Many transmutations take the form of rewriting the triggering situation as a violation of some impartial standard of fairness, justice, or entitlement. Often, these are also cases of transmutation of passion into passion, mediated by reason. Consider first the case of envy. In III.3,1 discussed an example from Tocqueville that shows how people get rid of their feelings of inferiority by explaining the success of others in terms of dishonest behavior. A very similar analysis occurs in Netanyahu s analysis of the persecution of the Jewish conversos by the Spanish Inquisition. 

Emotions can be studied as effects or as causes - as explananda or as explanantia. First, we can try to explain the emotions themselves, by identifying the conditions under which they tend to arise. The link between the triggering situation and the emotion has been viewed as largely conceptual, as causal and deterministic, or as causal but partly indeterminate. To illustrate the last approach, which is the one I ve been taking here When the suspicion that one s lover is unfaithful is transformed into certainty, the effect may either be to exacerbate the jealousy or to kill it Second, we can appeal to emotions in order to explain other phenomena. These include other mental states - beliefs and other emotions - as well as behaviors that are triggered either directly by the emotions or indirectly, through these other mental states. 

A panic attack is defined in the DSM-IV-TR (APA 2000 393) as a discrete period in which there is a sudden onset of intense apprehension, fearfulness or terror, often associated with feelings of impending doom . Three sub-types of panic attack are described. These are situationally bound, situationally pre-disposed and unexpected or uncued panic attacks. Situationally bound panic attacks occur immediately on exposure to, or in anticipation of, a specific situation. Situationally pre-disposed panic attacks are slightly different, in that while they are associated with a particular situation, they do not necessarily occur immediately on exposure to, or anticipation of, that situation. However, they are more likely to happen in that situation than others. Unexpected or uncued panic attacks occur in the absence of any obvious situational triggers. In the context of the work situation, the first two types are more commonly encountered and they are linked to specific triggering situations or tasks in the workplace. However, the formulation and treatment for each sub-type is similar and is described below. 

Expert systems. In situations where the statistical classifiers cannot be used, because of the complexity or inhomogeneity of the data, rule-based expert systems can sometimes be a solution. The complex images can be more readily described by rules than represented as simple feature vectors. Rules can be devised which cope with inhomogeneous data by, for example, triggering some specialised data-processing algorithms.

Internal error mechanisms can be regarded as intrinsic human error tendencies. The particular error mechanisms that will be triggered depend on the performance-influencing factors (PIFs) in the situation (see Chapter 3). However, use of Figure 2.16 allows certain preliminary conclusions to be drawn. 

In the previous chapter, a comprehensive description was provided, from four complementary perspectives, of the process of how human errors arise during the tasks typically carried out in the chemical process industry (CPI). In other words, the primary concern was with the process of error causation. In this chapter the emphasis will be on the why of error causation. In terms of the system-induced error model presented in Chapter 1, errors can be seen as arising from the conjunction of an error inducing environment, the intrinsic error tendencies of the human and some initiating event which triggers the error sequence from this imstable situation (see Figure 1.5, Chapter 1). This error sequence may then go on to lead to an accident if no barrier or recovery process intervenes. Chapter 2 describes in detail the characteristics of the basic human error tendencies. Chapter 3 describes factors which combine with these tendencies to create the error-likely situation. These factors are called performance-influencing factors or PIFs. 

Individuals experiencing dmg withdrawal can become conditioned to environmental situations. Previously neutral stimuli can elicit many of the symptoms of dmg withdrawal, and this conditioned withdrawal has motivational significance especially in alcohol and opiate addiction. Thus conditioned withdrawal may trigger craving and relapse in a particular situation. 

In rare cases of a systemic release, kinins have the potential to cause severe hypotension. Uncontrolled activation of the contact system (Fig. 3) is thought to trigger a massive formation of kinins under certain pathological conditions [3]. For instance, this situation is seen in patients with underlying diseases such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) due to sepsis or trauma. SIRS progression is accompanied by depletion of contact system factors and low levels of H-kininogen and plasma kallikrein are indicative of a... 

There is nothing in Equations 1-8 which is an all-or-none situation. There are no positive feedback loops which might cause some kind of flip-flop of states of operation of the system. There are some possibilities for saturation phenomena but all relationships are graded. Overall, transient or steady-state, the changes of concentration of P-myosin are continuous, monotonic functions of the intracellular Ca ion concentration. On this basis it is more appropriate to say that smooth muscle contraction is modulated rather than triggered by Ca ion. 

These results were interpreted using the electron pool hypothesis There is an electron pool situated in the linear photosynthetic electron transport chain between photosystems II and I (Fig. 9). A phobic response is triggered by a decrease in the flow rate through the pool. This can be accomplished in two ways ...
