Proteus Unbound【電子書籍】[ Charles Sheffield ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>There were problems with the Form Change process. One or two malfunctions at first: people emerging from the tanks in an incorrect form or completely unchanged.</p> <p>For three years it had been getting worse. Now there had been deaths, and on the Space Farms panic was setting in. People were refusing to go into the tanks. Yet out in the Cloudlands, they <em>needed</em> continuous small form corrections just to stay effective. As the faults increased, their society was on an exponential curve to disaster.</p> <p>Behrooz Wolf, down in the Inner System, was sent for. But far gone in despair, he was in no state to help. He himself was going mad. Like a hallucination, the Dancing Man would come capering across his field of vision. Dressed in skin-tight scarlet, he danced up to him, mouthing gibberish, then skipping backwards, tantalisingly, out of sight.</p> <p>While, hidden in the Kernel Ring, Black Ransone bided his time, waiting for the disintegration of the empires, waiting to inherit the universe.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 562円

Ecocriticism and the Poiesis of Form Holding on to Proteus【電子書籍】[ Aaron Moe ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Ecocriticism and the Poiesis of Form: Holding on to Proteus demonstrates how a fractal imagination helps one hold the form of a poem within the reaches of Deep Time, and it explores the kinship between the hazy, liminal moment when Sound becomes Syllable and the hazy, liminal moment when the sage energy of the Atom made a leap toward the <em>gaze of the first cell</em>, to echo Merwin. Moe distills his methodology as follows: "My <em>work</em>?ーI point," asserted the aphorism. "That’s what I do." To point, the project integrates a wide range of interdisciplinary ideasーincluding biosemiotics, fractals, <em>phi</em>, trauma theory, the Mandelbrot Set, hyperobjects, meditative chants, Goethe’s morphology, Ramanujan’s summation, a spiderweb’s sonic properties, and Thoreau’s sense of the plant-like burgeoning force of an Atomーin order to open up multiple trajectories. In this context, the volume foregrounds the insights of poets/storytellers including Hillman, Snyder, Anzald?a, EEC, okpik, Whitman, Dickinson, Gladding, Melville, Morrison, and Toomer, for they are most attentive to that liminal moment when the vibratory hum in language, and in the cosmos, turns kinetic. As this volume draws on a wide range of writers from many backgrounds, it allows the myriad voices to engage with one another across differences in race, gender, and ethnicity. These writers show us how, to echo Dickinson, the "Freight / Of a delivered Syllable - " can split and how the energy unleashed came from, and points us back toward, the energy (un)making the forms of Gaia.The starting point for discussing the energy of a poem can no longer begin with the human; rather, <em>Holding on</em> explores how the poem’s energy is but a sliver of a hyperobject "massively distributed" throughout the cosmosーa sage energy that brings forth form.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 10,612円

<p><strong>Frank Compton must join forces with his most feared enemies to defeat an ancient civilizations-devouring malevolence in the final installment of Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn's Quadrail series</strong><br /> A dozen sentient species occupy the galaxy, and the Quadrail connects them all. Arriving at Proteus Station under a cloud of suspicion, ex-government agent Frank Compton finds he must answer for the death of six members of the Filly elite, a crime for which he has been falsely accused. Filiaelian captivity, however, is the least of Compton's worries, for his horse-faced alien accusers are guarding a terrible secret that dates back centuries: the Shonkla-raa, a race of super-soldiers believed to be extinct.</p> <p>Invincible fighters bred for conquest and dedicated to the destruction of the Quadrail, as well as the annihilation of the unsuspecting billions who oppose them, the Shonkla-raa must be stopped at all cost. But to do so, Compton and his beautiful, enigmatic half-human partner, Bayta, will have to ally themselves with the insidious, mind-enslaving Mohdri, the malevolent group intelligence they have sworn to destroy.</p> <p>Hugo Award winner Timothy Zahn concludes his sensational Quadrail series with a riveting futuristic adventure that combines the best of three popular genresーhard science fiction, mystery, and espionage thriller. <em>Judgment at Proteus</em> is a breathtaking tale of deception, murder, and desperate maneuverings in a secret war that threatens the survival of every living being in the galaxy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 10円

