Southward, Matthew W., and Jennifer S. Cheavens. "Identifying Core Deficits in a Dimensional Model of Borderline Personality Disorder Features: A Network Analysis." Clinical Psychological Science 6, no. 5 (May 18, 2018): 685–703. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/2167702618769560.
Researchers have proposed three core deficits of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): emotion dysregulation, interpersonal problems, and self-identity disturbance. Previous methods for testing these deficits rest on problematic assumptions (e.g., the assumption that observable/measured features of BPD, such as chaotic relationships and affective intensity, occur independently). A network model of psychopathology assumes that observable features of disorders directly interact, and network analytic methods quantify how central each feature is. We conducted a network analysis of core deficits of BPD features using a large ( N = 4,386) sample of participants with a range of BPD features. The most central features of participants in the High BPD group were loneliness, recklessness/impulsivity, and intense moods, supporting models of emotion dysregulation and interpersonal problems. The networks of BPD features did not differ between men and women. We provide directions for future research to enhance our understanding of how networks of BPD features change over time.

"Borderline Personality Disorder Features and Sensitivity to Injustice." Journal of Personality Disorders 32, no. 2 (April 2018): 192–206. http://dx.doi.org/10.1521/pedi_2017_31_292.
Hypersensitivity to injustice has been proposed to contribute to interpersonal dysfunction in borderline personality disorder (BPD). We investigated whether BPD features are related to sensitivity to injustice and whether justice sensitivity mediates the relationship between BPD features and aggressive behavior. In an online survey, subjects reported justice sensitivity from the perspective of a victim, an observer, a beneficiary, and a perpetrator as well as BPD features and their own aggressive behavior. Justice sensitivity was higher in participants with a clinically relevant degree of BPD features when they evaluated injustice from the perspective of a victim or an observer. Victim sensitivity partially mediated the relationship between BPD features and the frequency of aggressive behavior. The present study provides first data on the important role of sensitivity to injustice in those with marked BPD features. Particularly, victim sensitivity with its close link to angry reactions may contribute to interpersonal problems in BPD.

Journal of Personality Disorders 34, no. 2 (April 2020): 273–88. http://dx.doi.org/10.1521/pedi_2019_33_397.
Rejection hypersensitivity has been considered the core feature of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, little is known about the possible developmental mechanisms that might explain the association between rejection sensitivity and BPD features. The current study investigated the mediating roles of adult attachment, need to belong, and self-criticism in the association between rejection sensitivity and BPD features in 256 healthy adults. Results indicated that attachment anxiety, need to belong, and self-criticism mediated the association between rejection sensitivity and BPD features. However, attachment anxiety and self-criticism did not moderate the mediated association between rejection sensitivity and BPD features. The findings suggest that individuals with high rejection sensitivity are more likely to be anxiously attached to significant others, which might increase the desire to be accepted by others. To satisfy this elevated need to affiliate with others, these individuals might become more self-critical, which may contribute to high BPD features.

In this study we used the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) to explore facial emotion recognition in borderline personality disorder (BPD). We also used Cyberball, a computerized task designed to mimic social ostracism, to examine the response of BPD-feature participants to social exclusion. Seventeen individuals with BPD features were compared to 16 healthy controls on RMET performance pre- and post-exclusion via Cyberball. Our results revealed a significant interaction between BPD-feature status and RMET performance in relation to neutral stimuli following a social exclusion experience. BPD participants' ability to correctly identify neutral faces significantly decreased following exclusion. This finding suggests that once an individual with BPD features experiences a social exclusion event, his or her objectivity decreases and affective valence is ascribed to stimuli previously perceived as neutral. Our results may help to explain, in part, the social instability seen in BPD.

Journal of Personality Disorders 33, no. 1 (February 2019): 71–81. http://dx.doi.org/10.1521/pedi_2018_32_330.
Studies among adult patients have found that subthreshold borderline personality disorder (BPD) features are associated with elevated psychosocial morbidity compared with patients with no BPD features. However, the clinical significance of subthreshold features of BPD has not been investigated among real-world patients during the clinical emergence of the disorder, which is usually between puberty and emerging adulthood. This study aimed to replicate and extend previous research by comparing outpatient youth aged 15–25 years with subthreshold BPD features with youth with no BPD features. The sample included 499 potential participants, of whom 111 had no DSM-IV BPD features at all, and 155 had between one and four features. Results indicated that the group with subthreshold BPD features had more severe mental illness and poorer social and occupational functioning. These findings suggest that subthreshold BPD features are clinically important and should be a focus of clinical intervention to reduce continuing disability and improve outcome.

