Book excerpt: The intention of this crossword puzzle book is to prepare any student to pass the National Certified Pharmacy Board exam. A Pharmacy Technician career is very demanding and rewarding. To become a National Certified Pharmacy Technician, one must be prepared to only have to take once because the cost of the exam is expensive and will continue to rise. All students must review for this board exam. There are several different study techniques that can be employed, including flash cards, practice tests, and games, such as crossword puzzles. It is important to select the right method to study for the board exam. Whichever methods students select have an impact on the outcome of the exam. These crosswords puzzles can help students to memorize and/or recognize the answer since the board exam is mainly multiple choices. This crossword puzzle book contain more than 100 pages. The National Board Exam consists of many different types of exams. It can be one of the following: 1) 80% math and 20% drugs; 2) 80% retail and 20% hospital; 3) 70%hospital and 30% math; 4) 75% retail and 25% math; and 5) 90% top commonly used drugs and 10% math. This National Board Exam is not easy to pass unless students have mastered their drug knowledge as well as other subjects. In order to pass the Board Exam on the first try, one would benefit from using crosswords or word search methodology to study and attend the preparation classes. This book consists mainly of brand and generic names of the top 300 drugs with their drug classification. Students who use crosswords puzzles retain their memorization much better of the drug names and will have a higher chance of passing the exam. It is not easy to shuffle these 300 drugs, brand name and generic name, to a person's brain. Studies have shown that our brain can only absorb less than forty percent each day. Studying is a very time consuming process. It takes time for the brain to digest and store and convert into long term memory. Crossword puzzles and word search is by far the most effective style of learning for most students. It can help students build confidence when time to take the exam. The National Certified Board of Pharmacy exam contains mainly multiple-choice questions. There are a few questions on the exam that are for pre-trial purposes and will not scored. Each question provides four choices with only one correct or best answer. Students will not know which questions are scored and which are not. It is best to attempt to answer every single questions. Selecting the best answer reflects the outcome of students' memorization or recognize the right answer. Students who use this textbook and attend the preparation classes will have a greater chance of passing the Board Exam. Passing the exam depends on the students' time spent in studying and memorize all these top 300 drugs.

Book excerpt: In resource poor, cost saving times, this book provides practical advice on new methods and technologies involved in systematic searching and explores the role of information professionals in delivering these changes The editors bring together expert international practitioners and researchers to highlight the latest thinking on systematic searching. Beginning by looking at the methods and techniques underlying systematic searching, the book then examines the current challenges and the potential solutions to more effective searching in detail, before considering the role of the information specialist as an expert searcher. Systematic Searching blends theory and practice and takes into account different approaches to information retrieval with a special focus being given to searching for complex topics in a health-related environment. The book does not presume an in-depth prior knowledge or experience of systematic searching and includes case studies, practical examples and ideas for further research and reading. The book is divided into three parts: Methods covers theoretical approaches to evidence synthesis and the implications that these have for the search process, including searching for complex topics and choosing the right sources. Technology examines new technologies for retrieving evidence and how these are leading to new directions in information retrieval and evidence synthesis. People considers the future of the information specialist as an expert searcher and explores how information professionals can develop their skills in searching, communication and collaboration to ensure that information retrieval practice is, and remains, evidence-based. Systematic Searching will be essential reading for library and information service providers and information specialists, particularly those in a health-related environment. It will also be of interest to students of library and information science, systematic reviewers, researchers and practitioners conducting complex searches in settings including social care, education and criminal justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1953, 27-year-old Henry Gustave Molaison underwent an experimental "psychosurgical" procedure -- a targeted lobotomy -- in an effort to alleviate his debilitating epilepsy. The outcome was unexpected -- when Henry awoke, he could no longer form new memories, and for the rest of his life would be trapped in the moment. But Henry's tragedy would prove a gift to humanity. As renowned neuroscientist Suzanne Corkin explains in Permanent Present Tense, she and her colleagues brought to light the sharp contrast between Henry's crippling memory impairment and his preserved intellect. This new insight that the capacity for remembering is housed in a specific brain area revolutionized the science of memory. The case of Henry -- known only by his initials H. M. until his death in 2008 -- stands as one of the most consequential and widely referenced in the spiraling field of neuroscience. Corkin and her collaborators worked closely with Henry for nearly fifty years, and in Permanent Present Tense she tells the incredible story of the life and legacy of this intelligent, quiet, and remarkably good-humored man. Henry never remembered Corkin from one meeting to the next and had only a dim conception of the importance of the work they were doing together, yet he was consistently happy to see her and always willing to participate in her research. His case afforded untold advances in the study of memory, including the discovery that even profound amnesia spares some kinds of learning, and that different memory processes are localized to separate circuits in the human brain. Henry taught us that learning can occur without conscious awareness, that short-term and long-term memory are distinct capacities, and that the effects of aging-related disease are detectable in an already damaged brain. Undergirded by rich details about the functions of the human brain, Permanent Present Tense pulls back the curtain on the man whose misfortune propelled a half-century of exciting research. With great clarity, sensitivity, and grace, Corkin brings readers to the cutting edge of neuroscience in this deeply felt elegy for her patient and friend.
