If we could turn back the clock psychologically, could we also turn it back physically? For more than thirty years, award-winning social psychologist Ellen Langer has studied this provocative question, and now, in Counterclockwise, she presents the answer: Opening our minds to what’s possible, instead of presuming impossibility, can lead to better health–at any age. Drawing on landmark work in the field and her own body of colorful and highly original experiments–including the first detailed discussion of her “counterclockwise” study, in which elderly men lived for a week as though it was 1959 and showed dramatic improvements in their hearing, memory, dexterity, appetite, and general well-being–Langer shows that the magic of rejuvenation and ongoing good health lies in being aware of the ways we mindlessly react to social and cultural cues. Examining the hidden decisions and vocabulary that shape the medical world (“chronic” versus “acute,” “cure” versus “remission”), the powerful physical effects of placebos, and the intricate but often defeatist ways we define our physical health, Langer challenges the idea that the limits we assume and impose on ourselves are real. With only subtle shifts in our thinking, in our language, and in our expectations, she tells us, we can begin to change the ingrained behaviors that sap health, optimism, and vitality from our lives. Improved vision, younger appearance, weight loss, and increased longevity are just four of the results that Langer has demonstrated. Immensely readable and riveting, Counterclockwise offers a transformative and bold new paradigm: the psychology of possibility. A hopeful and groundbreaking book by an author who has changed how people all over the world think and feel, Counterclockwise is sure to join Mindfulness as a standard source on new-century science and healing.

Since the beginning of the genome project, the necessary involvement of scientists of widely divergent backgrounds has been evident. The proper handling, analysis, dissemination of information, and the control and data gathering of automated process are areas where computers are directly involved. Thus computers are intimately tied into the production and analysis of biological data. However, many challenges lie ahead.This volume is a collection of selected oral and poster presentations given at The Second International Conference on Bioinformatics, Supercomputing and Complex Genome Analysis, organized to address some of these challenges. The topics include the current status and future prospects of genome map, mapping and sequencing, complex genome analysis,linguistic and neural network approaches, database issues, and computer tools in the genome project. The volume will be ideal for students, newcomers, young researchers and experts alike, who are computationally or experimentally oriented.Keynote Speakers: C L Smith, D Grothues, T Ito, T Sano, D Wang, Y-W Zhu, C R Canton & R J Rohins.

My name is Gerald Don Henson, and I am the author of this book. I have chosen the title of "The Galaxy Principle" for my book, with "Come and let's build a spiral galaxy together" for the subtitle. While no one but God can build a galaxy, we can build the assimilation of a galaxy form, using the same physic principles that God used to build His billions of galaxies. In the late 1960s to early 1970s, I developed an intense interest in the bodies of the universe, as to where they came from and what is controlling their movements. This interest involved the planets, stars, and galaxies, with the spiral galaxy being the most interesting of all. Being an IBM Tool and Die Maker I used my skills to build some fixtures to test out what I could glean from photos that I could obtain of spiral galaxies. I could see that most spiral galaxies had a bar of varying shapes in the center. These bars were spinning with spiral arms usually following the ends of the bars. This fact revealed to me that electromagnetic force was involved in the development of the galaxy. I suspended a magnetic bar from a string tied to the middle of it. I suspended an iron bar by a string tied to the middle of it also. I caused the suspended magnet to spin and then held the suspended iron bar up near the spinning magnet, and the iron bar began to spin in the opposite direction from the movement of the magnet. With this gained knowledge, I built a fixture containing a motor fixed so as to spin a magnet underneath a fixed glass plate, and then sprinkled iron powder on top of the plate. To my amazement, the powder divided up into hundreds of small filaments that began to spin about their centers of mass in the opposite direction of the spin of the magnet and precessed around the spinning magnet in the opposite direction of the spin of the magnet. From these movements fact after fact began to be revealed about the movements involved in the development of a spiral galaxy. From all of this action, this book gradually came into existence. From the beginning of my studies in this field to the present covers a fifty-one- to fiftytwo-year period. I am so thrilled now for the honor of presenting this information to the world, and for the possibility of what may be developed from the physics principle that I have named it The Galaxy Principle

Cryptology: Classical and Modern, Second Edition proficiently introduces readers to the fascinating field of cryptology. The book covers classical methods including substitution, transposition, Alberti, Vigenère, and Hill ciphers. It also includes coverage of the Enigma machine, Turing bombe, and Navajo code. Additionally, the book presents modern methods like RSA, ElGamal, and stream ciphers, as well as the Diffie-Hellman key exchange and Advanced Encryption Standard. When possible, the book details methods for breaking both classical and modern methods. The new edition expands upon the material from the first edition which was oriented for students in non-technical fields. At the same time, the second edition supplements this material with new content that serves students in more technical fields as well. Thus, the second edition can be fully utilized by both technical and non-technical students at all levels of study. The authors include a wealth of material for a one-semester cryptology course, and research exercises that can be used for supplemental projects. Hints and answers to selected exercises are found at the end of the book. Features: Requires no prior programming knowledge or background in college-level mathematics Illustrates the importance of cryptology in cultural and historical contexts, including the Enigma machine, Turing bombe, and Navajo code Gives straightforward explanations of the Advanced Encryption Standard, public-key ciphers, and message authentication Describes the implementation and cryptanalysis of classical ciphers, such as substitution, transposition, shift, affine, Alberti, Vigenère, and Hill
