des Asperger-Syndroms, Freud war suchtkrank und Edison schwerhorig, Marx litt unter Karbunkeln, und Nietzsches Personlichkeitsverfall konnte an einer Neurosyphilis gelegen haben. DAS >WHO IS WHO< DER GEISTES- UND NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN – MAL ANDERS Die etwas anderen Paralympics, die uns Zankl und Betz hier prasentieren, sind beeindruckend und uberraschend zugleich. Denn in Trotzdem genial ist das Who is Who der Geistes- und Naturwissenschaftler versammelt. Da lernen wir etwa den Kinderarzt Oliver Semler kennen, der zur Glasknochenkrankheit forscht, an der er auch selbst erkrankt ist, oder die Tierwissenschaftlerin Temple Grandin. Sie ist Autistin und bemerkte, dass sie mit Tieren viel besser umgehen konnte als mit Menschen. Sie entwickelte unter Anderem tiergerechtere Anlagen zur Haltung von Kuhen. Durch die Verfilmung ihres Lebens wurde sie einem breiten Publikum bekannt, genauso wie John Nash, der schizophrene Nobelpreistrager und Mitentwickler der Spieltheorie.
