Goal pursuit

Are all emotions so modular Consider the emotions that mediate social exchange in comparison to those that mediate goal pursuit. While detection of cheaters is important, several other situations have recurred often in the course of social exchange as modelled by the familiar Prisoner s Dilemma. Each situation has been so important in the course of evolution that it may well have shaped a particular emotion. Indeed, we can readily match recognized emotions to these domain-specific situations (Table 1).

Whilst total elimination of volatile organic solvents from all chemical manufacturing processes is a worthy goal, the pursuit of this goal must be subject to some caution. Alternative organic solvent-free processes may have poor heat and/or mass transfer and/or viscosity limitations, which could result in excessive energy use or the production of less pure...

As a result of the work of early pioneers like Berzelius and Kekule reports on studies of materials we now recognize as high molecular weight, the natural polymers as well as those inadvertent tars from work performed in the pursuit of other goals, frequently used the term, polymer. 

The literature on deconvolution is rich with the contributions of many investigators. These contributions are, however, scattered among journals devoted to numerous specialties. No single volume has been available that provides both an overview and the detail needed by a newcomer to this field. When a specific need arises, a recent journal article or the advice of a colleague often initiates a considerable, but not always successful, search. The lack of a suitable volume has fostered this understandable approach. Although it may be sorely needed, deconvolution is a distraction for the researcher in pursuit of personal scientific goals. The present work conveys an understanding of the field and presents under one cover a selection of the most effective, practical techniques.
