Psychologists on Interdisciplinary Teams: Barriers to Interdisciplinary Work for Psychologists at the Pre-Doctoral Level and Beyond
With the shift of psychologists into practice in interdisciplinary medical settings, where might these providers receive adequate training for effective entry into these roles? The field of health psychology struggles to adequately keep up with the need for specialized psychologists within medical settings. Training programs have historically failed to provide training opportunities within interdisciplinary medical settings. This project examined the interviews of three psychologists with experience working and training pre-doctoral level students in interdisciplinary, health-focused, medical settings. Based on the information gathered herein, it appears that the barriers to training pre-doctoral psychology students within medical establishments stem from the following themes: ill-defined roles, limited ability to specialize, individual’s capabilities, psychologists being undervalued, and financial constraints. This qualitative ethnographic examination looks at the barriers to developing additional training for pre-doctoral level psychology students within health-focused environments to meet the ever-growing need to integrate psychologists into interdisciplinary medical settings

Paleogene time scale miscalibration: Evidence from the dating of the North Atlantic igneous province
Jolley et al. (2002) have proposed that the date of the Paleocene - Eocene thermal maximum is ca. 60 Ma, at least 5 m.y. older than currently estimated and, as a result, argue that the Paleogene time scale of Berggren et al. (1995) is grossly miscalibrated. The implications of this proposal are implausible, and we attribute the discrepancy in age noted by Jolley et al. (2002) to miscorrelation of the Staffa-type palynofloras and ambiguous isotopic dates from the North Atlantic igneous province
Pleistocene magnetochronology of early hominin sites at Ceprano and Fontana Ranuccio, Italy
Paleomagnetic analyses were conducted on two cores drilled at Ceprano in central Italy where an incomplete hominin cranium was discovered in 1994, as well as on two additional cores from the nearby site of Fontana Ranuccio that yielded hominin remains associated with an Acheulean industry. No evidence for the 0.78 Ma Brunhes–Matuyama boundary was found at Ceprano down to 45 m below the level that yielded the hominin cranium. The Ceprano lithostratigraphy and the paleomagnetic age constraints are broadly consistent with the stratigraphy of the Liri lacustrine sequence of the Latina Valley, constrained by published K–Ar ages between ~ 0.6 and ~ 0.35 Ma, and according to an age model with magnetic susceptibility supported by pollen facies data, suggest that the level that yielded the hominin cranium has an age of ~ 0.45 (+ 0.05, − 0.10) Ma. Evidence for the Brunhes–Matuyama boundary was found at Fontana Ranuccio about 40 m below the hominin level, consistent with a K–Ar age of ~ 0.46 Ma reported for this level. Hence the Ceprano and Fontana Ranuccio hominin occurrences may be of very similar mid-Brunhes age

The growth and erosion of cinder cones in Guatemala and El Salvador: Models and statistics
Morphologic data for 147 cinder cones in southern Guatemala andwestern El Salvador are comparedwith data from
the San Francisco volcanic field, Arizona (USA), Cima volcanic field, California (USA), Michoácan–Guanajuato
volcanic field, Mexico, and the Lamongan volcanic field, East Java. The Guatemala cones have an average height of
110+/-50 m, an average basal diameter of 660+/-230 m and an average top diameter of 180+/-150 m. The
generalmorphology of these cones can be described by their average cone angle of slope (24+/-7), average heightto-
radius ratio (0.33+/-0.09) and their flatness (0.24+/-0.18). Although the mean values for the Guatemalan
cones are similar to those for other volcanic fields (e.g., San Francisco volcanic field, Arizona; Cima volcanic field,
California; Michoácan–Guanajuato volcanic field, Mexico; and Lamongan volcanic field, East Java), the range of
morphologies encompasses almost all of those observed worldwide for cinder cones.
Three new 40Ar/39Ar age dates are combined with 19 previously published dates for cones in Guatemala and El
Salvador. There is no indication that the morphologies of these cones have changed over the last 500–1000 ka.
Furthermore, a re-analysis of published data for other volcanic fields suggests that only in the Cima volcanic field (of
those studied) is there clear evidence of degradation with age.
Preliminary results of a numerical model of cinder cone growth are used to show that the range of morphologies
observed in the Guatemalan cinder cones could all be primary, that is, due to processes occurring at the time of
eruption
Dynamics of Locomotor Fatigue during Supra-critical Power Exercise
Purpose; We aimed to measure 1) the dynamics of locomotor fatigue during constant supra-critical power cycling, and 2) the magnitude of any reserve in locomotor power at intolerance to constant and ramp-incremental cycling in recreationally-active volunteers.
Methods; Fifteen participants (7 women and 8 men, 22±3 yr, 3.34±0.67 L.min-1 V[Combining Dot Above]O2peak) completed ramp-incremental and very-heavy constant power (205±46 W) exercise to the limit of tolerance. Immediately following intolerance, the ergometer was switched into the isokinetic mode and participants completed a short (~5 s) maximal isokinetic effort at 70 rpm. The time course of locomotor fatigue during constant supra-critical power exercise was characterized with these short maximal isokinetic sprints at 30, 60, 120, 180 s and at the limit of tolerance. Each bout was terminated following the isokinetic sprint.
Results; Constant power exercise duration was 312±37 s. Isokinetic power production at 30, 60, 120, 180 s and the limit of tolerance (at 312±37 s) was 609±165, 503±195, 443±157, 449±133, and 337±94 W, respectively. Of the total decline in isokinetic power, ~36% occurred within the first minute of exercise and significant (p<0.05) reductions in isokinetic power occurred at all time-points vs the baseline maximal isokinetic power (666±158 W). Additionally, a significant power reserve of 132±74 W (64% of the task requirement) and 119±80 W (47%) was present at the limit of constant power and ramp-incremental exercise, respectively.
Conclusions; Locomotor fatigue occurred rapidly during supra-critical power exercise with pseudo-exponential kinetics. Instantaneous isokinetic power production at the limit of tolerance exceeded that of the task requirement, regardless of the constant, or ramp work rate profile. Thus, the perceptual and physiologic limits were dissociated at the limit of tolerance in recreationally-active volunteers
