The closing years of the twentieth century are witnessing a radical re-orientation of thought in the human sciences which defies conventional disciplinary boundaries and demands anew 'turning': away from the rationalising modes of modernity and towards a different grasp of the nature of knowing itself. . . . The power of visual media as a means of knowledge-creation is only hesitantly grasped b...

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is autoimmune and rare disease. It affects many organs, but the most often affected organs are the nose, lungs, and kidneys. It is part of vasculitis and causes an autoimmune attack by an abnormal type of circulating antibody termed ANCAs against small blood vessels. Disease concerns both men and women with a peak age of presentation in the sixth and seven decad...

As an academic and an artist my practice-based research is at the intersection of language, art and digital technology. It explores the area of the in-between, the visual, the aural and the semantic. I am always interested in experimenting with the digital medium with the aim of engaging the reader/viewer/user in an experience of shifting ‘in’ and ‘out’ of language. This involves looking ‘at’ a...

this study investigated the presence of mast cells in inflammatory aural polyps using light microscopy. the number of mast cells was increased in all examined cases and varied from 2.33 to 41.54 per mm2• the cells were located most commonly around small blood vessels. occurrence of mast cells was not different in various types of polyps, but their density was severely increased in active inflam...

A recent study found aural abscessation to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in free-living eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) in Virginia (1). Though its etiology remains unknown, hypovitaminosis A has been suggested based on a similar lesion occurring in captive chelonia fed diets deficient in vitamin A (4). This hypothesis was supported by significantly greater...

The Revo:oveR installation is a collection of six co-located installations exploring multimodal interaction, self-evolving aural and visual fabric, integration of architectural space, and the notion of communal art. The interactive aural communal soundscape Elemental and one of the two physical sculptures titled Cyrene Reefs exhibited at NIME 2009 can be seen as the core aural components of the...

Acoustic scientists and aural architects are fundamentally different. The former have the skill and experience to design a space that will have specific measurable acoustic properties (physical acoustics). The latter are able to discover what aural properties would be functional and desirable for the inhabitants (cultural acoustics). By focusing on aural architecture, we can design (real or vir...
