Two-Dimensional Object Characterization With an Effective Model
The problem of a two-dimensional object location and characterization is considered and solved via the concept of an effective model. The nonlinearized 2D inverse problem is solved employing an effective model of a homogeneous circular cylinder. Promising numerical results are obtained for the spatial location, and determination of size and effective constitution of the objects of different topology using poor a priori information and limited measurement data.
This chapter discusses results from this study of the Know Your Self curriculum and explores their implications for prevention-oriented mental health programs. First, it reviews student learning outcomes: culturally-inclusive community, reductions in harmful behaviors, and growth in the five dimensions of person-centered psychospiritual maturation. Then it examines structural components and learning modules of the curriculum. Third, it discusses implications of these results for prevention programs, including a bio-cultural evolutionary perspective on person-centered psychospiritual maturation as an emergent and teachable human phenomenon. Finally, it discusses the curriculum as a conceptually-integrative reformulation of humanistic psychology, acknowledging Carl Rogers’ pioneering contributions.
