Shamans Among Us: Schizophrenia, Shamanism and the Evolutionary Origins of Religion

By: Joseph Polimeni

Schizophrenia is one of the most enigmatic human experiences. While it can cause terrible distress, it doesn't fit the mold of a classic medical disease. In Shamans Among Us, Joseph Polimeni shows that today's schizophrenia patients are no less than the modern manifestation of tribal shamans, people vital to the success of early human cultures. Spanning human history and including discussions of evolution, the definition of disease, and the nature of psychosis, Shamans Among Us is the most detailed and comprehensive evolutionary theory yet assembled to explain a specific psychiatric diagnosis. "Joseph Polimeni's scholarly book challenges several traditional concepts of both evolutionary biology and medicine. I strongly recommend it to all those who dare to think outside the box." - Martin Brüne, MD, author of Textbook of Evolutionary Psychiatry.

An Unworthy Future

An Unworthy Future

By: Joseph Toomey

It is difficult to find an area of public policy more plagued by misunderstanding than energy policy. Even worse, every time the subject is raised, we are obligated to get mired in pointless arguments about the weather. This book helps set the record straight. Not convinced? Consider some of these inconvenient truths: The cost of green energy climate remediation is anywhere from 10 to 1,000 times greater than the damage from the climate change it attempts to alleviate. Obama's carbon tax would cost Americans $1.2 trillion over just ten years, but would only reduce the midrange three-degree modeled twenty-second-century global temperature increase by 0.038 degrees Celsius. This is not another skeptical global warming polemic, but an economic evaluation of how and why green energy will fail. A thoroughly researched, heavily documented book by an expert in his field, it will demonstrate in meticulous detail how wasteful and economically inefficient Obama's green energy future will be compared to other worthy alternatives.

The Special Educator’s Guide to Behavior Management

By: Paul Mooney,Joseph B. Ryan

This accessible, practitioner-focused textbook details a comprehensive classroom behavior management framework that is easy to understand and implement within a K-12 classroom. Influenced by decades of classroom teaching and special education teacher candidate preparation experiences, the book features effective evidence-based strategies designed to both prevent problem behaviors from occurring in classrooms and address challenging behaviors that presently exist or may arise. Each of the book’s four sections show readers step-by-step how to develop, implement, and evaluate a personalized behavior management plan that best meets the unique needs of their classrooms which can vary tremendously in both size and types of students served. From the first page to the last, this new text addresses the reader in a friendly, personal way in an effort to enhance accessibility and encourage them to want to understand the "what and how" of each strategy and/or process and how it relates to the overall behavioral framework laid out in section one. Ideal for both current and prospective special educators, this book supports readers in developing their own comprehensive approach to classroom behavior management that can be implemented across grade levels.

Regularized Image Reconstruction in Parallel MRI with MATLAB

Regularized Image Reconstruction in Parallel MRI with MATLAB

By: Joseph Suresh Paul,Raji Susan Mathew

Regularization becomes an integral part of the reconstruction process in accelerated parallel magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI) due to the need for utilizing the most discriminative information in the form of parsimonious models to generate high quality images with reduced noise and artifacts. Apart from providing a detailed overview and implementation details of various pMRI reconstruction methods, Regularized image reconstruction in parallel MRI with MATLAB examples interprets regularized image reconstruction in pMRI as a means to effectively control the balance between two specific types of error signals to either improve the accuracy in estimation of missing samples, or speed up the estimation process. The first type corresponds to the modeling error between acquired and their estimated values. The second type arises due to the perturbation of k-space values in autocalibration methods or sparse approximation in the compressed sensing based reconstruction model. Features: Provides details for optimizing regularization parameters in each type of reconstruction. Presents comparison of regularization approaches for each type of pMRI reconstruction. Includes discussion of case studies using clinically acquired data. MATLAB codes are provided for each reconstruction type. Contains method-wise description of adapting regularization to optimize speed and accuracy. This book serves as a reference material for researchers and students involved in development of pMRI reconstruction methods. Industry practitioners concerned with how to apply regularization in pMRI reconstruction will find this book most useful.

Health Research in Nigeria

A Bibliometric Analysis

By: Joseph Abiodun Balogun

This book is the first authoritative study of the research output and scientific impact of Nigerian health academics, including those in the diaspora. Around the world, policymakers and academics measure the scientific impact of research at national and international levels using bibliometric measures. Unfortunately, there is limited data on scientists' research productivity and impact in developing countries, particularly in Africa. Therefore, normative bibliometric information from different countries is needed to address the challenges faced by scientists in Africa. This book contributes to filling this research gap. Additionally, the author addresses the controversies surrounding the use of bibliometrics in judging research productivity and offers recommendations to improve research systems.
