Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study eschews the uncritical acceptance of secondary sources that has characterized studies in this field, going back to and reinterpreting previously neglected primary sources, thereby enabling it to chart linkages between the European and Asian trades that have been regarded as parallel but unrelated (or at best competing) activities. In so doing, the work sheds new light on this crucial period.
Download or read book Rehabilitation and Treatment of Head and Neck Cancer written by Eugene N. Myers and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is the result of a workshop entitled "Head and Neck Cancer : Integration of Treatment and Rehabilitation," which was held in January 1984 and sponsored by the National Cancer Institute. The purpose of the workshop was to review past research directions focused on head and neck cancer and set new goals where appropriate. As discussed at the meeting, the goal of integrating treatment and rehabilitation is to prevent or minimize the physical (cosmetic or functional) disability and the emotional sequelae commonly associated with head and neck cancer and its treatment. The meeting afforded an opportunity for a diverse group of professionals to exchange ideas and information on effective and desirable methods of treatment and rehabilitation for head and neck cancer patients. Papers were presented and discussions were held with the aim of identifying and resolving some of the problems faced by those who make treatment decisions and provide care for these patients. This workshop highlighted the need for an integration of multi-disciplinary rehabilitation planning at the time of initial treatment for head and neck cancer. It also demonstrated major deficiencies in objective outcome measures used to assess physiological and social function over and above the usual measures of patient survival. Centers which provide multidisciplinary patient management programs and follow adequate patient populations, thus assuring management proficiency, provide the best means of avoiding many of the pitfalls that threaten patients who are managed by a single physician and exposed sequentially to other disciplines only when problems develop. Few other cancers demonstrate the need for anticipatory treatment and rehabilitation to the magnitude required in the management of head and neck cancer.

Download or read book Recent Advances In Circuits And Systems written by Nikos E Mastorakis and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1998-10-12 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent Advances in Circuits and Systems brings you a balanced, state-of-the-art presentation of the latest concepts, methods, algorithms, techniques, procedures and applications of the fascinating field of Circuits and Systems. Written by eminent, leading, international experts, the contributors provide up-to-date aspects of topics discussed and present fresh, original insights into their own experience with Circuits and Systems.The main aim of this book is to present most of the new trends and recent advances of the impressive evolution in the discipline of circuits and systems. Special emphasis is given in the interaction between the classic areas of systems theory (feedback control, circuits design, electronics, etc) and the modern techniques of computational intelligence (neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic and expert systems) since this fertile interaction promises to open up new horizons in circuits and systems theory.This book is composed of four parts. Part I is devoted to Circuits and Electronics and also includes Power Systems. Part II refers to Systems Theory and Control (H infinity problems, feedback control, non-linear systems, robust stability and robust control, multivariable systems, hybrid systems and hydraulic systems). Part III presents the latest developments in the Robotics (theory and applications) while Part IV is devoted to Computational Intelligence in Systems Theory.

Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Decolonizing Art Craft and Visual Culture Education written by Manisha Sharma and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This companion demonstrates how art, craft, and visual culture education activate social imagination and action that is equity- and justice-driven. Specifically, this book provides arts-engaged, intersectional understandings of decolonization in the contemporary art world that cross disciplinary lines. Visual and traditional essays in this book combine current scholarship with pragmatic strategies and insights grounded in the reality of socio-cultural, political, and economic communities across the globe. Across three sections (creative shorts, enacted encounters, and ruminative research), a diverse group of authors address themes of histories, space and land, mind and body, and the digital realm. Chapters highlight and illustrate how artists, educators, and researchers grapple with decolonial methods, theories, and strategies—in research, artmaking, and pedagogical practice. Each chapter includes discursive questions and resources for further engagement with the topics at hand. The book is targeted towards scholars and practitioners of art education, studio art, and art history, K-12 art teachers, as well as artist educators and teaching artists in museums and communities.

Download or read book Empire of Tea written by Markman Ellis and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although tea had been known and consumed in China and Japan for centuries, it was only in the seventeenth century that Londoners first began drinking it. Over the next two hundred years, its stimulating properties seduced all of British society, as tea found its way into cottages and castles alike. One of the first truly global commodities and now the world’s most popular drink, tea has also, today, come to epitomize British culture and identity. This impressively detailed book offers a rich cultural history of tea, from its ancient origins in China to its spread around the world. The authors recount tea’s arrival in London and follow its increasing salability and import via the East India Company throughout the eighteenth century, inaugurating the first regular exchange—both commercial and cultural—between China and Britain. They look at European scientists’ struggles to understand tea’s history and medicinal properties, and they recount the ways its delicate flavor and exotic preparation have enchanted poets and artists. Exploring everything from its everyday use in social settings to the political and economic controversies it has stirred—such as the Boston Tea Party and the First Opium War—they offer a multilayered look at what was ultimately an imperial industry, a collusion—and often clash—between the world’s greatest powers over control of a simple beverage that has become an enduring pastime.
