The Self and Its Disorders
Shaun Gallagher puts forward a pluralist account of the self, and a philosophical account of psychiatric disorders as disorders of the self. He argues that what have been seen as different selves - physical, social, private, extended - should rather be seen as variable factors or processes organized in a certain pattern: this pattern is the self.
The Hand
Drawing on shared research experiences and collaborative projects, this book offers a broad and timely perspective on research on the hand and its current challenges. It especially emphasizes the interdisciplinary context in which researchers need to be trained in contemporary science. From language to psychology, from neurology to the social sciences, and from art to philosophy and religion, the chapters discuss various aspects involved in hand research and therapy. On the basis of concrete and validated case studies, they approach hand function and gestures from different perspectives – not only neurological and medical, but also philosophical, evolutionary and anthropological. By highlighting the overlaps between different areas of research, the book seeks to foster better communication between researchers, and ultimately a better understanding of hand function and its recovery. It offers essential information and inspirations for students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of psychology, epistemology, bioengineering, neuroscience, anthropology and bioethics.
Nonlinear Optical Properties of Liquid Crystals and Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals
This monograph is devoted to a detailed treatment of the nonlinear optical properties of liquid crystals. The basic concepts of director optical reorientation and thermal nonlinearities are presented showing the fundamental theoretical approaches and describing the main experimental observations. The presentation is self-consistent and tutorial although the subject matter is of current research interest.The last part of the book deals with more recent results on new composite materials: Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals (PDLC). A general presentation of the optical properties is given and the observations of several nonlinear optical effects are reported.
Progress in Artificial Intelligence
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence, EPIA 2005, held in Covilhã, Portugal in December 2005 as nine integrated workshops. The 58 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 167 submissions. In accordance with the nine constituting workshops, the papers are organized in topical sections on general artificial intelligence (GAIW 2005), affective computing (AC 2005), artificial life and evolutionary algorithms (ALEA 2005), building and applying ontologies for the semantic Web (BAOSW 2005), computational methods in bioinformatics (CMB 2005), extracting knowledge from databases and warehouses (EKDB&W 2005), intelligent robotics (IROBOT 2005), multi-agent systems: theory and applications (MASTA 2005), and text mining and applications (TEMA 2005).
Neuropsychological Evaluation of the Child

Supporting Neurodivergent Children and Families
Supporting Neurodivergent Children and Families presents an innovative blueprint using academic literature, research and theory, to provide a best practice approach in equipping practitioners to support neurodivergent children and their families. The knowledge and insight provided in this book allows practitioners to effectively create supportive environments and plan appropriate practice responses, whilst never changing the child. By altering the system perspective and transcending the physical boundaries of space where the interaction occurs, a supportive environment is created, thus providing more positive outcomes. The blend of practice experiences, tangible case studies and theory prompts the reader to critically reflect on their practice and potentially integrate new, innovative changes to their approach. This comprehensive and thought-provoking read is not only ideal for students and professionals who interact with neurodiverse families, but also practitioners and educators looking to alter their practical approach to understanding neurodivergent children and their families.
Liquid Crystals In The Nineties And Beyond
This book is a collection of 13 articles, written by experts, on different aspects of the physics and applications of liquid crystals. In addition to giving self-contained review articles with good bibliography, the authors have discussed the anticipated or highly important and desirable breakthroughs in the near future in their respective fields. The book should provide readers with a good starting point, insight, and an indicator of what current important problems are. Good researchers should benefit in fine tuning their efforts to test the ideas put forward by the authors.
Proceedings of the 2nd International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Image and Imagination
This book gathers peer-reviewed papers presented at the 1st International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Image and Imagination (IMG 2019), held in Alghero, Italy, in July 2019. Highlighting interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary research concerning graphics science and education, the papers address theoretical research as well as applications, including education, in several fields of science, technology and art. Mainly focusing on graphics for communication, visualization, description and storytelling, and for learning and thought construction, the book provides architects, engineers, computer scientists, and designers with the latest advances in the field, particularly in the context of science, arts and education.
