Ipsis Litteris
Because it is a set of words that are not possible to be understood in their literal sense, it is often very difficult or even impossible to translate idiomatic expressions into other languages. But at the same time, they talk a lot about the peculiarity of a culture and its people. The idea of making drawings "literally" is a playful way of presenting these expressions and promoting reflection on different cultures.
Oil Spill Incidents on Coral Reefs
Despite the great ecological and economic importance of coral reefs, these ecosystems are especially sensitive to environmental changes and vulnerable to impacts from various anthropogenic activities, including contamination by oil spills. Oil spills occur worldwide, mostly in marine environments, and have been reported for decades. Furthermore, the main oil transport routes in the oceans are close to important coral reefs and many of the major oil spills in history have occurred near these areas. Because of the widespread use of petroleum products, offshore oil and gas production has significantly increased its potential since the 1990s, thus increasing the risk of accidents in marine envir...

House of Caravans
A marvelous debut novel exploring the fractures caused by the Partition of India, as well as the legacy and contemporary parallels of sectarian violence around the world. Lahore, British India. 1943. As World War rages, resentment of colonial rule grows, and with it acts of rebellion. Animated by idealistic dreams of an independent India, Chhote Nanu agrees to plant a bomb intended for the British superintendent of police. Some four years later, following a torturous imprisonment, Chhote flees the city as it descends into violence. Carrying the young son of his murdered wife through scenes of unspeakable bloodshed, he encounters his brother, Barre Nanu, the two of them caught between a vanis...
Efficient Automatic Segmentation of Tubular Structures in Images and Volumes
The segmentation of tubular structures is still an open eld of investigation, particularly in medical imaging, where the quality of the image is poor with respect to natural images. Despite the quality of state-of-the-art segmentation methods, little effort has been devoted to the computational effi ciency of the algorithms. E fficiency is an important topic, since intra-operative computer assisted interventions require near real-time performance. In this master thesis, we present a simple, yet effective, algorithm that e fficiently segments vessels in 2D images and 3D volumes. The algorithm requires no initialization and has a computational cost of O(SN logN), where S is the number of scales and N is the number of image pixels. Results on the DRIVE dataset show that the proposed method has near state-of-theart performance with very little computational burden in the 2-dimensional case. Qualitative results on the Rotterdam Coronary Artery dataset show that the method is easily extendable to 3-dimensions.
Columnar Cacti and Their Mutualists
A collection of writings on the ecology, evolution, and conservation of columnar cacti and their vertebrate mutualists, demonstrating that the survival of these cacti depends on animals who pollinate them and disperse their seeds.
Somatic Embryogenesis
This volume provides an overview of methods for plant species, mainly species with high economic value, to achieve in vitro propagation through somatic embryogenesis. Chapters guide readers through somatic embryogenesis protocols, somatic embryos in plants, and new methodologies that are used out to solve in vitro recalcitrance of many species to this morphogenetic route. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Somatic Embryogenesis: Methods and Protocols aims to guide future researcher to achieve success in obtaining and regenerating somatic embryos.
