| blender to sfm guide: Integrated Procedures in Facial Cosmetic Surgery Seied Omid Keyhan, Tirbod Fattahi, Shahrokh C. Bagheri, Behnam Bohluli, Mohammad Hosein Amirzade-Iranaq, 2021-06-01 Physical attractiveness of the face has a significant impact on the social life and daily interaction of individuals as well as one’s general perception of life. Proper surgical planning for aesthetic facial surgery requires a meticulous analysis of the patient’s current and desired facial features from the perspective of both soft and hard tissues. Significantly greater changes to facial aesthetics can be made via the alteration of the main bony structures of the face than by alteration of soft tissue and skin alone. Various surgical and clinical techniques are available for the augmentation, reduction or refinement of the most prominent aspects of facial aesthetics, such as alterations to the cheek, chin, nose, para-nasal area, as well as the angle of the jaw. These techniques can be categorized as office-based or non-invasive techniques (filler injections, facial liposculpture or liposuction to modify the soft tissue of the face) and invasive surgical interventions such as facial prosthesis and maxillofacial osteotomies. In order to achieve the optimum aesthetic results for patients who undergo bi-maxillary or mono-maxillary orthognathic surgery, it is of paramount importance to utilize a hard and soft-tissue integrated approach. These integrated approaches have utilized the latest techniques in 3-dimentional printing, computer-assisted surgery, tissue engineering and stem-cell therapy in order to achieve positive and lasting outcomes. Integrated Procedures in Facial Cosmetic Surgery includes chapters that focus on facial analysis and clinical evaluation and best practices in surgical techniques such as: principles of bone contouring; genioplasty; mentoplasty; malarplasty; rhinoplasty; orthognatic surgery and intra-oral plastic surgery; lifting procedures like blepharoplasty; surgical approaches to cleft lip and palate surgery; as well as the principles of facial photography. Written by a team of renowned international experts, this textbook features over 900 original photographs, fully illustrating each procedure in a stepwise manner. Integrated Procedures in Facial Cosmetic Surgery is an essential companion for oral and maxillofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists, as well as for cosmetic surgeons and clinical residents dealing with face rejuvenation. Its contents will also be of interest to dentists, prosthodontists, periodontists, radiologists, general surgeons, and dermatologists. |

| blender to sfm guide: Being Logical D.Q. McInerny, 2004-08-03 An essential tool for our post-truth world: a witty primer on logic—and the dangers of illogical thinking—by a renowned Notre Dame professor Logic is synonymous with reason, judgment, sense, wisdom, and sanity. Being logical is the ability to create concise and reasoned arguments—arguments that build from given premises, using evidence, to a genuine conclusion. But mastering logical thinking also requires studying and understanding illogical thinking, both to sharpen one’s own skills and to protect against incoherent, or deliberately misleading, reasoning. Elegant, pithy, and precise, Being Logical breaks logic down to its essentials through clear analysis, accessible examples, and focused insights. D. Q. McInerney covers the sources of illogical thinking, from naïve optimism to narrow-mindedness, before dissecting the various tactics—red herrings, diversions, and simplistic reasoning—the illogical use in place of effective reasoning. An indispensable guide to using logic to advantage in everyday life, this is a concise, crisply readable book. Written explicitly for the layperson, McInerny’s Being Logical promises to take its place beside Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style as a classic of lucid, invaluable advice. Praise for Being Logical “Highly readable . . . D. Q. McInerny offers an introduction to symbolic logic in plain English, so you can finally be clear on what is deductive reasoning and what is inductive. And you’ll see how deductive arguments are constructed.”—Detroit Free Press “McInerny’s explanatory outline of sound thinking will be eminently beneficial to expository writers, debaters, and public speakers.”—Booklist “Given the shortage of logical thinking, And the fact that mankind is adrift, if not sinking, It is vital that all of us learn to think straight. And this small book by D.Q. McInerny is great. It follows therefore since we so badly need it, Everybody should not only but it, but read it.” —Charles Osgood |

