Product Description
This book has as its objective the synthesis of the seminal scientific articles on microbial deterioration of cultural heritage materials and state-of-the-art methods of conservation and preservation of these materials against microbial deterioration. Each section of Microbial Deterioration and Conservation of Cultural Heritage Materials focuses on a specific material (e.g. paper, wood, or metal) and separate chapters describe the essential biodeterioration processes, while other chapters will describe the most important modern conservation methods used to diagnose, treat and prevent deterioration. This book describes both the scientific methods as well as the implications and applications for conservators. ... Read more

From the supplier: A variety of Republican and conservative leaders believe conservatives in the 1990s have failed to capitalize on the influence and impact of Ronald Reagan's presidency. Reagan united conservatives and showed them how to win on important issues. Without his leadership, the conservative movement has become fragmented. Reagan was successful because he was willing to take risks while standing firm on his core beliefs. Conservatives since Reagan have floundered, unable to articulate a Reagan-style vision.

From the author: Objective: This study had three purposes: (1) to assess the underlying factor structure Of a battery of neuropsychological tests putatively measuring executive cognitive functioning (ECF) in a sample of boys at high and low risk for substance abuse/dependence: (2) to assess the relationship between EcF and aggressive behavior; and (3) to determine the interactive effects Of ECF and a family history (FH) of substance dependence on aggressive behavior. Method: Multiple measures of ECF and aggressive behavior were used to test these relationships in a sample of 291 10-12 year old boys with and without a FH of substance dependence. Results: Analyses indicated that the measures of ECF loaded on one factor. ECF was related to aggressive behavior even when accounting for IQ and SES. The interaction between ECF and a EH Of substance dependence was also associated with aggressive behavior. Conclusions: The central finding of this investigation indicates thaI ECF and its interaction with a EH of substance dependence are associated with aggressive behavior. These results suggest that violence prevention and treatment efforts in high risk groups should incorporate cognitive habilitation focusing on training in ECFs. (J. Stud. Alcohol 57: 352-359.1996)

From the supplier: Executive cognitive functioning (ECF) defects and aggressive behavior are correlated in children aged ten to 12 years with psychoactive substance dependence disorder. The relationship is seen only under strong provocation and is absent in the presence of mild provocation. ECF and aggression are related even after family history, IQ and socioeconomic status are taken into account. ECF is also related to oppositional defiant disorder. ECF measures show a slight difference in results and are good unidimensional predictors for aggressive behavior in preadolescent boys.

A musician applauds
The graphics in this remarkable little book are cleverly designed to awaken imagination to the psychic and physical kinematics behind resultant images. Thus the authors are able to hide their calculus on a single pagein the Appendix and concentrate on the visual calisthenics involved intranslating quantitative data into meaning. Seating themselves comfortablyin Chaos, they succeed in making conventional order appear strange andwonderful "accidents," and thus enable us to think about it withoutconventional straight-jackets. I can't imagine an academic study whichthese ideas would not enrich. A valuable introduction to the newmillennium, and an indispensable "traveling companion."
