Book Description
Largely ignored by mainstream audiences for the first thirty years of her career, Anais Nin (1903-1977) finally came into her own with the publication of the first part of her diary in 1966. Thereafter she was catapulted into fame. Throughout the late sixties and the seventies she attracted a host of devoted and admiring readers in the counter culture, who were magnetized by her personal liberation and openness. For a woman to make such probing exploration of the intimate recesses of her psyche made her a cult figure with a large and lasting readership. Born in France, Anais Nin lived much of her life in America. Her liaison with Henry Miller and his wife June, documented in her explicitly detailed diaries, became the subject of a major film of the nineties. Her forthright books, her diaries that continue to be published in a steady flow, and her charismatic charm made her the subject of many candid interviews, such as those collected here. Eight included in this volume are printed for the first time. Many others were originally published in magazines that are now defunct. Nin elaborates on subjects only touched upon in the diaries, and she speaks also of her role in the women's movement and of her philosophies on art, writing, and individual growth.
Regulation of Tissue Oxygenation, Second Edition
Author: Roland N. PittmanPublisher: Biota Publishing
ISBN: 1615047212
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
This presentation describes various aspects of the regulation of tissue oxygenation, including the roles of the circulatory system, respiratory system, and blood, the carrier of oxygen within these components of the cardiorespiratory system. The respiratory system takes oxygen from the atmosphere and transports it by diffusion from the air in the alveoli to the blood flowing through the pulmonary capillaries. The cardiovascular system then moves the oxygenated blood from the heart to the microcirculation of the various organs by convection, where oxygen is released from hemoglobin in the red blood cells and moves to the parenchymal cells of each tissue by diffusion. Oxygen that has diffused into cells is then utilized in the mitochondria to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of all cells. The mitochondria are able to produce ATP until the oxygen tension or PO2 on the cell surface falls to a critical level of about 4–5 mm Hg. Thus, in order to meet the energetic needs of cells, it is important to maintain a continuous supply of oxygen to the mitochondria at or above the critical PO2 . In order to accomplish this desired outcome, the cardiorespiratory system, including the blood, must be capable of regulation to ensure survival of all tissues under a wide range of circumstances. The purpose of this presentation is to provide basic information about the operation and regulation of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, as well as the properties of the blood and parenchymal cells, so that a fundamental understanding of the regulation of tissue oxygenation is achieved.

Book Description
The Four-Chambered Heart is a collection of four short stories centering around themes and motifs most popular in the genre of magical realism. Important to this work is its emphasis of repurposed fairy tales and uncanny tropes. These have purposefully been embedded within realistic, domestic settings for aesthetic purposes. The first story, "Immaculate Flora," begins in the home of Elizabeth and Anchor Mason. They decide to raise a child grown from a Petri dish on their windowsill. The next story, "Breaking In," follows Mary Townsend as she addresses her absent lover, Ambrose, in epistolary form, meanwhile breaking into Johnny and Herman Galahads' Victorian house so that she can retrieve Ambrose's vacation address. In "Matriarchs," Agatha Dale decides to raise a small flock of chickens in her Chicago graystone apartment so that she might win the affection of the new family next door. In the final, most baroque and ornamental story, "In The Winter Palace," a young Russian guard is invited into the Queen's chambers within a St. Petersburg-inspired Winter Palace. All four stories challenge the expectations of the traditional domestic space and the way characters' psychologies shape these spaces into something new for the reader.
