| chain reaction obstacle course: Biophysics Wayne F. Reed, 2025-03-05 An introduction to the physics of living organisms The field of biophysics employs the principles of physics to study biological systems, and introduces the concept of the living state. It is a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the living state combining physics, biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, medicine and engineering. The physics of macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies is a particularly important aspect of this broader field. Biophysics: Physical Processes Underlying the living state offers an introduction to the general principles of the living state and their biological applications. Beginning with an historical overview of fundamental scientific theories and fields, the book then provides a brief introduction to cell biology and biochemistry, and then an overview of basic thermodynamics, kinetics, information theory, electrostatics in solution, fluid mechanics and macromolecular physics, and their relationship to the living state. After a presentation of physical methods, with an emphasis on light scattering, different biological macromolecules, selected aspects of their functions, and their physical properties and interactions are surveyed. A brief introduction to vision, biomotion, and theoretical biology is also provided. Exploration of some frontier issues in prebiotic origins of life, consciousness, and astrobiology round out the book. The result is a multifaceted window into the broad and evolving field of biophysics. Biophysics readers will also find: Problems at the conclusion of each chapter to reinforce and focus student knowledge A gathering of topics in basic physics and physical chemistry which are seldom found in a single source This textbook is suitable for physics and engineering students studying biophysics, macromolecular science, and biophysical chemistry, as well as for polymer scientists, chemists, biochemists, cell and molecular biologists, bioengineers, and others. |

| chain reaction obstacle course: Drinking Diaries Caren Osten Gerszberg, Leah Odze Epstein, 2012-09-04 Whether you drink it or not, alcohol is likely a potent part of your life: our culture is saturated in it. Ask any woman you know to tell you a drinking story, and she’ll come up with one—in fact, she may even come up with five. With friends and with coworkers, at date night and at ladies' night, and on special occasions ranging from Valentine’s Day to the Super Bowl, we encounter alcohol—yet when it comes to discussing the nature of our relationship with drinking, few of us do so honestly and openly. In Drinking Diaries, editors Leah Odze Epstein and Caren Osten Gerszberg take women's drinking stories out of the closet and into the light. Whether it’s shame, sober sex, and relapsing, or college drinking, bonding, and comparing the benefits of pot vs. booze, no topic related to alcohol is off limits in this illuminating anthology. With contributions from celebrated writers including Jacquelyn Mitchard, Daphne Merkin, Kathryn Harrison, Ann Hood, Ann Leary, Pam Houston, Jane Friedman, Elissa Schappell, Asra Nomani, Priscilla Warner, Rita Williams, and Joyce Maynard, Drinking Diaries is a candid look at the pleasures and pains of drinking, and the many ways in which it touches women’s lives. |

| chain reaction obstacle course: Just Tell Me I Can't Jamie Moyer, Larry Platt, 2013-09-10 An extraordinary -- and surprising -- memoir from Jamie Moyer, who at age 49 became the oldest pitcher to ever win a game in the major leagues. Long-time fans of the National Pastime have known Moyer's name for more than 25 years. That's because he's been pitching in the bigs for all those years. With his trademark three pitches - slow, slower, and slowest - the left-handed Moyer is a pinpoint specialist whose won-lost record actually got better as he got older -- from his 20s to his 30s and into 40s. He's only a few wins shy of 300 for his amazing career. But this is where the book takes an unusual turn. Moyer was just about finished as a big leaguer in his mid-20s until he fatefully encountered a gravel-voiced, highly confrontational sports psychologist named Harvey Dorfman. Listening to the in-your-face insights of Dorfman, Moyer began to re-invent himself and reconstruct his approach to his game. Moyer went on to become an All-Star and also a World Series champion. Yogi Berra once observed that Half of this game is 90% mental. And Moyer's memoir proves it. |

| chain reaction obstacle course: Last of the Crystal Dragon Amber Hall, 2023-03-29 Restore thy gems to restore thy land. Work together face-to-face to understand. Follow thy crystal flowers to see thy past. So thy dragons can return at last. Since the end of dragons, the self-proclaimed king Delhi has ruined the lands and the lives of many for as long as anyone can remember. In a single night, he somehow killed all the dragons and anything linked to them. No one would stand against his command until a village girl came about. After coming into contact with a crystal flower, Esmeralda started having dreams of dragons near the mountain. When she decides to see what was calling to her, she finds a dragon from a lost time. Or at least he claims to be a dragon. Stuck in a human form, the dragon is furious about the situation and immediately lashes out at her. Unsure what to believe, Esmeralda is hesitant on what to do until danger comes after both of them. Forced to work together, they must restore the six elemental crystals that appeared around her neck. Each one represents one of the sacred lands of dragons. Out on the run, they must find the crystal flowers and allies to get answers about the past. In order to stand a chance against Delhi, they must succeed or die trying. Facing evil magic, curses, monsters, each other, and a past that misleads the present, can they get along long enough to solve the mysteries of what happened to the dragons before it's too late? Or will history repeat itself? |

