• Sommario/riassunto: Simple in concept, far-reaching in implementation, Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) was developed in the 1980's as an efficient way to assess the progress of struggling students, including those with disabilities. Today, there are few areas of special education policy and practice that have not been influenced by CBM progress monitoring. The impact of CBM is reflected in recent education reforms that emphasize improvements in assessment and data-based decision making. Gathering an international group of leading researchers and practitioners, A Measure of Success provides a comp...

• Sommario/riassunto: This special volume contains the proceedings of the 9th Epioptics Workshop, held at the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture, Erice, Sicily, from July 20 to 26, 2006. The workshop was the 9th in the Epioptics series and the 39th of the International School of Solid State Physics. The workshop was aimed at assessing the capabilities of state-of-the-art optical techniques in elucidating the fundamental electronic and structural properties of semiconductor and metal surfaces, interfaces, thin layers, and layer structures, and at assessing the usefulness of these techniques for optimization of high-quality multilayer samples through feedback control during materials growth and processing. Particular emphasis is dedicated to the theory of non-linear optics and to dynamical processes through the use of pump-probe techniques together with the search for new optical sources. Some new applications of scanning probe microscopy to material science and biological samples, dried and in vivo, with the use of different laser sources are also presented.

• Sommario/riassunto: This book discusses the management of stable angina pectoris, with a focus on pharmacotherapy. Traditional angina triggered by obstructive coronary artery disease is tackled in the book, along with specific discussions of non-atherosclerotic forms of angina pectoris, such as microvascular angina. Several aspects of microvascular angina are presented in this work, including its clinical presentation and prognosis, and the diagnostic tests used in clinical practice and management. Presented within this monographic work are current treatments as recommended by international guidelines, but also introduced are new concepts regarding unmet needs in the management of patients with chronic stable angina whether triggered by coronary artery disease or by coronary microvascular dysfunction. The ultimate aim of Essentials in Stable Angina Pectoris is to assist the managing physician to identify the different forms of angina pectoris that may come to their attention, all of which pose important diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This work also includes clinical diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms, thus bringing this topic closer ; to the practicing cardiologist. .
