Overview: One of the few explorations available on the underpinning thinking for character construction in popular films.Approaches character construction from a sexuality studies and semiotics perspective, ratThis book approaches the construction of complex and transgressive ‘pervert’ characters in mainstream (not ‘art’), adult-oriented (not pornographic) cinema. It deconstructs an episteme on which to base the construction of characters in screenplays, in a way that acknowledges how semiotic elements of characterisation intersect. In addition, it provides an extended re-phrasing of the notio

Overview: Since its very existence as a separate field within computerscience, computer graphics had to make extensive use ofnon-trivial mathematics, for example, projective geometry,solid modelling, and approximation theory.This interplay ofmathematics and computer science is exciting, but alsomakesit difficult for students and researchers to assimilate ormaintain a view of the necessary mathematics. Thepossibilitiesoffered by an interdisciplinary approach arestill not fully utilized. This book gives a selection ofcontributions to a workshop held near Genoa,Italy, inOctober 1991, where a grou

Overview: Evaluates the profitability and field application of heavily funded crop breeding programs.Explores the market drivers of breeding programs.Discusses the need for re-branding agriculture as an appealiPlant breeding has the potential to improve quality of life for millions of people, and to harmoniously link agriculture, societies and ecosystems. Global efforts have been made to improve awareness and create a better and brighter future for plant breeding worldwide.
