Wisdom and Folly in Euripides

The volume throws fresh light on a major polarity in Euripidean drama, including its roots in the tradition and its reception in vase-painting and literature. Virtually all Euripidean characters are subject to folly and claim some measure of wisdom. Leading international scholars discuss the polarity and the plays’ ambiguities from various angles and theoretical perspectives, offering trenchant insights into moral, social and historical issues.

“Ephebe” denotes both an adolescent and a soldier in training, a member of the
Athenian military organization known as the ephebeia who spent his military
service in the frontier forts guarding the Athenian periphery.2 89 VidalNacquet ...

Intelligent Financial Portfolio Composition based on Evolutionary Computation Strategies

The management of financial portfolios or funds constitutes a widely known problematic in financial markets which normally requires a rigorous analysis in order to select the most profitable assets. This subject is becoming popular among computer scientists which try to adapt known Intelligent Computation techniques to the market’s domain. This book proposes a potential system based on Genetic Algorithms, which aims to manage a financial portfolio by using technical analysis indicators. The results are promising since the approach clearly outperforms the remaining approaches during the recent market crash.

Abstract This chapter presents a brief description on the problematic addressed
by this book, namely the management of financial portfolios using intelligent
computation techniques. Additionally, the main goals for the work presented in

Abnormal Psychology, First Canadian Edition with Introduction to the DSM-5

Abnormal Psychology, has long been considered one of the most authoritative and comprehensive texts in its field. It takes a bio-psycho-social approach to abnormal behaviour, and covers the most current and in-depth information about biological influences on the entire spectrum of behavioural abnormalities. It also covers a balance of multicultural studies and phenomena, which offer an integrative view. Extensive case studies of individuals with various disorders appear throughout the book. Some are brief excerpts; others are detailed analyses. These cases bring disorders to life, while reminding students of the human factor that is so intimately a part of the subject matter of this text. The abundance of research discoveries surfacing in the field today has broadened our understanding of psychopathology, improving upon theories and treatments practiced just a decade ago. The goal of this book is, and always has been, to present to students these exciting discoveries and to offer the most thoroughly researched and up-to-date analyses of psychopathology. The Canadian first edition of Abnormal Psychology has been thoroughly updated--hundreds of new references throughout accurately reflect the ever-changing field of abnormal psychology.

The goal of this book is, and always has been, to present to students these exciting discoveries and to offer the most thoroughly researched and up-to-date analyses of psychopathology.

Transcranial Brain Stimulation for Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was introduced in the mid 1980s in clinical neurophysiology to study the central motor pathways. Research has been exponentially increased since, and many different methods for brain stimulation have been considered during the last decade. This publication focuses on transcranially applied, non- or low-invasive interventions not requiring an implantable device, i.e. electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), repetitive TMS (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). It provides an excellent overview on this spectrum of fascinating techniques. Many leading experts in this field have contributed to this book. A single chapter summarizes the state of the art in ECT. A series of chapters provides an overview on preclinical research in animals and neuroimaging findings with rTMS and reviews the evidence of efficacy and safety in various psychiatric disorders (affective disorders, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders) also including an article on the application of rTMS in nonpsychiatric diseases, i.e. Parkinson's disease, stroke, pain and tinnitus. Finally, separate reviews discuss very recent innovative approaches in the field of rTMS, i.e. magnetic seizure therapy, theta burst stimulation and deep rTMS. This publication will doubtlessly prove to be essential reading not only to researchers in this field, but also to psychiatrists, neurologists and other clinicians who consider applying these new methods in clinical settings

Drugs and the Developing Brain

The thalidomide tragedy which occurred slightly more than a decade ago made public officials and the general public acutely aware of the teratogenic potential of drugs. Although specialists in pharmacology and developmental biology had been studying this problem many years before, this catastrophic episode triggered the passage of legislation which required that information about the teratogenicity of drugs be produced before the drugs could be available to the general public. Gross deformities in man produced by drugs are frequently difficult to reproduce in experimental animals and the changes which are produced in other animals are frequently not translatable to humans. The problem of evaluating the potential that drugs have to produce gross malformations is small, however, compared to the evaluation of subtle but permanent behavioral effects which drugs may exert upon the developing organism. Nevertheless, many experimental studies in recent years indicate that subtle biochemical changes produced by drugs on brain tissue during critical periods of fetal or early post natal maturation may become manifest subsequently as behavioral deviations in early childhood or adolescence. Hyperkinetic disorders, epilepsies and other developmental disabilities may have a subtle biochemical imbalance, perhaps drug induced, as an underlying factor. This symposium was organized with the intent of bringing to gether prominent investigators who are working in different aspects of brain development and who are interested in the effects of drugs on the developing brain in order to discuss their findings, pro pose new theories, and open new avenues for future research.
