Abstract:

There is important local processing in cortex as well as the more dramatic massive projections back and forth between cortical regions. Using short, slow, local connections eliminates many long, expensive, fast interregional connections. Cortical pyramidal cells connect to neighbors over several millimeters in the form of patchy connections. Connections are often reciprocal between patches. Groups of cells called cortical columns are ubiquitous in cortex and seem to be fundamental architectural units. A functional column is perhaps .3 mm in diameter containing perhaps 10,000 cells. Intrinsic imaging studies of columns in inferotemporal cortex show they respond selectively to complex aspects of images. A small number of columns respond to a complex object. In inferotemporal cortex, these responses might be “words” in a language of vision. There is evidence for scaling of computation from single units to cortical regions. Understanding the function of such ensembles is the future.

Abstract:

This chapter describes therapeutic plasma exchange, as well as cytapheresis for hyperleukocytosis and essential thrombocythemia, as well as harvesting haematological stem cells (HSC) for transplantation. Instrumentation and techniques are mostly density centrifugation, much less column adsorption for antibodies or membrane filtration for noxious molecules. Pathophysiology of apheresis is dealt with in great detail with emphasis on prevention and treatment of side effects, much more critical in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Main manifestations are: hypocalcaemia due to chelation by anticoagulants, hypo- and less hypervolaemia, allergic reactions to sedimenting and volume replacement starches or plasma, depletion of coagulation factors, vitamin K, immunoglobulins, lymphocytes with long lifespan and platelets. Wash-out of drugs for comorbid or underlying conditions occurs inadvertently. Main indications for plasma exchange are thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)/haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) with plasma or cryo-poor supernatant (based on RCT), hyperviscosity syndromes, post-transfusion purpura (PTP) and auto-immune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA), where all other treatments have failed. In cold agglutinin disease, cryoglobulinaemia, coagulation factor inhibitors and ABO incompatible HSC transplants, plasmapheresis has proven useful. Myeloma with renal failure does not seem to benefit significantly from plasma exchange (randomized controlled trials proven).

Abstract:

Buoyancy largely supports fish, reducing the role of the skeleton, which functions as an attachment for muscle involved in movement and in protection, as exoskeleton (scales, scutes, bony plates) and as endoskeleton (vertebral column, skull). The general organization of fish skeletons and their component parts are described, as well as bone and cartilage. The interesting occurrence of acellular bone, additional to cellular bone, in teleosts is considered. Fish show metameric segmentation with myotomes on either side of the vertebral column, the latter acting as a compression strut, preventing shortening. Myotome muscle is organized into linear units named sarcomeres which contract by means of protein fibres, myosin and actin, sliding past each other. Usually fish body wall muscles occur as a thin outer layer of aerobic red muscle, with an inner thick region of anaerobic white muscle. Interspecific variability in the relative roles of myotomes and fin musculature in swimming is discussed.

Abstract:

The Framing of Sacred Space offers the first topical study of canopies as essential spatial and symbolic units in Byzantine-rite churches. Centrally planned columnar structures—typically comprising four columns and a roof—canopies had a critical role in the modular and additive processes of church design, from actual church furnishings in the shape of a canopy, to the church’s structural core defined by four columns and a dome. As architectonic objects of basic structural and design integrity, canopies integrate an archetypical image of architecture and provide means for an innovative understanding of the materialization of the idea of the Byzantine church and its multifocal spatial presence. The book considers both the material and conceptual framing of sacred space and explains how the canopy bridges the physical and transcendental realms. As a crucial element of church design in the Byzantine world, a world that gradually abandoned the basilica as a typical building of Roman imperial secular architecture, the canopy carried tectonic and theological meanings and, through vaulted, canopied bays and recognizable Byzantine domed churches, established organic architectural, symbolic, and sacred ties between the Old and New Covenants. In such an overarching context, the canopy becomes an architectural parti, a vital concept and dynamic design principle that carries the essence of the Byzantine church. The Framing of Sacred Space highlights significant factors in understanding canopies through specific architectural settings and the Byzantine concepts of space, thus also contributing to larger debates about the creation of sacred space and related architectural “taxonomy.”

Abstract:

The technological realm provides an unusually active laboratory not only for new ideas and products but also for the remarkable linguistic innovations that accompany and describe them. How else would words like qubit (a unit of quantum information), crowdsourcing (outsourcing to the masses), or in vitro meat (chicken and beef grown in an industrial vat) enter our language? In Virtual Words: Language on the Edge of Science and Technology, Jonathon Keats, author of Wired Magazine's monthly Jargon Watch column, investigates the interplay between words and ideas in our fast-paced tech-driven use-it-or-lose-it society. In 28 illuminating short essays, Keats examines how such words get coined, what relationship they have to their subject matter, and why some, like blog, succeed while others, like flog, fail. Divided into broad categories--such as commentary, promotion, and slang, in addition to scientific and technological neologisms--chapters each consider one exemplary word, its definition, origin, context, and significance. Examples range from microbiome (the collective genome of all microbes hosted by the human body) and unparticle (a form of matter lacking definite mass) to gene foundry (a laboratory where artificial life forms are assembled) and singularity (a hypothetical future moment when technology transforms the whole universe into a sentient supercomputer). Together these words provide not only a survey of technological invention and its consequences, but also a fascinating glimpse of novel language as it comes into being. No one knows this emerging lexical terrain better than Jonathon Keats. In writing that is as inventive and engaging as the language it describes, Virtual Words offers endless delights for word-lovers, technophiles, and anyone intrigued by the essential human obsession with naming.

Abstract:

Following the creation of the United States, profound disagreements remained over how to secure the survival of the republic and unite its diverse population. In this pathbreaking account, Billy Coleman uses the history of American music to illuminate the relationship between elite power and the people from the early national period to the Civil War. Based on deep archival research in sources such as music periodicals, songbooks, and manuals for musical instruction, Coleman argues that a particular ideal of musical power provided conservative elites with an attractive road map for producing the harmonious union they desired. He reassesses the logic behind the decision to compose popular patriotic anthems like "The Star-Spangled Banner," reconsiders the purpose of early American campaign songs, and brings to life a host of often forgotten but fascinating musical organizations and individuals. The result is not only a striking interpretation of music in American political life but also a fresh understanding of conflicts that continue to animate American democracy.

Abstract:

A critical feature of canopies is their micro-architectural quality, which highlights the essence of design practices in Byzantine religious architecture. This chapter examines various canopies as columnar and vaulted installations and relates them to the meaning and form of the canopy as a basic spatial unit of the Byzantine church. Specific architectural solutions reveal the various spatial relations and meanings between different canopied installations. The analysis shows how altar canopies, for example, resulted from the complex circumstances of diverse liturgical needs, devotional practices, and movement-directing channels within a given church and may have originated from concepts related to funerary (funerary altars and tomb canopies), civic (tetrapyla and imperial canopies), and sacred architecture (shrines and sacrificial altars). Case studies include the shrines of Old St. Peter’s in Rome and early Christian churches in the Mediterranean, of St. Euphemia in Constantinople, St. Demetrios in Thessaloniki, and Blessed Loukas in Boeotia.
