    Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR) is a 920 MW (thermal) heavy water moderated and boiling light water cooled thermal reactor. Considering the large thorium reserves in India, the future nuclear power program will be based on thorium 233U fuel cycle. However, there is a need for the timely development of thorium based technologies for the entire fuel cycle. The Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR) has been designed to fulfill this need. The physical dimensions of AHWR are large compared to the neutron migration length in the core, due to which a serious situation called ¿flux tilt¿ may arise in AHWR. Further, situations such as on-line refueling might cause transient variations in flux-shape from the nominal flux-shape. For analysis and control of spatial oscillation developed in AHWR, it is necessary to design a suitable control strategy, which will be able to stabilize these oscillations. In this book, modern control techniques are employed for spatial control of AHWR. The modern control techniques considered here, are Multirate Output Feedback based control and Fuzzy Logic based control.

    Another Self explains why we sometimes take on the physical, emotional, and even mental states of others. In this book-the first overview of somatic empathy-Dr Engel brings together research into social perception and interpersonal physiology to explain how and why our thoughts and feelings are not always entirely our own. Do you wince when you see someone stub their toe, feel your throat tighten when a friend cries, or know what someone is going to say just before they say it? New evidence reveals that this tendency to 'catch' others' emotional and physiological condition is not merely a quirk of a few sensitive individuals but a fundamental aspect of human intelligence: that feeling with others is an ancient strategy reaching back into our evolutionary past enabling us to predict the intentions of others. This newfound appreciation for somatic empathy has implications in many domains-mental and physical health issues, animal welfare, and personal wellbeing. Understanding how somatic empathy impacts on us day to day without our knowing enables us to optimise empathy while sidestepping the perils of vicarious harm, overwhelm, and burnout. Another Self unveils why your dentist can make more mistakes when you are nervous, how a professional tennis player can predict where an opponents's serve will land even before their racket hits the ball, why your dog gets anxious when you are unwell, why remote military drone pilots can suffer more PTSD than their colleagues in battle, and why you can feel so physically discombobulated when a close relationship ends. Be prepared to reassess your sense of self, your relationships, your occupation, and your choice of entertainment.

    Heavenly Hope and Healing... "I wasn't invisible...I wasn't a throwaway. I had value. I was important. I was loved..."During her search for truth and purpose, a woman finds answers in the most unexpected way-and shares her journey in this moving memoir that will empower other survivors of abuse and those navigating life with any neurodiverse condition.Jeanne Poussière candidly reveals scars from her childhood when abuse intertwined with each developmental stage and left her often fighting for her life. As a neurodivergent child, she faced a roller coaster of lies and labels-set by society-that defined her identity, yet she refused to settle and let the system determine her fate.Change is hard, and resilience is harder, but Jeanne began a quest to find answers and unravel the threads of her neurodivergent experiences-one choice at a time. Her pivotal moment is what she calls an "Encounter" with God in which she was given a new perspective and a road map toward healing. Come along for an unforgettable story that will uplift and ignite the human spirit.

    Brains Inspiring Businesses is a book whose central function is to make using the new understandings about human behaviour in organizations that are coming from the modern brain sciences (and not psychology) more accessible to leaders.The fourteen contributors have all been dedicated to learning about how the brain works. Over the last 10 years they have taken that knowledge out into their individual and corporate consulting practices - and the chapters in this books are experiences at the coalface of consulting, with what they have discovered whilst incorporating the value of knowing about the brain into their work.There is a major paradigm shift about understanding human behaviour going on this century. We need to be conscious of it if we are to have the early advantage of its immense value. It is this that the modern brain sciences are offering us: a new, scientifically verified perspective on what we humans are and how that manifests itself as complex human behaviour. Leaders should have the advantage of being able to use the new understandings of Brain and Behaviour in Organizations for the benefit not only of profits but for creating a sense of purpose, satisfaction and enjoyment in achieving corporate operational and strategic goals. In such organizations human endeavour will be transformed into profit, without profit - important though it is - being the single target of performance.The modern brain sciences are telling us that it is our emotional system that generates the myriad of feelings through which, by having them attached to experience, we can make sense of our world. Our thinking system is there to give us post hoc understanding of what our brain has already decided. We are fundamentally an energy system however. We now know that energy is based on the unique 'e-motional' (energy into action) patterning of each of our brains, which is what makes us the individuals we are. Created from individual life experience attached to our unique genetics. It is from this that each of us has been and is created as the person that we understand ourselves to be. It is minute voltage electricity that powers our brain, our central controller, backed by sufficient food - our only source of energy - in the form of glucose, with our brain uniquely organized by the experiences of our first 24 years of life. We are driven, mostly non-consciously, by the 86 billion brain cells that our individual life experience has forged into these emotionally formed patterns, not by our thinking system.

