(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) constitute one of the 10 leading causes of preventable deaths worldwide. To date, there are only a few Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved medications for AUDs, all of which are only ... -
Plant Genomics. Chapter 1: Genomics Era for Plants and Crop Species – Advances Made and Needed Tasks Ahead
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Historically, unintentional plant selection and subsequent crop domestication, coupled with the need and desire to get more food and feed products, have resulted in the continuous development of plant breeding and genetics ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 7: Dual Diagnosis Patients First Admitted to a Psychiatric Ward for Acute Psychiatric Patients: 2-Year Period 2003–2004 versus 2013–2014
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Dual diagnosis (DD) is the coexistence of severe mental illness (SMI) and substance use disorder (SUD). The increase of DD observed in recent years has important implications for mental health services organization. The ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 1: Circuits Regulating Pleasure and Happiness: A Focus on Addiction, Beyond the Ventral Striatum
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)A recently developed anatomical model describes how the intensity of reward-seeking and misery-fleeing behaviours is regulated. The first type of behaviours is regulated within an extrapyramidal cortical–subcortical circuit ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 4: Dopamine and Alcohol Dependence: From Bench to Clinic
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Alcohol dependence, a chronic relapsing psychiatric disorder, is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. The role of dopamine in alcohol‐induced reward as well in the development of alcohol dependence is reviewed herein. ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 2: Epigenetics and Drug Abuse
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Gene expression and inheritance are not only a function of the DNA code, but also epigenetic mechanisms that regulate DNA accessibility, transcription, and translation of the genetic code into a functional protein. Epigenetic ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 3: Alcohol Cues, Craving, and Relapse: Insights from Animal Models
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Alcoholism is a chronic relapsing and remitting disorder, where relapse to drinking is often triggered by an intense desire for alcohol (craving) and the consequent motivation to obtain alcohol (seeking). Environmental ... -
FYE 103 - Career Exploration (1st Edition)
(Bay College, 2015)This course is designed to assist students in developing a career path. Through self-assessment exercises, which evaluate skills, interests, personality, and values, students will become aware of various career options. ... -
Analysis and Investigation of the Inverter for Energy Transfer from Small Wind Power Plant to Common Grid
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2010)The specific proportion of the parameters in the system: Small power source - Inverter with hysteresis controller - Grid causes unprofitable phenomena and difficulties with choice of the filter parameters, hysteresis band ... -
Doubly-fed Induction Generator Drives for Wind Power Plants
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2010)The basics of electrical drives in rotating dq-coordinate system was introduced as well as the classical definition of active and reactive powers leading to the complex power. Electrical power generation, specifically the ... -

Continuous Machine Learning in Computer Vision - Tracking with Adaptive Class Models
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)This chapter has explored a number of techniques in vision based tracking, with the common theme of continuous relearning of models of the background and the tracked -
Small Wind Turbine Power Controllers
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2010)Almost all wind energy systems require a controller to prevent damage to the turbine and the load. With advances in power electronics and microcontrollers, inexpensive yet sophisticated power controllers can be produced ... -
A Sensors System for Indoor Localisation of a Moving Target Based on Infrared Pattern Recognition
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)A novel method for the indoor localisation of a target was presented in this chapter. This method is based on measuring the number of the digital infrared patterns received by the target in a specific time interval (success ... -
Projective Rectification with Minimal Geometric Distortion
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)This chapter presented a new way of parameterizing the homography, which leads to a new approach of projective rectification for stereo images. Compared with the previous works, the novelty of this new algorithm is that ... -
