Despite his academic and social successes, Carothers regarded graduate school as a form of slavery. . . with all the elements of adventure and... 

One of the most extraordinary, important, and potent features of the brain-mind is the construct of the self. As yet we cannot give an adequate account of how a brain comes to instantiate a self, but this still obscure integration process clearly involves memory and emotion, the two modules of the brain-mind that have always been of greatest interest to psychodynamic psychology. Now that we know how memory and emotion are altered in a state-dependent way, we can use that information to generate new approaches to their access, interpretation, and manipulation in the interest of personal satisfaction and social success. 

Hinde One has to be awfully careful to make clear what we mean by adaptation. In my view, we must not talk about social success as being an adaptation that will lead us right up the wrong path.

In an ideal inclusive world, the onus would not be on the disabled student to overcome these obstacles, or the obstacles themselves would have ceased to exist as such but the world the project students were entering was not ideal in this respect and therefore, particularly at secondary level, social success appeared to depend on the possession of unusually developed social skills. 

Corporate environmentalism is an evolving concept for environmental protection. In this case, business takes a pro-active stance independent of regulatory authorities. This can be in recognition of social responsibilities, but is more successful when compelled by competition in the market place. Thus, a hrm can conscientiously target environmentally aware consumers (through marketing environmentally friendly products or processes) or can be better placed for hnancial support from ethical investment funding bodies. 

Any colony optimization (ACO) and swarm intelligence are forms of agent-based modeling inspired by colonies of social animals such as ants and bees [32]. ACO has become popular in engineering for optimal routing in water distribution systems [33, 34]. Particle swarm optimization has been successfully used to train ANNs, for instance, ANNs to predict river water levels [35], for parameter estimation, for example, in hydrology [36].

At 26, Frankland had attained a considerable degree of professional success and seemed outwardly secure. The need for total secrecy about his father s identity had left its mark, though. He was excruciatingly shy and was a poor speaker who later had to be dragged into accepting public office. Throughout his life, he sought social acceptance, financial security—and personal obscurity.
