An Illustrated Guide to Cockroaches
City dwellers, especially in places like Manhattan, grow accustomed to having several hundred uninvited houseguests in their homes at all times: cockroaches. Slinking in the shadowy hollows between walls, under sinks, and along the floorboards, the ubiquitous urban insects are loathsome to most and frightening to many. But you only fear what you don't know. Ekaterina Smirnova's "An Illustrated Guide to Cockroaches" will help everyone terrified of their six-legged roommates: through Smirnova's illustration and explanation, the entire life-cycle of the typical cockroach is laid bare. Part humorous, part disgusting, "An Illustrated Guide to Cockroaches "is a necessary component of every urban bookshelf.
Human and Frozen Waters
This book is a part of the Frozen Waters series by Ekaterina Smirnova. As a form of visual protest against global warming, the artist celebrates humanity coexisting with snow throughout America and Asia. Winter sports (Lake Placid), cultural events (Ice festival in Siberia, Snow festival in Hokkaido), scientific research of Antarctica (Sapporo University), food preservation (fish market in Seoul) and more show snow's diverse impact on human life.
Animals and Frozen Waters
This book belongs to the Frozen Waters series by Ekaterina Smirnova. The Frozen Waters project is an artistic exploration of snow and ice - natural phenomena, under threat of global warming. While occurring around the world seasonally, snow is a big part of animal life. In this book the artist observes animals interacting with snow in Russia (Siberia), USA (Alaska, Washington, New York), Canada, Japan (Hokkaido) and the Netherlands. The patterns of animals during winter are disrupted by increasing temperatures world wide, threatening their populations.
Textures of Frozen Waters
This book is a part of the Frozen Waters series by Ekaterina Smirnova. The Frozen Waters project is an artistic exploration of snow and ice - natural phenomena, under threat of global warming. This book includes a collection of photographs documenting the diverse forms that frozen waters take. From rare snow conditions of diamond dust, sastrugi, needle ice and snow rollers to commonly found snow fall and frost, the artist captures delicate forms of frozen waters.
Exploring the Invisible
How science changed the way artists understand reality Exploring the Invisible shows how modern art expresses the first secular, scientific worldview in human history. Now fully revised and expanded, this richly illustrated book describes two hundred years of scientific discoveries that inspired French Impressionist painters and Art Nouveau architects, as well as Surrealists in Europe, Latin America, and Japan. Lynn Gamwell describes how the microscope and telescope expanded the artist's vision into realms unseen by the naked eye. In the nineteenth century, a strange and exciting world came into focus, one of microorganisms in a drop of water and spiral nebulas in the night sky. The world is...
Language as a Scientific Tool
Language is the most essential medium of scientific activity. Many historians, sociologists and science studies scholars have investigated scientific language for this reason, but only few have examined those cases where language itself has become an object of scientific discussion. Over the centuries scientists have sought to control, refine and engineer language for various epistemological, communicative and nationalistic purposes. This book seeks to explore cases in the history of science in which questions or concerns with language have bubbled to the surface in scientific discourse. This opens a window into the particular ways in which scientists have conceived of and construed language...
Advances in Design Engineering III
This book contains the papers presented at the XXXI International Congress INGEGRAF “Graphic Expression: reunion, reflection, representation,” held on June 29–30 and July 1, 2021, in Málaga, Spain. It reports on cutting-edge topics in product design and manufacturing, such as industrial methods for integrated product and process design, innovative design and computer-aided design. Further topics covered include virtual simulation and reverse engineering, additive manufacturing, product manufacturing,engineering methods in medicine and education, representation techniques and nautical, engineering and construction, aeronautics and aerospace design and modeling. The book is divided into six main sections, reflecting the focus and primary themes of the conference. The contributions presented here provide researchers, engineers and experts in a range of industrial engineering subfields with extensive information to support their daily work; but also they are intended to stimulate new research directions, advanced applications of the methods discussed and future interdisciplinary collaborations.
Lipids in Plant and Algae Development
This book summarizes recent advances in understanding the functions of plant and algal lipids in photosynthesis, in development and signaling, and in industrial applications. As readers will discover, biochemistry, enzymology and analytical chemistry, as well as gene knock-out studies have all contributed to our rapidly increasing understanding of the functions of lipids. In the past few decades, distinct physical and biochemical properties of specific lipid classes were revealed in plant and algal lipids and the functional aspects of lipids in modulating critical biological processes have been uncovered. These chapters from international authors across relevant research fields highlight the...
Secret in the Antarctic Ice
Buried deep beneath Antarctica's eternal ice lies a secret that could change humanity's fate. A team of Russian scientists at the Vostok research station makes a startling discovery. Hidden in the glaciers they find an alien capsule containing an unknown virus with cataclysmic potential. From that moment on, a race against time begins to unveil the truth to the world before it's too late. Alexey Marinetto, a skilled counterintelligence agent from Moscow, finds himself unwillingly embroiled in international intrigue after receiving a cryptic message from his friend Igor, head of the Antarctic mission. Pursued by ruthless hitmen, Alexey is forced to spring back into action and immerse himself ...
Internet of Things, Smart Spaces, and Next Generation Networks and Systems
This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Next Generation Teletraffic and Wired/Wireless Advanced Networks and Systems, NEW2AN 2021, and the 14th Conference on Internet of Things and Smart Spaces, ruSMART 2021. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 41 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 118 submissions.
