"Portraits of the Mind: Visualizing the Brain From Antiquity to the 21st Century" is the visual story of the brain through time, told in rough medieval sketches, nineteenth-century phrenology skulls, and modern scientific scans.
Introduced during the development of the theory of quantum electrodynamics as an aid for visualizing and calculating the effects of electromagnetic interactions among electrons and photons, Feynman diagrams are now used to depict all types of particle interactions.
Historische Fragmente ("Historical Fragments," 1929 in Gesamtausgabe; Judgments on History and Historians, 1958) selects highlights from his lecture manuscripts and demonstrates impressively Burckhardt's gift for visualizing history as a whole.
The interrelationship of design elements can be clarified by visualizing the result if the interior of St. Peter's in Rome were painted in garish colours or painted all black or sprayed with a foamy texture covering all surfaces or flooded with enormously intense floodlight that eliminated all play of dark and light.
However, the combination of particle-like and wavelike properties in quantum mechanics is unlike anything in ordinary experience, and, as soon as one attempts to describe in terms of quantum mechanics the behaviour of a group of identical particles (e.g., the electrons in an atom), the problem of visualizing them in concrete terms becomes still more intractable.
His first novel, Player Piano (1952), elaborates on those themes, visualizing a completely mechanized and automated society whose dehumanizing effects are unsuccessfully resisted by the scientists and workers in a New York factory town.
Because of the nature of quantum mechanics, no single image has been entirely satisfactory at visualizing the atom's various characteristics, which thus forces physicists to use complementary pictures of the atom to explain different properties.
Cardiac catheterization, invented in 1929 by German surgeon Werner Forssmann and refined soon after by American physiologists André Cournand and Dickinson Richards, opened the way for measuring pressure inside the heart, studying normal and abnormal electrical activity, and directly visualizing the heart chambers and blood vessels (angiography).
The utopian left wing wanted the unions to administer industry; Lenin and the cautious wing wanted the unions confined to supervising working conditions; Trotsky and his supporters tried to reconcile radicalism and pragmatism by visualizing administration through unions representing the central state authority.
The pioneer of these detailed screenplays was Thomas Ince, whose remarkable capacity for visualizing the finally edited film made a detailed script possible.
Adams's zone system, a method of visualizing how the scene or object to be photographed will appear in the final print, formed another major influence on White's work.
