  • Take a Fantastic Voyage Into Virtual Reality by Paula Mchugh
    THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 22, Number 3 Thursday, January 26, 2006 Take a Fantastic Voyage into Virtual Reality by Paula McHugh The Beacher took a fantastic voyage into the halls of ivy recently. We of the dinosaur generation— meaning we received our education via blackboards and Coronet films—were to encounter a learning environment at Valparaiso University that promotes new insights for engineering and sci- ence students. It’s called the Vis Lab, short for Scientific Visualization Laboratory, and it is open to the public twice a week for tours and demonstrations. You might at first think when entering the little room in Gellerson Hall that you’ve walked into a state-of-the-art theatre. The “star” of the Vis Lab is the Vis Box, which pro- jects high resolution 3-D images upon a screen. But instead of theatre seating, the student (or visitor) stands on a plat- form directly in front of the screen, and, With a pair of polarized goggles, a student or visitor can visually explore the structure of microbes. donning a pair of polarized goggles, enters the world of Virtual Reality. Vis Lab Director Jeff Will and research assistant Mike Steffen host the regularly-scheduled public open houses for anyone who is curious to see how the advancement of computer technology has changed the world of learning in the 21st century. For a writer depen- dent upon words on a page, the experience was over- whelming. For a molecular biologist or electrical engineer formerly restricted to formulas on a chalk- board, the world of Virtual Reality translates into images that can be observed from any number of different per- spectives.

  • Appendix 1: Selected Films
    Appendix 1: Selected Films The very random selection of films in this appendix may appear to be arbitrary, but it is an attempt to suggest, from a varied collection of titles not otherwise fully covered in this volume, that approaches to the treatment of sex in the cinema can represent a broad church indeed. Not all the films listed below are accomplished – and some are frankly maladroit – but they all have areas of interest in the ways in which they utilise some form of erotic expression. Barbarella (1968, directed by Roger Vadim) This French/Italian adaptation of the witty and transgressive science fiction comic strip embraces its own trash ethos with gusto, and creates an eccentric, utterly arti- ficial world for its foolhardy female astronaut, who Jane Fonda plays as basically a female Candide in space. The film is full of off- kilter sexuality, such as the evil Black Queen played by Anita Pallenberg as a predatory lesbian, while the opening scene features a space- suited figure stripping in zero gravity under the credits to reveal a naked Jane Fonda. Her peekaboo outfits in the film are cleverly designed, but belong firmly to the actress’s pre- feminist persona – although it might be argued that Barbarella herself, rather than being the sexual plaything for men one might imagine, in fact uses men to grant herself sexual gratification. The Blood Rose/La Rose Écorchée (aka Ravaged, 1970, directed by Claude Mulot) The delirious The Blood Rose was trumpeted as ‘The First Sex Horror Film Ever Made’. In its uncut European version, Claude Mulot’s film begins very much like an arthouse movie of the kind made by such directors as Alain Resnais: unortho- dox editing and tricks with time and the film’s chronology are used to destabilise the viewer.

  • Integrated Sensors, MEMS, and Microsystems: Reflections on a Fantastic Voyage
    Sensors and Actuators A 136 (2007) 39–50 Review Integrated sensors, MEMS, and microsystems: Reflections on a fantastic voyage Kensall D. Wise ∗ Engineering Research Center for Wireless Integrated MicroSystems, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA Received 19 September 2006; accepted 5 February 2007 Available online 20 February 2007 Abstract The past 40 years have seen integrated sensors move from the first micromachined silicon devices to wireless integrated microsystems that combine high-performance batch-fabricated transducers with embedded signal processing and wireless interfaces. This paper reflects on sensor activities during this period, using three of the earliest devices as examples. Neural probes for precision mapping of activity in the central nervous system have evolved from simple acute structures to complex three-dimensional electrode arrays capable of both stimulation and recording. Integrated with circuitry for amplification, multiplexing, spike detection, and the wireless transmission of power and bidirectional data, they are sparking a revolution in neuroscience and are facilitating prosthetic devices for many debilitating neurological disorders. Pressure sensors have moved from low-yield piezoresistive bridges to self-testing wireless capacitive devices hermetically sealed at wafer level. Finally, effortsto miniaturize a gas chromatograph have now realized prototype microsystems the size of a small calculator containing pressure- and temperature- programmed microcolumns able to separate and identify complex gaseous mixtures in seconds. These microsystems will be key in addressing many of the key problems of the 21st century. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Fantastic Voyage Nell’Infinitesimale, Simile a Quello Degli Esploratori 2 Miniaturizzati Che Vagano Dentro Il Corpo Umano
    Premessa Al fine di rendere più agevole agli studenti il ricordo delle lezioni introdutti- ve al corso di diritto penale II che insegno a Firenze, pubblico, in questa ver- sione ancora interlocutoria, alcune riflessioni che sto maturando sul concetto di “specialità” nel diritto penale. Come si comprenderà leggendo le pagine che seguono, nel testo c’è qualcosa di più e di diverso rispetto a quello che può essere detto, ragionevolmente, in un corso di lezione del III anno di Giurisprudenza: nonostante tutto, ho ancora ben presente che l’insegnamento istituzionale, come le canzoni di Natale, va cantato secondo canoni tradizionali e senza indulgere nelle stranezze. Oltre a qualche cosa in più, nel libro c’è anche tanto di meno rispetto a ciò che si è detto a lezione. Manca la voce diretta degli studenti, ed è un peccato perché, negli ultimi anni, anche da noi gli studenti hanno imparato a parlare: con tutti gli altri e non solo con il vicino di posto. Questo consente a chi insegna, se lo vuole, di smettere, a sua volta, di declamare la lezione come farebbe una radio. Forze prima contrapposte possono essere, ora, utilizzate sinergicamente: questa feconda interazione è una bella novità, tra le tante cose che non vanno. Alcune delle riflessioni qui sviluppate hanno radici antiche; mi accompagna- no almeno da quando, nell’estate del 1986, tornai da Chicago con una sedicente (e molto rozza) “teoria delle norme invisibili”. Altre idee, maturate negli anni recenti alla luce di nuove ispirazioni e impreviste letture, si sono concretizzate in occasione di alcune esperienze d’insegnamento.

  • Science Fiction Cinema
    Science Fiction Cinema One Day Course Tutor: Michael Parkes Science Fiction Cinema This course will examine how the science fiction genre has explored the relationship between humanity, technology and the other, to try to answer the question “what does it mean to be human?” The course will chart the history of the genre; from the early worlds of fantasy depicted in silent films, through to the invasion anxieties of the war years, the body politics of the 70s and 80s and the representation of technology in contemporary sci-fi cinema. The one day course will also examine how the genre is currently being rebranded for contemporary audiences and how fandom has been important to its success. The course will include lots of clips, resources for you to take away and the opportunity to discuss the important questions that science fiction cinema asks. What is Science Fiction? Most film genres are difficult to compartmentalise but there often tends to be one key convention that allows us to understand the nature of the film. Horror films are scary, Comedies make us laugh but Science Fiction appears to be a little more complicated and difficult to tie down. They can be about the future, but then again can be set in the past, they explore themes of identity, technology and the other but then again sometimes don’t! It has been a long standing struggle in Film Studies to really define what science fiction is; some believe it is a sub-genre of Horror whereas others believe it is a genre of its own merit.