Proteus: The Future of Intelligence【電子書籍】[ Vernon Lee ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>There seems not to exist a wordーfor words are old while meanings may be newーwhich answers exactly to what I shall speak of as Intelligence. But space being short for what has to be said, I will not waste any in preliminary definitions. That which I mean by Intelligence will become evident by what I expect from its presence and attribute to its absence. I start from the assumption that it already exists, however insufficiently; and I deduce from what it has done that its nature is to intensify and extend. Whether this will be witnessed in the near future, or whether it may be checked by adverse circumstances, is no concern of mine. Writers of this series, and several others besides, have enlarged on the political and economic contingencies to which Intelligence, or persons presumed to have it, seem likely to be exposed. Whether Intelligence may become the weapon of a dominant caste, as was the hope of Comte, of Renan, and, at one moment, of Mr. H. G. Wells; or whether, as proposed by M. Charles Maurras, Intelligence shall be honoured with a subordinate function in some sort of Fascist State, I am inadequate to judge. Nor do I even feel certain that history has shown, or economic theory demonstrated, that Intelligence can be bullied or starved out of existence. Meanwhile let me confess that what I have to say about the Future of Intelligence is the expression as much of my hopes as of my convictions, both, however, arising from a longish experience of changes already brought about, and changes beginning to be brought about, by the particular, and perhaps rather modern, something I mean by Intelligence. What I mean, and what, under restriction to that meaning, appears to me likely or desirable. By underlining these personal pronouns, I am able to forestall the mention of one great change which Intelligence is already initiating, namely, the recognition and avowal that what one thinks (as distinguished from what primers, manuals and other authorities have taught one to believe) isーwell, just what one does think, and neither the consensus of human opinion nor the revelation of the Deity’s irrefragable truth. Returning to the word Intelligence, the meaning I attach to it will become sooner obvious by clearing away some misconceptions thereof which may occur to my reader. And first: The Intelligence whose future interests me is not the same thing as the Intelligentsia. Those of us who belong to that class presumably possess Intelligence, since we live, or try to live, by its exercise. But it is no monopoly of ours, nor do we always employ it in the manner which answers to my meaning. For living on or by its employment may, as is often seen among men of science and philosophers, result in their capital of natural Intelligence being sunk in a few enterprises of especial value, leaving them, as in the notorious case of Dr. Faust, but a scanty balance for current use and pleasure. I have brought in the word pleasure because the pleasantness of its varied exercise is one of the chief characteristics of what I mean by Intelligence, fostering that nimbleness, elasticity, hence also pervasiveness, which makes it a chief factor of human progress, as well as one of progressive mankind’s indisputable marks and unalienable rewards. Now these same pleasant properties, so often sacrificed by very studious persons, turn Intelligence into the stock-in-trade (eked out with plentiful surrogates) of that other branch of the Intelligentsia, those who make a livelihood by living down to their readers, relieving their boredom, lapping their thick skins in sentimentality, and keeping up the sooty flame of their collective passions; for alas, the Man of Letters is tempted to serve his public not merely as an unconsidered jester but as a respected moral guide.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,200円

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Proteus【電子書籍】[ Alan Ebringer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Rheumatoid Arthritis and Proteus explores the idea that Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a urinary tract infection as a result of Proteus bacteria. Rheumatoid arthritis is a severe, painful and crippling disease affecting millions of people throughout the world, especially women. Genetic studies over the last 30 years have shown that individuals who possess the white cell blood groups HLA-DR1/4 carry a susceptibility sequence and are more likely to develop the disease. This book uses the methods of Sir Karl Popper, the philosopher of science, to present 12 “Popper sequences” which have been identified to indicate that Proteus is the causative agent of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis and Proteus proposes that Anti-Proteus therapies should be followed as early as possible to prevent the crippling and irreversible joint deformities that occur in Rheumatoid Arthritis.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 12,154円

