Tolerance learned

The TINKER documentation provides a description of the input, but not a tutorial. Documentation is available as html. Acrobat, or postscript. A set of example input files is provided. The researcher can expect to invest some time in learning to use this system of programs. Most of the executables seem to be fairly robust and as tolerant as possible of variations in the input format. When... 

AVP is excitatory in the ventral hippocampus, either directly or by potentiation of glutamatergic responses. An inhibitory effect has been observed in AVP may be involved in the formation of long-term potentiation and thus learning and memory. However, AVP is proconvulsive, may augment the formation of dmg tolerance and dependence, and affects cardiovascular regulatory processes. 

The main role of pilot plant is in the scale-up of polymer formulations from laboratory to full scale production and the development of new processes and techniques, including trials of new equipment. The laboratory is normally where the chemistry of new products and processes is investigated and established. When scale-up is contemplated, the use of commercial quality materials will normally be investigated, test procedures established and certain processing tolerances examined. An experienced chemist can frequently learn much on the laboratory scale that will indicate likely scale-up behaviour, but it is always prudent to then go through the pilot stage before embarking on full scale production. 

Recovery time from this operation can last anywhere from six to eight weeks. As soon as the patient can begin to eat solid food, he or she must learn how to eat again. The stomach has essentially become a small pouch and cannot hold the same amount of food that it used to (Figure 8.2). Patients must eat a healthier diet after this surgery they are much less able to tolerate a diet high in fat. Overall,... 

Chronic opiate treatment results in complex adaptations in opioid receptor signaling. Much has been learned from studies on mechanisms of tolerance to the analgesic effects of opiates. This is a major clinical problem, as it means that ever-escalating doses are required for the treatment of chronic pain. The classic view was that tolerance reflects a decrease in functional opioid receptors via desensitization and internalization. Desensitization occurs when receptors are uncoupled from G proteins as a result of phosphorylation by G-protein-coupled receptor... 

A person may have particular issues with one or more emotions that need to be addressed. For example, does the person lose his or her temper too easily even today What can he or she do to change this particular problem Can the person find ways to reduce the triggers that may lead to losing his or her temper, such as lowering the expectations threshold so he or she does not easily become frustrated, learning how to become more patient and tolerant with other people, finding ways to reduce cynicism, or learning to see the whole picture rather than the present moment ... 

In this interview Katy shares her view that chemical exposures can lead to an inability to tolerate stress, to loss of mental functioning, to fear and to violence. Since I met with her, two studies have been published that validate her remarks. One, a University of Wis-consin-Madison study published in the journal Toxicology and Industrial Health, January-March 1999, found that the pesticide-fertilizer mixtures commonly found in groundwater can affect patterns of aggression and the ability to learn, and causes hormone disruptions that increase sensitivity to stimuli, irritability and immune dysfunction. A University of Arizona study published by Environmental Health Perspectives in June 1998 showed a decrease in mental ability and an increase in aggressive behavior among children exposed to pesticides. 

Furthermore, AI methods show a tolerance of user uncertainty or lack of data, and they are often capable of providing results of value even when not used in an optimum fashion. They can also tackle some types of problem with which conventional methods struggle. Consequently, many scientists are now coming to the view that it is worth investing time and effort to learn about AI. 

This difficult teaching should not be taken as license to experience or tolerate evil, as some modern sorcerers have advocated. The vocation of the initiate is to resist evil in all its manifestations, within and without. The purpose of this teaching is to promote in us compassion for all human conditions, whereby we learn to hate the sin, but love the sinner. ... 

Failing to meet objectives, a form of failnre, shonld not be tolerated easily in the core bnsiness because it suggests ignorance of facts that could be known if the relevant leader were snfficiently diligent. In a new business, on the other hand, failing to meet objectives is almost inevitable, and thns is not a good indicator of performance. What matters instead is whether resources are conserved, learning is... 

In high-uncertainty projects, am I known to tolerate failures provided that their cost to the organization is low and they have high learning potential ...
