"From physician and neuroscientist Russell Kennedy, MD comes an award-winning book that offers a revolutionary, life-changing approach to healing anxiety. Dive into the refined and practically upgraded second edition. After years of trying different therapies for his debilitating anxiety without success, Dr. Russell Kennedy had an epiphany: anxiety does not start in the brain. Anxiety starts in the body, where trauma is stored and physical and emotional perception begin. Alarm bells originating in the body are what trigger those anxious thoughts that we call anxiety, and Russ realized that true healing starts only when we learn not to conflate the two. He understood that existing therapies focused only on the mind would never get to the root of the problem-at best, they could help manage symptoms, but they'd never truly heal anxiety. Wanting to make a difference for the millions who suffer from anxiety disorder, Russ created Anxiety Rx, a book that blends his personal story with medical science, neuroscience, and developmental psychology. Readers learn how to sever the connection between the somatic alarm and the flood of anxious thoughts-in the process they begin to heal old trauma and gain a sense of control previously unknown. Russ offers techniques not only for our thinking minds, but for our feeling bodies, changing not just our mindset, but our "body-set." Unraveling the intricate relationship between anxiety, the body, and the mind, Anxiety Rx offers a profound path toward healing and growth"--

The heart-warming true story of the rescue dog who never gave upWhen you are racing 435 miles through the jungles and mountains of South America, the last thing you need is a stray dog tagging along. But that's exactly what happened to Mikael Lindnord, captain of a Swedish adventure racing team, when he threw a scruffy but dignified mongrel a meatball one evening.When they left the next day, the dog followed.Try as they might, they couldn't lose him - and soon Mikael realised he didn't want to. Crossing rivers, battling illness and injury, and struggling through some of the toughest terrain on the planet, the team and the dog walked together towards the finish line, where Mikael decided he would save Arthur and bring him back to his family in Sweden, whatever it took.

'Martin Seligman has given us a gift - a practical map in the perennial quest for a flourishing life' Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional IntelligenceIn this groundbreaking, heart-lifting and deeply useful book, Martin Seligman, internationally esteemed psychologist and the father of Positive Psychology, shows us that happiness can be learned and cultivated. Using many years of in-depth psychological research he lays out the 24 strengths and virtues unique to the human psyche and teaches you how to identify the ones you possess. By calling upon your signature strengths, you will not only develop natural buffers against misfortune and negative emotion, but also improve the world around you - at work, in love and in raising children - achieving new and sustainable contentment, joy and meaning. 'One of the most creative and influential psychologists of our time' Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of Our Nature 'This book will change how people view psychology and how all of us view ourselves' Howard Gardner, Harvard University, author of Multiple Intelligences Martin Seligman PhD, is Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, Director of the Positive Psychology Network, and is an Honorary Professor at the University of Cardiff. A former President of the American Psychological Association, his books include Flourish and What You Can Change ... and What You Can't. He is widely considered the pre-eminent expert on applied psychology in the world.
Are mind and machine capable of solving the same tasks? Creativity is one of the arguments that some philosophers and psychologists use as a proof of what computers cannot achieve; however, these arguments might be based on a misconception of what both intelligence and creativity mean. This book provides arguments supporting that creativity, as storytelling, can be emulated through computer programs. The assumption of creativity presents a major problem: Complexity. Even if we consider creativity just as a product of novel ways of achieving a goal, the number of combinations found when dealing with the ¿real world¿ is astronomically huge. We can recall The Library of Babel (Borges, 1944), a library that contains any possible book that could be written in the history of humanity. This metaphor reveals the combinatory problem that emerges if a brute force algorithm is designed to generate texts. According to our hypothesis, our proposal is a heuristic that uses simple syntactic and semantic properties found in a text corpus in order to generate novel and coherent fiction texts based on what has been already written.

Document from the year 2016 in the subject Medicine - Pharmacology, Pharmacy, , course: Pharmaceutical technology, language: English, abstract: The aim of this book is to provide a brief but comprehensive overview on the issue of biodegradable polymers. The introduction chapter is followed by a description of the general characteristics of biodegradable polymers and pathways of their degradation in the human body. Particular pitfalls and specifics of their various biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, especially in the field of pharmaceutical technology, are described in order to define the ideal carrier polymer system for specific types of therapy. Finally, the work presents the classification of these polymers based on the type of degradation mechanism. This section also includes the chemical structure of particular polymer molecules, their chemical or bio-synthesis and the description of their uses in specific biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. The book could be used as a textbook for students of medical and pharmaceutical sciences as well as by researchers in this field or industrial area. In the past few decades, biodegradable polymers have reached significant importance in fields of biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. They have become preferred candidates for the manufacture of therapeutic forms, for instance, orthopaedics devices, temporary bone screws and spins, three-dimensional scaffolds for tissue engineering or drug delivery systems for sustained and targeted release. Each of these applications requires material with specific physical, biological, and chemical properties, as well as specific degradation profile. These polymers (natural or synthetic) undergo hydrolytic or enzymatic degradation, which both have some advantages and disadvantages. Most widely used polymer materials in biomedical applications are listed, including their structure and degradation pathways.

This book offers a unique perspective on the aerodynamic and mechanical design features of centrifugal compressors. It provides detailed explanations of auxiliary systems to support engineering professionals involved in the specification, application, and selection of compression strings and packages.The book covers the fundamentals of centrifugal compressor casing and internal design, complemented by in-depth analysis of impellers and rotors. Chapters on surge detection and control, couplings, dry gas seals and their support systems, and lubrication oil systems provide a comprehensive understanding of the underlying theory, operational principles, and design processes.Topics such as lateral rotordynamics, advanced torsional analysis, shop testing, specialized engineering analyses, and condition monitoring address key knowledge-based engineering parameters. These are essential for achieving industry-standard-compliant designs, optimal performance, safety, and long-term reliability in service.In addition to discussing conventional concrete foundations, the chapter on machinery modularization introduces innovative installation strategies. These include shifting significant portions of site work to module yards, reducing material movement at job sites, and lowering costs associated with construction and pre-commissioning activities. Machinery and process modules contribute to optimized plot layouts, ultimately reducing the total installed cost of process plant facilities.Comprehensive and detailed technical specifications for inquiries and purchases aim to eliminate guesswork, misinterpretation, and scope gaps. Errors or omissions in purchase orders can be costly and difficult to rectify during project execution. The chapter on compressor specifications, proposal evaluation, and design coordination addresses these challenges using real-world examples.In light of global initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a dedicated chapter explores the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO¿). It discusses the two primary compressor types used for CO¿ compression, provides an overview of sequestration processes and current challenges, and highlights new technologies that extend the life of compressor materials. Configuration options for improved overall efficiency are also examined.
