From Free Radicals and Spin-Chemistry Over Spin-Dynamics and Hyperpolarization to Biology and Materials Science
This special issue of ZPC is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Kev Salikhov, a prominent scientist who has made seminal contributions to spin chemistry, chemical kinetics, spin hyperpolarization and magnetic resonance. Altogether there are 41 scientific papers; for this reason, the guest editors have decided to publish three subsequent issues. Each issue is focused on a particular field, which is closely related to research interests of Salikhov or was even seeded by his work. As the following papers clearly demonstrate, the initial seed of Salikhov fell on a very fruitful soil and has grown to a huge and impressive scientific tree with branches ranging from fundamental science to applications in biochemistry and materials science
Untersuchungen zum Vorkommen von Laubfröschen im Kreis Höxter : Kartierungsergebnisse in den MTB/Q 4121, 4122, 4221/1 und 2, 4321, 4322, 4421
In Bezug auf die potentiellen Biotope läßt sich zusammenfassend feststellen, dass in den 20 untersuchten Quadranten neun Gewässer vom Laubfrosch (Hyla arborea) besiedelt sind. In 53 Gewässern ergaben sich im Untersuchungszeitraum jedoch keine aktuellen Hinweise. Die Ergebnisse sind in 5 Tabellen zusammengefaßt
Zum Geleit
Mit der Herausgabe eines kreisbezogenen Florenatlas auf der Basis des feinen Viertelquandrantenrasters zeigt der Naturkundliche Verein Egge-Weser (NEW) e.V. einmal mehr, dass er schon immer der Zeit voraus war, denn in dieser Form existiert landesweit nichts Vergleichbares. Gewidmet ist dieses umfangreiche Werk unserem Ehrenvorsitzenden Kurt Preywisch, der am 23. Juni 1997 sein 80. Lebensjahr vollendet. Das Gebiet zwischen Egge und Weser ist für den aus Böhmen stammenden Naturwissenschaftler zu seiner wirklichen Heimat geworden. Seit mehr als vier Jahrzehnten geht das Erkennen von Naturphänomenen und Umweltproblemen, das Entwickeln von Bearbeitungskonzepten und das Rekrutieren von Mitstreitern im Kreis Höxter im Wesentlichen von ihm aus. In seltener Weise hat er es verstanden, Menschen an die Natur heranzuführen und sie für seine Sache zu gewinnen und zu begeistern
Der Ornithologe und Naturschützer Franz-Josef Laudage (1931-1999)
Am 4. April 1999 verstarb unser langjähriges Mitglied Franz-Josef Laudage im Alter von 67 Jahren nach langer und geduldig ertragener Krankheit. Fast zwei Jahrzehnte hat er die Naturschutzarbeit im Kreis Höxter ganz wesentlich mitgeprägt. Obwohl seine Hauptaktivitäten mit und im NABU (vormals DBV) stattfanden, trat er mit der Übernahme des DBV-Kreisvorsitzes 1982 auch dem NEW bei, um ein deutliches Zeichen der Verbundenheit der beiden Institutionen zu demonstrieren. Als Interessensgebiete gab er Naturschutz und Ornithologie an, was im Rückblick auch wirkliche Bestätigung fand. Seine Vita ist geprägt von seiner Vielseitigkeit und Leistungsbereitschaft
The Importance of Open-Space Value for Land Use Policy in Hawaii
It was estimated that the open-space value of 15,000 acres of former sugarcane land on Oahu would be worth more than $21 million to residents of the island, based on a 1995 survey. Only 6 percent of the Oahu residents surveyed preferred a development use over an open-space use. A formal method of accounting for open-space value needs to be developed, or more land may be zoned urban than is socially desirable
Robust conversion of singlet spin order in coupled spin-1/2 pairs by adiabatically switched RF-fields
We propose a robust and highly efficient NMR technique to create singlet spin
order from longitudinal spin magnetization in coupled spin-1/2 pairs and to
perform backward conversion (singlet order)magnetization. In this method
we exploit adiabatic switching of an RF-field in order to drive transitions
between the singlet state and the triplet states of a spin pair under
study. We demonstrate that the method works perfectly for both strongly and
weakly coupled spin pairs, providing a conversion efficiency between the
singlet spin order and magnetization, which is equal to the theoretical
maximum. We anticipate that the proposed technique is useful for generating
long-lived singlet order, for preserving spin hyperpolarization and for
assessing singlet spin order in nearly equivalent spin pairs in specially
designed molecules and in low-field NMR studies.Comment: 21 pages, 11 figure
Keeping Faith: The Potential Role of a Chaplain to Address the Spiritual Needs of Maltreated Children and Advise Child Abuse Multi-Disciplinary Teams
When the Child Abuser Has a Bible: Investigating Child Maltreatment Sanctioned or Condoned by a Religious Leader
In many cases of child sexual and physical abuse, perpetrators use religious or spiritual themes to justify their abuse of a child. Although no known religion in modern culture suggests that sexual abuse is condoned or taught as part of its tenets, some church leaders engage in conduct suggesting the child is equally, if not more to blame than the perpetrator, while also urging immediate reconciliation between the perpetrator and victim. In more than one case, pastors have asked children to confess their own “sins” in being sexually abused and have even required children to “confess” in front of an entire congregation. Even more frequently, pastors and other church workers mandated to report instances of child maltreatment simply ignore the law and take concerted efforts to keep the matter “in house.”
This article will address the most common issues associated with investigating child abuse in environments where the abusers exploit their religious authority to perpetuate the abuse. This article will also present 17 tips for investigators who investigate such religiously charged and complex cases