| blender to sfm guide: Celebrating 5 Years of Avian Physiology in Frontiers in Physiology Colin G. Scanes, Sandra G. Velleman, 2022-09-27 The avian physiology section is now five years old. This special e-book is to commemorate this event. For this highlights issue celebrating the first five years of the Avian Physiology section, it was decided to focus on the top papers/reviews published. Table 1 lists the top fifteen papers/reviews based on either views or down-loads as a pdf. There is some agreement between the two lists. What is compelling is that of the top papers, all except one encompasses research conducted in domesticated birds, predominantly with chickens with one focused on turkeys. It is perhaps not unexpected that research on chickens dominates the top papers because of the following: - Chickens are commercially important being the number one meat animal globally. - Chickens are used as the model species for birds. Other possibilities that could be the case include the following: - There are more researchers working on chickens compared to other commercial or wild species. - There are other avenues to publish wild bird research. - Lack of funding for open access article processing charges. The exceptions to the chicken papers/reviews is a paper on a passerine bird, the migratory blackheaded bunting (Emberiza melanocephala) (Singh et al., 2018) and a review paper focused on turkey satellite cell proliferation and differentiation (Velleman and Song, 2017). Of the top papers/reviews, six were related to muscle physiology (Bottje et al., 2017; Greene et al., 2019; Lassiter et al., 2019; Lin et al., 2017; Piekarski et al., 2020; Velleman and Song, 2017). These papers address different aspects of the physiology of muscle functioning and development in chickens or turkeys, specifically the following: - Small RNAs from the transcribed from mitochondrial genome in muscle (Bottje et al., 2017) - Leptin induced autophagy of muscle cells (Piekarski et al., 2020) - Proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts: influence of syndecan-4 and glypican-1 (Velleman and Song, 2017) - Myostatin signaling and muscle growth (Lassiter et al., 2019) The role of growth factors and signal transduction pathways in myoblast proliferation (Lin et al., 2017) - Muscle pathology, specifically, woody breast myopathy (Greene et al., 2019) There are also among the top papers/reviews on multiple diverse other organs and systems namely the following: adipose tissue (Abdalla et al., 2018), bone (Adhikari et al., 2019), feathering (Chen et al., 2019), gastro-intestinal functioning/microbiome (Li et al., 2018; Kraimi et al., 2018; Rodrigues et al., 2020), immune functioning (Bi et al., 2018; Wei et al., 2018), kidneys (Li et al., 2018), liver (Flees et al., 2017; Singh et al., 2018), endogenous opioids (Scanes and Pierzchala-Koziec, 2018), photoperiodism (Hanlon et al., 2020), pituitary gland (Zhang et al., 2021) and reproduction (Eusemann et al., 2018; Li et al., 2018). The geographical distribution of the top papers is interesting as summarized in Table 2. The United States of America and the People’s Republic of China were the country of origin of most of the papers. In addition, there were papers/reviews from Europe (France, Germany and a collaborative paper between researchers in the USA and Poland) and India. Of the top papers/reviews from the USA, six come from a single department, namely, the Department of Poultry Science/Center of Excellence for Poultry Science, University of Arkansas (Bottje et al., 2017; Flees et al., 2017; Green et al., 2019; Lassiter et al., 2019; Piekarski et al., 2020; Rodrigues |

| blender to sfm guide: Mobilizing the Past for a Digital Future Erin Walcek Averett, Jody Michael Gordon, Derek B Counts, 2016-10-19 Mobilizing the Past is a collection of 20 articles that explore the use and impact of mobile digital technology in archaeological field practice. The detailed case studies present in this volume range from drones in the Andes to iPads at Pompeii, digital workflows in the American Southwest, and examples of how bespoke, DIY, and commercial software provide solutions and craft novel challenges for field archaeologists. The range of projects and contexts ensures that Mobilizing the Past for a Digital Future is far more than a state-of-the-field manual or technical handbook. Instead, the contributors embrace the growing spirit of critique present in digital archaeology. This critical edge, backed by real projects, systems, and experiences, gives the book lasting value as both a glimpse into present practices as well as the anxieties and enthusiasm associated with the most recent generation of mobile digital tools. This book emerged from a workshop funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities held in 2015 at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston. The workshop brought together over 20 leading practitioners of digital archaeology in the U.S. for a weekend of conversation. The papers in this volume reflect the discussions at this workshop with significant additional content. Starting with an expansive introduction and concluding with a series of reflective papers, this volume illustrates how tablets, connectivity, sophisticated software, and powerful computers have transformed field practices and offer potential for a radically transformed discipline. |

