Seeing Cellular Debris, Remembering a Soviet Method
نویسنده
چکیده
A 1962 photomicrograph of a mosquito taken in what was then a Tanganyikan mountain laboratory offers a prompt to consider the social salience and affective power of scientific images. Drawing inspiration from anthropological work on photographic practices, this article excavates the diverse geopolitical and domestic contexts of the image's production, consumption and circulation, so as to grasp the relationship between scientific labors and lives. As much souvenir as "epistemic thing," the photomicrograph provides new directions in thinking about the materiality of memory in tropical medicine.

Retro- and prospection for mental time travel: Emergence of episodic remembering and mental rotation in 5- to 8-year old children☆
We investigate the common development of children's ability to "look back in time" (retrospection, episodic remembering) and to "look into the future" (prospection). Experiment 1 with 59 children 5 to 8.5 years old showed mental rotation, as a measure of prospection, explaining specific variance of free recall, as a measure of episodic remembering (retrospection) when controlled for cued recall...

متن کاملWhy never forgetting a face matters: visual imagery and social memory.
This research tested the hypothesis that individuals who tend to form vivid visual images of others (vivid imagers) have more accurate social memories than those who form relatively nonvivid visual images of others (nonvivid imagers). In the first investigation, vivid imagers outperformed nonvivid imagers in remembering details concerning the attitudes, activities, and life history of a woman w...
متن کاملAn extended notion of Cellular Automata for surface flows modelling
Cellular Automata (CA) represent an alternative approach to differential equations to model and simulate complex fluid dynamical systems, whose evolution depends on the local interactions of their constituent parts. A new notion of CA was developed by our research group Empedocles. It permitted to improve significantly an empirical method for modelling macroscopic phenomena, concerning surface ...
متن کاملAn Intact Item of Space Debris with an Exposure Age of about 10 Years
An early suggestion, largely on the basis of the metric thread [1] was that the sphere is a gas tank from a Russian/ Soviet spacecraft, possibly a Molniya satellite (fig. 4). In this paper, we present a more detailed analysis of the crater population and composition, which appear to corroborate th is suggest ion. We fur thermore conduct numer ical simulations to establish the likely thermal con...
