Gamma Cameras for Interventional and Intraoperative Imaging

Gamma Cameras for Interventional and Intraoperative Imaging

Gamma cameras are traditionally large devices that are situated in nuclear medicine departments but recent advances in detector design have enabled the production of compact gamma cameras that allow nuclear imaging at the patient bedside and in the operating theatre. Gamma Cameras for Interventional and Intraoperative Imaging is the first book to cover this new area of imaging and provides a unique insight into the experimental and clinical use of small field of view gamma cameras in hospitals. This book explores advances in the design and operation of compact gamma cameras and conducts a thorough review of current SFOV systems before exploring the clinical applications of the technology. It is an essential reference for surgeons operating theatre staff clinical scientists (medical physicists) technologists nuclear physicians and radiologists whose patients could benefit from this technology.

Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate Pharmacological and Functional Aspects

Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate Pharmacological and Functional Aspects

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) has come a long way since early experiments in animals where it was found to induce a sleep-like state and from its use in general anaesthesia in human subjects. It has been found to be a naturally-occurring compound in the brain a metabolite of GABA the emerging ubiquitous inhibitory neurotransmitter. This has opened up a completely new line of research in an effort to establish a function for GHB. Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate: Pharmacological and Functional Aspects has brought together the combined expertise of many of the leading authorities on the biochemistry physiology and pharmacology of GHB in the central nervous system. Each chapter is an in-depth review of the field and the book itself will appeal to all neurobiologists interested in neurotransmitter mechanisms as well as to clinicians and other health-care workers interested in this fascinating chemical. | Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate Pharmacological and Functional Aspects

Perceiving Truth and Ceasing Doubts What Can We Learn from 40 Years of China’s Reform and Opening-Up?

Perceiving Truth and Ceasing Doubts What Can We Learn from 40 Years of China’s Reform and Opening-Up?

China has experienced tremendous developmental success since its reform and opening-up policy in 1978. What has contributed to China’s high-speed economic growth? What lessons can be learned from China’s successful case? What might be the challenges that China would face on its path to becoming a high-income country? These are some critical questions this book addresses. Based on the facts and economic logic this book briefly narrates the history of China’s successful development in the past 40 years and explains why China's reform and opening-up has boosted the high-speed growth of its economy. Recognizing the change in the stage of economic development the author reveals the emerging challenges facing China when transitioning from a middle-income country to a high-income country. He proposes that the country should transition from the demographic dividend to reform dividend to sustain the long-term development. With its scholarly analysis and plain language this book would not only attract scholars and students in economics and China studies but also readers interested in the development of the Chinese economy. | Perceiving Truth and Ceasing Doubts What Can We Learn from 40 Years of China’s Reform and Opening-Up?

Growing Up in a Changing Society

Growing Up in a Changing Society

The final reader in the Child Development in Social Context series shows how the study of child development is inevitably bound up in more ephemeral cultural ideas about the nature and needs of children and in the educational practices that rise from these ideas. Some readings point to the dangers which can arise from the meeting of science and cultural values using for illustration studies of the role of psychological theory in reinforcing social attitudes to child care inside and outside the family. Other readings look at children's initiation into that relatively recent cultural invention the school and the relationship with their learning at home. There are studies of their social development in classroom and playground with particular emphasis on ethnic relationships. | Growing Up in a Changing Society

Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Focusing on notions of diaspora identity and agency this book examines ethnicity in war-torn Sri Lanka. It highlights the historical development and negotiation of a new identification of Up-country Tamil amidst Sri Lanka’s violent ethnic politics. Over the past thirty years Up-country (Indian) Tamils generally have tried to secure their vision of living within a multi-ethnic Sri Lanka not within Tamil Eelam the separatist dream that ended with the civil war in 2009. Exploring Sri Lanka within the deep history of colonial-era South Asian plantation diasporas the book argues Up-country Tamils form a diaspora next-door to their ancestral homeland. It moves beyond simplistic Sinhala-Tamil binaries and shows how Sri Lanka’s ethnic troubles actually have more in common with similar battles that diasporic Indians have faced in Fiji and Trinidad than with Hindu-Muslim communalism in neighbouring India Pakistan and Bangladesh. Shedding new light on issues of agency citizenship displacement and re-placement within the formation of diasporic communities and identities this book demonstrates the ways that culture workers including politicians trade union leaders academics and NGO workers have facilitated the development of a new identity as Up-country Tamil. It is of interest to academics working in the fields of modern South Asia diaspora violence post-conflict nations religion and ethnicity. | Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over

Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over

We think of cults as bizarre inexplicable or otherworldly places that only strange people inhabit but cults and other abusive and high-demand groups (and relationships) are actually quite commonplace. In fact the behaviors social pressures and authoritarian structures that create cults exist to a greater or lesser extent in every human relationship and every human group. In the first in-depth research of its kind the author interviewed sixty-five people who were born in or grew up in thirty-nine different cultic groups spanning more than a dozen countries. What’s especially interesting about these individuals is that they each left the cult on their own without outside help or internal support. In Escaping Utopia: Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over the authors craft Lalich’s original and groundbreaking research into an accessible and engaging book the first of its kind focusing on this particular population. | Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over
