This series of titles is aimed at A-level psychology students in sixth forms and further education colleges and those wishing to obtain an overview of psychology. The books are easy to use, with comprehensive notes written in coherent language; clear flagging of key concepts; relevant and interesting illustrations; well-defined objectives and further reading sections to each chapter; and selfassessment questions at regular intervals throughout the text.

De-Westernizing Film Studies

“…12 Eshun and Gray (2011: 2) advance this concept in relation to the militant image or intention. For "perceptual constancy" and other basic cognitive psychology notions, see introductory works such as Anderson (1995) and Malim (1994); on thought, the human mind, representation, and cognitive science see Crane (2003). 13 Racist reactions to "black," more animal than human, always emanate from the lower brain area.…”

Determinants of Oligonucleotide Selectivity of APOBEC3B

“…The APOBEC3 (A3) family of cytidine deaminases is a recently discovered endogenous source of mutation in cancer. [1][2][3] Previously, A3 proteins were studied in the context of their interactions with viruses 4,5 and efforts were undertaken to discover small molecules that modulate the mutational activities of the virally restrictive APOBEC3G enzyme. [6][7][8] Later studies linked A3-driven mutagenesis to cancer progression and recurrence.…”

Novel design of cognitive system strategies

“…The desired objectives are based on the achievements referring to the three components of a cognitive system: the action which is external (the robot control) [3] and internal [4] (the approaching of a behavior through which the system focuses on a certain problem); the perception, which suppose the interpreting of the signals obtained from the sensorial system and the using of this interpretation in describing a situation that triggers the reasoning; the reasoning which is the one that co-ordinates the action and the perception. According to [3], the reasoning is conducted in terms of two functions, symbolizing and manipulating the symbols.…”

According to [3], the reasoning is conducted in terms of two functions, symbolizing and manipulating the symbols.The following requirements are pointed out regarding the limitations of the domain and the less approached directions (because of the novelty of the domain):-Up to now the research focused on the organizing of the cognitive system. We consider in [24] that the auto-organizing of the knowledge process can be obtained by knowledge process itself.…”
