Frank, conversational and suffused with a dry humour, this book is a record of poet and novelist Lieke Marsman's diagnosis, events and thoughts of having bone cancer. An energising mix of prose and lyric, the poems offer readings of both the writer and her environment. Translated by poet Sophie Collins.

The various dimensions of translation studies, too often studied independently, are here brought into conversation: Translation practice, including the various crafts employed by its practitioners; the specialized contexts in which translation occurs or against which translation can be considered; and the ethico-political consequences of translations or the manner of their making. Including exciting new work from leading translation theorists, practicing literary translators, and prominent thinkers from adjoining disciplines such as psychoanalysis and neuroscience, the essays gathered here demonstrate many rich areas of overlap, with translation pedagogy, the fundamental nature of translation, the translator's creativity, retranslation, canon formation, and the geopolitical stakes of literary translation among them.

If people were evil, and I wished to be good, then I had to�make sure that I was the opposite of a person.

This book explores the challenges involved in handling medical big data in the diagnosis of neurological disorders. It discusses how to optimally reduce the number of neuropsychological tests during the classification of these disorders by using feature selection methods based on the diagnostic information of enrolled subjects. The book includes key definitions/models and covers their applications in different types of signal/image processing for neurological disorder data. An extensive discussion on the possibility of enhancing the abilities of AI systems using the different data analysis is included. The book recollects several applicable basic preliminaries of the different AI networks and models, while also highlighting basic processes in image processing for various neurological disorders. It also reports on several applications to image processing and explores numerous topics concerning the role of big data analysis in addressing signal and image processing in various real-world scenarios involving neurological disorders. This cutting-edge book highlights the analysis of medical data, together with novel procedures and challenges for handling neurological signals and images. It will help engineers, researchers and software developers to understand the concepts and different models of AI and data analysis. To help readers gain a comprehensive grasp of the subject, it focuses on three key features: ● Presents outstanding concepts and models for using AI in clinical applications involving neurological disorders, with clear descriptions of image representation, feature extraction and selection. ● Highlights a range of techniques for evaluating the performance of proposed CAD systems for the diagnosis of neurological disorders. ● Examines various signal and image processing methods for efficient decision support systems. Soft computing, machine learning and optimization algorithms are also included to improve the CAD systems used.

From hand-held, dedicated units to software that turns PCs and Palm Pilots into powerful diagnostic scanners, auto enthusiasts today have a variety of methods available to make use of on-board diagnostic systems. And not only can they be used to diagnose operational faults, they can be used as low-budget data acquistion systems and dynamometers, so you can maximize your vehicle's performance. Beginning with why scanners are needed to work effectively on modern cars, this book teaches you how to choose the right scanner for your application, how to use the tool, and what each code means. "How To Use Automotive Diagnostic Scanners" is illustrated with photos and diagrams to help you understand OBD-I and OBD-II systems (including CAN) and the scanners that read the information they record. Also included is a comprehensive list of codes and what they mean. From catalytic converters and O2 sensors to emissions and automotive detective work, this is the complete reference for keeping your vehicle EPA-compliant and on the road!

In this collection of 15 essays, educators describe successful programs they've developed to fulfill the US National Science Education Standards' vision for the reform of teaching assessment, professional development, and content at the high school level. All the visions correspond with the Less Emphasis and More Emphasis conditions that conclude each section of the Standards, characterizing what most teachers and programs should do less of as well as describing the changes needed if real reform is to occur. Essay titles reveal the range of programs, and creativity, this book encompasses. Among the titles are: "Technology and Cooperative Learning: The IIT Model for Teaching Authentic Chemistry Curriculum," "Modeling: Changes in Traditional Physics Instruction," "Guided by the Standards: Inquiry and Assessment in Two Rural and Urban Schools," and even "Sing and Dance Your Way to Science Success." The book ends with a summary chapter by editor Robert Yager on successes and continuing challenges in meeting the Standards' visions for improving high school science. As Yager notes, "The exemplary programs described in this monograph give inspiration while also providing evidence that the new directions are feasible and worth the energy and effort needed for others to implement changes.