    Individuals of Asian descent are a demographic often overlooked in mainstream body image scholarship. Historically, body image concerns were thought to only affect white, upper-to-middle-class women in North America and Western Europe. However, empirical data accumulated in recent decades have subverted this myth. Contrary to popular belief and stereotypes that Asian Americans are a Model Minority in the United States, they experience significant body image concerns, as well as related disordered eating and mental health challenges. Asian diasporas in Western countries also face challenges similar to those faced by Asian Americans (e.g., racialized and objectified views of Asians). Asian nationals in Asia, on the other hand, are juggling between their collective and national standards of beauty/fitness and the body-image ideals propagated through commercialism and capitalization amidst the historical context of colonization and the contemporary atmosphere of globalization. Body Image and the Asian Experience: Asians, Asian Americans, and Asian Diasporas Across the Globe discusses the dearth of knowledge-and sometimes misinformation-about body image among people of Asian descent, including Asian nationals dwelling in Asia and those in the diaspora (Asian Americans, Asian immigrants in the United Kingdom, Australia, etc.). The first section of the book reviews the applicability of existing theories in understanding the body image experiences of individuals of Asian descent and proposes a new theoretical framework that emphasizes both decolonizing and intersectional perspectives in conceptualizing Asian body image. The next section examines the current state of research on body image among Asians, Asian Americans, and Asian diasporas around the globe, including attending to some seriously neglected specific demographic and social identity groups. The last section explores mental health and psychosocial implications of body image in the aspects of mental disorders, interpersonal and social relationships, and identity development.

    "A must-read for everyone who is pushing the boundaries of their performance."Finding Flow is for EveryoneFinding flow is a unique experience. It's that illustrious zone in which heightened perception and creativity turn your actions into a fluid dance. It's a state of mind that we all experience, but rarely by design. It is commonly thought that you only flow when the stars align, but the methodology described in this book puts achieving a flow state squarely within the realm of skills. Skills that can be trained and maintained with the right approach to mental fitness!"A profound and innovative perspective on how to train to thrive."Unleash Your MindSomething fundamental has been missing in our approach to mental health. Surprisingly, it's something that has been part of physical health for decades: preventative training for functional fitness. When it comes to our mind, we tend to wait until we break and then look for recovery in comfort. The problem is that we rarely need our mental skills when we are in comfort. This book shifts the paradigm and shows you how to train your mind like you train your body. It identifies the core skills and attributes for mental fitness and a way to unleash your mind under pressure.

    The prefrontal cortex is known to play important roles for performing a variety of higher cognitive functions. Among regions of the prefrontal cortex, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex plays the most important roles for these functions. This book focuses on functions of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, summarizes research results obtained mainly by non-human primate studies, and describes neural mechanisms of executive functions that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex participates. First, to understand the feature of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and how its function has been understood, anatomical and functional features of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and historical overview of prefrontal functions are described. To understand functions of the prefrontal cortex and neural mechanisms of executive functions, working memory is an important concept and sustained activation during the memory period of working memory tasks is known as a neural mechanism of working memory. Therefore, this book describes features of sustained memory-related activity based on neurophysiological results obtained in the prefrontal cortex and how memory-related activity contributes to executive functions including control of attention, inhibitory control, task management, and planning. And further, this book describes how the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex contributes to neural mechanisms for sensory and motor processing, memory control in multi-task performance, decision-making, metacognition, and top-down control. Thus, this book provides important information regarding neural mechanisms of dorsolateral prefrontal functions to neuroscientists and helps to plan further investigation to understand prefrontal functions in primates and human subjects.
