Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Research: Evidence-Based Practice and Practice-Based Evidence continues the important work of the first book published in 2009 by Humana Press (Handbook of Evidence-Based Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Practice). This landmark title presents in one volume significant developments in research, including neuroscience research, in psychodynamic psychotherapy by a team of renowned clinician-researchers. The demand for ongoing research initiatives in psychodynamic psychotherapy from both internal and external sources has increased markedly in recent years, and this volume continues to demonstrate the efficacy and effectiveness of a psychodynamic approach to psychotherapeutic interventions in the treatment of psychological problems. The work in this volume is presented in the spirit of ongoing discussion between researchers and clinicians about the value of specific approaches to specific patients with specific psychiatric and psychological problems. Multiple forms of treatment interventions have been developed over the past fifty years, and this volume makes clear, with firm evidence, the authors’ support for the current emphasis on personalized medicine. Groundbreaking and a major contribution to the psychiatric and psychologic literature, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Research: Evidence-Based Practice and Practice-Based Evidence provides firm grounding for advancing psychodynamic psychotherapy as a treatment paradigm.

Established as part of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) and now managed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program faces a significant challenge. Over the past decade, the LTPP program has developed a solid knowledge base for understanding how pavements perform. Its challenge throughout its second decade is to build on this foundation--to further the understanding of why pavements perform as they do. To address this challenge, FHWA has initiated several efforts that require the support and active participation of the States and Provinces. The intent of this document is to describe the challenge the LTPP program faces and explain the efforts underway to address this challenge. This document is presented in the following sections: Introduction; The Challenge; Addressing the Challenge; Critical Issues; and Future Opportunities.

"This report summarizes the current status of the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program and its major activities -- data collection, data storage, data analysis, and product development. It describes the work that will be needed beyond 2009 to realize the full potential of the world's most comprehensive pavement performance database and the benefits that will be accrued by capitalizing on the investment that has been made"--Page 2 of cover.

Data Analysis in Pavement Engineering: Theory and Methodology offers a complete introduction to the basis of the finite element method, covering fundamental theory and worked examples in the detail required for readers to apply the knowledge to their own engineering problems and understand more advanced applications. This edition sees the significant addition of content addressing coupling problems, including Finite element analysis formulations for coupled problems; Details of algorithms for solving coupled problems; and Examples showing how algorithms can be used to solve for piezoelectricity and poroelasticity problems. Focusing on the core knowledge, mathematical and analytical tools needed for successful application, this book represents the authoritative resource of choice for graduate-level students, researchers and professional engineers involved in finite element-based engineering analysis. This book is the first comprehensive resource to cover all potential scenarios of data analysis in pavement and transportation infrastructure research, including areas such as materials testing, performance modeling, distress detection, and pavement evaluation. It provides coverage of significance tests, design of experiments, data mining, data modeling, and supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques. It summarizes the latest research in data analysis within pavement engineering, encompassing over 300 research papers. It delves into the fundamental concepts, elements, and parameters of data analysis, empowering pavement engineers to undertake tasks typically reserved for statisticians and data scientists. The book presents 21 step-by-step case studies, showcasing the application of the data analysis method to address various problems in pavement engineering and draw meaningful conclusions.

The level of research activity in the highway sector as a whole has declined precipitously in recent decades, whilst the challenges facing US state highway agencies have escalated. As a result, a Strategic Highway Research Program - SHRP) was initiated to establish collaboration with research bodies tackling similar highway problems in countries worldwide. This collection of reports from around the world presents SHRP`s progress towards providing research-based new products from which the international highway engineering community may benefit. SHRP concentrates on six high-priority research areas: asphaltic materials; pavement performance; cement and concrete; maintenance cost effectiveness; concrete bridge component protection systems and the chemical control of snow and ice.
