Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from R/V Atlantis Cruise 260 stations

The cores described here were taken during the R/V Atlantis Cruise 260 from October until November 1960 by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution at the Muir Seamount. A total of 27 cores and dredges were recovered and are available at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for sampling and study.

Observation of manganese nodules on the Muir Seamount during Atlantis Cruise 260

Seamounts are very effectively studied by deep-sea photography. Each photograph can be considered as a sample point when used in connection with bathymetric surveys, dredge samples, and cores, thus making it possible to delineate and map geologic and biologic zones on a seamount. Seamounts transcend through a great depth range and are characterized by minimal sedimentation which results in exciting and photogenic differences of environment over a short distance, as typified by our studies of Great Meteor and the New England Seamounts.

Iowa Department of Transportation Fiscal Year 2008 Report of Savings by Using Video Conferencing Through Iowa Communications Network to the Iowa General Assembly Pursuant to Iowa Code § II 84 Acts and Joint Resolutions Enacted at the 1994 Regular Session of the 75th General Assembly of the State of Iowa Iowa Code §8D.10 Report of Savings by State Agencies

Emoções positivas e motivação na reabilitação biopsicossocial

RESUMO: O presente estudo tem como principal objectivo verificar o fluxo emocional e a motivação para a mudança num programa de reabilitação biopsicossocial de alcoolismo e toxicodependências, com a duração de quatro semanas. Para esse efeito, procedeu-se à recolha da amostra de 30 participantes dentro do programa, utilizando para avaliar o fluxo emocional os relatos de episódios emocionais, o Teste de Positividade (TP), a Analogical Emotional Scale (AES), o Subjective Well-being (SWB), o Controlo Percebido Subjectivo (CPS) em três momentos distintos do programa, pelo que para avaliar a motivação foi utilizada a escala SOCRATES 8D no inicio e no final do programa de reabilitação. A teoria argumenta a existência de um aumento na satisfação pessoal e nas emoções positivas durante o processo de mudança, ou seja, quando o processo terapêutico decorre de forma favorável. Os resultados confirmam a existência de uma evolução linear positiva no TP, como também no SWB e CPS. Contudo não foi totalmente confirmado um aumento positivo da motivação, pelo que os resultados apenas demonstraram diferenças significativas na subescala Ambivalência da escala SOCRATES 8D, verificando-se um decréscimo acentuado entre os dois momentos, o que se revela favorável para o processo de mudança desejado no programa. ABSTRACT: The main objective of this study is to verify the emotional flow and the motivation for change process in a bio-psychosocial rehabilitation program for alcoholism and drug addictions, with a duration of four weeks. To this end, we proceeded to collect the sample of 30 participants in the program, to evaluate the emotional flow we use the emotional reports, the Positivity Test (PT), the Analogical Emotional Scale (AES), the Subjective Well-Being (SWB), the Subjective Perceived Control (PSC) in three separate moments of the program, to assess the motivation scale was used the SOCRATES 8D scale at the beginning and in the end of the rehabilitation program. The theory argues that there is an increase in personal satisfaction and positive emotions during the change process, when the therapeutic process runs optimally. The results confirm the existence of a positive linear trend in the PT, in SWB and CPS. However it was not totally confirmed an positive increase in motivation, so the results only showed significant differences in ambivalence subscale of the SOCRATES 8D, and there is a sharp decrease between the two moments, which proves favorable for the desired process of change in the program.

Target organ damage: how to detect it and how to treat it?

The early detection of cardiac organ damage in clinical practice is primordial for cardiovascular risk profiling of patients with hypertension. In this respect the determination of microalbuminuria is very appealing because it increasingly appears to be the most cost-effective means to identify cardiovascular and renal complications. Considering the treatment of patients with target organ damage, blockers of the renin-angiotensin system have a key position as they are very effective in regressing left ventricular hypertrophy, lowering urinary albumin excretion and delaying the progression of nephropathy. In high-risk patients with atherosclerosis, the use of a blocker of the renin-angiotensin system is also appealing, and it appears increasingly judicious to combine such a blocker with a calcium antagonist whenever required to control blood pressure.
