Direct Nerve Stimulation for Induction of Sensation and Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain

Direct Nerve Stimulation for Induction of Sensation and Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain

The amputation of a limb is a surgical intervention used as a last resort to remove irreparably damaged diseased or congenitally malformed limbs where retention of the limb is a threat to the well-being of the individual. The procedure traumatically alters the body image but often leaves sensations that refer to the missing body part the phantom limb. In 50-80% of cases these sensations are perceived as painful and referred to as ‘Phantom Limb Pain’. Direct Nerve Stimulation for Induction of Sensation and Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain provides an overview of research experiences and results for the design development and test of hardware and software components and the ambition to safely implant and evaluate a novel neural interface system to combat phantom limb pain in an amputee volunteer subject.

Approaches to the Anglo and American Female Epic 1621-1982

Approaches to the Anglo and American Female Epic 1621-1982

Epic has long been regarded as the exclusive domain of the male literary genius and as an incarnation of patriarchal values. This provocative collection of essays challenges such a hegemonic stereotype by demonstrating the ways in which women writers have successfully adapted the masculine epic tradition to suit their own aesthetic needs and to express their own heroic literary social and historical visions. Bringing the female epic out of the shadows the contributors rethink generic boundaries to illuminate this heretofore hidden literary practice. The essays range from Mary Tighe to Rebecca West from Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Gwendolyn Brooks and from Frances Burney to Virginia Woolf. Bernard Schweizer's introduction titled 'Muses with Pens ' connects the trajectory of ideas and influences in the individual essays to demonstrate how each participates in reclaiming for women writers a place in the development of a female epic tradition. The volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars working on issues related to genre canon formation and the evolution of female literary authority. | Approaches to the Anglo and American Female Epic 1621-1982

The Epic of America

The Epic of America

There is a tradition of one-volume narrative histories of the United States in which the political military diplomatic social and economic strands are skillfully interwoven. Rather than add to these volumes The Epic of America paints a sweeping picture of the diverse past that has created America's national story. In this important narrative James Truslow Adams reviews how the ordinary American has matured over time in outlook character and opinion. Adams grew increasingly conscious of how different an American is now from the man or woman of any other advanced nation. He is equally interested in the whole of American history how it began and what it represented in the first half of the twentieth century. Adams traces the historical origins of the American concept of bigger and better attitudes toward business the American Dream and other characteristics generally considered typically American. Ever since America became an independent nation each generation has seen an uprising of its citizens to save the American Dream from forces seeking to overwhelm and dispel it. Possibly the greatest of these struggles is still ahead not a struggle of revolutionists against established order but of the ordinary person who seeks to hold fast to the rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This classic book is valuable for a new age and as important for this new century as it was when originally written.

The Kashmir Conflict From Empire to the Cold War 1945-66

The Kashmir Conflict From Empire to the Cold War 1945-66

This book presents a study of the international dimensions of the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan from before its outbreak in October 1947 until the Tashkent Summit in January 1966. By focusing on Kashmir’s under-researched transnational dimensions it represents a different approach to this intractable territorial conflict. Concentrating on the global context(s) in which the dispute unfolded it argues that the dispute’s evolution was determined by international concerns that existed from before and went beyond the Indian subcontinent. Based on new and diverse official and personal papers across four countries the book foregrounds the Kashmir dispute in a twin setting of Decolonisation and the Cold War and investigates the international understanding around it within the imperatives of these two processes. In doing so it traces Kashmir’s journey from being a residual irritant of the British Indian Empire to becoming a Commonwealth embarrassment and its eventual metamorphosis into a security concern in the Cold War climate(s). A princely state of exceptional geo-strategic location complex religious composition and unique significance in the context of Indian and Pakistani notions of nation and statehood Kashmir also complicated their relations with Britain the United States Soviet Union China the Commonwealth countries and the Afro-Arab-Asian world. This book is of interest to scholars in the field of Asian History Cold War History Decolonisation and South Asian Studies. | The Kashmir Conflict From Empire to the Cold War 1945-66

Greek Myth and the Bible

Greek Myth and the Bible

Since the nineteenth-century rediscovery of the Gilgamesh epic we have known that the Bible imports narratives from outside of Israelite culture refiguring them for its own audience. Only more recently however has come the realization that Greek culture is also a prominent source of biblical narratives. Greek Myth and the Bible argues that classical mythological literature and the biblical texts were composed in a dialogic relationship. Louden examines a variety of Greek myths from a range of sources analyzing parallels between biblical episodes and Hesiod Euripides Argonautic myth selections from Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Homeric epic. This fascinating volume offers a starting point for debate and discussion of these cultural and literary exchanges and adaptations in the wider Mediterranean world and will be an invaluable resource to students of the Hebrew Bible and the influence of Greek myth.

Pathologies of Body Self and Space A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychiatry

Pathologies of Body Self and Space A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychiatry

What happens when the physical body and the subjective sense of self part company? How do we explain phantom limbs and alien abduction? What are the cognitive neurobiological mechanisms that support such phenomena? In this special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Spence and Halligan explore all these issues and more with contributions drawn from an internationally renowned panel of authors most of whom contributed to a symposium held in Sheffield England in June 2001 ('The Neuropsychiatry of the Body in Space'). That meeting was primarily concerned with those bizarre and disturbing syndromes that arise when 'body' and 'self' soma and psyche are dissociated from each other within or beyond the body's surface. Some disorders constrain the space of the body (as in neglect and dissociation syndromes) others seem to extend the boundaries (as with phantom limbs and autoscopy). Still others suggest a permeability of those boundaries (as in alien control and thought insertion each occurring in schizophrenia). Finally the body may itself be perceived as having passed into space the most extreme exemplar being 'alien abduction'. Each paper contains a description of disturbed phenomenology and an account and critique of current cognitive neuropsychiatric findings. | Pathologies of Body Self and Space A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychiatry

Titanic Corrosion

Titanic Corrosion

The word “titanic” reminds one of the majestic ship Titanic and James Cameron’s epic romance movie Titanic—in many cases the film first and the ship next. The Titanic was the world’s largest passenger ship when it entered service measuring 269 m (882 feet) in length and the largest man-made moving object on earth. The colossal ship and the epic movie inspired the authors Susai Rajendran (professor of chemistry) and Gurmeet Singh (a renowned academic administrator and an internationally reputed expert in the field of corrosion science and smart materials) to study why the Titanic collapsed. The main reason seems to be bimetallic corrosion also known as galvanic corrosion. This book discusses various aspects of galvanic corrosion namely causes consequences methods of control and case studies. It also reports research on the causes of corrosion of the sunken ship including microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and metallurgical failure. The book is a great reference for research scholars in the field of corrosion graduate- and postgraduate-level students the general public and marine engineers. | Titanic Corrosion
