It is 2003 in Orlando, Florida, where twenty-two-year-old Alexandra Moody ekes out a living as a bartender, fretting over her bad boyfriend choices almost as much as the lingering effects of the computer virus. A virus that four years earlier wrecked global online networks, causing universal panic and the near-total collapse of economies worldwide. Alex's mundane existence is quickly thrown into turmoil after a series of bizarre encounters and horrific events seem to indicate she has a much bigger role to play in the country's future than she is willing to admit. Alex maintains "I'm just a girl," despite the growing evidence to the contrary and the voices she hears in her head telling her something quite different. Alex's raw and unfiltered narration take the reader on a strange journey filled with unforgettable characters, emotional upheaval, and unexpected twists leading to a suspenseful and surprising conclusion. Immensely readable and often wickedly funny, I'm Just a Girl is a totally original debut about one young woman's quest to find the best within herself.
CAMDEX-DS by Sarah Ball,Tony Holland,Felicia A. Huppert,Peter Treppner,Karen Dodd Pdf
CAMDEX-DS is a comprehensive assessment tool for diagnosing dementia in people with Down's syndrome (a group known to be at particular risk of dementia). Based upon CAMDEX-R, CAMDEX-DS has been modified for use with intellectual disability. In order to differentiate decline due to dementia or other mental disorders from pre-existing impairment, particular emphasis has been placed on establishing change from the individual's best level of functioning. The pack is comprised of a structured informant interview, a direct assessment of the patient/participant (CAMCOG), and guidance for diagnosis and post-diagnosis intervention, providing a reliable way to identify dementia (and to differentiate it from other common disorders). It may be used in community settings by mental health professionals as part of the diagnostic process, or to formalize diagnosis in the context of research. Use of the CAMCOG provides the means for ongoing neuropsychological evaluation and informs future support and intervention strategies.

Artificial Immune Systems by Emma Hart,Chris McEwan,Jon Timmis,Andy Hone Pdf
Arti?cial immune systems (AIS) is a diverse and maturing area of research that bridges the disciplines of immunology and computation. The original research impetus in AIS had a clear focus on applying immunological principles to c- putationalproblemsinpracticaldomainssuchascomputersecurity,datamining and optimization. As the ?eld has matured, it has diversi?ed such that we now see a growing interest in formalizing the theoretical properties of earlier - proaches, elaborating underlying relationships between applied computational models and those from theoretical immunology, as well a return to the roots of the domain in which the methods of computer science are being applied to - munological modelling problems. Following the trends in the ?eld, the ICARIS conference intends to provide a forum for all these perspectives. The 9th InternationalConference on AIS (ICARIS 2010)built on the success of previous years, providing a convenient vantage point for broader re?ection as it returned to Edinburgh, the venue of the Second ICARIS in 2003. This time, the conference was hosted by Edinburgh Napier University at its Craiglockhart Campus, recently reopened after extensive refurbishment which has resulted in a stunning building and state-of-the-art facilities. The extent to which the ?eld has matured over the preceding years is clear; a substantial track of theor- ical research now underpins the discipline. The applied stream has expanded in its outlook, and has examples of AIS algorithms being applied across a wide spectrum of practicalproblems,rangingfrom sensornetworksto semi-conductor design.
Relke (women's and gender studies, U. of Saskatchewan) divides her book into what she calls three chronological "moments in feminist ecocritical consciousness": poetic, ecological, and ecocritical. Essays included under poetic consciousness are preoccupied with woman's search for subjectivity in a literary universe that can't accommodate women poets of nature, examining, for example, Atwood's Journals of Susanna Moodie. To ecological consciousness, Relke assigns essays examining how Dorothy Livesay, Isabella Valancy Crawford and Daphne Marlatt understand the metaphor, woman = nature, and how they use it to address green concerns. Lastly, essays under ecocritical consciousness focus on the critical act itself and on the masculine construction of Canadian literary history. The book's constant theme, writes Relke, "concerns the struggle by women poets to make the best of a bad idea--namely, patriarchy." Canadian card order number: C99-910815-8.
