Par Lonnie Aarssen. 2022
Other animals are driven to spend essentially their whole lives just trying to get fed, stay alive, and get laid. …
That’s about it. The same was true for our proto-human ancestors. And modern humans of course also require a Survival Drive and a Sex Drive in order to leave descendants. But today we spend most of our lives mainly just trying to convince ourselves that our existence is not absurd. In What We Are, Queen’s University biologist, Lonnie Aarssen, traces how our biocultural evolution has shaped Homo sapiens into the only creature that refuses to be what it is — the only creature preoccupied with a deeply ingrained, and absurd sentiment: I have a distinct ‘mental life’—an ‘inner self’—that exists separately and apart from ‘material life’, and so, unlike the latter, need not come to an end. This delusion conceivably gave our distant ancestors some wishful thinking for finding some measure of relief from the terrifying, uniquely human knowledge of the eventual loss of corporeal survival. But this came with an impulsive, nagging doubt — an obsessive underlying uncertainty: ‘self-impermanence anxiety’. Biocultural evolution, however, was not finished. It also gave us two additional, uniquely human, primal drives, both serving to help quell the burden of this anxiety. Legacy Drive generates delusional cultural domains for ‘extension’ of self; and Leisure Drive generates pleasurable cultural domains for distraction – ‘escape’ – from self. Legacy Drive and Leisure Drive, Aarssen argues, represent two of the most profound consequences of human cognitive and cultural evolution. What We Are advances propositions regarding how a visceral susceptibility to self-impermanence anxiety has — paradoxically — played a pivotal role in rewarding the reproductive success of our ancestors, and has thus been a driving force in shaping fundamental motivations and cultural norms of modern humans. More than any other milestone in the evolution of human minds, self-impermanence anxiety, and its mitigating Drives for Legacy and Leisure, account for not just the advance of civilization over the past many thousands of years, but also now, its impending collapse. Effective management of this crisis, Aarssen insists, will require a deeper and more broadly public understanding of its Darwinian evolutionary roots — as laid out in What We Are.6th International Technical Conference on Advances in Computing, Control and Industrial Engineering (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering #920)

Lebenserhaltung durch Kälte beschäftigt. Zum Beispiel werden Zellkulturen und winzige Gewebeproben bei kryogenen Temperaturen (unter etwa -90°C) aufbewahrt. Eine Wiederbelebung von Organen ist bisher fast ausschließlich nach einer Kühlung auf Temperaturen von 0 bis -80°C gelungen und heute noch Gegenstand der Forschung. Der aktuelle Forschungsstand wird hier zusammengefasst und für verschiedene Tierarten und konkrete Anwendungsbereiche dargelegt. Vor allem wird auf große biologische Einheiten, wie z. B. menschliche Organe und, als Fernziel, den ganzen menschlichen Organismus, eingegangen. Es werden die Notwendigkeit sowie die Möglichkeiten für die Vermeidung von Eiskristallen und Stressfrakturen während der Kühlung auf kryogene Temperaturen erklärt, um eine sichere Lagerung zu ermöglichen.Neuere Methoden werden vorgestellt, die versuchen mit geringstmöglichen Konzentrationen von Frostschutzmitteln auszukommen, da diese Nebenwirkungen verursachen aber benötigt werden, um die Kristallisierung, wie auch die Stressfrakturen geringzuhalten.Dieses Buch richtet sich an Personen, die sich über das Feld der Kryobiologie informieren möchten und dessen Fortschritte, Einsatzmöglichkeiten, aber auch die momentanen Limitierungen kennen lernen möchten.Handbook of Best Practices in Sustainable Development at University Level (World Sustainability Series)

as well as the relevant literature. Fracture mechanics has become an indispensable tool for the design and safe operation of damage-tolerant structures in many important technical areas. The stress intensity factor—the characterizing parameter of the crack tip field—is the foundation of fracture mechanics analysis. The weight function method is a powerful technique for determining stress intensity factors and crack opening displacements for complex load conditions, with remarkable computational efficiency and high accuracy.The book presents the theoretical background of the weight function methods, together with a wealth of analytical weight functions and stress intensity factors for two- and three-dimensional crack geometries; many of these have been incorporated into national, international standards and industrial codes of practice. The accuracy of the results is rigorously verified, and various sample applications are provided. Accordingly, the book offers an ideal reference source for graduate students, researchers, and engineers whose work involves fracture and fatigue of materials and structures, who need not only stress intensity factors themselves but also efficient and reliable tools for obtaining them.Data Science in Engineering, Volume 9: Proceedings of the 40th IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics, 2022, the nineth volume of nine…

This volume collects 22 essays on the history of logic written by outstanding specialists in the field. The book was…
originally prompted by the 2018-2019 celebrations in honor of Massimo Mugnai, a world-renowned historian of logic, whose contributions on Medieval and Modern logic, and to the understanding of the logical writings of Leibniz in particular, have shaped the field in the last four decades. Given the large number of recent contributions in the history of logic that have some connections or debts with Mugnai’s work, the editors have attempted to produce a volume showing the vastness of the development of logic throughout the centuries. We hope that such a volume may help both the specialist and the student to realize the complexity of the history of logic, the large array of problems that were touched by the discipline, and the manifold relations that logic entertained with other subjects in the course of the centuries. The contributions of the volume, in fact, span from Antiquity to the Modern Age, from semantics to linguistics and proof theory, from the discussion of technical problems to deep metaphysical questions, and in it the history of logic is kept in dialogue with the history of mathematics, economics, and the moral sciences at large.Jerusalem Artichoke Food Science and Technology: Helianthus Tuberosus (Interdisciplinary Biotechnological Advances)
