Waking the Power Within Thermodynamics and the Human Battery
The sci-fi film "The Matrix" introduces a fascinating premise where humans function as energy sources for an advanced machine society. In this fictional world, human bodies are maintained in a state of suspended animation while their minds exist in a virtual reality, allowing machines to extract their bioelectric, thermal, and kinetic energy. This article investigates the scientific feasibility of utilizing humans as a power source by applying thermodynamic principles. According to the first law of thermodynamics, the energy required to sustain human life would result in a net energy loss for the machines. The second law indicates that the system's entropy would rise, rendering it an ineffic...

Understanding Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders: A comprehensive guide to tackle Work-Related Musculoskeletal Issues for professionals
The publication "Understanding Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSD)" by Dr. Pinky Dutta provides an in-depth analysis of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused by work-related activities. With over 13 years of expertise, Dr. Dutta introduces MSDs, detailing their impact on muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments, and emphasizes their effects on daily functioning and occupational productivity. She highlights that repetitive workplace pressure accounts for around 50% of non-fatal work-related injuries. The book covers prevalent MSDs like carpal tunnel syndrome and thoracic outlet syndrome, especially in occupations involving extensive computer use and physical labor. Dr. Dutta also explores inflammation's role in MSD development, proposing a revised categorization system based on tissue changes and pathophysiology. This comprehensive resource reflects Dr. Dutta's dedication to sharing knowledge gained through extensive research, clinical experience, and active participation in the field.
Landscape Is...!
Landscape Is...! examines the implicit biases and received meanings of landscape. Following on from the previous publication Is Landscape...? which examined the plural and promiscuous identities of the landscape idea, this companion volume reflects upon the diverse and multiple meanings of landscape as a discipline, profession, and medium. This book is intended for academics, researchers, and students in landscape architecture and cognate disciplines. Chapters address various overlooked aspects of landscape that develop, disturb, and diversify received understandings of the field. Framed as an inquiry into the relationship of landscape to the forms of human subjectivity, the book features contributions from leading voices who challenge the contemporary understandings of the field in relation to capital and class, race and gender, power and politics, and more.