People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) tend to distrust others. We hypothesized that acetaminophen might reduce distrust in people with high BPD features because disordered affective responses are partially responsible for the interpersonal difficulties of people with BPD features, and acetaminophen has been shown in multiple studies to reduce negative affect. Using a double-blind, parallel-arm design, 284 young adult participants were administered either acetaminophen (1,000 mg; acute) or placebo and subsequently completed an economic trust game. BPD features were assessed with the Personality Assessment Inventory–Borderline Features scale. Participants with elevated BPD features showed less trust in their partners in the placebo condition but increased trust in the acetaminophen condition. Acetaminophen did not change expectations of trustee’s trustworthiness and did not impact trusting behavior in participants low in BPD features. Our results indicate that acetaminophen may reduce the behavioral distrust exhibited at high levels of BPD features.

AbstractObjectiveBorderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a highly prevalent diagnosis in mental health care and includes a heterogeneous constellation of symptoms. As the field of personality disorder (PD) research moves to emphasize dimensional traits in its operationalization, it is important to determine how the alternative DSM-5 Section III personality trait dimensions differentiates such features in BPD patients versus comparison groups. To date, no study has attempted such validation.MethodThe current study examined the utility of the DSM-5 trait dimensions in differentiating patients with the categorical DSM-IV/5 diagnosis of BPD (n = 101) from systematically matched samples of other PD patients (n = 101) and healthy controls (n = 101). This was investigated using one-way ANOVA and multinomial logistic regression analyses.ResultsResults indicated that Emotional Lability, Risk Taking, and Suspiciousness uniquely differentiated BPD patients from other PD patients, whereas Emotional Lability, Depressivity, and Suspiciousness uniquely differentiated BPD patients from healthy controls.ConclusionEmotional Lability is in particular a key BPD feature of the proposed Section III model, whereas Suspiciousness also augments essential BPD features. Provided that these findings are replicated cross-culturally in forthcoming research, a more parsimonious traits operationalization of BPD features is warranted.

"Dating Violence Victimization, Nonsuicidal Self-Injury, and the Moderating Effect of Borderline Personality Disorder Features in Adolescent Inpatients." Journal of Interpersonal Violence 35, no. 15-16 (May 11, 2017): 3124–47. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0886260517708402.
The aim of the study was to examine whether Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) features moderate the relation between dating violence victimization (DVV) experiences and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescent inpatients. A total of 184 adolescent inpatients completed measures on DVV, BPD features, and NSSI at admission to treatment. Bivariate analyses revealed significant relations between DVV, BPD features, and NSSI. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses demonstrated a moderating effect of BPD features such that in the low BPD features group, more severe DVV was associated with greater NSSI frequency; adolescents in the high BPD group endorsed elevated, though stable, levels of NSSI at all levels of DVV. BPD features differentially affect the relationship between DVV and NSSI. Low BPD adolescents exposed to high DVV appear to self-injure more frequently and at rates similar to high BPD adolescents when faced with more severe DVV, while DVV appears neither necessary nor sufficient to be the cause of NSSI in high BPD adolescents. Our results indicate that DVV may be a particularly important focal point for treating adolescents who self-injure and have been victimized by a dating partner. As such, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) may serve as valuable clinical interventions.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is associated with the use of maladaptive emotion regulation (ER) that predicts unstable interpersonal relationships and emotion dysregulation. Rumination, a maladaptive cognitive ER response, may be one mechanism by which those with BPD experience emotion dysregulation. However, it remains unclear whether emotion dysregulation is linked to rumination in general, or to rumination during interpersonal situations that often prove challenging for those with BPD. The present study examined whether interpersonal exclusion conferred an increased risk to spontaneously ruminate among those with elevated BPD features relative to an impersonal negative mood induction, and whether spontaneous rumination mediated the effects of BPD features on distress reactivity. Overall, BPD features predicted stronger tendencies to spontaneously ruminate and higher levels of distress following interpersonal exclusion; spontaneous rumination following interpersonal exclusion mediated the effects of BPD features on distress. These findings highlight the importance of context when examining ER outcomes.

