Biophysics of the Cochlea
This book contains the proceedings of an international hearing-research conference held in Germany 2002. The conference brought together experts in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, physiology, engineering, physics, mathematics, audiology and medicine to synthesize and extend our understanding of how the cochlea works. Topics are discussed experimentally and theoretically at the molecular, cellular and whole-organ levels. Some of the topics are: mechanosensitivity of motor proteins; mechanochemical transduction by motor proteins; mechanoelectrical transduction in the stereocilia of hair cells; electromechanical transduction in the stereocilia, soma and synapses of hair cells; multidimensional vibration of the organ of Corti; and otoacoustic emissions. This book will be invaluable to researchers and students in auditory science.
Chewing Gum in Holy Water: A Childhood in the Heart of Italy
A warm, tender, and richly nostalgic look at growing up in a remote village in a postwar Italy on the brink of modernity.
2024
The first part of Volume 14 of the Yearbook presents ten essays concerned with Futurism in Italy, Russia, Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Germany, and two focusing on dance and typography. Among other things, this publication provides analysis of the futurist manifestos from late 1910 and 1911 and Velimir Khlebnikov’s futurist essays, as well as the networks of Futurism in Odessa. In the second part, a section on Caricatures and Satires of Futurism in the Contemporary Press examines five humorous images from five countries, in which the movement and its leader were lampooned. This section is followed by nine reviews of recent exhibitions, conferences and publications, and an annual bibliography with details of 128 new books on Futurism. Futurism from international, comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives Transcultural view of international avant-gardes
Sands of Time
Cursed by Heaven and Hell alike, the Mage of Many Names wanders the ages from land to land, his ways often mysterious, his goals changing with events and his moods. At periods he is generous, even honorable, while in other times he is diabolic and quite mad. From ancient Rome to modern Iraq and then to worlds beyond, he goes by names such as Simon Magus, John Dee, and many others. He can be the strongest of companions yet the most dangerous of enemies. Within this collection are 16 short stories: The Mage Who Would Not Die Midnight in Oplontis The Unconquered Mage Behold Now the Behemoth Carcass and Mallet Devil and Devil Damned Where the Baptized Drown Interlude in Lombardy Bullets for Amy Born to Bring Trouble Walking Between the Rain Terror in the Flare Lights Killing Just for Fun Beneath a Persian Sun The Way the Sunlight Lies Upon Her Hair The Impulse to Punish A number of these stories have appeared elsewhere in print or in digital formats, but this is the first time they have all appeared together.
The Ph.D. Trap Revisited
This book lays bare the faults of the Ph.D. program, showing that in most disciplines it is savage, mechanical, and cruel.
Concepts and Challenges in the Biophysics of Hearing
This book extends our understanding of the mechanics and biophysics of hearing by bringing together the latest research on the topic by experts in cell and molecular biology, physiology, physics, engineering and mathematics. It contains the proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on the Mechanics of Hearing that was held at Keele University in the United Kingdom at the end of July, 2008. Topics for discussion included theoretical and experimental research at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. Separate sections of the book deal with: the transmission of sound energy to and from the inner ear, and wave propagation within the inner ear; the enhancement of stimulus wave motion th...
The Cinema of Franceso Rosi
"Francesco Rosi (1922-2015) occupies a unique place in postwar Italian, indeed postwar world cinema. His films show a consistent formal balance while representing historical events as social emblems that examine, shape, and reflect the national identity. This important body of work, which has made a vital mark on the works of directors like Martin Scorsese remains to be examined for the English-speaking audience. This study addresses Rosi's films as mosaics fashioned out of "clips" collected from the various stages of production, most specifically from the director's own archival materials. My approach situates each film in its artistic and cultural context, but also attends to the specific forms and ethical commitment that characterize each film"--
Human and Machine Hearing
This book describes how human hearing works and how to build machines that analyze sounds in the same way that people do.
