Minimal Brain Dysfunction A Prospective Study

The concept of Minimal Brain Dysfunction (a previous term for ADHD) has had a tumultuous and some would say checkered history. Originally published in 1981 this title was one of a series of volumes dealing with specific developmental problems in children whose mothers registered for prenatal care in the Collaborative Perinatal Project (NCPP) of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke (NINCDS). In this volume relationships between symptoms of minimal brain dysfunction and more than 300 prenatal and postnatal variables are examined in a cohort of nearly 30 000 7-year-old children. Despite greater understanding more recently diagnosis and treatment continue to cause controversy. This is an early investigation into the concept of MBD and its causes today it can be read in its historical context. | Minimal Brain Dysfunction A Prospective Study

Choice and Circumstance

First published in 1986. Forty five percent of black women have at least one child by the time they are turn twenty compared to 19 percent of white women. Eight-six percent of the births to black teens occurred to unmarried mothers compared to 30 percent among whites. Research shows that teenage childbearing has negative medical social and economic consequences and that women who first gave birth as teenagers are more likely to raise their families in poverty. In Choice and Circumstance the authors explore tree factors underlying the racial differences in the incidence of early childbearing; information about sex pregnancy and contraception; need for family planning and abortion services; and motivation for postponing parenthood including aspirations for schooling employment plans and desire for children within marriage. They consider which teens postpone sex and pregnancy and why and whether the kinds of motivation necessary to prevent early pregnancy vary by race in the United Sates perhaps explaining the race differences in early childbearing.

Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

The usage of building energy accounts for 30–40% of total energy consumption in developed countries exceeding the amount for industry or transportation. Around 50% energy for building services is contributed by heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. More importantly both building and HVAC energy consumptions are predicted to increase in the next two decades. Windows are considered as the least energy-efficient components of buildings. Therefore smart windows are becoming increasingly important as they are capable of reducing HVAC energy usage by tuning the transmitted sunlight in a smart and favoured way: blocking solar irradiation on hot days while letting it pass through on cold days. Compared with other type of smart windows thermochromic windows have the unique advantages of cost-effectiveness rational stimulus and passive response. This book covers fabrication of vanadium dioxide–based smart windows discusses various strategies to enhance their performance and shares perspectives from the top scientists in this particular field. | Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

Tracing the History of Contemporary Taiwan’s Aboriginal Groups From the Periphery to the Centre

Using archaeological evidence the author investigates the prehistories of Austronesian migrants to Taiwan and their connections to contemporary peoples in Taiwan. Due to its unique geographic location Taiwan has played a significant role in various peoples’ maritime migrations and the process of cultural interactions for tens of thousands of years. Within the history of humankind Taiwan has also evidenced a high degree of cultural continuity. Paleolithic people had already settled on the island at least 30 000 years ago but Taiwan only entered the historical period as recently as the 17th century. Before this there was a long and continuous development over the prehistoric period. To this day there are at least 20 different indigenous ethnic groups on the island totalling over half a million people all of whom speak Austronesian languages. Investigating the archaeology of abandoned villages Kuo takes the Paiwan and Sanhe cultures as key case studies of these groups. This book provides valuable insight for historians and archaeologists of Taiwan and scholars of prehistoric Austronesian migration. | Tracing the History of Contemporary Taiwan’s Aboriginal Groups From the Periphery to the Centre

China's African Challenges

China‘s relations with African nations have changed dramatically over the past decade. African oil now accounts for more than 30% of China‘s oil imports and China is Africa‘s second-largest single-country trading partner as well as a leading lender and infrastructure investor on the continent. Yet these developments are bringing challenges not only for Africa and the West but for China as well. This book examines these challenges considering Africa as a testing ground both for Chinese companiesgoing global and for a Chinese government that is increasingly having to deal with issues beyond its shores and immediate control. What does China need to do to protect and develop its African engagements against a backdrop of mounting African expectations concerns from Western actors in Africa and the rival presence of other emerging actors? How sustainable is the momentum that China has established in its African ventures? China‘s adaptations to the challenges it is facing in Africa are examined and assessed as are the implications of these changes for China Africa and the West. China‘s African engagements are certainly changing Africa but could they also be changing China? | China's African Challenges
