Chapter 48 In Vivo Bioluminescence Imaging to Assess Compound Efficacy Agains…

Traditional animal models for human African trypanosomiasis rely on detecting Trypanosoma brucei brucei parasitemia in the blood. Testing the efficacy of new compounds in these models is cumbersome because it may take several months after treatment before surviving parasites become detectable in the blood. To expedite compound screening, we have used a Trypanosoma brucei brucei GVR35 strain exp…

The welfare regimes in East Asia are traditionally characterized as productivist, where social policies are subordinated to economic development goals. However, many studies have suggested that welfare approaches adopted by East Asian countries cannot be understood as a homogeneous regime

Managing the estate

Using material drawn from across eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century England, this chapter charts single, widowed and married women’s contribution to estate management.

Chapter 4 Language Policies and Ideologies in Qatar : Is Resistance to Englis…

Neoliberalism, globalisation, and English language hegemony have contributed to the adoption of Western “travelling policies” in the Arab Gulf states, such as building knowledge-based economies and the implementation of English-medium instruction in schools and universities. In Qatar, as well as in other Arab Gulf states like the United Arab Emirates, this has led to ideologies of English-m…

Chapter 1 Arabic vis-à-vis English in the Gulf

This chapter explores how bottom-up and top-down language policies in the Gulf countries interact with wider language ideologies and discourses related to globalization, internationalization of higher education, and neoliberalism. Drawing on Irving and Gal’s theories of semiotic formation of language ideologies and Bourdieu’s theory of language and symbolic power, the chapter critically exa…

Chapter 4 Don’t be too WEIRD: Research for the Future of Writing Studies

This book invites readers to reconsider how writing studies researchers work with Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) on behalf of their communities and argues that engaging with IRBs during the research design process helps practitioners conduct research more quickly and effectively. Using empirical data from both writing studies and extra-disciplinary contexts, Dr. Johanna Phelps presents find…

Chapter 3D Polarized Light Imaging Portrayed: Visualization of Fiber Architec…

D polarized light imaging (3D-PLI) is a neuroimaging technique that has recently opened up new avenues to study the complex architecture of nerve fibers in postmortem brains at microscopic scales. In a specific voxel-based analysis, each voxel is assigned a single 3D fiber orientation vector. This leads to comprehensive 3D vector fields. In order to inspect and analyze such high-resolution fibe…

Artificial Neural Networks as Models of Neural Information Processing

Modern neural networks gave rise to major breakthroughs in several research areas. In neuroscience, we are witnessing a reappraisal of neural network theory and its relevance for understanding information processing in biological systems. The research presented in this book provides various perspectives on the use of artificial neural networks as models of neural information processing. We cons…
