Cognition and visual information: an examination of human evolution, cognitive models and my artistic practice
No full textAn examination of my cross-disciplinary artistic practice that attempts to bring together Asian meditative disciplines with Western inquiry through visualizing social and physical statistics. As I explore the relationship between language and sensation, I use Charles Pierce's three referential modes: the iconic, indexical and symbol-symbol to view how humanity as come to understand the world through images, objects and rituals. Paralleling this investigation is a systems theory that attempts to visualize the fluidity of a non-discrete universe where social interaction correlates with the physical world.M.F.A.Includes bibliographical references (p. 39-42)by Brian J Bulfe
Public Perceptions of Genetically Modified Foods: Americans Know Not What They Eat
No full textBiotechnology stands to be a defining technology in the future of food and agriculture. Proponents argue that science and industry are poised to bring consumers a wide variety of products that have potential for meeting basic food needs, as well as delivering a wide-range of health, environmental and economic benefits. Opponents counter that the potential exists for unintended consequences, ranging from ecological disruption to adverse human health implications, and that these risks are not fully understood. Fundamental questions exist, however, regarding the general public’s position on food products derived with the use of biotechnology. To address these questions, the Food Policy Institute addressed consumers using computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI) system, a public phone survey of a sample selection of 1203 U.S. residents was administered between March and April 2001. The questionnaire was developed to address perceived gaps in the current literature on American consumer awareness, acceptance, and perceptions of food biotechnology and to serve as the basis for a set of longitudinal studies that will be able to track public opinion over time.Food Policy Institute Publication Number RR-0302-001
Micro- and nanoscale fluid mechanics : transport in microfluidic devices / Brian J. Kirby.
No full textengineering bookfair2015Includes bibliographical references and index.xxiii, 512 pages :"Intended for graduate and undergraduate students and as a reference for practicing researchers, this text focuses on the physics of fluid transport in micro- and nanofabricated systems"--Provided by publisher."This text focuses on the physics of fluid transport in micro- and nanofabricated liquid-phase systems, with consideration of gas bubbles, solid particles, and macromolecules. This text was designed with the goal of bringing together several areas that are often taught separately - namely, fluid mechanics, electrodynamics, and interfacial chemistry and electrochemistry - with a focused goal of preparing the modern microfluidics researcher to analyze and model continuum fluid mechanical systems encountered when working with micro- and nanofabricated devices. This text is not a summary of current research in the field, and it omits any discussion of microfabrication techniques or any attempt to summarize the technological state of the art. This text serves as a useful reference for practicing researchers but is designed primarily for classroom instruction. Worked sample problems are inserted throughout to assist the student, and exercises are included at the end of each chapter to facilitate use in classes"--Provided by publisher

Macroecology and meiobenthos: Reply to Warwick (2014)
No full textWarwick (2014; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 505:295-298) suggests that my claim that the biology of marine metazoan benthos may scale continuously with body mass (Bett 2013; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 487:1-6) is an overstatement. His alternative hypothesis is that there is a ‘step-change’ in allometric relationships between the meio- and macrobenthos. I continue to propose that simple null hypotheses for standing stock size spectra and species size spectra of the metazoan benthos, consistent with metabolic theory and macroecology, offer parsimonious solutions. For standing stock and species size spectra I present field data that conform to these null hypotheses. Data from other studies, such as those suggested by Warwick (2014), may be difficult to place in the macroecological context, as those studies are constructed or presented in a different manner (e.g. they lack data on the number of individuals identified). I suggest that it may be useful to consider ‘evolutionary species size spectra’ separately from ‘macroecological species size spectra’. Both are valid testable hypotheses, and are not necessarily contradictory
