Book Synopsis Rescue Robotics by : Satoshi Tadokoro
Download or read book Rescue Robotics written by Satoshi Tadokoro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-15 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rescue Robotics presents the most significant findings of the DDT Project on robots and systems for urban search and rescue. This project was launched by the Japanese government in 2002 with the aim of applying a wide variety of robotics technologies to find a solution to the problem of disaster response, especially urban search and rescue in large-scale earthquakes. From 2002 to 2007 more than 100 researchers took part in the DDT Project, coming from a wide spectrum of research and development to make up four research groups: Aerial Robot Systems MU (Mission Unit), Information Infrastructure System MU, In-Rubble Robot System MU, and On-Rubble Robot System MU. This book discusses their development and testing of various robotic systems and technologies such as serpentine robots, traced vehicles, intelligent human interface and data processing, as well as analysing and verifying the results of these experiments. Rescue Robotics will be of interest to researchers and students, but will also prove useful for emergency response personnel. It offers an insight into the state of the art of rescue robotics and its readers will benefit from a knowledge of the advanced technologies involved in this field.
Book Synopsis Studies in Late Antiquity by : David Neal Greenwood
Download or read book Studies in Late Antiquity written by David Neal Greenwood and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late Antiquity was an era of remarkable change as beliefs were shaped and reshaped by the competing philosophies of traditional Greco-Roman religion, Middle and Neoplatonist philosophy, and the theology of the early Church. Current narratives of both peaceful competition and violent struggle between Christianity and paganism are reductive. The research presented in this Variorum volume, originally published between 2013 and 2018 in the fields of history, divinity, and philosophy, demonstrates the complexity of the age and provides a more complete picture of major actors including the emperor Julian, Porphyry of Tyre, and Celsus. From the second to the fourth centuries, these were some of the major players in attempting to define the terrain in the conflict between their philosophies and the Christian religion. While the timeframe remains consistently within the late second to the mid-fourth centuries A.D., the sources range between inscriptions, literature, and historical accounts. The particular focus is the emperor Julian (Flavius Claudius Julianus, d. 363), a figure of perennial interest, as not only the last pagan emperor, but the last anti-Christian polemicist of real significance in antiquity. This volume offers a new perspective on Julian, bringing together research from ancient history, Neoplatonist philosophy, and patristic theology, and will be useful to students and scholars alike.

Book Synopsis Athenian Potters and Painters Volume II by : John H. Oakley
Download or read book Athenian Potters and Painters Volume II written by John H. Oakley and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the proceedings of the second Athenian Potters and Painters conference, which was held at the American School of Classical Studies, Athens 2007. Together with the 1994 conference (Volume I, Oxbow 1997), these are the first of their kind - focusing purely on Athenian pottery and addressing key aspects of its study. The thirty-two papers contained here are the result not only of a large amount of new material but also the dynamic appearance of a younger generation of scholars dealing with the subject. Subject areas range from the study of the potters and painters themselves, to shape, subject matter, chronology, export, excavation pottery, context, and the influence of Athenian vases on pottery from other regions of the Mediterranean and vice versa. Three papers in Greek.

Book Synopsis Julian (Routledge Revivals) by : Polymnia Athanassiadi
Download or read book Julian (Routledge Revivals) written by Polymnia Athanassiadi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julian: An Intellectual Biography, first published in 1981, presents a penetrating and scholarly analysis of Julian’s intellectual development against the background of philosophy and religion in the late Roman Empire. Professor Polymnia Athanassiadi tells the story of Julian’s transformation from a reclusive and scholarly adolescent into a capable general and an audacious social reformer. However, his character was fraught with a great many contradictions, tensions and inconsistencies: he could be sensitive and intelligent, but also uncontrollably spontaneous and subject to alternating fits of considerable self-pity and self-delusion. Athanassiadi traces the Emperor Julian’s responses to personal and public challenges, and dwells on the conflicts that each weighty choice imposed on him. This analysis of Julian’s character and of all the issues that confronted him as an emperor, intellectual and mystic is based largely on contemporary evidence, with particular emphasis on the extensive writings of the man himself.

