The Blood-Cerebrospinal Fluid Barrier - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Blood-Cerebrospinal Fluid Barrier - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Despite the existence of two barrier systems in the brain, research over the last century has mostly focused on the blood-brain barrier rather than on the blood-CSF barrier. Today, there is a greater understanding of the function of the blood-CSF barrier and of the choroid plexus, a tissue that is the primary site of this barrier. With the growing number of studies that focus on the role of the blood-CSF barrier in CNS homeostasis and neurological disorders, a modern overview of the blood-CSF barrier is long overdue. The Blood-Cerebrospinal Fluid Barrier is exclusively devoted to the blood-CSF barrier. Internationally renowned experts discuss the most recent progress in the field of choroid plexus physiology and update our knowledge of the function of the blood-CSF barrier. The book begins with an overview of the development and morphology of the choroid plexus, and then covers various aspects of its function, such as the regulation of choroidal blood flow, ion transport, and the production and transport of polypeptides. Following an extensive section on the role of the choroid plexus in CNS disorders, the final section discusses in vitro, in vivo, and in situ models of the blood-CSF barrier. This unique book analyzes a wealth of new research on the proven and potential roles of the choroid plexus/blood-CSF barrier in the brain. It is a valuable resource that will foster future studies in neuroscience, pharmacology, and toxicology.

Jewish Blood - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Jewish Blood - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book deals with the Jewish engagement with blood: animal and human, real and metaphorical. Concentrating on the meaning or significance of blood in Judaism, the book moves this highly controversial subject away from its traditional focus, exploring how Jews themselves engage with blood and its role in Jewish identity, ritual and culture. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, the book brings together a wide range of perspectives and covers communities in ancient Israel, Europe and America, as well as all major eras of Jewish history: biblical, Talmudic, medieval and modern. Providing historical, religious and cultural examples ranging from the "Blood Libel" through to the poetry of Uri Zvi Greenberg, this volume explores the deep continuities in thought and practice related to blood. Moreover, it examines the continuities and discontinuities between Jewish and Christian ideas and practices related to blood, many of which extend into the modern, contemporary period. The chapters look at not only the Jewish and Christian interaction, but the interaction between Jews and the individual national communities to which they belong, including the complex appropriation and rejection of European ideas and images undertaken by some Zionists, and then by the State of Israel. This broad-ranging and multidisciplinary work will be of interest to students of Jewish Studies, History and Religion.

Blood Revenge in Irregular Warfare - Emil Souleimanov - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Blood Revenge in Irregular Warfare - Emil Souleimanov - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book offers an original assessment of the ways in which the sociocultural code of blood revenge and its modern remnants shape irregular warfare. Despite being a common driver of communal violence, blood revenge has received little attention from scholars. With many civil wars and insurgencies occurring in areas where the custom lingers, strengthening our understanding of blood revenge is essential for discerning how conflicts change and evolve. Drawing upon extensive multidisciplinary evidence, this book is the first in the literature on civil war and insurgency to analyse the impact of blood revenge and its modern remnants on irregular warfare. Even when blood revenge undergoes erosion, its unregulated version still shapes the social fabric of insurgency, although in different ways than its institutionalised counterpart. At times of political instability, the presence of a culture of retaliation weighs heavily on the dynamics of violent mobilisation, target selection, recruitment, and disengagement. This book brings in evidence from dozens of conflicts, providing unprecedented insights into how a better understanding of blood revenge can improve military blueprints for irregular warfare. This book will be of much interest to students of insurgency, terrorism, military and strategic studies, anthropology, and sociology, as well as to decision-makers and irregular warfare professionals.

Red Blood Cell Aggregation - Herbert J. Meiselman - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Red Blood Cell Aggregation - Herbert J. Meiselman - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Red blood cells in humans—and most other mammals—have a tendency to form aggregates with a characteristic face-to-face morphology, similar to a stack of coins. Known as rouleaux , these aggregates are a normally occurring phenomenon and have a major impact on blood rheology. What is the underlying mechanism that produces this pattern? Does this really happen in blood circulation? And do these rouleaux formations have a useful function? The first book to offer a comprehensive review of the subject, Red Blood Cell Aggregation tackles these and other questions related to red blood cell (RBC) aggregates. The book covers basic, clinical, and physiological aspects of this important biophysical phenomenon and integrates these areas with concepts in bioengineering. It brings together state-of-the-art research on the determinants, mechanisms, and measurement and effects of RBC aggregation as well as on variations and comparative aspects. After an introductory overview, the book outlines factors and conditions that affect RBC aggregation. It presents the two hypotheses—the bridging model and the depletion model—that provide potential mechanisms for the adhesive forces that lead to the regular packing of the cells in rouleaux formations. The book also reviews the methods used to quantify RBC aggregation in vitro , focusing on their importance in clinical practice. Chapters discuss the effect of RBC aggregation on the in vitro rheology of blood as well as on tube flow. The book also looks at what happens in the circulation when red blood cells aggregate and examines variations due to physiological and pathophysiological challenges. The concluding chapter explores the formation of red blood cell aggregates in other mammals. Written by leading researchers in the field, this is an invaluable resource for basic science, medical, and clinical researchers; graduate stu

Assessment Engineering in Test Design - Richard Luecht - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Assessment Engineering in Test Design - Richard Luecht - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Assessment Engineering in Test Design presents an engineering-inspired, multi-disciplinary approach to the field of applied measurement that bridges the gap between the craft of item writing and test design, the statistical sophistication of psychometric methods for scale development and maintenance, and score interpretations. This book directly addresses the topic of “next generation” assessment design head-on by proposing a new perspective, a new understanding, of the challenge of designing, developing, and implementing large- (and small-) scale educational testing programs. It introduces Assessment Engineering (AE) as a principled approach to test design where human judgment and creative license during test blueprinting and item writing are replaced with carefully developed cognitive task models that can generate highly consistent test forms that support intended statistical score scale properties and interpretations over time. In doing so, it shows how AE integrates key technologies and design principles from industrial engineering, cognitive science, information technology, machine learning and artificial intelligence, data science, statistical quality control, and advanced psychometrics to the practice of test design and development. Ultimately, this integrated approach offers improved and more consistent overall assessment quality; implementation of highly structured designs and scalable automation to reduce item production costs; reduction of item pretesting costs and exposure; improved calibration and scale maintenance over time; and more consistent generation and deployment of very high-quality, low-cost test items to meet both low- and high-volume production demands over time. Written by a major contributor to the literature on test design and scoring, Assessment Engineering in Test Design is an essential read for all students of psychology and related disciplines as well as test developers and psychometricians.

Test Theory for A New Generation of Tests - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Test Theory for A New Generation of Tests - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The editors of this volume suggest that there are missing elements in the conceptualization upon which standard test theory is based. Those elements are models for just how people know what they know and do what they can do, and the ways in which they increase these capacities. Different models are useful for different purposes; therefore, broader or alternative student models may be appropriate. The chapters in this volume consider a variety of directions in which standard test theory might be extended. Topics covered include: the role of test theory in light of recent work in cognitive and educational psychology, test design, student modeling, test analysis, and the integration of assessment and instruction.
