Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention − MICCAI 2017
The three-volume set LNCS 10433, 10434, and 10435 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2017, held inQuebec City, Canada, in September 2017. The 255 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 800 submissions in a two-phase review process. The papers have been organized in the following topical sections: Part I: atlas and surface-based techniques; shape and patch-based techniques; registration techniques, functional imaging, connectivity, and brain parcellation; diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) and tensor/fiber processing; and image segmentation and modelling. Part II: optical imaging; airway and vessel analysis; motion and cardiac analysis; tumor processing; planning and simulation for medical interventions; interventional imaging and navigation; and medical image computing. Part III: feature extraction and classification techniques; and machine learning in medical image computing.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Healthy and Diseased Brain Networks
An important aspect of neuroscience is to characterize the underlying connectivity patterns of the human brain (i.e., human connectomics). Over the past few years, researchers have demonstrated that by combining a variety of different neuroimaging technologies (e.g., structural MRI, diffusion MRI and functional MRI) with sophisticated analytic strategies such as graph theory, it is possible to noninvasively map the patterns of structural and functional connectivity of human whole-brain networks. With these novel approaches, many studies have shown that human brain networks have nonrandom properties such as modularity, small-worldness and highly connected hubs. Importantly, these quantifiable...
Empathy and Morality
Empathy's centrality to morality is heavily debated. Many religious and philosophical traditions have favoured empathy, sympathy, or compassion as key to moral thought, conduct, or motivation. This collection brings together original papers in philosophy, psychology, psychiatry, anthropology, and neuroscience to give a comprehensive overview of the issue, and includes an extensive survey of empathy and empathy-related emotions. It is distinctive in focusing on the moral import of empathy and sympathy.
Understanding Other Minds
Why do children with autism have such trouble developing normal social understanding of other people's feelings? This new edition updates the field by linking autism research to the newest methods for studying the brain.
Cine-Ethics
This volume looks at the significance and range of ethical questions that pertain to various film practices. Diverse philosophical traditions provide useful frameworks to discuss spectators’ affective and emotional engagement with film, which can function as a moral ground for one’s connection to others and to the world outside the self. These traditions encompass theories of emotion, phenomenology, the philosophy of compassion, and analytic and continental ethical thinking and environmental ethics. This anthology is one of the first volumes to open up a dialogue among these diverse methodologies. Contributors bring to the fore some of the assumptions implicitly shared between these theories and forge a new relationship between them in order to explore the moral engagement of the spectator and the ethical consequences of both producing and consuming films
Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention -- MICCAI 2009
The two-volume set LNCS 5761 and LNCS 5762 constitute the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2009, held in London, UK, in September 2009. Based on rigorous peer reviews, the program committee carefully selected 259 revised papers from 804 submissions for presentation in two volumes. The first volume includes 125 papers divided in topical sections on cardiovascular image guided intervention and robotics; surgical navigation and tissue interaction; intra-operative imaging and endoscopic navigation; motion modeling and image formation; image registration; modeling and segmentation; image segmentation and classification; segmentation and atlas based techniques; neuroimage analysis; surgical navigation and robotics; image registration; and neuroimage analysis: structure and function.
Mustafa's Last Well
In 1207 Hijri, AD 1776, a young water-diviner named Mustafa experiences a strange, mystical event. 43 years later, he divines water in the desert for what is to be his last well. In 1367 Hijri, AD 1948, in an underdeveloped state on the Persian Gulf, the naïve and oppressed ladies of the Naamlahn Royal Harem see their lives transformed by the discovery of oil within their country's borders. This monumental discovery will lead to unprecedented economic and social upheaval in Naamlah, with the Emir, Salim, determined to lead his country through the shifting sands of development and modernisation. But with political enemies within and without, and religious fanatics whispering in the shadows, Emir Salim and the ladies of his harem face an arduous struggle towards their ambitious goals.
Les humeurs de la mer
Troisième volet d'un roman (qui devrait en comporter quatre) dont on a beaucoup parlé - en bien et en mal - et dont chaque tome peut se lire indépendamment des autres. Après avoir abordé le mythe du meurtre de Caïn, puis décrit dans "une anti-épopée" (Eric Roussel) les dramatiques derniers jours de la présence française en Algérie, Volkoff se lance dans une intrigue franco-russe, à saveur théologique et sur fond d'espionnage : cela donne ##Intersection##, que Rinaldi démolit avec une rage surprenante. Il parle de prose lourdement symbolique, de clichés, de prétention intellectuelle, d'idées nocives, etc. Pour Rinaldi, Volfoff est "une sorte de Guy des Cars tombé dans la fosse mystique de Raymond Abellio". Quel portrait{ On est loin des louanges de Jacqueline Piatier (pour le tome 2) de celles de Jacques Folch-Ribas (pour le tome 1), etc. Avouons, en toute simplicité, notre perplexité devant un cas semblable{ Situons cependant l'ensemble romanesque en parlant "de roman d'aventures guerrières."