Psychological Medicine 41, no. 4 (July 1, 2010): 849–60. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0033291710001297.
BackgroundTraumatic life events are generally more common in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) than in non-patients or patients with other personality disorders. This study investigates whether exposure to life events moderates the genetic architecture of BPD features. As the presence of genotype–environment correlation (rGE) can lead to spurious findings of genotype–environment interaction (G×E), we also test whether BPD features increase the likelihood of exposure to life events.MethodThe extent to which an individual is at risk to develop BPD was assessed with the Personality Assessment Inventory – Borderline features scale (PAI-BOR). Life events under study were a divorce/break-up, traffic accident, violent assault, sexual assault, robbery and job loss. Data were available for 5083 twins and 1285 non-twin siblings. Gene–environment interaction and correlation were assessed by using structural equation modelling (SEM) and the co-twin control design.ResultsThere was evidence for both gene–environment interaction and correlation. Additive genetic influences on BPD features interacted with the exposure to sexual assault, with genetic variance being lower in exposed individuals. In individuals who had experienced a divorce/break-up, violent assault, sexual assault or job loss, environmental variance for BPD features was higher, leading to a lower heritability of BPD features in exposed individuals. Gene–environment correlation was present for some life events. The genes that influence BPD features thus also increased the likelihood of being exposed to certain life events.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this study is the first to test the joint effect of genetic and environmental influences and the exposure to life events on BPD features in the general population. Our results indicate the importance of both genetic vulnerability and life events.

"Retrospective Reporting of Childhood Experiences and Borderline Personality Disorder Features in a Non-Clinical Sample: A Cognitive-Behavioural Perspective." RMIT University. Health Sciences, 2006. http://adt.lib.rmit.edu.au/adt/public/adt-VIT20080205.101748.
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationship between Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) symptoms and childhood experiences, and to explore the role of Early Maladaptive Schemas and core beliefs as variables possibly mediating this relationship. Previous research with clinical samples has established a strong link between childhood maltreatment and adult BPD (& other PD) symptoms in clinical samples. However, difficulties with these studies limit the specificity of results. For example, BPD has been shown to be highly comorbid with other axis I and axis II psychiatric conditions. Given that studies examining the relationship between BPD and childhood maltreatment generally fail to control for these comorbid conditions, the specificity of their results must be questioned. Furthermore, it has been well established that childhood familial environment is strongly related to childhood maltreatment. Again studies examining the relationship between BPD and childhood maltreatment have generally failed to concurrently assess childhood familial environments, hence opening the possibility that the relationship between BPD and childhood maltreatment may be due to family functioning rather than childhood maltreatment per se. Finally, studies linking childhood maltreatment with adult BPD have primarily utilized clinical samples. However, the primary use of clinical samples to examine the aetiology of disorders in this context ignores the vast literature showing adequate psychological functio ning for the majority of individuals exposed to childhood maltreatment. Hence, the primary aim of the current study was to examine the relationship between childhood maltreatment and adult BPD symptoms in a primarily non-clinical sample whilst statistically controlling for commonly comorbid axis I and axis II symptomatology and concurrently measuring childhood familial functioning. It was a secondary aim of the current study to examine the mediating effects of beliefs on the relationship between childhood factors (i.e., childhood maltreatment & childhood familial functioning) and adult BPD symptomatology. That is, cognitive-behavioural theorists argue that personality disorders may be triggered by adverse childhood experiences leading to maladaptive beliefs (or schemas) related to the self, others, and the world, and it is these beliefs which lead to the behavioural disturbances evident in personality disorders. One hundred and eighty-five primarily non-clinical participants completed questionnaires measuring a variety of axis I and axis II symptoms, early maladaptive schemas and core beliefs, as well as retrospective reports of family functioning and childhood maltreatment. Results showed a significant relationship between childhood factors and adult BPD symptomatology. For example, the largest correlation between BPD symptoms and a childhood factor was .27 (for childhood emotional abuse). Furthermore, early maladaptive schemas and core beliefs were found to mediate the relationship between childhood factors and adult BPD symptomatology thus supporting cognitive-behavioural theories of personality disorders. However, early maladaptive schemas and core beliefs were also found to mediate the relationship between childhood factors and other Axis I and Axis II symptoms. Hence, it was concluded that while there was some support for a cognitive mediation hypothesis for BPD symptoms, future research is needed in exploring the specificity of the cognitive mediation hypothesis for BPD.

