The Science and Philosophy of Martial Arts
Through the lenses of Shotokan Karate and biomedicine, sensei and biomedical scientist Alex W. Tong shows readers how body, mind, and spirit can be developed through martial arts practice. Through the practice of martial arts, a person can realize their full potential--not only in body, but in mind and spirit. The Science and Philosophy of Martial Arts shows readers how. Author, sensei, and biomedical scientist Alex W. Tong delves into the physical, mental, and spiritual components of martial arts and integrates contemporary sports psychology, kinesiology, and neuroscience into a nuanced and illuminating understanding of what martial arts practice can be. Structured into three sections, Tong...
Oxygen Transport to Tissue XXXIV
From the 39th annual conference of the International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT), held in Washington, DC, USA in July 2011, this volume covers aspects of oxygen transport from air to the cells, organs and organisms; instrumentation and methods to sense oxygen and clinical evidence. Oxygen Transport to Tissue XXXIV includes contributions from scientists (physicists, biologists and chemists), engineers, clinicians and mathematicians.
Biophysics Of Consciousness: A Foundational Approach
The problem of how the brain produces consciousness, subjectivity and 'something it is like to be' remains one of the greatest challenges to a complete science of the natural world. While various scientists and philosophers approach the problem from their own unique perspectives and in the terms of their own respective fields, Biophysics of Consciousness: A Foundational Approach attempts a consilience across disparate disciplines to explain how it is possible that an objective brain produces subjective experience.This volume unites the crème de la crème of physicists, neuroscientists, and psychiatrists in the attempt to understand consciousness through a foundational approach encompassing ontological, evolutionary, neurobiological, and Freudian interpretations with the focus on conscious phenomena occurring in the brain. By integrating the perspectives of these diverse disciplines with the latest research and theories on the biophysics of the brain, the book tries to explain how consciousness can be an adaptive and causal element in the natural world.
Photoptics 2014
This collection of the selected papers presented to the Second International Conference on Photonics, Optics and laser technology PHOTOPTICS 2014 covers the three main conference scientific areas of “Optics”, “Photonics” and “Lasers”. The selected papers, in two classes full and short, result from a double blind review carried out by conference Program Committee members who are highly qualified experts in the conference topic areas.
Liberating Sociology: From Newtonian Toward Quantum Imaginations: Volume 1: Unriddling the Quantum Enigma
In this major new study in the sociology of scientific knowledge, social theorist Mohammad H. Tamdgidi reports having unriddled the so-called ‘quantum enigma.’ This book opens the lid of the Schrödinger’s Cat box of the ‘quantum enigma’ after decades and finds something both odd and familiar: Not only the cat is both alive and dead, it has morphed into an elephant in the room in whose interpretation Einstein, Bohr, Bohm, and others were each both right and wrong because the enigma has acquired both localized and spread-out features whose unriddling requires both physics and sociology amid both transdisciplinary and transcultural contexts. The book offers, in a transdisciplinary an...
From Parallel to Emergent Computing
Modern computing relies on future and emergent technologies which have been conceived via interaction between computer science, engineering, chemistry, physics and biology. This highly interdisciplinary book presents advances in the fields of parallel, distributed and emergent information processing and computation. The book represents major breakthroughs in parallel quantum protocols, elastic cloud servers, structural properties of interconnection networks, internet of things, morphogenetic collective systems, swarm intelligence and cellular automata, unconventionality in parallel computation, algorithmic information dynamics, localized DNA computation, graph-based cryptography, slime mold ...
The Age of Resilience
The Age of Resilience: Reimagining Existence on a Rewilding Earth is a wide-ranging look at the political, economic and cultural effects of the global shift from an economy based on efficiency to one based on resilience. Humans have long believed we could force the natural world to adapt to us; only now are we beginning to face the fact that it is we who will have to adapt to survive and thrive in an unpredictable natural world. A massive transformation of our economy (and with it the way we live our lives) has already begun. In The Age of Resilience, Jeremy Rifkin describes this great transformation and its profound effect on the way we think about the meaning of our existence, our economy, and how we govern ourselves as the earth rewilds around us. In The Age of Resilience, Jeremy Rifkin—a world-renowned expert and global governmental advisor on the impact of technological changes on human life and the environment—has written the defining work on the impact of climate change on the way humans organize their lives.
Biotron is the key to human health. The use of concentrated radiation of young organisms for health improvement and prolongation of active life
It describes history of attempts to rejuvenate old people. Now a lot of data has been accumulated on the distant impact of some biological objects on others. The key importance is the concentration of exposure. For this purpose, Biotron or Bio-camera devices have been invented. In the experiment, mice lived 25% longer and remained young and active in old age, unlike decrepit and sedentary control animals. Various EKOM Biotrons are described, as well as their impact on human health.
A era da resiliência
Há muito tempo, nós, acreditamos que somos capazes de forçar o mundo natural a se adaptar a nós; mas só agora começamos a encarar o fato de que nós é que devemos nos adaptar a ele se quisermos sobreviver e prosperar em um mundo natural imprevisível. Segundo Jeremy Rifkin uma enorme transformação de nossa economia já teve início: estamos passando da Era do Progresso para a Era da Resiliência, reaprendendo a nos adaptar às forças naturais para assegurar o futuro de nossa espécie. Este livro explora essa nova abordagem da ciência acerca da natureza humana e da evolução da vida na Terra. A mudança da geopolítica para a política da biosfera, da globalização para a "glocalização", do corporativismo para o compartilhamento de bens e a ascensão da governança biorregional, além da extensão da democracia representativa, são alguns dos novos movimentos e forças que ajudarão a definir e moldar os próximos anos. Uma obra desbravadora e esclarecedora, que compõe o contexto para a mudança de paradigma, altamente recomendada a todos que se interessam pelo futuro do planeta e pela preservação de nossa espécie
