65834The artist in Edo : studies in the history of art
A historic first showing outside Japan of Itō Jakuchū's thirty-scroll series Colorful Realm of Living Beings (c. 1757-1766) at the National Gallery of Art was the occasion for this collection of twelve essays that reimagine the concepts of the artist and art-making as they were understood in early modern Japan. During the Edo period (1600-1868), peace and economic stability under the Tokugawa shogunate allowed both elite and popular arts and culture to flourish in Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto. The essays consider a wide range of art forms--screen paintings, scrolls, prints, illustrated books, calligraphy, ceramics, textiles--giving extended attention to Jakuchū's spectacular series as well as to works by a range of contemporary artists such as Ogata Kōrin, Nagasawa Rosetsu, Hon'ami Kōetsu, Tawaraya Sōtatsu, Katsushika Hokusai, and others. Selected contributions address issues of professional roles, including copying and imitation, display and memorialization, and makers' identities. Some explore the new form of painting, ukiyo-e, in the context of the urban society that provided its subject matter and audiences; others discuss the spectrum of amateur and professional Edo pottery and interrelationships between painting and other media. Together, they reveal the fluidity and dynamism of artists' identities during a time of great significance in the country's history.
65835The artist's complete guide to facial expression
Artists love this book, the definitive guide to capturing facial expressions. In a carefully organized, easy-to-use format, author Gary Faigin shows readers the expressions created by individual facial muscles, then draws them together in a section devoted to the six basic human emotions: sadness, anger, joy, fear, disgust, and surprise. Each emotion is shown in steadily increasing intensity, and Faigin’s detailed renderings are supplemented by clear explanatory text, additional sketches, and finished work. An appendix includes yawning, wincing, and other physical reactions.
65836The association of CFAP65 with male infertility in Vietnamese individuals
The study aimed to investigate the correlation between the polymorphism CFAP65 rs117885048 and male infertility in a Vietnamese population comprising 207 infertile men and 217 healthy controls. As a result, the studied population followed Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) (p> 0.05) and the frequencies of genotypes CC/CT/TT were 0.875, 0.12, and 0.003, respectively. The Chi-square test revealed no association between the polymorphism CFAP65 rs117885048 and the disease in this population (p > 0.05). To further interpret the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CFAP65 gene and male infertility, a more comprehensive study with other polymorphisms needs to be considered.
65837The association of TEX15 haplotype with male infertility in Vietnamese individuals
To assess the relationship between male infertility and TEX15 in a Vietnamese cohort, we performed a case-control association study of polymorphism TEX15 rs323345 and a further analysis of haplotypes of TEX15 rs323345 and TEX15 rs142485241. A total of 420 unrelated Vietnamese males, including 212 infertile patients and 208 healthy controls, were recruited for the present study. The genotype and allele frequencies of the polymorphism TEX15 rs323345 were determined by PCR-RFLP method.

65839The atlas of American architecture : 2000 years of architecture, city planning, landscape architecture and civil engineering
This comparative history of American architecture, social spaces, and engineered environments—organized by style, and then by chronology—is for the general reader. Within its heavily illustrated pages, Tom Martinson traces two millennia of the built environment of this endlessly fascinating, extraordinarily expansive, and utterly diverse nation. Pairing vibrant photography with a rich knowledge of the history of architecture in America—from the Hopi and Colonial years to neomodernism, Robert A. M. Stern, and Zaha Hadid—the book is a comprehensive overview of styles and developments, as well as telling the story of a country through its buildings.
65840The attention economy and how media works : simple truths for marketers
This book offers a considered voice on the advertising chaos that colours our rapidly changing media environment in a world of fake news, fast facts and seriously depleted attention stamina. Rather than simply herald disruption, Karen Nelson-Field starts an intelligent conversation on what it will take for businesses to win in an attention economy, the advertising myths we need to leave behind and the scientific evidence we can use to navigate a complex advertising and media ecosystem. This book makes sense of viewability standards, coverage and clutter; it talks about the real quality behind a qCPM and takes a deep dive into the relationship between attention and sales. It explains the stark reality of human attention processing in advertising. Readers will learn how to maximise a viewer’s divided attention by leveraging specific media attributes and using attention-grabbing creative triggers. Nelson-Field asks you to pay attention to a disrupted advertising future without panic, butrather with a keen eye on the things that brand owners can learn to control.