The maximum number (Nmax) of fish was recorded using baited underwater camera (BUC) techniques to study spatio-temporal changes of the fish community in localize areas. In the central North Sea (~100m depth) abundance models revealed that for both, whiting and flatfish, the Nmax was influenced by light level at the time of deployment. Nmax of hagfish was strongly related to current speed in a non-linear way with a predicted upper threshold (~11 cm.s-1) above which Nmax declined. Current speed and inter-annual variation had an important effect on haddock Nmax. Large predators that prompt avoidance mechanisms (e.g. large conger eel, marine mammals and fishing vessels) and bottom current speed >25 cm.s-1 can modify demersal fish behaviour depending on size and species and therefore have important effects on BUC-derived data. The BUC was applied for the first time to the monitoring of the Buzzard platform, a new oil and gas development in the central North Sea that host 12 demersal and benthic fish species. The benthic taxa, flatfish and hagfish, showed higher numbers closer to the platform whilst the most mobile species showed constant numbers (haddock) or highest numbers outside of the 500m of Exclusion Area (whiting). No significant changes in fish diversity were found between the areas surveyed before the platform construction. After the construction, the species richness and diversity were higher outside the 500m Exclusion Area surrounding the platform. Offshore sand banks, like oil platforms, can modify the composition of the local fish abundance. BUC and commercial trawl observations on the Jones Bank (75-150m depth, Celtic Sea) recorded 23 species, the highest richness, on top of the bank and 18 species on the slope and off-bank areas. Conger eel and Nephrops were both absent from the top of the bank site whereas haddock was only observed in the bank area.

This paper presents a new object detection method. The method is based on keypoints analysis and their parameters. Computed parameters are used for building a decision model using machine learning methods. The model is able to detect object in the picture based on input data and compares its similarity to the chosen example. The new method is described in detail, its accuracy is evaluated and this accuracy is compared to other existing detectors. The new method’s detection ability is by more than 40% better than detection ability of detectors like SURF. In order to understand the object detection this paper describes the process step by step including popular algorithms designed for specific roles in each step.

Lindbäck, Katrin. "Hydrology and Bed Topography of the Greenland Ice Sheet : Last known surroundings." Doctoral thesis, Uppsala universitet, Luft-, vatten och landskapslära, 2015. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-259076.
The increased temperatures in the Arctic accelerate the loss of land based ice stored in glaciers. The Greenland Ice Sheet is the largest ice mass in the Northern Hemisphere and holds ~10% of all the freshwater on Earth, equivalent to ~7 metres of global sea level rise. A few decades ago, the mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet was poorly known and assumed to have little impact on global sea level rise. The development of regional climate models and remote sensing of the ice sheet during the past decade have revealed a significant mass loss. To monitor how the Greenland Ice Sheet will affect sea levels in the future requires understanding the physical processes that govern its mass balance and movement. In the southeastern and central western regions, mass loss is dominated by the dynamic behaviour of ice streams calving into the ocean. Changes in surface mass balance dominate mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet in the central northern, southwestern and northeastern regions. Little is known about what the hydrological system looks like beneath the ice sheet; how well the hydrological system is developed decides the water’s impact on ice movement. In this thesis, I have focused on radar sounding measurements to map the subglacial topography in detail for a land-terminating section of the western Greenland Ice Sheet. This knowledge is a critical prerequisite for any subglacial hydrological modelling. Using the high-resolution ice thickness and bed topography data, I have made the following specific studies: First, I have analysed the geological setting and glaciological history of the region by comparing proglacial and subglacial spectral roughness. Second, I have analysed the subglacial water drainage routing and revealed a potential for subglacial water piracy between adjacent subglacial water catchments with changes in the subglacial water pressure regime. Finally, I have looked in more detail into englacial features that are commonly observed in radar sounding data from western Greenland. In all, the thesis highlights the need not only for accurate high-resolution subglacial digital elevation models, but also for regionally optimised interpolation when conducting detailed hydrological studies of the Greenland Ice Sheet. De ökade temperaturerna i Arktis påskyndar förlusten av landbaserad is lagrad i glaciärer och permafrost. Grönlands inlandsis är den största ismassan på norra halvklotet och lagrar ca 10% av allt sötvatten på jorden, vilket motsvarar ca 7 meter global havsnivåhöjning. För ett par decennier sedan var inlandsisens massbalans dåligt känd och antogs ha liten inverkan på dagens havsnivåhöjning. Utvecklingen av regionala klimatmodeller och satellitbaserad fjärranalys av inlandsisen har under de senaste decenniet påvisat en betydande massförlust. För att förutse vilken inverkan inlandsisen har på framtida havsnivåhöjningar krävs en förståelse för de fysikaliska processerna som styr dess massbalans och isrörelse. I de sydöstra och centrala västra delarna av inlandsisen domineras massförlusten av dynamiska processer i isströmmar som kalvar ut i havet. Massförlusten i de centrala norra, sydvästra och nordöstra delarna domineras av isytans massbalans. Ytterst lite är känt om hur det hydrologiska systemet ser ut under inlandsisen; hur väl det hydrologiska systemet är utvecklat avgör vattnets påverkan på isrörelsen. I denna doktorsavhandling har jag använt markbaserade radarmätningar för att kartlägga den subglaciala topografin för en del av den västra landbaserade inlandsisen. Denna kunskap är en viktig förutsättning för att kunna modellera den subglaciala hydrologin. Med hjälp av rumsligt högupplöst data över istjockleken och bottentopografin har jag gjort följande specifika studier: Först har jag analyserat de geologiska och glaciologiska förhållandena i regionen genom att jämföra proglacial och subglacial spektralanalys av terrängens ytojämnheter. Sedan har jag analyserat den subglaciala vattenavrinningen och påvisat en potential för att avrinningsområdena kan ändras beroende på vattentryckförhållandena på botten. Slutligen har jag tittat mer i detalj på englaciala radarstrukturer som ofta observerats i radardata från västra Grönland. Sammanfattningsvis belyser avhandlingen behovet av inte bara noggranna rumsligt högupplösta subglaciala digitala höjdmodeller, utan även regionalt optimerad interpolering när detaljerade hydrologiska studier ska utföras på Grönlands inlandsis.

