Process group psychotherapy has been a clinical focus since graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin, where his doctoral research examined the mechanisms of change within the process group experience.

Not exact matches

In the higher organisms, including man, a complex set of neural and humoral regulatory mechanisms preserve the stability of the metabolic processes within very narrow limits, despite substantial changes in the external environment.

In the current context of global warming it is important to assess the impacts that changes in ocean and climate may have on Antarctica, and reconstructing past climate fluctuations provides vital information on the responses and possible feedback mechanisms within the climate system.

«Our study revealed that one of these mechanisms involves metabolic stress - induced structural changes within liver cells that compromise their function.»

How broadly this mode of evolutionary change is exploited in nature remains to be seen, but if the prevalence of repetitive elements within genes is any indicator, then mammals, insects, plants, and other genomes throughout the natural world may use this mechanism to achieve evolutionary agility.

In addition, the DHA and EPA found in fish oil have a powerful ability to enhance the metabolism and increase fat burning by positively altering the gene functioning through various mechanisms which include changing the makeup of cell membranes, altering the transcription of genes and influencing the levels of calcium within the cells.

More importantly, evidence suggests that protein - induced changes in renal function are likely a normal adaptative mechanism well within the functional limits of a healthy kidney.

Most people worth their salt, (pun intended), know that the 6th Epoch, the Anthropocene, has indeed been ushered in by mankind.Climate changes that before occurred in scales of hundreds of thousands of years are now taking place within decades.The sheer evidence of many, many, unstoppable feedback mechanisms is enormous.

No changes are planned for PV, experts point out, because existing policy mechanisms contain a volume - responsive degression model designed to keep annual PV installations within a target «corridor» of 2.5 GW to 3.5 GW.

Bart Verheggen says: August 14, 2011 at 3:03 am So how do past climate changes (from snowball earth to the hothouse Cretaceous) fit in your paradigm that «that the temperature of the Earth is kept within a fairly narrow range through the action of a variety of natural homeostatic mechanisms.»?

What this counter intuitive result does illustrate is that there are a huge number of very complex feedback mechanisms within the climatic system, and the results of any change may not be what you would expect.

The available data over the past century can be interpreted within the framework of a variety of hypotheses as to cause and mechanisms for the measured changes.

Within the adaptation component, an International Mechanism on Loss and Damage associated with climate change impacts in developing countries vulnerable to the effects of climate change is being negotiated as well.

At best, changes of such magnitude would trigger dramatic re-organization of ecosystems across the globe that would play out over the next few centuries; at worst, extinction rates would elevate considerably for the many species adapted to pre-global warming conditions, via mechanisms described above (inability to disperse or evolve fast enough to keep pace with the extremely rapid rate of climate change, and disruption of ecological interactions within communities as species respond individualistically).

Based on these results, we conclude that (1) the sensitivity changes of the PMO6V radiometers within VIRGO during the first two years have very likely not been correctly evaluated; and that (2) the TSI variations over cycle 23 and the change in the TSI levels between the minima in 1996 and 2008 are consistent with the solar surface magnetism mechanism.

Earlier planned litigation strategies (such as campaigns for school desegregation and for the abolition of capital punishment) took place primarily within the court system, employing legal argumentation as the mechanism for social change.

In group sessions the therapist uses the group process as a mechanism of change by developing, exploring and examining interpersonal relationships within the group.

Several candidate mechanisms of CRCI have been proposed, including inflammation and cytokine dysregulation, chemotherapy - induced epigenetic changes, blood — brain barrier disruption, hormone deficiencies, oxidative DNA damage and shortened telomere length, and genetic susceptibility.21 — 26 However, the heterogeneity and design limitations within the emerging body of evidence have led to recommendations for harmonising study methodologies and moving towards multisite, longitudinal research.3 27 Such approaches would support the demonstration of robust relationships between measurable biological processes and cognitive outcomes.

Advances in neuroscience have revealed that the process of brain development is driven by a dynamic interaction between the genome (nature) and the environment (nurture).25 Epigenetic mechanisms like DNA methylation and histone acetylation are able to transduce experiences with the environment into long - lasting, even intergenerational changes in gene expression.26 — 35 So although the inherited genetic program is thought to provide a general blueprint for brain architecture, the environment is able to influence which genes are used, when they are used during the course of development, and where they are used within the developing brain.

Although various PT models have been successful in targeting these parenting factors (Beauchaine et al. 2005; Eddy and Chamberlain 2000), our study contributes to the literature by showing that these important parenting mechanisms can be changed within a short period of time.

An alternative approach would be to model the variance shared by a set of proximal targets as a latent variable, and employ the latent variable to estimate both baseline target levels and subsequent change in the targeted mechanism within a BTMM design.
