Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From James Dean to Jared Leto, only one acting style has entered the lexicon of the casual moviegoer: "Method acting." In this manuscript, Justin Rawlins offers the first reception-based analysis of acting, investigating how the concept of "the Method" entered popular film discourse and became part of the establishment of a "serious actor" brand--one reserved for white, male actors and yet associated with rebellion and marginalization. Drawing on extensive archival research, Rawlins traces the construction of mainstream understandings of Method acting, using well-known actors and Hollywood figures (e.g., Marlon Brando, Hedda Hopper, and James Dean) while also bringing forgotten names to the fore"--

Download or read book Re imagining the Research Process written by Mats Alvesson and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a unique solution to the shortage of more imaginative and engaging research by re-imagining the core elements of the research process. In contrast to existing methods, which mainly focus on standard ingredients in the research process, the metaphorical approach taken here offers a more varied and comprehensive platform for producing novel, influential and relevant research. The set of guiding principles suggested in the book provides researchers with the resources to break away from existing conventions and templates for conducting and writing research. Re-imagining the Research Process: Conventional and Alternative Metaphors is suitable for upper-undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers interested in challenging traditional views of the research process. Mats Alvesson holds a chair in the Business Administration department at Lund University in Sweden and is also a part-time professor at University of Queensland Business School, Australia and at Cass Business School, UK. Jorgen Sandberg is Professor at UQ Business School, University of Queensland, Australia, and Distinguished Research Environment Professor in Organization Studies at the Warwick Business School, UK.

Download or read book Fourier Methods in Imaging written by Roger L. Easton Jr. and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 1005 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourier Methods in Imaging introduces the mathematical tools for modeling linear imaging systems to predict the action of the system or for solving for the input. The chapters are grouped into five sections, the first introduces the imaging “tasks” (direct, inverse, and system analysis), the basic concepts of linear algebra for vectors and functions, including complex-valued vectors, and inner products of vectors and functions. The second section defines "special" functions, mathematical operations, and transformations that are useful for describing imaging systems. Among these are the Fourier transforms of 1-D and 2-D function, and the Hankel and Radon transforms. This section also considers approximations of the Fourier transform. The third and fourth sections examine the discrete Fourier transform and the description of imaging systems as linear "filters", including the inverse, matched, Wiener and Wiener-Helstrom filters. The final section examines applications of linear system models to optical imaging systems, including holography. Provides a unified mathematical description of imaging systems. Develops a consistent mathematical formalism for characterizing imaging systems. Helps the reader develop an intuitive grasp of the most common mathematical methods, useful for describing the action of general linear systems on signals of one or more spatial dimensions. Offers parallel descriptions of continuous and discrete cases. Includes many graphical and pictorial examples to illustrate the concepts. This book helps students develop an understanding of mathematical tools for describing general one- and two-dimensional linear imaging systems, and will also serve as a reference for engineers and scientists
Download or read book You re Imagining Things written by A. Carver and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THOSE WHO LOOK WITHIN... Discover: How to bridge the divide between "wanting something" and actually ACTING on your desire with effortless intensity What do you want out of life, and why don't you have it? Really, why don't you? Chances are, it's because you are your own greatest enemy. If most people in the world could just get out of their own way, they'd have everything they wanted and more. Our greatest limiting factors always come from within. They are solved and dissolved from within as well. And when those limiting factors are replaced with a limitless mindset? That's when you're really cooking with gasoline. The paradigm-shift begins with imagining things. As the great writer George Bernard Shaw once put it: "Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire; you will what you imagine; and at last you create what you will." As you'll soon learn from this book, that statement is much more literal-and dare I say, "mystical"-than the vast majority of people ever realize. That's why in You're Imagining Things, you'll be led down a fast-paced and amusing rabbit hole of supernatural discovery. Sparks will fly off the pages as you zig-zag back and forth between the esoteric and the obvious-all leading up to a thrilling revelation on the extrasensory wish-granting mechanism hidden deep within your subconscious mind. Mental imagery "magic" is the key to accessing that mechanism, and once you've realized the possibilities of this metaphysical "technology," things will never be the same. This book will redefine your ideas on desire, achievement, and reality at large. It will shatter your misconceptions of the impossible and leave you with a new outlook on life.
Download or read book About Method written by Jutta Schickore and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists’ views on what makes an experiment successful have developed dramatically throughout history. Different criteria for proper experimentation were privileged at different times, entirely new criteria for securing experimental results emerged, and the meaning of commitment to experimentation altered. In About Method, Schickore captures this complex trajectory of change from 1660 to the twentieth century through the history of snake venom research. As experiments with poisonous snakes and venom were both challenging and controversial, the experimenters produced very detailed accounts of their investigations, which go back three hundred years—making venom research uniquely suited for such a long-term study. By analyzing key episodes in the transformation of venom research, Schickore is able to draw out the factors that have shaped methods discourse in science. About Method shows that methodological advancement throughout history has not been simply a steady progression toward better, more sophisticated and improved methodologies of experimentation. Rather, it was a progression in awareness of the obstacles and limitations that scientists face in developing strategies to probe the myriad unknown complexities of nature. The first long-term history of this development and of snake venom research, About Method offers a major contribution to integrated history and philosophy of science.
Download or read book Innovative Ultrasound Imaging Techniques written by S. Lori Bridal and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an understanding of ultrasound imaging principles and how the field is evolving to better probe living systems. Today, widely-used imaging systems visualize structures and blood flow within the body in real-time. Signal analysis, hardware and contrast agent innovations are extending the capacity of ultrasound to assess tissue elasticity, to enable three-dimensional viewing of moving structures and to detect vessels smaller than the wavelength-limited resolution. Techniques are also being designed so that we are less impeded by bones in the sound path, as well as to combine light and sound to detect optically-absorbent structures within the body. After an introductory chapter reviewing the key basic concepts, each chapter presents a detailed explanation focusing on a specific set of key principles and then shows the related techniques in each domain that are currently being refined to evaluate living systems in greater depth.
