The research cites numerous reasons why music therapists leave the field. Few studies, however, examined reasons why music therapists persist in the field. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to identify knowledge and skills that experienced professionals perceived as important. Music therapists with aminimumof 5 years of professionals experiencewere selected randomly from the Ameri...

Research indicates that music therapists are likely to make use of computer software, designed to measure changes in the way a patient and therapist make use of music in music therapy sessions. A proof of concept study investigated whether music analysis algorithms (designed to retrieve information from commercial music recordings) can be adapted to meet the needs of music therapists. Computati...

Detasseling is the operation that consists of removing the tassels of the female plants prior to silk emergence CERES-Maize, which was designed for simulation of hybrid maize and pollen shed to prevent self-pollination. During this (Zea mays L.), cannot be applied directly to seed-producing inbred maize because of specific field operations and physiological traits of operation, several leaves a...

During the past two decades, pedigree analysis has documented inbreeding depression in many captive populations. This and subsequent research has led to a recognition that inbreeding depression is a potentially important determinate of small population fitness, in both captivity and the wild. Modern captive-breeding programmes now universally avoid inbreeding. We use simulation to investigate h...

This study correlated an art therapy descriptive technique originally applied to adolescent burn victims with adult combat-related victims in an effort to identify art themes and graphic elements associated with post-traumatic stress disorder. The designed rating instrument, referred to as the Combat Trauma Art Therapy Scale (CTATS), consisted of 62 items aimed to detect common themes associate...

This study explored the effectiveness of group narrative therapy in treating the symptoms of social phobia among boys. Twenty-four boys, aged 10–11 with a confirmed diagnosis of social phobia were randomly assigned to receive treatment (N = 12) or placed on a waiting list (N = 12) considered as a control group. The treatment group received fourteen 90-min sessions of narrative therapy twice a w...

The application of music in therapy is realised through different working modalities which can be categorised into three types of techniques: production, reception, and reproduction. These techniques are commonly used in mental health settings in music therapy practice and previous research suggests that specific working modalities might be important predictors of change in music therapy. Howev...

Summary: Template stripping is a simple and versatile process for creating smooth patterned films from various materials. We will discuss improved plasmonic performance for template-stripped metals and their use in thermophotovoltaic applications. Introduction: Template stripping utilizes the fact that coinage metals (e.g., silver, gold, and copper) will wet certain substrates but adhere poorly...
