Explore the theory and practice of designing and writing serverless
applications using examples from the Knative project. With this
practical guide, mid-level to senior application developers and
team managers will learn when and why to target serverless
platforms when developing microservices or applications. Along the
way, you'll also discover warning signs that suggest why serverless
might cause you more trouble than joy. Drawing on author Evan
Anderson's 15 years of experience developing and maintaining
applications in the cloud—and more than six years of experience
with serverless platforms at scale—this book acts as your guide
into the high-velocity world of serverless application development.
You'll come to appreciate why Knative is the most widely adopted
open source serverless platform available. With this book, you
will: Learn what serverless is, how it works, and why teams are
adopting it Understand the benefits of Knative for cloud native
development teams Learn how to build a serverless application on
Knative Explore the challenges serverless introduces for debugging
and the tools that can help improve it Learn why event-driven
architecture and serverless compute are complementary but distinct
Understand when a serverless approach might not be the right system
design
This volume examines a multitude of characters in Matthew's gospel
and provides an in-depth look at the different approaches currently
employed by scholars working with literary and reader-oriented
methods. Beginning with an introduction on 'the properties of
character' and the several aspects involved in the creation of
person, the contributors provide a close reading of numerous
characters and character types in the Gospel of Matthew. Including
Mary, King Herod, John the Baptist, Jesus the Preacher, Jesus the
Teacher, God the Father, the Roman Centurion, Peter, Women,
Gentiles, Scribes and Pharisees, and Romans. Such close studies aid
the understanding of different issues in Matthean characterization,
while also charting the development of hermeneutical vistas that
have developed in contemporary scholarship, resulting in a
collection of exegetical character studies that are
self-consciously working from a literary, narrative-critical,
reader-oriented, or related methodology.
Oxytocin (OT), a hormone with a well-known function in childbirth,
breast milk secretion, formation of the mother-infant bonding
process and social empathy, has recently been revisited from a
systemic perspective to uncover possible links with or etiological
characteristics of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Chapter
one aims to provide an overview of the association of OT and its
genetic polymorphisms with the most prevalent NCDs in the world
population, seeking to integrate it to the thrifty phenotype
hypothesis throughout the ontogenetic process. Chapter two examines
the experimental evidence accumulated over the last few decades
which indicates that oxytocin can play a beneficial role in
cardiovascular control. Chapter three studies recent evidence that
demonstrates intranasal inhalation of oxytocin improves
face-processing. The final chapter contributes to a better
understanding of the mechanisms involved in the age-related changes
in body composition, sexual, and feeding behavior, in which
oxytocin and cortisol probably play a relevant role.
