Receptive fields of neurons in the forelimb region of areas 3b and 1 of primary somatosensory cortex, in cats and monkeys, were mapped using extracellular recordings obtained sequentially from nearly radial penetrations. Locations of the field centroids indicated the presence of a functional system in which cortical homotypic representations of the limb surfaces are entwined in three-dimensiona...

The 62nd annual Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin, “Light and Skin: How Light Sustains, Damages, Treats, Images and Modifies Skin Biology,” was held October 10–14, 2013, in Stevenson, Washington. Life and skin evolved under sunlight; dermatology will forever be entwined with photomedicine. We routinely use microscopy, optical diagnostics, phototherapy, photodynamic therapy and lasers wh...

The issue of how to support the re-use of knowledge — under rubrics such as organizational memory, knowledge management and expertise management — has received increasing attention over the last decade. In this chapter we take a strongly social approach to the issue, arguing that knowledge (and expertise) is created, used, and disseminated in ways that are inextricably entwined with the social ...

Mortality and reproduction are intimately entwined in the study of aging and longevity. I apply the modern theory of complex adaptive systems (nonlinear, stochastic, dynamic methods) to questions of aging and longevity. I begin by highlighting major questions that must be answered in order to obtain a deeper understanding of aging. These are: (i) What should (in an evolutionary sense) mortality...

The extensive membrane network of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is physically juxtaposed to and functionally entwined with essentially all other cellular compartments. Therefore, the ER must sense diverse and constantly changing physiological inputs so it can adjust its numerous functions to maintain cellular homeostasis. A growing body of new work suggests that the unfolded protein response (...

conclusions with regard to significant relation between mental health, job satisfaction, and economic satisfaction, a system for educating and stress reduction counseling should be established to help nurses effectively coping with stress. also, improving the work environment, increasing staff, increasing salary, and decreasing working hours may reduce the nurses' exposure to stressful risk fac...

The paper diachronically examines the white hanbok as material and symbolic site of interaction between hegemonising hegemonised in Korea. It traces changing status from end 19th century to present—from being part unconscious culture, synecdoche colonised nation, symbol resistance, membrane a ‘homogeneous nation’, democracy. analyses paradoxical skin—at once inclusive exclusive—of Korean ethnon...

Drawing upon empirical research from a larger project on photography in nineteenth-century British North America, this essay proceeds the conviction that photography—as science, as technology, practice—warrants closer scrutiny for ways which it contributed to creation and circulation of knowledge mid-to-late Canada. Based surviving images well those known only written record, foray into entwine...
