Feeling Matters

Feeling Matters

As long as feelings are second-class citizens people will be second class citizens. Experience is an endangered species. An important function of psychotherapy is to make time for experiencing. Psychic taste buds really exist and rarely rest. They feed us each other gauge states of being states of spirit. We taste each other's feelings and intentions. An important aim of this book is to build psychic taste buds not put them down or pretend they don't exist. A positive feeling runs through this book a love of life an affirmation. Yet we discover many feel they do not have an impact. A sense of helplessness and impotence in face of awesome forces seems to be increasing. Health is a broad term with many dark threads. A creeping annihilating sense varies from pockets we try not to notice to soul murder that must be addressed. Yet individuals do try in their private struggles and in the larger social sphere. | Feeling Matters

Level Set Method in Medical Imaging Segmentation

Level Set Method in Medical Imaging Segmentation

Level set methods are numerical techniques which offer remarkably powerful tools for understanding analyzing and computing interface motion in a host of settings. When used for medical imaging analysis and segmentation the function assigns a label to each pixel or voxel and optimality is defined based on desired imaging properties. This often includes a detection step to extract specific objects via segmentation. This allows for the segmentation and analysis problem to be formulated and solved in a principled way based on well-established mathematical theories. Level set method is a great tool for modeling time varying medical images and enhancement of numerical computations. | Level Set Method in Medical Imaging Segmentation

Exploring Roguelike Games

Exploring Roguelike Games

Since 1980 in-the-know computer gamers have been enthralled by the unpredictable random and incredibly deep gameplay of Rogue and those games inspired by it known to fans as roguelikes. For decades this venerable genre was off the radar of most players and developers for a variety of reasons: deceptively simple graphics (often just text characters) high difficulty and their demand that a player brings more of themselves to the game than your typical AAA title asks. This book covers many of the most prominent titles and explains in great detail what makes them interesting the ways to get started playing them the history of the genre and more. It includes interviews playthroughs and hundreds of screenshots. It is a labor of love: if even a fraction of the author’s enthusiasm for these games gets through these pages to you then you will enjoy it a great deal. Key Features: Playing tips and strategy for newcomers to the genre Core roguelikes Rogue Angband NetHack Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup ADOM and Brogue The lost roguelikes Super Rogue and XRogue and the early RPG dnd for PLATO systems The Japanese console roguelikes Taloon’s Mystery Dungeon and Shiren the Wanderer Lesser-known but extremely interesting games like Larn DoomRL HyperRogue Incursion and Dungeon Hack Rogue-ish games that blur the edges of the genre including Spelunky HyperRogue ToeJam & Earl Defense of the Oasis Out There and Zelda Randomizer Interviews with such developers as Keith Burgun (100 Rogues and Auro) Rodain Joubert (Desktop Dungeons) Josh Ge (Cogmind) Dr. Thomas Biskup (ADOM) and Robin Bandy (devnull public NetHack tournament) An interview regarding Strange Adventures in Infinite Space Design issues of interest to developers and enthusiasts Author Bio: John Harris has bumped around the Internet for more than 20 years.
