How Do You Feel?

An Interoceptive Moment with Your Neurobiological Self

By: A. D. Craig

Craig believes we do not have a genuine understanding of what a "feeling" is or how we experience a feeling. Emotional feelings, though, are even less tangible and more ephemeral. Bodily awareness has been called interoceptive awareness by investigators interested in the effects of cardiorespiratory or visceral sensory activity on human mood, emotion, and performance. Craig's goal here is to provide a clear and accessible explanation of the ideas that emerged from his work on the lamina I projection map that he has been developing for the last twenty-five years. -- adapted from Introduction [pages 1-15]

Plant Genetic Engineering

Towards the Third Millennium

By: A.D. Arencibia

Plant biotechnology offers important opportunities for agriculture, horticulture, and the pharmaceutical and food industry by generating transgenic varieties with altered properties. This is likely to change farming practice and reduce the potential negative impact of plant production on the environment. This volume shows the worldwide advances and potential benefits of plant genetic engineering focusing on the third millennium. The authors discuss the production of transgenic plants resistant to biotic and abiotic stress, the improvement of plant qualities, the use of transgenic plants as bioreactors, and the use of plant genomics for genetic improvement and gene cloning. Unique to this book is the integrative point of view taken between plant genetic engineering and socioeconomic and environmental issues. Considerations of regulatory processes to release genetically modified plants, as well as the public acceptance of the transgenic plants are also discussed.This book will be welcomed by biotechnologists, researchers and students alike working in the biological sciences. It should also prove useful to everyone dedicated to the study of the socioeconomic and environmental impact of the new technologies, while providing recent scientific information on the progress and perspectives of the production of genetically modified plants.The work is dedicated to Professor Marc van Montagu.

Real Time Fault Monitoring of Industrial Processes

By: A.D. Pouliezos,George S. Stavrakakis

This book presents a detailed and up-to-date exposition of fault monitoring methods in industrial processes and structures. The following approaches are explained in considerable detail: Model-based methods (simple tests, analytical redundancy, parameter estimation); knowledge-based methods; artificial neural network methods; and nondestructive testing, etc. Each approach is complemented by specific case studies from various industrial sectors (aerospace, chemical, nuclear, etc.), thus bridging theory and practice. This volume will be a valuable tool in the hands of professional and academic engineers. It can also be recommended as a supplementary postgraduate textbook. For scientists whose work involves automatic process control and supervision, statistical process control, applied statistics, quality control, computer-assisted predictive maintenance and plant monitoring, and structural reliability and safety.

How College Affects Students

21st Century Evidence that Higher Education Works

By: Matthew J. Mayhew,Alyssa N. Rockenbach,Nicholas A. Bowman,Tricia A. D. Seifert,Gregory C. Wolniak

The bestselling analysis of higher education's impact, updated with the latest data How College Affects Students synthesizes over 1,800 individual research investigations to provide a deeper understanding of how the undergraduate experience affects student populations. Volume 3 contains the findings accumulated between 2002 and 2013, covering diverse aspects of college impact, including cognitive and moral development, attitudes and values, psychosocial change, educational attainment, and the economic, career, and quality of life outcomes after college. Each chapter compares current findings with those of Volumes 1 and 2 (covering 1967 to 2001) and highlights the extent of agreement and disagreement in research findings over the past 45 years. The structure of each chapter allows readers to understand if and how college works and, of equal importance, for whom does it work. This book is an invaluable resource for administrators, faculty, policymakers, and student affairs practitioners, and provides key insight into the impact of their work. Higher education is under more intense scrutiny than ever before, and understanding its impact on students is critical for shaping the way forward. This book distills important research on a broad array of topics to provide a cohesive picture of student experiences and outcomes by: Reviewing a decade's worth of research; Comparing current findings with those of past decades; Examining a multifaceted analysis of higher education's impact; and Informing policy and practice with empirical evidence Amidst the current introspection and skepticism surrounding higher education, there is a massive body of research that must be synthesized to enhance understanding of college's effects. How College Affects Students compiles, organizes, and distills this information in one place, and makes it available to research and practitioner audiences; Volume 3 provides insight on the past decade, with the expert analysis characteristic of this seminal work.

ANNA. This is my dream.

By: ANDREA WiLK,A.D. WiLK

Unglaublich wie ein paar Seiten, dein Leben verändern können. // Leser ___ Anna liebt ihr Leben. Ihren Mann, ihre beiden Teenager und ihre beste Freundin. Ihr Job ist okay und eigentlich gibt es nichts, über dass sie sich beschweren darf. Als sie das vierte Mal 39 wird, fehlt dennoch etwas in ihrem Leben. In der Fußgängerzone trifft sie auf die 23-jährige Straßenmusikerin Grace. Gezogen von Grace‘ Stimme lässt sich Anna dazu überreden, mit ihr zu singen. Dabei entsteht eine Magie, wie Anna sie nie zuvor gespürt hat. Es beginnt eine tiefe musikalische Freundschaft zwischen den beiden Frauen. Eine Verbindung, die so echt und so vertraut ist, dass Anna sich wieder erlaubt zu träumen. Gemeinsam fallen sie in die Liebe zur Musik, der Erfolg baut sich auf und alles scheint leicht und perfekt. Bis zu jenem Moment, in dem Anna die Wahrheit über Grace erfährt. Eine Wahrheit, die es unmöglich macht, dass sie den gemeinsamen Traum bis zum Ziel verfolgen.