Book Synopsis Byzantine Chronicles and the Sixth Century by : Roger Scott
Download or read book Byzantine Chronicles and the Sixth Century written by Roger Scott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Byzantine chronicles have traditionally been regarded as a somewhat inferior form of Byzantine history writing, especially in comparison with 'classicizing' historians. The aim of many of these papers is both to rescue the reputation of the Byzantine chroniclers, especially Malalas and Theophanes, and also to provide some examples of how these two chroniclers in particular can be exploited usefully both to reveal aspects of the past itself, notably of the period of Justinian, and also of how the Byzantines interpreted their own past, which included on occasions rewriting that past to suit altered contemporary needs. For the period of Justinian in particular, proper attention to aspects of the humble Byzantine chronicle can also help achieve a better understanding of the period than that provided by the classicizing Procopius with his emphasis on war and conquest. By considering more general aspects of the place of history-writing in Byzantine culture, the papers also help explain why history remained such an important aspect of Byzantine culture.
Book Synopsis The Concepts of the Divine in the Greek Magical Papyri by : Eleni Pachoumi
Download or read book The Concepts of the Divine in the Greek Magical Papyri written by Eleni Pachoumi and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2017-05-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleni Pachoumi looks at the concepts of the divine in the Greek magical papyri by way of a careful and detailed analysis of ritual practices and spells. Her aim is to uncover the underlying religious, philosophical and mystical parallelisms and influences on the Greek magical papyri. She starts by examining the religious and philosophical concept of the personal daimon and the union of the individual with his personal daimon through the magico-theurgic ritual of systasis. She then goes on to analyze the religious concept of paredros as the divine "assistant" and the various relationships between paredros, the divine and the individual. To round off, she studies the concept of the divine through the manifold religious and philosophical assimilations mainly between Greek, Egyptian, Hellenized gods and divine abstract concepts of Jewish origins.
Book Synopsis Personification in the Greek World by : Judith Herrin
Download or read book Personification in the Greek World written by Judith Herrin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personification, the anthropomorphic representation of any non-human thing, is a ubiquitous feature of ancient Greek literature and art. Natural phenomena (earth, sky, rivers), places (cities, countries), divisions of time (seasons, months, a lifetime), states of the body (health, sleep, death), emotions (love, envy, fear), and political concepts (victory, democracy, war) all appear in human, usually female, form. Some have only fleeting incarnations, others become widely-recognised figures, and others again became so firmly established as deities in the imagination of the community that they received elements of cult associated with the Olympian gods. Though often seen as a feature of the Hellenistic period, personifications can be found in literature, art and cult from the Archaic period onwards; with the development of the art of allegory in the Hellenistic period, they came to acquire more 'intellectual' overtones; the use of allegory as an interpretative tool then enabled personifications to survive the advent of Christianity, to remain familiar figures in the art and literature of Late Antiquity and beyond. The twenty-one papers presented here cover personification in Greek literature, art and religion from its pre-Homeric origins to the Byzantine period. Classical Athens features prominently, but other areas of both mainland Greece and the Greek East are well represented. Issues which come under discussion include: problems of identification and definition; the question of gender; the status of personifications in relation to the gods; the significance of personification as a literary device; the uses and meanings of personification in different visual media; personification as a means of articulating place, time and worldly power. The papers reflect the enormous range of contexts in which personification occurs, indicating the ubiquity of the phenomenon in the ancient Greek world.

Book Synopsis Hellenism and Christianity by : William J. Malley
Download or read book Hellenism and Christianity written by William J. Malley and published by Gregorian Biblical BookShop. This book was released on 1978 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three fathers of the Church produced Christian apologies in the first half of the fifth century. At the same time as St. Augustine was completing the last books of the Civitas Dei, Theodoret, the future bishop of Cyrrhus, was writing his Graecarum Affectionum Curatio. A short time later, St. Cyril of Alexandria began to circulate the Contra Julianum, the detailed refutation of the Contra Galilaeos of Julian, the Apostate. While the first two major defenses of the Christian faith of this period have been subjected to the exigencies of modern scholarship interest in St. Cyril's polemic against the Emperor Julian has been largely marginal. Scholars have been principally attracted to the Contra Julianum until the present because of fragments of the Contra Galilaeos and passages of the writings of other ancient authors that it has preserved. The Contra Julianum, moreover, has been consulted in so far as it offers pertinent material for those investigating some particular aspect of Cyrillian thought. But the Contra Julianum has yet to receive a complete examination in its own right in order to discover exactly what was St. Cyril's apologetic methodology and to assess his originality and indebtedness to others.