Over the last 70 years, Holocaust representations increased significantly as cultural objects distributed on a large scale: fictional books, museum sites, artworks, documentaries, and films are only a few samples of those echoes the Holocaust produced in contemporary Western culture. There are some specific patterns in the way the Holocaust has been represented that, however, contrast with the survivors’ account of the same event: for example, the dichotomy between bad and good characters so essential within Holocaust-based media – especially on television and film - does not really match with the testimony’s experience. While storytelling strategies may help to involve the public by emotionally engaging with the story, the risks of altering the real meaning of the Holocaust are quite high: what we often label as a “story” is actually been an outrageous, documented mass-genocide. Furthermore, as the age gap between the present and the past generation progresses, also the collective awareness of Nazi crimes as a real fact gets compromised. This volume explores selected Holocaust narrations by contextualizing the historical, literary, and social influences those texts had in their unique points of view. Starting with some recent examples of Holocaust exploitation through social media, the first chapter explores the paradigm shift when the Holocaust became a cultural, fictional trend rather than a historical massacre. In the second chapter, the analysis examines postmodern representations of Holocaust and Nazi semantics through relevant examples taken from both American and European literature. The third chapter analyses Europe Central by William T. Vollman, as all the narratological and cultural issues considered in the previous two chapters are well outlined in this articulated novel, where the relationship between reality and its representation after the postmodernist period is largely investigated. In chapter four, an account is given of the connections and differences between the narratological category romance, as understood by Northrop Frye, and Holocaust narration features. In chapter five, those elements are used to consider the work of Italian Holocaust survivor and Jewish writer Primo Levi, as his narration around Auschwitz adopts some fictional tools and still refuses undemanding storytelling mechanisms. The sixth and final chapter examines the relevant novel Les Benviellants by Jonathan Littell, considering its Nazi genocide account through the antagonist’s perspective.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and mood disorder (MD) can be difficult to differentiate from each other due to several overlapping clinical features. Among BPD symptoms, chronic dysphoria can be mistaken for major depression, while affective instability may be confused with the depressed and elevated mood episodes of bipolar disorder (BD). Conversely, in those with BPD, co-occurring MDs can be difficult to rigorously assess and treat. Even though there is moderate to high co-occurrence between these conditions, BPD and MDs have distinct facets of impulsivity, affective instability, and mood symptoms. Furthermore, BPD, MD, and their co-occurrence predict courses of illness, prognosis, treatment outcomes, and suicide risk. Consequently, thorough assessment and differential diagnosis of these conditions should inform treatment planning and clinical management in both BPD and MD.

