“…Many of these applications exemplify the extent to which well-designed computer systems can improve professional practice. For example, Gardner, Souza, Scabbia, and Breuer (1986) reported that an integrated microcomputer system developed within a residential facility for individuals with learning disabilities was able to reduce costs, increase the quality of care, and decrease staff time and clerical time required to perform routine tasks. Hedlund, Vieweg, and Cho (1987b) provided an example of how an expert computerized consultation system can assist a non-mental-health expert in assessing and treating emotional and behavioral emergencies in a remote area (i.e., on board U.S. Navy nuclear submarines).…”

Surveyed 227 practicing psychologists to explore the impact of computers on the everyday practice of psychology and practitioners' attitudes toward specific uses of computers. Whereas more than half of the respondents reported using computers in their practices, most restricted their use to clerical applications. Few practitioners used their computer for more clinical applications. Reasons most frequently reported for not using computers related to lacking the necessary skills and experience and to financial considerations. Overall, practitioners had positive attitudes toward a variety of specific applications of computers. Implications of these findings for facilitating the appropriate use of computers by practitioners are discussed. 172This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.This article is intended solely for the personal use of the individual user and is not to be disseminated broadly.

Summary• Two-way N transfers mediated by Pisolithus sp. were examined by excluding root contact and supplying 15 NH 4 + or 15 NO 3 -to 6-month-old Eucalyptus maculata or Casuarina cunninghamiana grown in two-chambered-pots separated by 37 µm screens.• Mycorrhizal colonization was 35% in Eucalyptus and 66% in Casuarina ( c. 29% N 2 -fixation). Using an environmental scanning electron microscope, living hyphae were observed to interconnect Eucalyptus and Casuarina . Biomass and N accumulation was greatest in nodulated mycorrhizal Casuarina /mycorrhizal Eucalyptus pairs, less in nonnodulated mycorrhizal Casuarina /mycorrhizal Eucalyptus pairs, and least in nonnodulated nonmycorrhizal Casuarina /nonmycorrhizal Eucalyptus pairs.• In nonnodulated mycorrhizal pairs, N transfers to Eucalyptus or to Casuarina were similar (2.4 -4.1 mg per plant in either direction) and were 2.6 -4.0 times greater than in nonnodulated nonmycorrhizal pairs. In nodulated mycorrhizal pairs, N transfers were greater to Eucalyptus (5 -7 times) and to Casuarina (12-18 times) than in nonnodulated mycorrhizal pairs. Net transfer to Eucalyptus or to Casuarina was low in both nonnodulated nonmycorrhizal (< 0.7 mg per plant) and nonnodulated mycorrhizal pairs (< 1.1 mg per plant). In nodulated mycorrhizal pairs, net transfer to Casuarina was 26.0 mg per plant.• The amount and direction of two-way mycorrhiza-mediated N transfer was increased by the presence of Pisolithus sp. and Frankia , resulting in a net N transfer from low-N-demanding Eucalyptus to high-N-demanding Casuarina .
