	Rebate subsidies, matching subsidies and isolation effects
		The notion of isolation effects, which is closely related to, but distinct from the well known concept of mental accounting (Thaler, 1980, 1999), suggests that when given a multi-dimensional problem, people tend to disaggregate dimensions of the problem and focus on only those components that they control most directly or that affect them most directly.
		Thus, the insensitivity of subjects to formatting effects in experiments like the control treatment suggests a methodological implication rather than a policy one: given sufficient task length or complexity, isolation effects may be anticipated almost trivially.
		Isolation effects are also distinguishable from the well documented tendency for individuals to value inordinately that which they think they own.

	SDC/EEL : Base Isolation Help Page (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Base isolation attempts to isolate a structure from the external ground excitations, not by trying to dissipate the energy of the earthquake within the structure, rather by not allowing this energy to even enter the structure.
		The base isolation simulation is intended to be used to increase understanding and provide a conceptual "feel" for various parameter changes on the performance of base isolated systems.
		Consider the reason that when using base isolation (the case of isolated base) with default values, the peak or natural frequency of the superstructure in the Bode diagram doesn't appear the same frequency as that of fixed base.

	Harry Harlow
		Some theorized that the effects of isolation were actually the product of the trauma of changing from the unstimulating environment of the isolation chamber to the more active world outside.
		Attempts to ease the transition from isolation had no effect, and the unusual behaviors were mostly found to predate removal.
		Exposure of isolates to socially normal age-mates usually resulted in severe aggression towards the isolate, which often exacerbated the symptoms.

	Isolation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The term "isolation" refers to the electrical separation of all or a portion of the grounded neutral system of a farmstead from the remainder of the system.
		Isolating part of the grounded neutral system can prevent neutral-to-earth voltage on the non-isolated portion of the system from getting to the animals.
		A conventional multi-grounded system can be isolated, ahead of the farm main service (whole farm isolation), or at the livestock building (single service isolation).

		This article will discuss some of the effects of isolation on MKs, give creative ways to cope and turn isolation into a good thing, explain what important role an MK's family can play during this time, and give some examples of the benefits of isolation.
		One effect living in a situation of isolation may have on an MK is putting them a little behind on social skills.
		To add to the isolation of not having friends around, the MK will also have to sort out feelings of unimportance as they see themselves put in behind their parents' ministry.

	Running head: ISOLATION, RECOGNITION, RECALL, FALSE MEMORY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		A study involving 28 undergraduate students was done to measure: the effects of serial position on recall, the isolation effect (von Restorff effect) on recall, and the use of critical lure with a semantically similar word list to elicit false recognition.
		Another characteristic involving human memory is the effects of isolation on recall; also know as the von Restorff effect.
		Although there are several limitations due to the lack of a representative sample, the findings are consistent with prior research regarding: that human memory recall is affected by serial position of words, isolation of terms leads to an increased frequency of recall, and that false memory can be elicited by the use of critical lures.

	Haila: Forest Fragmentation: Effects on Vegetation Dynamics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Human-induced fragmentation is ubiquitous, but it ought be distinguished from natural `fragmentedness' of forests which is a reflection of the inherent heterogeneity of nature, and maintained by discontinuities in the environmental space as well as disturbances such as wildfires and windthrows.
		Ecological criteria for identifying different types of fragmentation effects can be found by separating from each other ecosystem structure and function on the one hand, and fragmentation effects due to isolation and external influence on the other.
		All particular effects are, however, scale dependent: mere geometry is not sufficient for identifying potential harmful effects of forest fragmentation, but the geometry of a given fragment system must be related to characteristic scales of the processes of interest.

	Chapter 7: The Isolation Factor
		"Isolation is the worst possible counselor," wrote an early 20th century writer and those timeless words are particularly apt in modern legal education.
		Much of the literature has discussed the psychological effects of isolation (e.g., alienation, withdrawal, and hostility); however, too little attention has been paid to the important academic effects of isolation.
		Moreover, not only can isolation prevent minority and non-traditional students from a fair assessment of their actual academic ability, but isolation may also disproportionately impact minority students' job opportunities with law firms and law school academic appointments as well.

	Isolation
		Hannah ELC 4AO Dec 23, 1999 Isolation is defined in the Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary as occurring when something is “placed apart or alone.” Naturally, humans are faced with feelings of isolation at certain times throughout their lives.
		Humans are often driven mad by isolation, where their only means of escaping is by death.
		Isolation is a fundamental human fact in which we all strive to break free of or avoid.

	Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome (PTLS)
		If both ovaries are removed, or becomes non-functional due to ovarian isolation in a pre-menopausal woman as part an operation, the sudden loss of estrogen will trigger an abrupt premature menopause and hormone shock that may involve severe symptoms of hot flashes, chills, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, loss of sex drive, and heart palpation's.
		Post tubal women are often wrongly told that menopause, ovarian isolation, or the ovaries being affected by lack of blood supply is impossible because the ovaries have 2 sources of blood supply.
		Women who have had their ovaries removed or rendered nonfunctional due to ovarian isolation are seven times more likely to develop coronary heart disease and much more likely to develop bone problems at an early age than are pre-menopausal women whose ovaries are intact and functioning.

