Outcome Measures Created by The Parent-Child Home Program; References; IndexThe Parent-Child Home Program, a pre-preschool home visiting program, has grown greatly since the first edition of Messages from Home was published in 1988. This expanded and updated edition shows the continued success of this program-spearheaded by the late Phyllis Levenstein-which prepares at-risk children for school success, overcoming educational disadvantage. Since The Parent-Child Home Program was founded in the 1960's, it has enriched the cognitive, social, and emotional school readiness of tens of thousands of children.

Most of the work was conducted at a common research site. More specifically, the book examines the contribution of surface uptake by trees in the dynamics of radiocesium during the initial contamination stage; the movement of radiocesium in the form of small organic fragments that are essential to the radiocesium dynamics in forest ecosystems; and the upward movement of radiocesium due to microorganism activity, which promotes the effective decontamination of the forest floor. Lastly, it explains why spiders could be a valuable indicator of the contamination level in forest ecosystems.ForestryEnvironmental monitoringRadiation protectionRadiation—Safety measuresEcology Plant scienceBotanyForestryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22008Monitoring/Environmental Analysishttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U1400XEffects of Radiation/Radiation Protectionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U13003Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007Plant Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24000Forestry.Environmental monitoring.Radiation protection.Radiation—Safety measures.Ecology .Plant science.Botany.Forestry.Monitoring/Environmental Analysis.Effects of Radiation/Radiation Protection.Ecology.Plant Sciences.541.3884Takenaka Chisatoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHijii Naokiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKaneko Nobuhiroedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtOhkubo Tatsuhiroedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910350355103321Radiocesium Dynamics in a Japanese Forest Ecosystem2184162UNINA