| blender to sfm guide: The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology Christopher J. Knüsel, Eline M. J. Schotsmans, 2022-04-29 The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology spans the gap between archaeology and biological anthropology, the field and laboratory, and between francophone and anglophone funerary archaeological approaches to the remains of the dead and the understanding of societies, past and present. Interest in archaeothanatology has grown considerably in recent years in English-language scholarship. This timely publication moves away from anecdotal case studies to offer syntheses of archaeothanatological approaches with an eye to higher-level inferences about funerary behaviour and its meaning in the past. Written by francophone scholars who have contributed to the development of the field and anglophone scholars inspired by the approach, this volume offers detailed insight into the background and development of archaeothanatology, its theory, methods, applications, and its most recent advances, with a lexicon of related vocabulary. This volume is a key source for archaeo-anthropologists and bioarchaeologists. It will benefit researchers, lecturers, practitioners and students in biological anthropology, archaeology, taphonomy and forensic science. Given the interdisciplinary nature of these disciplines, and the emphasis placed on analysis in situ, this book will also be of interest to specialists in entomology, (micro)biology and soil science. |
| blender to sfm guide: 3D Recording and Interpretation for Maritime Archaeology John K. McCarthy, Jonathan Benjamin, Trevor Winton, Wendy van Duivenvoorde, 2019-03-06 This open access peer-reviewed volume was inspired by the UNESCO UNITWIN Network for Underwater Archaeology International Workshop held at Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia in November 2016. Content is based on, but not limited to, the work presented at the workshop which was dedicated to 3D recording and interpretation for maritime archaeology. The volume consists of contributions from leading international experts as well as up-and-coming early career researchers from around the globe. The content of the book includes recording and analysis of maritime archaeology through emerging technologies, including both practical and theoretical contributions. Topics include photogrammetric recording, laser scanning, marine geophysical 3D survey techniques, virtual reality, 3D modelling and reconstruction, data integration and Geographic Information Systems. The principal incentive for this publication is the ongoing rapid shift in the methodologies of maritime archaeology within recent years and a marked increase in the use of 3D and digital approaches. This convergence of digital technologies such as underwater photography and photogrammetry, 3D sonar, 3D virtual reality, and 3D printing has highlighted a pressing need for these new methodologies to be considered together, both in terms of defining the state-of-the-art and for consideration of future directions. As a scholarly publication, the audience for the book includes students and researchers, as well as professionals working in various aspects of archaeology, heritage management, education, museums, and public policy. It will be of special interest to those working in the field of coastal cultural resource management and underwater archaeology but will also be of broader interest to anyone interested in archaeology and to those in other disciplines who are now engaging with 3D recording and visualization. |
| blender to sfm guide: The Bookshop of the World Andrew Pettegree, Arthur der Weduwen, 2019-01-01 The untold story of how the Dutch conquered the European book market and became the world's greatest bibliophiles--an instant classic on Dutch book history (BMGN - Low Countries Historical Review) [An] excellent contribution to book history.--Robert Darnton, New York Review of Books The Dutch Golden Age has long been seen as the age of Rembrandt and Vermeer, whose paintings captured the public imagination and came to represent the marvel that was the Dutch Republic. Yet there is another, largely overlooked marvel in the Dutch world of the seventeenth century: books. In this fascinating account, Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen show how the Dutch produced many more books than pictures and bought and owned more books per capita than any other part of Europe. Key innovations in marketing, book auctions, and newspaper advertising brought stability to a market where elsewhere publishers faced bankruptcy, and created a population uniquely well-informed and politically engaged. This book tells for the first time the remarkable story of the Dutch conquest of the European book world and shows the true extent to which these pious, prosperous, quarrelsome, and generous people were shaped by what they read. |
