Bioprocess Engineering: Kinetics, Sustainability, and Reactor Design, Third Edition, is a systematic and comprehensive textbook on bioprocess kinetics, molecular transformation, bioprocess systems, sustainability and reaction engineering. The book reviews the relevant fundamentals of chemical kinetics, batch and continuous reactors, biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, reaction engineering and bioprocess systems engineering, introducing key principles that enable bioprocess engineers to engage in the analysis, optimization, selection of cultivation methods, design and consistent control over molecular biological and chemical transformations. The quantitative treatment of bioprocesses is the central theme in this text, however more advanced techniques and applications are also covered.

Activity For Mental Health explores all activities, including physical, social, natural, cognitive, art/hobby and music as a means to both preventing and treating mental illness. This book not only reviews evidence-based research behind activity, but also explores how these forms of activity can treat mental illnesses. First, the reader is introduced to the concepts of Formal Behavioral Activation Therapy (BAT) and informal activity as an effective treatment option. Case examples aid in connecting the benefits to real life scenarios. Following the introduction, each activity is introduced in separate chapters, including physical, social, natural, cognitive, art/hobby and music. This book will provide researchers and clinicians the information needed to help customize treatment options for their patients suffering from mental illness. Evaluates the effectiveness of Behavioral Activation Therapy (BAT) as compared to existing psychotherapy treatmentsAdvocates creative activities to improve depression and anxietyIncludes multiple case studies detailing experiences with BAT and other therapiesExamines the relationship between physical activity and the nervous system, thus reducing sympathetic system stress responsesExplores the role of cognitive activity in predicting cognitive health

Clinician''s Toolkit for Children''s Behavioral Health provides a wealth of clinical tools, best practices, and research-based recommendations on the behavioral health of children. Based on the current perspectives on behaviorism, social-cognitive theory and attachment theory, the book reviews the evidence-base on developmentally appropriate methods to promote and reinforce positive, prosocial behaviors in children. Each chapter covers the most recent evidence base on normal and atypical development treatment parameters, best practices, and how to most effectively address issues with families, providing guidance on verbal or physical aggression, punishment spirals, and other ineffective or potentially harmful methods. Evidence-based best practices are outlined for addressing bedtime problems, toilet training, bullying behavior and victimization, the relationship between somatic complaints, anxiety, and school refusal, problematic use of screen media, and more. Provides a wealth of clinical guidance on treating behavioral problems in childrenAddresses toilet training, bullying, aggressive behavior, sexual behavior, and moreOutlines how to deliver parent-focused education and interventionsReviews best practices in interviewing about, and reporting on, child maltreatmentLooks at teaching methods, learning settings and children''s academic/social outcomes

The Clinical Guide to Assessment and Treatment of Childhood Learning and Attention Problems provides assessment and treatment recommendations for learning disorders (LD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Brimming with case studies and other practical guidance, the book reviews etiology of LD and ADHD, outlines the diagnostic criteria per DSM-5, and includes clinical insights for assessment and intervention. Evidence-based assessment and intervention strategies are emphasized, linking assessment to treatment selection and evaluation. Techniques for improving treatment outcomes and supplemental intervention planning are presented, including common modifications and accommodations for learning disorders and attention problems. In addition, tutoring techniques, strategies for specific types of learning problems, and recommendations for Individualized Education Plans are all explored. Provides an integrated approach to LD/ADHD assessment and treatmentExplores treatment implications for ADHD/LD comorbidityGuides readers on how to select the best intervention strategy from evidence-based treatmentsReviews behavioral-based treatmentIncludes supplemental intervention strategies, tutoring techniques, and IEPsFeatures a broad array of clinical case studies
