This book provides an essential overview of the basic principles of imaging modalities, accompanied by examples of their applications in modern clinical and associated pre-clinical studies. The monograph is based on the original results of investigation of the efficiency use of laser light and Mueller-matrix polarimetry approach for assessment of myocardial tissues towards confirmation the cause of death. A morphological analysis of necrotic changes in the myocardial tissue of patients that died due to heart attack, coronary heart disease and acute coronary insufficiency was carried out and the data and histological sections of the myocardium inspected utilizing Mueller-matrix mapping of tis...
"I lift my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help"(Psalm121:1) I gazed out on the beauty of my native Ukraine in 1982, moved by the majesty of the Carpathian Mountains, the meadows and the Prut River, not knowing what challenges and suffering would be coming to me over the next several years. At this time, I was also not aware of how my faith through Christ and the Holy Spirit would sustain me through those times to come, living as a newly-repented and saved Christian believer under the Communist regime, an atheistic, totalitarian, military government. With God's grace, it may also lead you to Christ through deep regeneration of your soul and being Born Again. If you already a believe...
This book provides an intellectual history of the modernist "minimum dwelling", exploring how early modernism saw mass housing as a primary vehicle for achieving the utopian transformation of society. It reappraises the often-overlooked 2nd and 3rd CIAM conferences (1929-31), addressing their engagement with the "minimum dwelling" and revealing them both as milestones in the organisation's annals and as seminal moments in the history of interwar modernism. In 1929, an eclectic international group of avant-garde modernist architects, including Ernst May, Mart Stam, Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier, met in Frankfurt for the second instalment of the CIAM conferences. They discussed a design prog...
La storiografia sul rinnovamento dell'architettura e dell'urbanistica del Novecento ha dato grande spazio al contributo dei Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne (Ciam) che si tengono tra il 1928 e il 1959, mentre ha finora trascurato i congressi dell'International Federation for Housing and Town Planning (Ifhtp), erede della gloriosa Garden Cities and Town Planning Association fondata da Ebenezer Howard alle soglie del primo conflitto mondiale. È in questo ambito che il libro getta il suo sguardo tentando di ricostruire, a partire dal 1923, il portato di questa esperienza alla maturazione della cultura urbanistica moderna in un periodo caratterizzato da grandi trasformazioni urban...

This book gathers the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Nanotechnologies and Biomedical Engineering, held on September 18-21, 2019, in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova. It continues the tradition of the previous conference proceedings, thus reporting on both fundamental and applied research at the interface between nanotechnologies and biomedical engineering. Topics include: developments in bio-micro/nanotechnologies and devices; biomedical signal processing; biomedical imaging; biomaterials for biomedical applications; biomimetics; bioinformatics and e-health, and advances in a number of related areas. The book offers a timely snapshot of cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research and developments in the field of biomedical and nano-engineering.
In his book 21 Lessons for the 21st Century the historian Yuval Noah Harrari wrote that man had the possibility to conquer the world precisely because he could create fictional stories and believe in them. People created more and more complex stories about themselves that served and continue to serve, according to the professor of the University of Jerusalem, building unity, social harmony and gaining power. A narrative about past, in which memory fragmentation and victimisation play a large role, may be a temptation to instrumentalise the past. This is especially true in relation to the events of the twentieth century, when a series of bloody war conflicts occurred. As shown in the following post-conference volume, today the wars of the past (World War I and World War II, Indian-Pakistani war) and current conflicts (Russo-Ukrainian war, war in Sudan or Nagorno-Karabakh) are also a catalyst for the process of instrumentalisation. This process can be analysed both at the level of the evolution of the language of conflict, including the erosion of the values of democratic dialogue, and the use of specific means of commemorating the past (monuments, museums, the Internet).
