Short-term psychotherapy and graduate training in psychology.

We present the thesis that the psychology internship and the university-affiliated practicum site offer a special opportunity to train new professionals in brief psychotherapy. The reasons for this include (a) a growing client demand for time-limited treatment and hence psychology's responsibility to prepare professionals in this mode of intervention, (b) a period of residence that can be comfortably tailored to training in short-term psychotherapy, and (c) trainees who are eager to learn a pragmatic form of intervention. Training considerations are outlined and include client selection variables, therapist/trainee considerations, and supervision/teaching. Conclusions are offered and emphasize the agency's and supervisors' need to feel a commitment to train in this modality. Likewise, the program should seek trainees who are eager to learn brief psychotherapy. In order to maximize the opportunity for a successful experience, careful consideration should be given to client selection criteria.

Die Mikroflora eines Langzeit-Sauerteiges

Zusammenfassung Die Milchsäurebakterien und Hefen eines kommerziellen Sauerteiges wurden isoliert und identifiziert. Dieser Sauerteig wird erhalten, wenn Roggenmehl und Wasser für mindestens 48 h gesäuert und wöchentlich in neues unsteriles Substrat überimpft wird. Alle gefundenen Milchsäurebakterien waren heterofermentativ, 2/3 von ihnen hatten ein enges Substratspektrum, bildeten Ammoniak aus Arginin, waren Acetat-auxotroph und produziertenl-Lactat und Ethanol. Eine kleinere Gruppe vergor mehr als 15 (von 49 getesteten) Zuckern, bildete kein Ammoniak aus Arginin und produziertedl-Lactat. Alle untersuchten Stämme enthielten in der Zellwand Lysin-d-Asparagin als Interpeptid-Brücke des Peptidoglykans. Alle Hefe-Isolate ergaben gleiche Resultate im Zucker-Assimilationstest und waren Cycloheximid-empfindlich. Der Hefestamm wurde alsSaccharomyces cerevisiae Hansen identifiziert.

The microflora of a sourdough developed during extended souring phases

Summary The lactic acid bacteria and yeasts of a commercial sourdough were isolated and identified. This sourdough is obtained when rye flour and water are fermented for at least 48 h with weekly transfer to new unsterile substrate. All of the bacteria were heterofermentative, two-thirds of them had a narrow substrate spectrum, formed ammonia from arginine, were acetate-auxotrophic and producedl-lactate and ethanol. A minor group fermented more than 15 sugars (of 49 tested), were unable to form ammonia from arginine and produceddl-lactate. Of the strains tested all contained lysine-D-asparagine as an interpeptide bridge in the peptidoglycan of the cell wall. Each of the yeast isolates gave identical results in the sugar assimilation test and was cycloheximide sensitive. The yeast strain was identified asSaccharomyces cerevisiae Hansen.

     

Modeling and Rendering of the Atmosphere Using Mie-Scattering

This paper presents a method for rendering of the atmosphere by means of Mie-scattering. The method is based on a concentric atmospheric model, which is divided into four submodels: for clear air, aerosol, ozone, and rain. In order to simulate and visualize the various atmospheric effects, each of these submodels can be parameterized by the user as desired. The process of rendering an outdoor scene requires an enormous amount of computing power. In order to make this method suitable for efficient implementation, some simplifications and approximations are discussed. In addition, a selection of the rendering results are presented, and our further activities in the field of atmospheric rendering are discussed.

MMPI alcoholic subtypes: Replicability and validity of the 2-8-7-4 subtype.

An empirical examination of previous alcoholism classifications that have used the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory reveals that one particular subtype emerges with considerable convergence. This article describes this subtype and outlines some of its implications for alcoholism theory and research. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Pyrographit – Eigenschaften und anwendung

Pyrolytic Graphite – Properties and Application The carbon material known as pyrolytic graphite is remarkable for its exceptional properties which make it capable of being used in fields and processes in which high thermal, chemical and electrical stress is required. Its technical importances has increased in recent years. A report is given of the preparation of pyrolytic graphite and also of its important application properties, and the most important fields of application are touched on.