Elephant Man Disease, (Proteus Syndrome) A Simple Guide To The Condition, Diagnosis, Treatment And Related Conditions【電子書籍】[ Kenneth Kee ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book describes Elephant Man Disease, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases</p> <p>Elephant Man Disease is a rare disorder featured by overgrowth of different tissues of the body.<br /> The cause of the disorder is a mosaic difference in a gene called AKT1.<br /> Conflicting asymmetric overgrowth happens in a mosaic pattern (i.e., a random "patchy" pattern of affected and unaffected areas).<br /> Affected persons may have a wide variety of complications that may be:</p> <ol> <li>Progressive skeletal malformations,</li> <li>Benign and malignant tumors,</li> <li>Malformations of blood vessels (vascular malformations),</li> <li>Bullous pulmonary disease, and</li> <li>Certain skin lesions.<br /> In some patients, life-threatening disorders linked to abnormal blood clotting may form such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.</li> </ol> <p>Causes<br /> Proteus syndrome is produced by an alteration in a growth regulatory gene called AKT1 that happens after fertilization of the embryo<br /> Affected patients have some cells with a normal copy of this regulatory gene and some cells with the abnormal gene (mosaic).<br /> The inconsistency of symptoms linked with Proteus is because of the ratio of healthy cells to abnormal cells.</p> <p>Symptoms<br /> Proteus syndrome can affect bone and connective tissue, fatty tissues, skin, central nervous system and viscera (internal organs).<br /> The specific symptoms and severity differs greatly from patient to patient.<br /> In some patients, involved patients may show only a few, mild symptoms of Proteus syndrome, making diagnosis very hard.<br /> Most affected patients are born without any noticeable symptoms.<br /> Some patients may have brain overgrowth that is evident at birth.<br /> Overgrowth normally begins between 6-18 months.<br /> The specific affected areas of the body differ greatly from patient to patient.<br /> Bone, connective tissue and fat are the most often affected tissues in the body.<br /> Overgrowth linked with Proteus syndrome is not regular, not proportionate<br /> It may involve one side of the body such as only one foot and not the other (asymmetric).<br /> Overgrowth of bone (hyperostosis) may happen involving the skull, the long bones of the arms and legs, and the feet and hands.<br /> Overgrowth in Proteus syndrome is normally severe and usually deforms bones to the point that they are not recognizable.<br /> Patients with Proteus syndrome may be at danger for forming blood clots in the legs a disorder known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT).<br /> The legs may become painful and enlarged and blood vessels in the legs may be visibly swollen.<br /> In some, a piece of a DVT blood clot may break off and move up the bloodstream toward the lungs, where it may produce a pulmonary embolism. (PE)<br /> Patients with these abnormalities may also have distinct facial features such as:</p> <ol> <li>A long face,</li> <li>Downward slanting eyelid folds (palpebral fissures),</li> <li>Droopy eyelids (ptosis),</li> <li>Low bridge of the nose,</li> <li>Wide nostrils (nares), and</li> <li>A long narrow head (dolichocephaly).</li> </ol> <p>Diagnosis<br /> Diagnosis of Proteus syndrome is made using medical diagnostic criteria and molecular testing.<br /> The gene abnormality is not often present in the blood and therefore DNA diagnostic testing must normally be done on biopsies of affected tissues</p> <p>Treatment<br /> The treatment of Proteus is focused toward the specific symptoms that are obvious in each patient.<br /> Multiple orthopedic procedures are normally required to try and control the rapid overgrowth linked with Proteus syndrome.<br /> Surgery may be indispensable when overgrowth disrupts joint function or induces scoliosis or angular deformities.<br /> Surgery to decrease overgrown tissues or body parts may be indicated.<br /> When going through surgery, affected patients should be considered for prevention to avoid blood clots.</p> <p>TABLE OF CONTENT<br /> Introduction<br /> Chapter 1 Elephant Man Disease<br /> Chapter 2 Causes<br /> Chapter 3 Symptoms<br /> Chapter 4 Diagnosis<br /> Chapter 5 Treatment<br /> Chapter 6 Prognosis<br /> Chapter 7 Neurofibromatosis<br /> Chapter 8 Lipoma<br /> Epilogue</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 332円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<DIV>Proteus, the mythical sea god who could alter his appearance at will, embodies one of the promises of online games: the ability to reinvent oneself. Yet inhabitants of virtual worlds rarely achieve this liberty, game researcher Nick Yee contends. Though online games evoke?freedom and escapism, Yee shows that virtual spaces perpetuate social norms and stereotypes from the offline world, transform play into labor, and inspire racial scapegoating and superstitious thinking. And the change that does occur is often out of our control and effected by unparalleledーbut rarely recognizedーtools for controlling what players think and how they behave.</DIV><div>?</DIV>Using player surveys, psychological experiments, and in-game data, Yee breaks down misconceptions about who plays fantasy games and the extent to which the online and offline worlds operate separately. With a wealth of entertaining and provocative examples, he explains what virtual worlds are about and why they matter, not only for entertainment but also for business and education. He uses gaming as a lens through which to examine the pressing question of what it means to be human in a digital world. His thought-provoking book is an invitation to think more deeply about virtual worlds and what they reveal to us about ourselves. <div>?</DIV>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,715円
