Investment psychology

The various ways to represent MIMs on paper have often been a portrayal of beauty in their own right. In Sect. 3, we tried to engage the beauty of printed molecular representations. There remain many other ways to perceive the beauty of molecular objects, some of them particularly unique to MIMs, but things get messier when we depart from concrete illustrations and images and venture into even more subjective territory. Roald Hoffman, pioneer of molecular aesthetics, has approached beauty in chemistry from the perspective that beauty is built out of individual pleasure around an object or idea [126]. The aesthetic experience of molecular structures is therefore inexorably tied together with our subjective biases. Synthetically derived molecules are retroactively beautified out of a psychological need to associate pleasure with hard work. We find reasons to label a molecule beautiful and experiments elegant, because we invested work, time, and failure to achieve them. Nevertheless, these notions of beauty are common to the experiences of... 

By virtue of its severity and clinical impact, major depression is the primary focus of this chapter. However, given its prevalence in outpatient settings, dysthymic disorder—a mild but long-lasting depression— merits additional comments as well. Dysthymic disorder receives less attention from clinicians and less intellectual investment by researchers than major depression, although recently this trend has been somewhat reversed. Dysthymia is not as severe and disabling as MDD, yet it inflicts considerable psychological pain and personal and social burdens. 

We believe that studies to determine the potential long-term psychologic/neurologic sequelae following repeated low-level exposures to OP are confounded by factors such as low response rates, possible selection and follow-up biases (which is certainly the case for nerve CW agent), compensatory psychological response, possible co-exposures and the like. Although the recent national investment into additional research has emphasized animal research, we are hopeful that a more comprehensive assessment of... 

The sales representative must have excellent emotional stability in addition to other personality characteristics and intelligence. Therefore, some form of psychological testing should be utilized to be certain that the individual will measure up to the investment (on the order of 500,000) that will be made in him over the next few years. By taking this viewpoint, one can readily recognize the necessity for proper selection procedures for new personnel. 

These results may lead us to various conclusions. Apparently, a habituation resulted from the repetition of the same task situation. The challenging character or newness was gradually lost, and consequently a decrease of the adrenaline reaction was observed. On the other hand, the elevated adrenaline levels after the intensified working day may indicate that the subjects had to invest compensatory effort in performing the memory search tasks. This was confirmed by the performance data and the data on the subjective estimations of effort expenditure during the memory search tasks. The expenditure of compensatory effort in this condition, however, did not result in better performances compared to the other conditions. Noradrenaline levels were not related to these two psychological aspects of the task performance. This is in accordance with the theory that this hormone is not highly related to the mobilization of mental /psychic resources. 

A career in the medical device industry can be psychologically and financially rewarding. Most bioengineers do not optimize their career path, and thus miss out on many of these rewards. Take the extra time and effort to optimize your career, and the payoff will be large, ft is worth the investment to do it right. 

These conditions are not always present. To invest in the prevention of occupational injury implies that the small business employer sees as preventable - and related to exposure - one lost-time injury every second year among his ten workers (in a high risk environment) without considering the reason why the other nine had no injuries during the period. This represents a psychological, an analytical and a micro-economic dilemma.
