Trivers description of human reciprocal altruism certainly gives prominence to emotions. This behavioral system may have evolved from dominance hierarchization, an ethological concept (Weisfeld, 1980). There seems to be an opportunity to analyze other social psychological phenomena in adaptive terms usually they are explained only in terms of very narrow, specific mini-theories. Roes (1993) has offered an evolutionary explanation of reactance theory, for example.

Comprehensive studies based on rodent models of anxiety have not only underlined that anxiety in itself represents a complex behavioral system but also that it is determined by both genetic and environmental factors as well as by the interaction between both. The examples used in this section have been selected to illustrate both the potential and the caveats of current models and the emerging possibilities offered by gene technology. These examples are thought to be representative of the different concepts followed in generating animal models.

In patients with DSPS, a delay in the timing of physiological and behavioral systems that demonstrate circadian rhythmicity is reported, compared to normally entrained individuals. This delay is evident in a variety of functions, including secretion of the pineal hormone melatonin (e.g., Ref. 162), thermoregulation, and sleep-wake activity. Individuals with DSPS typically experience difficulty initiat-...

Serotonin modulates numerous physiological and behavioral systems in the human body and is involved in a wide variety of clinical disorders. In the ENS, for example, serotonin plays pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of the carcinoid syndrome and the irritable bowel syndrome. Differences in serotonin receptor subtypes provide a strong rationale for using pharmaceutical agents that selectively act on serotonin receptors in the treatment of these clinical disorders. ... 

Process safety, a discipline that focuses on the prevention of fires, explosions and accidental chemical releases at chemical process facilities, is a key element for a sustainable industrial chemistry, as indicated in the previous sections. There are three key elements for process safety behavior, system and process. 

The results of all the cases discussed in this section show that the type of phase behavior system is very important to the oil recovery factor, whereas the absolute salinity values are not important, at least for the data set used in these cases. 

Because the highest oil recovery factor depends on the type of microemulsion, we must ensure the surfactant sing is in the phase type that leads to the highest oil recovery factor. In other words, the snrfactant sing shonld be in the optimum phase behavior system. Therefore, we propose a concept of optimum salinity profile (OSP). The proposed optimnm salinity profile is schematically shown in Figure 8.16. It can be described as follows ... 

From Figs. 3a and 3b, it is deduced that structure sensitivity should appear only for particles with d less than about 5 nm. It is convenient to call systems that actually exhibit this behavior systems with limited structure sensitivity. On the other hand, if geometric effects are governed by ensembles of several atoms, then structure sensitivity should extend to diameters considerably greater than 5 nm. This behavior we call extended structure sensitivity. In other words, with limited structure sensitivity, the system is structure insensitive for d > 5 nm. A glance at the figures in the rest of this review shows that many actual systems present extended structure sensitivity.

Adaptation—the process of recovery from a stimulated behavior when the stimulus is still present—is essential for every behavioral system. It allows detection of small changes in the stimulus level on top of existing, constant level of stimulation. In the case of bacterial chemotaxis, adaptation enables bacteria to respond to new stimuli in the presence of constant levels of chemoattractants and/or chemorepellents.

Bottom line pressures, management turnover and good old human nature just about guarantee a steady stream of safety issues to deal with. So the hunt never ends for the next new thing to cure, or at least arrest, those chronic challenges. Behavior-based safety has been the medicine of choice in recent years. But interest shows signs of waning, and the field s experts now prescribe a cocktail mix of behavioral, systems and motivational remedies.

For this consideration shown here it is necessary to eliminate the time dependency by introducing the meta parameter X that denotes that system specific quantities can be used (e.g. driven kilometers, time of usage, useful life, and others). Identical (relating to their damaging behavior) systems fail at different points in time as shown in Figure 2. 

In order to really solve the design-time bottleneck for real-time system design this is not sufficient. There is a clear need for higher level design support, including synthesis tools at the architectural or behavioral (system) level which include power- and area-efficient automated techniques. The tools should still be fully controllable by the designer, so user interaction is another key issue. We believe that in order to achieve this ambitious goal, we need [9] ... 

We want our book s ideas to mindmeld with readers interested in simulating behavioral systems. We also hope to reach two other interested groups. First, we would like policymakers to see how numerical simulation of a complete set of policy interactions — main effects as well as side effects — leads to better use of scare government resources. Second, we hope to convince empirical researchers to add numerical simulation to their tool kits to supplement their econometric research methods. 

The response to metatarsal odor consists of increased alertness. Only females show a response and they do so to both male and female metatarsal scent (254), but Odocoileus virginicus, the white tailed deer, does not exhibit this alarm behavior system to the same degree (299). It has also been observed that two subspecies of blacktailed deer, O. he-mionus columbianus and O.h. hemionus, can distinguish each other in this manner. Such discrimination may be important in sexual isolation of the species (254).
