A Barnes & Noble Sensational Debut Novel"Something of a miracle." - The Memphis FlyerJohn Pritchard's acclaimed first novel, Junior Ray, takes the reader on a wild rideinside the mind of Junior Ray Loveblood, a Mississippi Delta deputy sheriffas bloodthirsty as he is misguidedly hilarious. Junior Ray narrates the story inhis own profane, colloquial voice, telling why he hates just about everybody, andwhy he wants to shoot Leland Shaw, a shell-shocked World War II hero and poetwho is hiding in a silo from what he believes are German patrols.Through a series of sleights of hand, misdirections, and near misses, Junior Rayand his sidekick Voyd give a dark tour of the Delta country as they chase theirmysterious prey. Junior Ray's thoughts are peppered with excerpts from Shaw'snotebooks-sometimes starkly different from Junior Ray's diatribe, sometimeseerily similar-and by the end of the story, it is up to the reader to sort out whosereality is more fantastic, Shaw's or Loveblood's, as the one stalks the other throughthe pages of this highly original and darkly comedic story."This writer knows the country whereof he speaks, its dialect, its mores andfolkways. But this is not sociology. It is primitive fiction of the sort one rarelysees. More's the pity. Underneath this violent language and narrative, there is asweet truth. It deserves to be read." - Harry Crews, The Mulching of America"Junior Ray runs on a belly laugh per page. When Junior Ray, a deputy sheriffwho makes Flem Snopes sound cultured, sets out to track down a 'maniac' loosein the Mississippi Delta, he proves to be more demented than his prey. Like hisprotagonist, John Pritchard's novella is outrageous and ribald, a revolt againstthe literary school of manners and a ride that takes Southern Gothic to newextremes." - Curtis Wilkie, Arkansas Mischief

Charles Ray - Exhibition Catalogue

Charles Ray - Exhibition Catalogue

CENTRE GEORGES POMPIDOU SERVICE COMMERCIAL
2022
sidottu
Between Minimalism and craft: a comprehensive appraisal of Los Angeles sculptor Charles Ray This catalog accompanies the 2022 double exhibition of Charles Ray’s work at the Centre Pompidou and the Bourse de Commerce (Pinault Foundation). With approximately 30 pieces that depict humans, plants and vehicles in his favored materials of wood and metal, this publication explores the artist’s critical relationship with Minimalism and the uncompromising perfectionism apparent in his work. Whether recreating fallen trees down to every nook and cranny or conjuring a certain vulnerability in his life-size steel figures, Ray’s pieces are characterized by a formal intricacy that lends an almost uncanny realism to his sculptures in spite of their sometimes unusual scale. In his meticulous attention to detail, Ray invites viewers to examine his sculptures with similar intensity. Ray’s work, which clearly draws from a minimalist-formalist focus on material as it explores the possibilities of three-dimensional representation, resists classification and must be experienced on an individual level. Based in Los Angeles, American artist Charles Ray (born 1953) has worked for decades across mediums and materials to create photography series, performance pieces and sculptures. Ray has been the subject of solo exhibitions around the world, and his work has been featured in Venice Biennales in 1993, 2003 and 2014, and in five Whitney Biennials. He is currently represented by Matthew Marks Gallery in New York.

X-ray Nanochemistry

X-ray Nanochemistry

Ting Guo

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019
nidottu
This book describes the latest developments in the new research discipline of X-ray nanochemistry, which uses nanomaterials to enhance the effectiveness of X-ray irradiation. Nanomaterials now can be synthesized in such a way as to meet the demand for complex functions that enhance the X-ray effect. Innovative methods of delivering the X-rays, which can interact with those nanomaterials much more strongly than energetic electrons and gamma rays, also create new opportunities to enhance the X-ray effect. As a result, new concepts are conceived and new developments are made in the last decade, which are discussed and summarized in this book. This book will help define the discipline and encourage more students and scientists to work in this discipline. These efforts will eventually lead to formation of a full set of physical, chemical and materials principles for this new research field.

Gamma-ray and Neutrino Signatures of Galactic Cosmic-ray Accelerators

Gamma-ray and Neutrino Signatures of Galactic Cosmic-ray Accelerators

Silvia Celli

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2020
sidottu
This book addresses three “hot” topics concerning the general problem of the origin of Galactic cosmic rays, namely (1) the acceleration, propagation, and radiation of particles in supernova remnants; (2) very high energy neutrinos from the Galactic Center; and (3) the potential held by the next-generation gamma-ray and neutrino detectors CTA and KM3NeT for studying extended non-thermal sources in the Galaxy. The topics are intrinsically connected to determining the nature (“hadronic or leptonic?”) of gamma-ray emissions from young and middle-aged supernova remnants and the search for cosmic-ray PeVatrons. The results and conclusions provided here are based on extensive analytical and numerical simulations, which are formulated and presented in a straightforward format that can be readily used in the interpretations of gamma-ray and neutrino observations, as well as for confident predictions for future measurements.

X-Ray Phase-Contrast Tomography

X-Ray Phase-Contrast Tomography

Luca Brombal

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2020
sidottu
X-ray imaging is a corner stone of breast cancer diagnosis. By exploiting the phase shift of X-rays rather than their attenuation, phase-contrast tomography has the potential to dramatically increase the visibility of small and low contrast features, thus leading to better diagnosis. This thesis presents research on the first synchrotron-based project developing a clinical phase-contrast breast computed tomography (CT) setup at Elettra, the Italian Syncrotron Radiation Facility. This book includes a comprehensive theoretical background on propagation-based phase-contrast imaging, exploring and extending the most recent image formation models. Along with theory, many practical implementation and optimization issues, ranging from detector-specific processing to setup geometry, are tackled on the basis of a large number of experimental evidences. Most of the modelling results and data analysis have general validity, being a valuable framework for optimization of phase-contrast setups. Results obtained at synchrotron are also compared with "real world" laboratory sources: both a first-of-its-kind comparison with one of the few hospital breast CT systems and a state-of-the-art implementation of monochromatic phase-contrast micro-tomography with a conventional rotating anode source are presented. On a more general level, this work sheds a light on the importance of synchrotron-based clinical programs, which are key to trigger the long-anticipated transition of phase-contrast imaging from synchrotrons to hospitals.
