Working Minds: A Practitioner's Guide to Cognitive Task Analysis
Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) helps researchers understand how cognitive skills and strategies make it possible for people to act effectively and get things done. CTA can yield information people need—employers faced with personnel issues, market researchers who want to understand the thought processes of consumers, trainers and others who design instructional systems, health care professionals who want to apply lessons learned from errors and accidents, systems analysts developing user specifications, and many other professionals.

Brain Barrier Systems, Volume 29In recent years, many important developments have occurred in many research disciplines that are directly related to brain permeability. In morphological fields, the fine resolution provided by electron microscopy has resulted in new concepts of membrane structure. Electron microscopy, combined with autoradiography, have contributed significant information concerning dynamic events occurring in and around such membranes. Permeability measurements with drugs have led to new theories of the physical and chemical requirements which determine the penetration of drugs