| chain reaction obstacle course: Toward a History Beyond Borders Daqing Yang, 2020-03-17 This volume brings to English-language readers the results of an important long-term project of historians from China and Japan addressing contentious issues in their shared modern histories. Originally published simultaneously in Chinese and Japanese in 2006, the thirteen essays in this collection focus renewed attention on a set of political and historiographical controversies that have steered and stymied Sino-Japanese relations from the mid-nineteenth century through World War II to the present. These in-depth contributions explore a range of themes, from prewar diplomatic relations and conflicts, to wartime collaboration and atrocity, to postwar commemorations and textbook debates—all while grappling with the core issue of how history has been researched, written, taught, and understood in both countries. In the context of a wider trend toward cross-national dialogues over historical issues, this volume can be read as both a progress report and a case study of the effort to overcome contentious problems of history in East Asia. |

| chain reaction obstacle course: Dr. No James Chapman, 2022-11-08 When Dr. No premiered at the London Pavilion on October 5, 1962, no one predicted that it would launch the longest-running series in cinema history. It introduced the James Bond formula that has been a box-office fixture ever since: sensational plots, colorful locations, beautiful women, diabolical villains, thrilling action set pieces, and a tongue-in-cheek tone. An explosive cocktail of action, spectacle, and sex, Dr. No transformed popular cinema. James Chapman provides a lively and comprehensive study of Dr. No, marshaling a wealth of archival research to place the film in its historical moment. He demonstrates that, contrary to many fan myths, the film was the product of a carefully considered transnational production process. Chapman explores the British super-spy’s origins in Ian Fleming’s snobbery-with-violence thrillers, examining the process of adaptation from page to screen. He considers Dr. No in the contexts of the UK and Hollywood film industries as well as the film’s place in relation to the changing social and cultural landscape of the 1960s, particularly Cold War anxieties and the decline of the British Empire. The book also analyzes the film’s problematic politics of gender and race and considers its cultural legacy. This thorough and insightful account of Dr. No will appeal to film historians and Bond fans alike. |

| chain reaction obstacle course: Living with Parkinson's Disease , Parkinson's disease is one of the most common neurologic disorders, affecting many people over the age of 40 and more than 15% of all people over age 65. This book is written specifically for anyone who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, as well as families members and friends. It will serve as a guide to learning about the disease and its potential impact on your life. It describes the nature of Parkinson's disease and treatments that are available for its management, as well as the results of research efforts devoted to the discovery of improved treatments. This is a time of great excitement in research and rapid advances in clinical management, such that most people diagnosed with the disease can continue to lead full and productive lives. Section I discusses the symptoms and brain lesions that characterize Parkinson's disease, the management of its primary symptoms with levodopa, the management of secondary symptoms and complications, surgical treatments, and the concept of wellness in living with chronic illness. Section II reviews research devoted to improving the management of the disease, including the development of treatments that will prolong the effectiveness of levodopa, the search for longer acting agents, and the improvement of late stage complications of the disease. This is followed by chapters that discuss the search for a cure for the disease and prospects for replacing the neurons lost as a result of the disease process. Of particular interest is a detailed discussion of clinical trials, their role in the development of new therapies, and points to be considered before participating. |

| chain reaction obstacle course: Using Nature's Shuttle Judith M. Heimann, 2023-11-20 'Using Nature's Shuttle' is a suspenseful, by turns comic or tragic, but always lively account of how young, idealistic scientists - often the first of their families to go to a university - engaged in basic research that led them to make history in the new fields of plant microbiology and molecular biology. The book passes on the true story of what young scientists in a public Belgian university learned about a million-year-old single cell soil bacterium. This bacterium was able to genetically modify certain plants to produce food that only that bacterium strain could eat. These scientists and their colleagues and rivals figured out how to use that knowledge to genetically modify a variety of plants to make them safer and healthier for man, beast, and the environment. Their genetic modifications made plants cheaper and easier for farmers to grow as well as capable of improving the health and welfare of people in the Third World. The author, Judith M. Heimann, a former diplomat and writer of three published non-fiction books and contributor to two TV documentaries based on them, tells this multi-sided story chiefly through the information she gathered by conducting intensive interviews of each of more than two dozen of the scientists involved. She sees this book as presenting the actual science, as opposed to the current rash of anti-science on this subject, and as encouraging a new generation of young people to opt for careers in STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics subjects). |

