This is a chronicle for those who've been constantly assailed by a deluge of unusual and passionate feelings, yet were rendered voiceless amidst the cacophony of societal expectations.This tome is more than just a collection of words; it's an exploration into the very essence of what it means to be different, to dream differently, and to see the world through a lens tinted with the hues of raw emotion. It's an odyssey of discovery and acceptance, an invitation to embrace the wild, the weird, and the wonderful that resides in every misfit. So, to the rebels, the mavericks, the ones who've always felt a little out of step with the world around them-this is your anthem.

Annexins (ANX) are a family of calcium-dependent membrane-binding proteins. They are distributed widely in eukaryotes, but yeasts and prokaryotes do not contain these proteins. ANX are cytosolic proteins, which have pools of a soluble form and a form stably or reversibly linked to the parts of the proteins or cytoskeleton that facilitate interactions among the extracellular matrix and the cell. They interact with a number of cell-membrane elements, involved in growth regulation, organization of cell structure, as well as intracellular signaling done by ion fluxes and enzyme modulation. Furthermore, they can also function as a typical calcium channel. The functions of these proteins are now being translated from biomedical research into the clinical practice. This book explores all the important aspects of annexin biology in the present day scenario. The various advancements in the research on their biological importance are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.

Few scientific topics since the theory of biological evolution have inspired as much controversy as artificial intelligence has. Even now, fifty years after the term first made its appearance in academic journals, many philosophers and more than a few prominent scientists and software programmers dismiss the pursuit of thinking machines as the modern-day equivalent of medieval alchemists’ hunt for the philosopher’s stone-a pursuit based more on faith than on skeptical inquiry.In Arguing A.I., journalist Sam Williams charts both the history of artificial intelligence from its scientific and philosophical roots and the history of the A.I. debate. He examines how and why the tenor of the debate has changed over the last half-decade in particular, as scientists are struggling to take into account the latest breakthroughs in computer science, information technology, and human biology. For every voice predicting machines like 2001’s HAL within the next twenty to thirty years, others have emerged with more pessimistic forecasts. From artificial intelligence’s pioneers John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky, to futurist authors Ray Kurzweil and Hans Moravec, to software architects Bill Joy and Jaron Lanier, Arguing A.I. introduces readers to the people participating in the current debate, both proponents and critics of A.I. who are changing the way computers “think” and the way we think about computers.Ultimately, Arguing A.I. is as much a history of thought as it is a history of science. Williams notes that many of the questions plaguing modern scientists and software programmers are the same questions that have concerned scientists and philosophers since time immemorial: What are the fundamental limitations of science and scientific inquiry? What is the nature of intelligence? And, most important, what does it really mean to be human?

Free as in Freedom interweaves biographical snapshots of GNU project founder Richard Stallman with the political, social and economic history of the free software movement. It examines Stallman's unique personality and how that personality has been at turns a driving force and a drawback in terms of the movement's overall success.
