The central aim of this book is to approach contemporary problems raised by technologies of life and death as ethical issues that call for a more nuanced approach than mainstream philosophy can provide. To do so, it draws on the recently published seminars of Jacques Derrida to analyze the extremes of birth and dying insofar as they are mediated by technologies of life and death. With an eye to reproductive technologies, it shows how a deconstructive approach can change the very terms of contemporary debates over technologies of life and death, from cloning to surrogate motherhood to capital punishment, particularly insofar as most current discussions assume some notion of a liberal individual. The ethical stakes in these debates are never far from political concerns such as enfranchisement, citizenship, oppression, racism, sexism, and the public policies that normalize them. Technologies of Life and Death thus provides pointers for rethinking dominant philosophical and popular assumptions about nature and nurture,chance and necessity, masculine and feminine, human and animal, and what it means to be a mother or a father. In part, the book seeks to disarticulate a tension between ethics and politics that runs through these issues in order to suggest a more ethical politics by turning the force of sovereign violence back against itself. In the end, it proposes that deconstructive ethics with a psychoanalytic supplement can provide a corrective for moral codes and political clich?s that turn us into mere answering machines.

Drawing on up-to-date research, it explores the relationship between childhood as a social and cultural construction and the plethora of mobile internet technologies which have become ubiquitous in everyday life.
Описание: This book explores and analyzes the rapid pace of technological evolution in diplomatic, information, military, and economic sectors, which has contributed to a dynamic international policy environment.
Описание: This book investigates how ethics generally precedes legal regulation, and looks at how changes in codes of ethics represent an unparalleled window into the research, innovation, and emerging technologies they seek to regulate.
Описание: As an important part of the Women in Science and Engineering book series, the work highlights the contribution of women leaders in Aerospace Materials, inspiring women and men, girls and boys to enter and apply themselves to secure our future in an increasingly connected world.
Описание: Gender and sexuality in modern Iran is frequently examined through the prism of nationalist symbols and religious discourse from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In this book, Kristin Soraya Batmanghelichi takes a different approach, by interrogating how normative ideas of women’s bodies in state, religious, and public health discourses have resulted in the female body being deemed as immodest and taboo.
Through a diverse blend of sources —a popular cultural women's journal, a red-light district, cases studies of temporary marriages, iconic public statues, and an HIV-AIDS advocacy organization in Tehran - this work argues that conceptions of gender and sexuality have been mediated in public discourse and experienced and modified by women themselves over the past thirty years of the Islamic Republic.
Expanding upon existing philosophical theory, technological research and scholarship on gender and sexuality in Iran, this book focuses much needed attention on under-studied, marginalized communities, such as widows living with HIV. This work interrogates how bodily technologies are constructed discursively and socially in Iran and the values and perspectives which are incorporated in them.
Описание: This book provides a complete guide on tools and techniques for modeling of supercritical and subcritical fluid extraction (SSFE) processes and phenomena. It provides details for SSFE from managing the experiments to modeling and optimization. It includes the fundamentals of SSFE as well as the necessary experimental techniques to validate the models. The optimization section includes the use of process simulators, conventional optimization techniques and state-of-the-art genetic algorithm methods. Numerous practical examples and case studies on the application of the modeling and optimization techniques on the SSFE processes are also provided. Detailed thermodynamic modeling with and without co-solvent and non equilibrium system modeling is another feature of the book.
The book consists of seven chapters. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the field of supercritical and subcritical fluid extraction (SSFE) and their importance to food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Chapter 2 describes the concepts and methodologies for modeling, simulation as well as optimization. It presents conservation laws related to SFE traditional first principle modeling and optimization techniques, statistical modeling as well as advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques like genetic algorithm, fuzzy logic and artificial neural network (ANN). The characteristics and physical properties of palm oil as the most referred solute in the book, and descriptions of some existing palm oil industrial processes are presented in Chapter 3. In Chapter 4, the first principle methodology is applied for modeling of properties of palm oil components, mixtures and for the supercritical fluid extraction of palm oil components. Modeling applications involving advanced techniques such as AI, ANN and fuzzy logics and ANFIS are discussed in Chapter 5. Next, Chapter 6 describes experimental design concepts and procedures as well as statistical optimization techniques involving SSFE processes. Finally, optimisation of SSFE using first principle modeling and other advanced techniques are presented in Chapter 7.
Описание: Women as Wombs provides ground-breaking insights into the debate over reproductive technology and its ethical, legal, and political implications. Raymond asserts that far from being liberatory issues of `choice`, these techniques - including in vitro fertilization, surrogacy, and sex selection - are a threat to women`s basic human rights.