This chapter presents what is currently known about the comorbidity of substance use disorders (SUDs) and borderline personality disorder (BPD), outlines the ways in which substance use and SUDs have a unique clinical presentation within the context of BPD, and describes how the distinct features of SUDs in BPD inform conceptualization and the treatment approach. The high comorbidity of SUD in individuals diagnosed with BPD adds to the complexity of clinical presentation, symptom severity, and obstacles to treatment engagement and effectiveness. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), when modified for individuals with BPD, can be effective. This chapter reviews the increased risks, challenges, and obstacles to treatment presented by SUD-BPD comorbidity and describes efforts to adapt DBT to this population that have resulted in new interventions for treatment engagement, behavioral goal setting, and expansion of the standard frame of conducting psychotherapy that more directly target the specific challenges of treating SUD-BPD.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is still seen in many settings as a chronic disorder. This book details the ways that it is symptomatically a “good prognosis” diagnosis. This is particularly seen in the high rate of remissions of BPD and its constituent symptoms. The rate of suicide is also good news, as it is half the expected rate from four follow-back studies conducted in the 1980s. Areas with a more guarded prognosis, particularly for those who have not recovered, are poor physical health and poor vocational adjustment. In addition, rates of other deaths are increasing and have surpassed the rate of deaths by suicide.

Interpersonal problems are among the most severely impairing, difficult-to-manage, and intransigent of borderline personality disorder (BPD) features and therefore require special attention in treatment. Emotion dysregulation and related mood-dependent behaviors among individuals with BPD typically occur in the context of interpersonally relevant events or stressors, signifying the central role of interpersonal and attachment-related concerns for these patients. Two prominent interpersonal themes in those with BPD are discussed: interpersonal hypersensitivity and angry or aggressive behavior. The chapter provides a brief case illustration of how these themes might emerge in psychotherapy and recommends explicit assessment of interpersonal problems and aggression to enhance risk evaluation, case formulation, treatment planning, and monitoring progress in treatment.

Bipolar disorder (BPD) is a severe mood disorder that often has psychotic features. Its most severe forms are more common and significantly more likely to cause disability than originally thought. Studies of high-risk children have found them to be at increased risk for a variety of symptoms and neurobiological abnormalities. In contrast to schizophrenia, there is no formal prodromal syndrome that has been identified, and cognitive abnormalities do not precede the onset of the disorder. Abnormal sleep and circadian rhythms are prominent and have led to intriguing biological models. Neurobiological experiments have primarily focused on candidate pathways and include circadian abnormalities, epigenetic processes including histone modification, WNT/GSK3 signaling, other modulators of neuroplasticity, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent data suggest that BPD is a highly polygenic disease and that integration of prior modeling and data with the wide variety of new genetic risk loci will be productive in the future.

This chapter describes the clinical features of BDD and provides tools for effective assessment and diagnosis; in addition, it reviews treatments for BDD, with focus on medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a common and disabling disorder characterized by a preoccupation with an imagined or slight defect in appearance. Its symptomatology and treatment resemble those of OCD in some respects and it is classified in DSM-5 as an OCD-related disorder, but BDD is distinct in a number of key ways. It can lead to significant psychosocial dysfunction, poor quality of life, and suicidality. Although much is known about its clinical presentation and demographic characteristics, large gaps in treatment knowledge remain. Hopefully, research will provide answers to guide more effective treatment of this disabling illness.

Edited by Katharine A. Phillips. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780190254131.003.0006.
This chapter reviews core clinical features of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and presents two cases. Individuals with BDD are preoccupied with perceived flaws in their appearance that they view as ugly or abnormal (but that other people view as slight or nonexistent), to the point of experiencing significant distress or impairment in psychosocial functioning. The preoccupation with perceived ugliness triggers a cascade of negative emotions and behavioral responses that are intended to alleviate the appearance concerns but often do not. These responses include repetitive behaviors to check, fix, obtain reassurance about, or hide disliked body areas as well as avoidance of social situations. BDD is associated with high levels of emotional distress and a range of painful emotions, such as depression, anxiety, social anxiety, and shame. Core beliefs often focus on feeling unlovable, inadequate, or worthless. Associated features include high rejection sensitivity and perceived stress and low assertiveness.

Bubbling fluidized bed combustion (BFB) is well applicable to biomass and other alternate fuels. Typical features for these fuels are high volatile content, varying moisture content and, in some cases, a somewhat high alkali and chlorine content. Fortum Engineering has supplied several boiler and power plants based on its in-house BFB boiler technology. The boilers show good performance with high availability and long operating time.

