Harman Oren: Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis

A Natural and Human History

Aortic Valve Repair provides a comprehensive summary on techniques developed during the first 500 cases of aortic ring annuloplasty. Aortic valve disease is usually surgically managed by aortic valve replacement, and it is well established in published literature regarding the long-term results, survival rate, durability of the protheses and reoperations rates. Over the past two decades, aortic valve repair (AVr) has evolved into a recognized surgical option for selected patients with aortic insufficiency or proximal aorta aneurysm. Studying the first 500 cases of aortic ring annuloplasty, the authors provide the most effective methods of leaflet and aortic root reconstruction to repair pathologies. Including original illustrations and videos, the book serves as an essential reference for cardiac surgeons in practice.

Routledge Studies in Evangelicalism

This book is the first major study of the constellation of evangelists, mission halls, tent revivals, children's clubs, Bible institutes, musicians, advertising strategies, publishing enterprises, and philanthropic activity that constituted a vibrant substratum of British Evangelical Christianity between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. This populist Protestant subculture has been well-charted in North America but virtually ignored in Britain. This lacuna is part due to a common assumption that secularization? corroded traditional religious communities during this era. By contrast, this book argues that this panoply of pan-denominational affinities and endeavours in fact represented an adaptation of the British Evangelical Protestant tradition to the age of mass democracy. In exploring the beliefs, worship and spirituality, gender roles, mission networks, revival events, material culture, and social protocols and taboos of popular Evangelicalism, the book presents a religious movement well-attuned to an age of popular politics, metropolitan culture, demotic advertising, and mass entertainment.

Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies

This volume explores the effect of Darwinian theory on visual culture through analysis of popular graphics, scientific illustration, natural history diorama, as well as the more traditional art historical material such as painting and sculpture. It extends the discussion to examine the lasting impact the theory of evolution has had on the development of art history as an academic discipline.

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution bore a decisive influence on aesthetic thought that was nothing if not diverse. From biological models to European paintings, Darwinian theory offered art historians and artists a rich, evocative lens through which to view the world anew. This volume explores the effect of Darwinian theory on visual culture through analysis of popular graphics, scientific illustration, natural history diorama, as well as the more traditional art historical material such as painting and sculpture. It extends the discussion to examine the lasting impact the theory of evolution has had on the development of art history as an academic discipline.

Evolutionary Theory and Visual Culture

This edited book highlights the experimental approach, using Viruses, Bacteria, lower Eukaryotes and digital organisms. The contributors illustrate approaches revolutionizing our understanding of adaptation, recombination and mutation rates, speciation and the evolutionary transitions from prokaryotic to eukaryotic and from unicellular to multicellular life forms.

This book highlights the efficacy of molecular data in inferring phylogeny. References throughout the book illuminate the taxonomic terminology and literature. The book includes a range of topics beginning from gene to phylogenomics and provides an up-to-date information about plant molecular systematics.

Routledge Studies in Environmental Communication and Media

Environmental Communication and the Media provides readers with a framework for understanding the process of creating and interpreting media messages about environmental topics. The book includes both practical and theoretical information about persuasion, diffusion, audience analysis and adaptation, intercultural and international communication, and media effects.

The body in dreams, myths, legends, and anecdotes of the fantastic as expressions of human corporeality. In The Body Fantastic, Frank Gonzalez-Crussi looks at the human body through the lens of dreams, myths, legends, and anecdotes of the bizarre, exploring the close connection of the fictitious and the fabulous to our conception of the body. He chronicles, among other curious cases, the man who ate everything (including boiled hedgehogs and mice on toast), the therapeutic powers of saliva, hair that burst into flames, and an "amphibian man" who lived under water. Drawing on clinical records, popular lore, and art, history, and literature, Gonzalez-Crussi considers the body in both real and imaginary dimensions. Myths and stories, Gonzalez-Crussi reminds us, are the symbolic expression of our aspirations and emotions. These fantastic tales of bodies come from the deepest regions of the human psyche. Ancient Greeks, for example, believed that the uterus wandered around inside a woman's body--an "animal within an animal." If a woman sniffed an unpleasant odor, the uterus would retreat. Organized "digestive excess" began with the eating and drinking contests of antiquity and continue through the hot-dog eating competitions of today. And the "libido-podalic association," connecting male sexuality and the foot, insinuated itself into mainstream medicine in the sixteenth century; meanwhile, the feet of women in some cultures were scrupulously kept from view. Gonzalez-Crussi shows that the many imaginary representations of the body are very much a part of our corporeality.

The Body Fantastic

This book provides a broad, integrative overview of systems biology, giving particular attention to functional modeling, analysis, and experimental testing of protein circuits. It begins at the fundamental building blocks of a cell, introducing the underpinnings from thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, and then addresses biochemical networks. The author focuses on giving students the practical toolkit necessary for work in this field, from model estimation to predictive modeling and beyond. Among the key topics discussed in depth are gene transcription, signal transduction, metabolism, synthetic biology, and systems physiology.

This book introduces factor analysis methods for the study of multivariate stochastic processes whose structure evolves over time. It introduces the theory of factor analysis and evolutionary stochastic processes and combines that to study evolutionary factor models. The book includes many real examples to illustrate applications from such fields as macroeconomics, finance, neuroscience, communication, and psychology. MATLAB® and R code is included throughout the book for implementation of the methods.

Evolutionary Factor Analysis

How to develop robots that will be more like humans and less like computers, more social than machine-like, and more playful and less programmed. Most robots are not very friendly. They vacuum the rug, mow the lawn, dispose of bombs, even perform surgery—but they aren't good conversationalists. It's difficult to make eye contact. If the future promises more human-robot collaboration in both work and play, wouldn't it be better if the robots were less mechanical and more social? In How to Grow a Robot, Mark Lee explores how robots can be more human-like, friendly, and engaging. Developments in artificial intelligence—notably Deep Learning—are widely seen as the foundation on which our robot future will be built. These advances have already brought us self-driving cars and chess match–winning algorithms. But, Lee writes, we need robots that are perceptive, animated, and responsive—more like humans and less like computers, more social than machine-like, and more playful and less programmed. The way to achieve this, he argues, is to “grow” a robot so that it learns from experience—just as infants do. After describing “what's wrong with artificial intelligence” (one key shortcoming: it's not embodied), Lee presents a different approach to building human-like robots: developmental robotics, inspired by developmental psychology and its accounts of early infant behavior. He describes his own experiments with the iCub humanoid robot and its development from newborn helplessness to ability levels equal to a nine-month-old, explaining how the iCub learns from its own experiences. AI robots are designed to know humans as objects; developmental robots will learn empathy. Developmental robots, with an internal model of “self,” will be better interactive partners with humans. That is the kind of future technology we should work toward.
