New Acquisitions Hightlights

Published by Dental Library under Dentistry
Tags:

Practical dental local anaesthesia / by John G. Meechan ; editor-in-chief, Nairn H.F. Wilson.

D 617.691 M49

This second edition describes the techniques available to dentists to provide anaesthesia of the teeth and surrounding structures. The management of failure, safety issues, and methods of reducing injection discomfort are also described.

 

Diagnosis and treatment in prosthodontics / edited by William R. Laney … [et al.].

D 617.63 L26

This unique book addresses the medical and surgical aspects of treating partially and completely edentulous patients and emphasizes the need to attend to the biologic, psychologic, and social dimensions of illness and care, particularly for patients who require resection and reconstruction or who have oral complications from radiation and chemotherapy. Like the first edition, this book presents a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment, but the similarity ends there. New technologies and materials have been developed in immediate loading, ceramic materials, and three-dimensional imaging techniques that allow more predicatable and successful outcomes. Completely rewritten and updated, this new edition highlights all of these emerging developments as it guides practitioners in providing comprehensive and empathic care.

The Cave of Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc

In 1994 Jean-Marie Chauvet, along with two other spelunker friends, discovered a cave in France filled with geologic and artistic wonders of a prehistoric vintage.  The website created to showcase their find is extremely well done and very beautiful.  Visitors interested in going right away to the different types of treasures found in the cave should click on “Visit the Cave” in the lower right hand corner.  Once there, visitors can choose to view “Art Ensembles” or “Natural and Archaeological Elements” by scrolling over red or green points to see a thumbnail, and then clicking on it to see an enlarged image as well as an explanation.  Zooming in further is possible when a yellow dotted box appears in the image.  Visitors curious to see the mostly whole skull of an ibex should click on the first green point from the entrance.  The “End Chamber”, on the upper far right corner of the map, with only red points, should not be missed.  There visitors will find black paintings of rhinoceroses, felines, horses, bison and ibex in a large panel.

At the Edge

Published by Memorial University of Newfoundland, At the Edge is a peer-reviewed, open access online journal that showcases the work of emerging scholars, particularly in the field of eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century literature and culture, or on Romanticism very broadly defined.

At the Edge welcomes submissions from a wide variety of critical, theoretical, and interdisciplinary perspectives. In addition to essays that take more traditional approaches to literary and cultural research and writing, they strongly encourage innovative and creative forms of scholarly engagement that expand the genre of academic writing to reflect the changes and possibilities of publishing in a digital environment.

In order to foster an ongoing, participatory, and collaborative forum for contributors and readers, they also welcome reviews of recently published books and articles in the field, and especially reviews of the
essays contained in their issues. Reviews may be formal, though readers are also welcome to engage in critical dialogue with their contributors using the built in reading tools.

ARTStem

The focus of this unique site is on “teaching and learning at the intersection of the ARTS, humanities, and the STEM disciplines.” The ARTStem partnership was designed to bring together faculty from the University of North Carolina and public school educators to explore the relationship between learning and teaching in the arts and the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Over the past several years, the ARTStem group has had an annual conference and their website provides some great videos from these proceedings, such as “Using Improv Theater To Help Scientists Learn to Communicate” and “Science as Story”. Visitors can also explore one of the ten topical areas near the top of the homepage. They include “Creativity”, “Dance”, “Design”, and “Math”. On the right-hand side of the page, visitors will find the appropriately titled “Good Related Readin’” section and a clutch of related websites which explore the intersection of art and science.

SUNY Cortland Writing Resource Center

Published by Arts Faculty Librarian under Arts
Tags: , ,

The Writing Resource Center at SUNY-Cortland has some fine writing resources designed for their own students, and others are welcome to take a look. Students should look through the “Help with Your Writing” area, as it contains a list of detailed online resources that can be useful, including links to the Purdue Online Writing Lab, relevant reference books, and tip-sheets for writing particular types of assignments. Moving along, the ”Faculty” area has a number of helpful resources. One in particular is the ”Online Manual for Writing Across the Curriculum”. Designed specifically for faculty, the manual covers some basic premises concerning different types of writing, and it is a good resource for new faculty in particular.

Digital History - Multimedia

The University of Houston’s Department of History and College of Education have created a fun website to help make learning history exciting.  The Multimedia section of the website has much to offer, including “E-lectures”, ”Film Trailers”, “Flash Movies” “Games Database”, and “Historical Music”. Some of the E-lectures include such famous writers as Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky and Linda Gordon.  There are also quizzes to test visitors’ historical knowledge, such as “Could You Pass the 1885 Admission Test for High School?” or “U.S. History: 2000 High School History Quiz”.  The former asks students questions in five subject areas, such as algebra and poetry. The latter asked college students at 55 universities 34 multiple choice questions about history; the average score was 53%.  Lastly, the “Time Machine” is a fun interactive that visitors will enjoy using to learn about American History, and without the right answers, visitors will have to stay back in the time period about which they are being quizzed.

Presenting the “Brill” Typeface: Display any language from any period

Published by Arts Faculty Librarian under Arts
Tags: , ,

After careful consideration, Brill has taken the initiative of designing a typeface. Named “the Brill”, the new typeface  presents complete coverage of the Latin script with the full range of diacritics and linguistics (IPA) characters used to display any language from any period correctly, and Greek and Cyrillic are also covered. There are over 5,100 characters in total, some of which are combining characters, and by using these, myriads of other characters with diacritics can be generated. This indispensable tool for scholars is now freely available for non-commercial use. You can download the font package on brill.nl/brill-typeface after agreeing to the EndUser License Agreement.  Please click here for more details.