The Provence 250 MWe CFB boiler was originally designed in 1992 for a local coal (Provence lignite) with a high sulfur and high ash content. This large CFB, features a pant leg bottom furnace, 4 cyclones and 4 fluid bed heat exchangers to provide the active temperature control of the furnace and reheated steam final temperature. After start up in 1995 with this local coal, several other fuel types were burnt. Mainly 3 fuels were tested over the last 5 years, on a long term basis, with various degrees of combination with the Gardanne coal up to full firing alone: • a lean coal (Gard, France), low volatile bituminous type, not far from semi anthracite type coals, • an imported coal, representative of low ash low sulfur content imported coal, • a petroleum coke, with a high sulfur content. This last test demonstrates the widest flexibility with regards to fuel reactivity range of a CFB plant with this architecture. The fuel, limestone and ash handling/injection systems were able to cope with this fuel diversity without equipment modifications. Since these tests were conclusive both on the pollutant emissions and on the operating concern, a permit to burn petroleum coke in commercial operation in a 250 MWe CFB boiler has been obtained in December 2001. This paper presents the main features and the results of the petroleum coke tests performed and compare them with the feedback on operating conditions of the boiler and emissions performances for Provence lignite and imported coal. These positive results demonstrate the wide fuel capability of large CFB boilers with this boiler architecture. First, they emphasize the critical role of advanced cyclones to accept fuels with very different reactivities and minimize limestone consumption. Second, these results show the role of the Fluid Bed Heat Exchangers system to control actively the furnace temperature, while controlling the reheated steam temperature without using spray.

A numerical investigation of shallow wake flow in an open channel has been conducted using Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) based on the three-dimensional unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations with the k-ω SST (shear stress transport) turbulence model. The features of shallow wake flows are strongly dependent on the bed characteristics. Using the λ2 criterion, the important features are identified and the role of coherent structures in the near-bed region is highlighted. Furthermore, a unique feature in the time-averaged flow field referred to as the owl face of the first kind, which consists of a well-defined pair of foci and saddle points, is observed. A three-dimensional structure resulting from a secondary roll-up process, which is horizontally oriented, is observed immediately downstream of the base of the bluff body. Other vortical structures, i.e., a horseshoe vortex and a collar vortex, are found to occur around and next to the bluff body, respectively, in the toe region.

Gasifiers are viable alternative for producing heat and power with minimal adverse impact on the environment. The gasification technology is now considered to be in an advanced stage of development. Hence there is huge expectation from the user industry for its application. For a country like India with its vast agricultural residues, there is a huge requirement for an efficient power generation system. In this regard careful studies are required to select an appropriate gasification technology to suit the available fuels. In this paper different types of gasifiers namely updraft, downdraft, bubbling fluidized bed and entrained bed are compared and their suitability for various applications are evaluated. The technological developments achieved so far and requirements of further developments are also analyzed. A systematic comparison of the performance of various gasifiers is carried out and their unique features are discussed. From the comparative study, specificity of gasifier design is brought out highlighting their merits and possible application potential. The study also brought-out the fact that a universal design concept cannot be achieved to meet the requirements of all possible applications for gasification process.

East Kentucky Power Cooperative’s (EKPC) E. A. Gilbert unit promises to be one of the cleanest coal fired units in the US. Employing Circulating Fluid Bed (CFB) technology and innovative gas cleaning equipment from ALSTOM, this 268 MW unit will fire a variety of coals. The E. A. Gilbert unit is located at EKPC’s Spurlock Station alongside a 300 MW and a 500 MW pulverized coal unit that were built more than 20 years ago. Low SO2 emissions will be achieved by sulfation of limestone sorbent in the CFB and by additional sulfation of unreacted sorbent in the Flash Dryer AbsorberTM (FDA) system located downstream of the CFB. This will permit low SO2 emissions (0.2 lb/MM BTU, >95% removal). Very low NOx emissions (0.1 lb/MM BTU) are enabled by the low combustion temperatures of the CFB and by the use of selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR). The latter employs the addition of anhydrous ammonia and extended residence times at low temperature to further reduce NOx within the boiler. Having broken ground in June of 2002, the unit is scheduled to begin firing coal in the winter of 2004–5, with commercial operation scheduled for spring, 2005. Its’ design features and status are the focus of this paper.