	AI REPORT 1997: Estonia (the Republic of)
		Amnesty International believes that prolonged isolation could have serious effects on the physical and mental health of the prisoners and might constitute cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
		Amnesty International appealed to the authorities to abolish the death penalty and commute all pending death sentences, and expressed concern about the prolonged isolation in which death-row prisoners were held.
		In October, Amnesty International urged the authorities to explore ways of alleviating the effects of isolation on death-row prisoners with-out compromising their security, and requested information on the progress of the appeal on behalf of Vladimir Botchko.

	SARS Control and Psychological Effects of Quarantine, Toronto, Canada (Replies) \| CDC EID
		Measuring the psychological effects of isolation and quarantine will require studies comparing psychological symptoms of healthcare workers subjected to quarantine with those who continued working, as well as studies comparing randomly selected persons subject to isolation with the general population living in the city during the outbreak.
		Regardless of whether isolation and quarantine induce posttraumatic stress disorder, public health officials must be cognizant of and prepared to supply appropriate emotional and social support to persons subject to isolation or quarantine.
		Instructions to all quarantined persons, per public health guidelines (3), were to wear masks while in the presence of other household members, not because they were symptomatic, but rather because they may have been incubating SARS and had the potential to transmit infection to household contacts in the 24 hours before symptom onset.

		This isolation was partly responsible for the late discovery of the country.
		Yet even then, in the years 1900–39 the total net immigration was less than 600,000, or less than one year’s addition to our population in the boom days at Ellis Island before 1914.
		Isolation has had its effect on the quality of life as well as on the quantity.

	Mensactivism.org \| Social Isolation, Depression
		A topic recently discussed in a syndicated story is the increasing social isolation that typifies living in "modern society." It leads to problems all by itself and exacerbates existing problems, most notably those that can be addressed at least in part by the company of others (for example, depression).
		Isolation and depression impact men in particular ways and for a variety of reasons.
		So, be on the look out for the effects of isolation and depression and if you spot it in yourself, do something about it: get help, get more social, whatever you need to do.

	SOCIALIZATION, Russ Long's Lecture Notes
		It is apparent that sever social isolation contributes to poor social development, but it's difficult to prove "scientifically." Social workers encounter children raised in isolation at the end of the process of isolation.
		There fore, research on isolation has to focus on children who have experienced isolation in the past or it has to investigate the effects of isolation on animals.
		Isolation will bring on hallucinations, extreme apathy, anxiety, and the loss of the sense of self.

		They may be isolated because they present a risk to themselves or others, or because they engage in other difficult or dangerous behaviour.
		They may be isolated while awaiting assessment or transfer to hospital though, in current practice, individuals with personality disorder but lacking evidence of severe mental illness are unlikely to be transferred to an NHS hospital.
		Prisoners who are not transferred to an outside psychiatric hospital and who are at increased risk of spending frequent or extended periods in segregation or seclusion should be managed as described in Prisoners with complex presentations and very difficult behaviours.

	Turkey: Small Group Isolation and the Violent Transfers of Prisoners - Introduction
		The cell-based system may amount to ill-treatment if accompanied by an isolation regime that permits no access to educational or recreational activities or other sources of mental stimulation, confines prisoners toa monotonous unvaried environment, and enforces either solitary confinement or social interaction with a strictly limited group of cell-mates.
		Ministry officials did not accept that the term "small group isolation" was applicable to the permanent and unrelieved confinement of three people, and said that such treatment was appropriate for prisoners held under the Anti-Terror Law.
		In 1996 twelve prisoners died in a death fast staged against threatened transfers into isolation and in September 1999 ten prisoners occupying a ward at Ankara Central Closed Prison were shot dead or beaten to death by gendarmes.

	Isolation Prisons
		Medical Effects of Isolation A wide range of medical studies indicate that confinement in solitary or small group isolation can be physically and mentally damaging.
		Impaired vision and hearing, hallucinations, tinnitus, weakening of the immune system, amenorrhea, premature menopause, depression, anxiety, and aggressive behavior are among the effects documented in studies of prisoners, volunteers, and animals.
		In the Turkish context, concerns about the direct effects of isolation are augmented by a suspicion that the closed environment of an isolation unit may facilitate torture, ill-treatment, and other cruel, inhuman or degrading abuses.

	Base Isolation System
		In Japan, which is one of the countries in the world with numerous earthquakes, many base isolation systems have been proposed, but recently at last by using rubber bearings this system has become practically established as an effective resistance technology.
		The rubber bearings support the weight of the building and are soft, flat springs that reduce the response acceleration of a building during an earthquake, and the viscous dampers absorb the vibration energy of an earthquake and control the displacement that arises between the building and the ground.
		With this new system combining rubber bearings and viscous dampers, movement is smooth, and being able to display base isolation effects even with small earthquakes makes it far different from the systems of other companies.
