Despite their major differences, there is one notable area of agreement between psychodynamic and behavioral models of addiction: both place significant emphasis on past experience. For Freud especially, the famous line from Wordsworth’s poem, “The child is the father of the man,” was a profound truth, and he was convinced that adult character is shaped during the first 5 or 6 years of life.

In the following discussion I will examine the application of Wittgenstein’s concept of family resemblance to genre theory. Despite its popularity among literary theorists, there is sometimes a discrepancy between the loose concept of family resemblance, at least in its negative-radical version, and the practical assumptions made about genres. In order to overcome the inadequacies of existing a...

In this paper a discrete-time observer-based approach to Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) for industrial robotic manipulators is presented and experimentally tested. In order to counteract the effects of unmodeled dynamics and disturbances, a time-delayed estimate of such effects is adopted. Remarkably, the observer is designed directly in the discrete-time domain. The performance of the pro...

Constructivists about memory argue that memory is a capacity for building representations of past events from a generalized information store (e.g., De Brigard, in Synthese 191:155–185, 2014a; Michaelian, in Philos Psychol 24:323–342, 2012). The view is motivated by thememory errors discovered in cognitive psychology. Little has been known about the neural mechanisms by which false memories are...

metals bioaccumulation in five organs of cirrhinus  mrigala , labeo  rohita and catla catla captured from three industrial and sewage polluted downstream sites (shahdera = b, sunder = c and balloki = d) were compared with a non-industrial upstream site (siphon = a) during high (post monsoon) and low (winter) flow seasons of river ravi. mean concentrations of metals were significantly higher in ...

continued) Also, the extent to which intrinsic vs. extrinsic factors contribute to work motivation was studied. A Valence-Instrumentality-Expectancy (YIE) model of motivation was employed. A questionnaire was administered to a cross-section of 207 naval personnel which comprised over 50 work groups. A rating form was given to the supervisor of each work group. It was found that internals more t...

In 1991, Guilford and Dawkins published their iconic paper on ‘receiver psychology’ in Animal Behaviour (42, 1e14), and proposed that the ways in which animals detect, discriminate and learn about relevant stimuli in their environmen...
