Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine

Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine

From the discovery of x-rays in 1895 through the emergence of computed tomography (CT) in the 1970s and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the 1980s non-invasive imaging has revolutionized the practice of medicine. While these technologies have thoroughly penetrated clinical practice scientists continue to develop novel approaches that promise to push imaging into entirely new clinical realms while addressing the issues of dose sensitivity or specificity that limit existing imaging approaches. Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine surveys a number of emerging technologies that have the promise to find routine clinical use in the near- (less than five years) mid- (five to ten years) and long-term (more than ten years) time frames. Each chapter provides a detailed discussion of the associated physics and technology and addresses improvements in terms of dose sensitivity and specificity which are limitations of current imaging approaches. In particular the book focuses on modalities with clinical potential rather than those likely to have an impact mainly in preclinical animal imaging. The last ten years have been a period of fervent creativity and progress in imaging technology with improvements in computational power nanofabrication and laser and detector technology leading to major new developments in phase-contrast imaging photoacoustic imaging and optical imaging.

A Feminist Approach to Sensitive Research Designing the Clay Embodiment Research Method

A Feminist Approach to Sensitive Research Designing the Clay Embodiment Research Method

This book explores the development and implementation of the Clay Embodiment Research Method (CERM) with one of the most stigmatized oppressed and marginalized groups of women in Nepal: sex-trafficked women. It argues for the use of a feminist approach to such research given the prevailing patriarchal norms cultural sensitivity of reproductive health stigmatization of sex trafficking and low literacy of the women involved. Beginning with an exploration of the author’s relationship with Nepal and the women who guide the study and the realization that a more accessible research approach was needed than the techniques otherwise commonly used it discusses the use of clay and photography as ideal entry points to engaging with the women in the research and creating this ethical methodology for self-empowerment. Not only does the volume highlight extraordinary insights offered by the women involved in this study through the application of CERM but also the recognition that its use requires expertise that can deal with the potential elicitation of trauma. The book makes the case for further study on improving the method’s use in research education and therapy involving low-literate stigmatized oppressed and marginalized populations particularly where cultural sensitivity is an important consideration. A Feminist Approach to Sensitive Research is suitable for students scholars and researchers in Gender Studies Sociology Health Studies Anthropology and Asian Studies. | A Feminist Approach to Sensitive Research Designing the Clay Embodiment Research Method

Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium

Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium

Restraint and intrinsic stresses in concrete at early ages are vitally important for concrete structures which must remain free of water-permeable cracks such as water-retaining structures tunnel linings locks and dams. The development of hydration heat stiffness and strength also the degree of restraint and especially for high-strength concrete non-thermal effects are decisive for sensitivity to cracking. Determining thses stresses in the laboratory and in construction components has led to a clearer understanding of how they develop and how to optimize mix design temperature and curing conditions. New testing equipment has enabled the effects of all the important parameters to be qualified and more reliable models for predictiong restraint stresses to be developed. Thermal Cracking in Conrete at Early Ages contains 56 contributions by leading international specialists presented at the RILEM Symposium held in October 1994 at the Technical University of Munich.

William James's Hidden Religious Imagination A Universe of Relations

William James's Hidden Religious Imagination A Universe of Relations

This book offers a radical new reading of William James’s work on the idea of ‘religion. ’ Moving beyond previous psychological and philosophical interpretations it uncovers a dynamic imaginative and critical use of the category of religion. This work argues that we can only fully understand James’s work on religion by returning to the ground of his metaphysics of relations and by incorporating literary and historical themes. Author Jeremy Carette develops original perspectives on the influence of James’s father and Calvinism on the place of the body and sex in James on the significance of George Eliot’s novels and Herbert Spencer’s ‘unknown ’ revealing a social and political discourse of civil religion and republicanism and a poetic imagination at the heart of James understanding of religion. These diverse themes are brought together through a post-structural sensitivity and a recovery of the importance of the French philosopher Charles Renouvier to James’s work. This study pushes new boundaries in Jamesian scholarship by reading James with pluralism and from the French tradition. It will be a benchmark text in the reshaping of James and the nineteenth-century foundations of the modern study of ‘religion. ’ | William James's Hidden Religious Imagination A Universe of Relations
