Depending on the specific definitions used, prevalence estimates vary greatly between very low 0.3% (for illicit substances) to astonishingly high 89% (for freely available lifestyle substances). These variations indicate that further research and more conceptual and theoretical clarification of the NE construct is dearly needed. The contributions of this research topic aim to do just that. Specific questions addressed are: How prevalent is NE behavior? How can NE research profit from the already more evolved field of social science research on doping in sports? How is NE perceived by the public? What psychological processes and variables play a role in the decision to neuroenhance? A wide array of methodological approaches is used to investigate these questions. The topics contributions range from theoretical to experimental accounts on NE, and they utilize a diverse set of methods ranging from qualitative to neuroscientific approaches. The research presented here represents a first step towards what we have labeled a psychological approach to NE. By addressing the questions above this research topic hopefully advances our understanding of NE behavior. As with every new field of research, new answers always prompt new questions. In light of what we know now about NE, we hope that the findings presented here will be pursued by other researchers in the future. Clearly, the endeavor to understand NE behavior has only just begun.Using Substances to Enhance PerformancePsychologybicsscBehaviorcognitive enhancementDopingneuroenhancementperformance enhancementPsychology612.8Brand RalfWolff WanjaBOOK9910220040603321Using substances to enhance performance3398721UNINA04927nam 22005535 450 991029861900332120251116135553.03-319-17915-210.1007/978-3-319-17915-5(CKB)3710000000463535(EBL)3568296(SSID)ssj0001546496(PQKBManifestationID)16141256(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001546496(PQKBWorkID)14796093(PQKB)10612217(DE-He213)978-3-319-17915-5(MiAaPQ)EBC3568296(PPN)188456708(EXLCZ)99371000000046353520150813d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAdvances in Bioprocess Technology /edited by Pogaku Ravindra1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (529 p.)Description based upon print version of record.3-319-17914-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.A Review on the Empty Fruit Bunch Composting: Life Cycle Analysis and the Effect of Amendment(s).- Effect of Adaptation of Acidothiobacillus Ferrooxidans on Ferrous Oxidation and Nickel Leaching Efficiency -- A Review on Ash Formation During Pulverized Fuel Combustion: State of Art and Future Research Needs -- Waste Management Methods and Sustainability -- Modeling of Free Fatty Acid Content in the Deodorization Process of Palm Oil Refinery Using Six Sigma with Response Surface Methodology -- Biomass and Bioenergy Technology -- Process Analysis of Microalgae Biomass Thermal Disruption for Biofuel Production -- Biogas from Poultry Litter: A Review on Recent Technological Advancements -- Current Advances of Biogas via Anaerobic Digestion of Industrial Wastewater -- Bioenergy: Biofuels Process Technology -- Optimization Study of Catalytic Co-gasification of Rubber Seed Shell and High Density Polyethylene Waste for Hydrogen Production Using Response Surface Methodology -- Studies on Effect of Process Parameters Variation on Bio-Oil Yield in Subcritical and Supercritical Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Malaysian Oil Palm Biomass.- Agro-residues as Fuel and as a Feedstock for Other Products -- Biogas as Clean Fuel for Cooking and Transportation Needs in India -- Thermochemical Processing of Biomass -- Dynamic Enzymatic Kinetic Resolution of NSAIDS -- Catgut Waste Utilization for Protease Production Using Bacillus Subtilis -- Membrane  Processes for Microalgae in Carbonation and Wastewater Treatment -- A Systems View of Lignocellulose Hydrolysis -- Innovations in Alcoholic Beverage Production -- Starter Culture Technology – Fermented Foods -- Ca-Alginate Liquid Core Capsule for Lactobacili Fermentation -- Intellectual Property Rights-Protection and Regulation.This book provides an extensive overview of the latest research in environmentally benign integrated bioprocess technology.
