THE HIJACKED SELF: DISRUPTED FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE PERIAQUEDUCTAL GRAY AND THE DEFAULT MODE NETWORK IN POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER USING DYNAMIC CAUSAL MODELING

The hijacked self: Disrupted functional connectivity between the periaqueductal gray and the default mode network in posttraumatic stress disorder using dynamic causal modeling

Self-related processes define assorted self-relevant or social-cognitive functions that allow us to gather insight and to draw inferences related to our own mental conditions.Self-related processes are mediated by the default mode network (DMN), which, critically, shows altered functionality in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Absorbed power density approach for optimal design of heaving point absorber wave energy converter: A case study of Durban sea characteristics

This work proposes an approach for the optimal sizing of a cylindrical heaving wave energy converter (WEC).The approach is based on maximising the absorbed power density (APD) of the buoy, with the diameter being the decision variable.Furthermore, two types of buoy shapes were compared to get the best option.The two buoy shapes are the cone cylinde
