Neo-historical East Berlin
In the years prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the leaders of the German Democratic Republic planned to construct a city center that was simultaneously modern and historical, consisting of both redesign of old buildings and new architectural developments. Drawing from recently released archival sources and interviews with former key government officials, decision-makers and architects, this book sheds light not only on this unique programme in postmodern design, but also on the debates which were taking place with the Socialist government.
Ternary and Multinary Compounds
Multinary compounds are now used in a wide range of devices, including photovoltaic solar cells, light emitters and detectors, and piezoelectric actuators. Ternary and Multinary Compounds provides an interdisciplinary forum for scientists and engineers working on fundamental and applied aspects of these materials. The volume focuses on optoelectronic properties, electronic band structure, charge carrier transport, optical and magnetic properties, and superconductivity. It includes chapters on the research and development of new techniques and novel materials, such as laser ablation deposition and ferroelectrics.
My Body Given for You
The Eucharist originated at the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples. It is based on the prayer of thanksgiving that Jesus pronounced over the bread and wine at that meal. “Eucharist” means “thanksgiving”, “praise”, and “blessing”. The Church celebrates the Eucharist as a memorial of the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is more than a remembrance of the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples. In the Eucharist the sacrifice of our redemption becomes present sacramentally. In the past, dogmatic theology has treated the meaning of the Eucharist while disregarding the form of its liturgical celebration, whereas liturgical studies have been content with only the l...
The Taste of Art
The Taste of Art offers a sample of scholarly essays that examine the role of food in Western contemporary art practices. The contributors are scholars from a range of disciplines, including art history, philosophy, film studies, and history. As a whole, the volume illustrates how artists engage with food as matter and process in order to explore alternative aesthetic strategies and indicate countercultural shifts in society. The collection opens by exploring the theoretical intersections of art and food, food art’s historical root in Futurism, and the ways in which food carries gendered meaning in popular film. Subsequent sections analyze the ways in which artists challenge mainstream ide...
Identification and clinical evaluation of senescence-associated markers to distinguish melanocytic nevi from melanomas
Melanoma is a form of cancer that develops in melanocytes. While it represents only 5% of skin malignancies, it is the most aggressive and lethal. Benign proliferation of these cells form the melanocytic nevi. The definitive diagnosis of melanocytic nevi or melanoma lesions is histopathologic. However, it is estimated that a correct diagnosis is established by means of standard skin biopsy in only 83% of the melanocytic lesions; of the remaining cases 8% and 9% are overinterpreted (false positives) and under-interpreted (false negatives), respectively. This underscores the importance of additional diagnostic tests. Since cellular senescence is considered to be a tumor suppressive mechanism, ...
German Literature in a New Century
While the first decade after the fall of the Berlin wall was marked by the challenges of unification and the often difficult process of reconciling East and West German experiences, many Germans expected that the “new century” would achieve “normalization.” The essays in this volume take a closer look at Germany’s new normalcy and argue for a more nuanced picture that considers the ruptures as well as the continuities. Germany’s new generation of writers is more diverse than ever before, and their texts often not only speak of a Germany that is multicultural but also take a more playful attitude toward notions of identity. Written with an eye toward similar and dissimilar developments and traditions on both sides of the Atlantic, this volume balances overviews of significant trends in present-day cultural life with illustrative analyses of individual writers and texts.
Essentials for Aesthetic Dermatology in Ethnic Skin
This book focuses on creating awareness and detailing the nuances of aesthetic dermatology practice in skin of color. It highlights practical considerations in pre-/intra-/post-procedure care with an emphasis on patient selection for aesthetic procedures and the associated challenges involved in real-time practice. It aims to cater to audiences of countries with both high and low populations of dark-skinned patients, as clinicians often have limited experience in treating this group. Numerous topics are explored through case-based discussions and practical tips. This is a practical ready reference manual for a cosmetic dermatologist dealing with darker skin. Key Features Covers the geo-ethnic skin types of Asians, Southeast Asians, Africans, and Hispanics Explores the topics through case-based discussions Provides comprehensive details about the use of machines on skin of color
Construction and utilization of digital twins for personalized therapeutic predictions
Modern healthcare faces a significant challenge, namely that 25-70% of patients with common diseases do not benefit from standard treatments despite the availability of over 13,000 drugs registered in DrugBank. This discrepancy is likely due to these diseases' complex and heterogeneous molecular nature rather than a lack of therapeutic options. Emerging technologies have revealed the immense molecular complexity underlying common diseases. For instance, singlecell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has demonstrated altered gene interactions in and across multiple cell types in numerous tissues. Furthermore, these technologies have revealed vast molecular differences between patients with the same di...
A Companion to the Eucharist in the Reformation
By the end of the fifteenth century, the Eucharist had come to encompass theology, liturgy, art, architecture, and music. In the sixteenth century, each of these dimensions was questioned, challenged, rethought, as western European Christians divided over their central act of worship. This volume offers an introduction to early modern thinking on the Eucharist—as theology, as Christology, as a moment of human and divine communion, as that which the faithful do, as taking place, and as visible and audible. The scholars gathered in this volume speak from a range of disciplines—liturgics, history, history of art, history of theology, philosophy, musicology, and literary theory. The volume t...
Cities as Multiple Landscapes
Cities are composed of a combination of urban and rural spaces, buildings and boundaries, and human bodies engaged in political, social, and cultural discourses. Together, these combine to create what the contributors to this volume call multiple landscapes. Developing a new theoretical conceptualization of cities, this book unites American and European approaches to comparative urban studies by investigating the concept of multiple landscapes in two sister cities: New Orleans and Innsbruck. As the essays reveal, both New Orleans and Innsbruck have long been centers of multicultural exchange, have strong senses of historical heritage, and profit from the spectacular geographies in which they are situated. Geography, in particular, links both cities to environmental, technological, and security challenges that must be considered in connection with aesthetic, cultural, and ecological debates. Exploring the many connections between New Orleans and Innsbruck, the interdisciplinary essays in this book will change the way we think about cities both local and abroad.
