Chakaia Booker: The Observance accompanies the first comprehensive
museum survey of the American artist. The publication explores the
artist's signature form-monumental works made of rubber-while
showcasing her innovations across mediums. Featuring an expansive
range of Booker's sculptures, including totemic and anthropomorphic
assemblages fabricated from cast-off tires, the volume highlights
Booker's ongoing expression of ecological and technological
concerns, examinations of racial and economic disparities, and her
interest in the symbolism of the automobile in American culture.
The exhibition and accompanying publication Chakaia Booker: The
Observance include some of Booker's most topical works, including
Chu Ching (2012), which depicts a cross on a wheelbarrow resembling
Jesus being dismounted from the cross, as well as two rarely seen
series of paintings that explore landscape and language. The
artist's photographic series, Foundling Warrior Quest (2010) and
Graveyard Series (1995), are also featured to explore the
importance of performance and mythology in her practice. Anchoring
the presentation is The Observance (1995), an immersive
installation made of deconstructed rubber tires and tubes-Booker's
first work in this signature material, chosen by the artist for its
associations with riots.
Dieses Buch entspringt einer zehnjahrigen Erfahrung im Umgang mit
dem Ultraschall und verbindet die Real-time-Technik mit der des
Compoundscanners. Es ist der Wunsch des Autors, die Ausbildung und
Fortbildung in der Ultraschalldiagnostik zu fordern, denn eine
person- liche Unterweisung in der taglichen Praxis ist ja doch
langwierig, ohne daB die Demonstration samtlicher pathologischer
Veranderungen und Krankheitsverlaufe immer gewahrleistet werden
kann. Ebenso soIl es den Radiologen sowie den Internisten,
Chirurgen und Vertretern anderer Spezialgebiete mit sonographischen
Darstellungen vertraut machen. Selbst wenn diese A.rzte personlich
keine Ultraschalluntersuchungen vor- nehmen, so miissen sie doch in
der Lage sein, die gelieferte Information zu verwerten. SchlieBlich
finden auch die zahlreichen Kollegen, die nach Einarbeitung in der
Graustufentechnik die der real time kennenlernen wollen, hier einen
methodologischen Wegweiser und differential- diagnostische
Anleitungen. Die Ultrasonographie hat 1976 eine technische Wandlung
erfahren und ist nun zur vollen Reife gelangt. Ihre Darstellungen
sind reproduzier- bar und zuverlassig. Ihr Auflosungsvermogen
reicht fast bis an die von der Physik vorgegebenen Grenzen heran.
Statt sich von der Computer- tomographie verdrangen zu lassen, hat
sie vielmehr neue Impulse von diesem Parallelverfahren erhalten.
Die gesamte Semiologie der Formen und Umrisse, der Organe und ihrer
Pathologie ist beiden Verfahren gemeinsam. Diese Studie
sonographischer Symptome der Krankheiten des Verdauungsapparates
konnte demnach als Bindeglied zwischen ihnen dienen.
This book is for the 97 million Americans who want to quit their
job and make money with their ideas. Licensing is one of the
fastest and most profitable ways to make money with ideas. It is
fast because it facilitates existing production, distribution, and
marketing, and it is more profitable because it eliminates your
costs and a percentage of the revenue goes in your pocket. "Most
Ideas Don't Work" because of bad decisions, which come from bad
information. Myths are everywhere, hard to recognize, and
impossible to avoid. Failure precedes success, and knowing how to
fail small, fail fast, and fail forward allows you to focus on what
works. "And What To Do About It" explains how to master what works.
It reveals valuable tips and secrets that will give you a distinct
advantage. Learn new information like the Royalty Rule, Active
Licensing, and the Acceptable Profit Threshold. Understand when to
manufacture and when to license with the <>5X Rule. The right
license with the right company is everyone's dream and may be the
highlight of your career and your life. If you want to make money
with your ideas, this book is for you.
This specially curated collection features five reviews of current
and key research on crops as livestock feed. The first chapter
reviews the impact of feeding ruminants cereal grains on animal
physiology and health. The chapter explores the use of
starch-containing cereal grains as a feedstuff to improve animal
efficiency and performance, as well as to reduce the environmental
footprint of ruminant animal production. The second chapter
discusses key environmental trade-offs in the use of crops as
livestock feed. It reviews key elements in trade-off analysis and
explores opportunities for making better use of existing feed
resources and producing more feed biomass of higher fodder quality.
The third chapter reviews ways of optimising the use of barley for
animal feed, from production and breeding through to the
application of new technologies such as near infrared spectroscopy
and molecular markers. The fourth chapter reviews the use of
sorghum as an important source of fodder and forage. It reviews the
different types of sorghum used for forage and other applications,
and then provides a detailed discussion of the use of forage
sorghum as feed for ruminants. The final chapter discusses the use
of soybean meal (SBM) as an animal feed. It assesses the
nutritional content of SBM, as well dealing with its anti-nutritive
compounds in optimising its use.
This specially curated collection features four reviews of current
and key research on metabolic disorders in dairy cattle. The first
chapter reviews the prevalence, etiology and effects of ruminal
acidosis, as well as ways to counteract it through regulation of
ruminal pH. The chapter includes a case study on subacute rumen
acidosis (SARA) in the post-partum phase of the transition period.
The second chapter assesses the main pathways for rumen
fermentation which is a major factor in efficient transformation of
nutrients. It discusses factors influencing the efficiency of
microbial growth as well as the interactions between rumen energy
and nitrogen metabolism in ensuring efficient digestion and
avoiding metabolic disorders. The third chapter investigates the
genetics of improving feed intake efficiency which has significant
potential in reducing metabolic disorders. The chapter reviews key
challenges in developing genomic selection indices for feed intake,
including recording feed intake, pooling genetic data and
establishing genomic breeding values for feed efficiency. The
fourth chapter discusses how cereal grains impact feed efficiency
in cattle. It reviews how cereal grains can be used to improve feed
efficiency and the microbiology of cereal grain fermentation. The
chapter also discusses ways of avoiding acidosis and other negative
feed effects.
This collection features four peer-reviewed literature reviews on
antibiotics in poultry production. The first chapter places the use
of antibiotics in poultry production in its historical context to
understand the benefits that antibiotics have conferred on animal
production to date. It considers past, present and future use of
antibiotics, focusing on the use of bacteriocins and
phytochemicals. The second chapter considers the benefits and
repercussions of the use of antibiotics in poultry production. It
details the emergence of antibiotic resistance, as well as the
potential risks to public health and sustainable farming associated
with antibiotic use. The third chapter reviews the identification
and use of prebiotics as a control measure against contamination of
poultry products. The chapter covers both traditional prebiotic
compounds such as fructooligosaccharides, and less conventional
sources such as guar gum. The final chapter presents the background
and current use of Competitive Exclusion (CE) as a preventative
measure against Salmonella infections in poultry, by administration
ofcultures of intestinal origin to day-old chickens.
