    New Frontiers in the Treatment of Perfectionism

    Perfectionism can present as a clinical problem in its own right or it can interfere with the successful treatment of Axis I disorders. In the past 15 years, a cognitive behavioral analysis of “clinical perfectionism” has been proposed. This approach and the measurement of the construct of clinical perfectionism have proved controversial. Nevertheless, the approach has experimental support and clinical utility; the derived treatment has been shown to lead to significant improvement on both measures of perfectionism and Axis I disorders. The cognitive behavioral intervention for perfectionism has been evaluated in a range of formats (group, individual, face-to-face, and online) and all show promise. Further work is required to address clinically important questions such as when to treat clinical perfectionism if it occurs in the context of single and multiple Axis I disorders

    My first meeting with Dadaji, as Professor DS Kothari was dearly known to us, began with a question. I was engaged to his grandson (Ranjan) and after the engagement ceremony we went to him to get his blessings. Dadaji asked me: "Whowas Shri Rama's father?" I was taken aback at the question but when I replied that it was Dashrath, he was very happy and blessed us both. I soon learnt that he had this habit of asking simple questions to people to evoke interest in our ancient culture and heritage, especially the Bhagvad Gita

    Various analytical models for supercapacitors: a mathematical study

    Get PDF
    Supercapacitors (SCs) are used extensively in high-power potential energy applications like renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, power electronics, and many other industrial applications. This is due to SCs containing high-power density and the ability to respond spontaneously with fast charging and discharging demands. Advancements in material and fabrication techniques have induced a scope for research to improve the application of SCs. Many researchers have studied various SC properties and their effects on energy storage and management performance. In this paper, various fractional calculus-based SC models are summarized, with emphasis on analytical studies from derived classical SC models. Study prevails such parameterized resistor- capacitor networks have simplified the representation of electrical behavior of SCs to deal with the complicated internal structure. Fractional calculus has been used to develop SC models with the aim of understanding their complicated structure. Finally, the properties of different SC models utilized by various researchers to understand the behavior of SCs are listed using an equivalent circuit