| chain reaction obstacle course: The Golden Age Constantine Fitzgibbon, 2015-07-30 The Golden Age is a haunting, mysterious story - a strange Gothic novel of the future. The holocaust is over; Oxford seems to be the capital of the habitable world; and a poet-ruler appears to live out a future tale of Orpheus and Eurydice. It has become a world in which the devil can materialise monstrosities through barriers of time and place, where death has been the monarch and beauty remains a memory in the mind of only a few. The scientists, the priests, soldiers and politicians have all failed; perhaps only the poets can save mankind. |
| chain reaction obstacle course: Advances in Nephropathy Thomas Rath, 2018-10-24 Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a world-wide known disease affecting up to 4% of the population with increasing figures in developing countries. Life expectancy of patients affected by CKD is shortened compared to the overall population and only a minority of patients reach end stage renal disease (ESRD) with the need for dialysis or renal transplantation; death overtakes dialysis. In nine chapters, this book focuses on different aspects related to the pathophysiology and clinical aspects of CKD, providing interesting insights into new and old biomarkers, allowing us to increase diagnostic and prognostic meaningfulness. In addition, chapters deal with new developments in glomerulopathies, but also aspects of the tubulocentric shift will be beneficial for the open-minded reader. Nevertheless, new insights into chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are provided. |
| chain reaction obstacle course: Meatball Sundae Seth Godin, 2007-12-27 Gotta get me some of that New Marketing. Bring me blogs, e-mail, YouTube videos, MySpace pages, Google AdWords. I don't care, as long as it's shiny and new. Wait. According to bestselling author Seth Godin, all these tactics are like the toppings at an ice cream parlor. If you start with ice cream, adding cherries and hot fudge and whipped cream will make it taste great. But if you start with a bowl of meatballs, yuck! As traditional marketing fades away, the new tools seem irresistible. But they don't work as well for boring brands (meatballs) that might still be profitable but don't attract word of mouth, such as Cheerios, Ford trucks, Barbie dolls, or Budweiser. When Anheuser-Busch spends $40 million on an online network called BudTV, that's a meatball sundae. It leads to no new Bud drinkers, just a bad case of indigestion. Meatball Sundae is the definitive guide to the fourteen trends no marketer can afford to ignore. It explains what to do about the increasing power of stories, not facts; about shorter and shorter attention spans; and about the new math that says five thousand people who want to hear your message are more valuable than five million who don?t. The winners aren't just annoying start-ups run by three teenagers who never had a real job. You'll also meet older companies that have adapted brilliantly, such as Blendtec, a thirty-year-old blender maker. It now produces Will It Blend? videos that demolish golf balls, coke cans, iPhones, and much more. For a few hundred dollars, Blendtec reached more than ten million eager viewers on YouTube. Godin doesn't pretend that it's easy to get your products, marketing messages, and internal systems in sync. But he'll convince you that it's worth the effort. |

| chain reaction obstacle course: Scifi Realms: 4 Books Adam Drake, 2020-02-20 This collection brings together all four books in the Scifi Realms bundle series for one low price. Blackout: Day One (Blackout Series Book 1) The nightmare begins. In one fell swoop, civilization is changed forever. No one is unaffected, few are prepared. Some become survivors, others - easy prey. Only the strong, and crazy, will survive. Through the blood and chaos, civilization will be permanently transformed. And it all begins with one terrifying moment, when the lights go out and never come back on. Blackout. Shadow Gambit (Shadow For Hire Book 1) An impossible quest for a legendary item. I love questing for loot. And the more difficult the quest, the greater the reward. So when I'm offered a chance to retrieve the ultimate treasure of all, I signed up. Yet no one warned me the task would be impossible. Against overwhelming odds I'm also expected to defeat an ancient evil - one with the power of a god. But you know what? Some loot is worth risking it all. Shadow Hunting (Shadow For Hire Book 2) The most powerful player in the gaming universe wants me dead. Now I have a price on my head with tens of thousands of bounty hunters out to kill me. But I can only run for so long. I need to put an end to this madness once and for all. If I'm going to die, it will be on my own terms. The tables must be turned. Time to go hunting. Shadow Wars (Shadow For Hire Book 3) I'm a loot-hunting adventurer, not a general. I play online MMOs for exciting quests, to level my character and find cool loot. Not to lead armies. But now I have to fight a battle to get the quest item I desperately need. I've never commanded troops or built bases or strategized an attack more complex than a dungeon raid. When it comes to war, I'm a complete noob. Yet, defeat isn't an option. I've got to win or everything I've worked so hard for will be lost. So, they want a war? I'll give them one. litrpg, fantasy, gamelit, rpg, cyberpunk, female mc, female protagonist, series, action, adventure, video games, mmo, role playing games, vr, virtual reality, wuxia, cultivation, science fiction, bundle, collection, omnibus, dystopian, post apocalyptic, horror, adventure, action, series, survivor, bunker, emp, thriller |
| chain reaction obstacle course: The Screenwriter’s Workshop J. Mira Kopell, 2023-10-20 Through a series of carefully designed writing workshops, this book guides the screenwriter through the messy creativity of screenwriting. Drawing on over 20 years’ experience facilitating screenwriting workshops, author J. Mira Kopell provides readers with a path to screenwriting that makes space for reflection, critique, and exploration. Structured around five specific writing assignments, each assignment supports the writer forward incrementally by focusing on a specific set of craft elements needed to then move them on to the next. A key value of the assignments is that they are not exercises but steps in the development of the writer's own screenplay. By using this book, readers can both receive meaningful feedback on their own project and learn to give insightful, focused critiques of their fellow writer’s work. Rather than offering craft as a “to-do” list that promises successful scripts, this book reimagines craft as “tools not rules,” empowering a writer to let their unique story dictate choices in order to support their work and honor their own voice. This book is ideal for students and lecturers of screenwriting, groups of writers looking to form their own workshops, and aspiring professionals wanting to develop their craft. |
