A variety of techniques for environmental remediation have been compiled and summarized. The paper is intended to provide an overview of remediation methods currently utilized at various hazardous waste sites. Specific examples of method application are given when possible and references for each technique are provided should more detailed information be desired. Remediation methods, categorize...

This paper presents a system that detects unknown malware in user PCs, and automatically creates tools that restore the PCs to the pre-infection states. This system incorporates with dynamic malware analysis systems to detect malware, and creates remediation tools based on the analysis reports. Using the behavior information in the reports, the remediation tools not only delete the malware, but...

The EPA Regional Ground Water Forum is a group of EPA professionals representing Regional Superfund and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Offices, committed to the identification and resolution of ground-water issues impacting the remediation of Superfund and RCRA sites. Innovative technologies for subsurface remediation, including in-situ techniques based on heating the subsurface ...

INTRODUCTION Academic difficulty can often be a significant problem for students in health professional programmes. Students in difficulty are often identified late in their training and run the risk of dismissal if remediation is not successful. Since the inception of the Medical Radiation Sciences Program (MRSP) at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine, and the Michener Institute (MI...

BACKGROUND Cognitive remediation (CRT) affects functioning but the extent and type of cognitive improvements necessary are unknown. AIM To develop and test models of how cognitive improvement transfers to work behaviour using the data from a current service. METHOD Participants (N49) with a support worker and a paid or voluntary job were offered CRT in a Phase 2 single group design with thr...

Recent interest in the early course of schizophrenia accentuated altered cognition prior to the onset. Ultrahigh risk (UHR) individuals with attenuated positive symptoms and transient psychotic episodes demonstrate neurocognitive deficits across multiple domains such as memory, executive functioning, and processing speed which are consistent with similar disturbances identified in patients with...

The article reviews the latest interventions in cognitive rehabilitation for patients with schizophrenia. Studies referring to cognitive rehabilitation for people with schizophrenia from the last three years, found in the PubMed database, are presented. The authors categorised cognitive rehabilitation trainings in terms of targeted cognitive spheres - neurocognitive training, social cognition t...

Cognitive remediation is the best available tool to treat cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and has evidence of biological validity; however results are still heterogeneous and significant predictors are lacking. Previous studies showed that cognitive remediation is able to induce changes in PFC function and dopaminergic transmission and thus the study of possible sources of variability at th...

Cognitive remediation therapy is effective for improving cognition, symptoms and social functioning in individuals with schizophrenia; however, the impact on visual episodic memory remains unclear. The objectives of this feasibility study were: (1) to explore whether or not CIRCuiTS--a new computerised cognitive remediation therapy programme developed in England--improves visual episodic memory...
