Book Description
Fifteen years after the incarceration of the brilliant young computer scientist in a secret cryogenics facility in San Diego, a new Regional Manager, Patrick Calloway discovers the identity of the occupant of cryo vat 75. Carsten Sorensen had been the first recipient of Cybio Inc.’s biocompatible Silex computer chip and the projects lead programmer who broke all the rules by installing his own modified version of the Anthropos operating system with startling results. His secret incarceration was almost forgotten after a tragic accident killed the small group of people who knew he was ‘on ice’. Fascinated by his discovery Calloway learns that under the influence of the rogue operating system Carsten had become almost superhuman, absorbing information at astounding rates and optimising his body including curing his diabetes and developing the ability for self-healing even after being shot and stabbed. Shadowy members of the security forces became concerned that Carsten might leave Cybio to pursue his own agenda or even worse be captured by a foreign Government or criminal organisation. The solution was to secure him in cryostatis until they could work out how to control the scientist and his rogue chip. A decision is made to recover Carsten with the aim of persuading him to cooperate in the extraction of the unique operating system he carried and the development of a new military ‘M’ version that will exploit the endurance and self-healing properties of Carsten’s chip. Dr Mary McClusky, Carsten’s boss at Cybio and the focus of his affections is persuaded to help with recovering Carsten and in return, if the Silex-M project proved successful she could have the opportunity to find a way to disable his chip and return him to normal life. Everything went well with the recovery and Carsten, much to McClusky’s surprise agreed to help the CIA develop the military version of his chip. However, he wanted nothing to do with Mary who he wrongly blamed for his incarceration. Within a few months, Carsten delivered the Silex-M chip and operating system, which was loaded into a special ops team who proved almost invincible in the field. One of the enhancements Carsten added was the ability to withstand severe injury in action and continue to function, with pain, blood loss and shock suppressed until the injured operative reached safety. Then the chip put them into a light coma whilst it implemented rapid healing. The amazing performance of the first team carrying the Silex-M chip came to the attention of Delta Force who wanted control of this project for its own ends. Delta Force Commander in Chief, Tom Carr, would stop at nothing to secure control, even if it meant clearing away some civilian obstacles. With Carr in charge, deployment of the Silex-M technology led to the formation of an elite Delta Force unit called DEFLATT1, who were the envy of all the military services. Then problems began to appear, firstly with Carsten’s health and subsequently with DEFLATT1 team members who had been wounded in action and undergone rapid self-healing. Was this the result of the huge workload placed on Carsten and the massive overclocking of the soldiers endocrine system. In a separate development, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta Centre identified unusual clusters of Graves’ disease or hyperthyroidism. A fluke observation linked these clusters to the roll out of the Silex-DB1 diabetes chip and a race began to discover what was happening and what level of threat this presented to the millions of recipients around the world. Were Carsten Pietersen’s illness, the problems appearing within the Delta Force teams and the threat to the massively successful diabetes chip connected? With the Silex-M project classed as Top Secret and Carsten Pietersen officially dead, it fell to an adhoc team thrown together by circumstances, to find the answers before a worldwide epidemic, national scandal and uncontrolled panic set in.

Book Description
CROSSOVER –A medical science-based thriller by Elliott Trevor SYNOPSIS When Cybio Incorporated announced that its project Crossover had developed the Silex chip, it took the scientific press by storm. The chip's unique coating allowed it to be implanted into the body without rejection. Driven by the Anthropos operating system, it was capable of growing neural connections to the nervous system and the brain. Advanced neural network programming gave the chip the ability to optimise these connections and potentially make changes to the body. The choice of Carsten Pietersen, the geeky lead project programmer, as the first recipient was not universally welcomed by the project team some of whom expressed concern about his maverick attitudes. That concern proved correct when a chance comment about curing his diabetes threw the entire project into turmoil and created a worldwide clamour for more information. Project leader Dr Mary McClusky discovered that Carsten had secretly installed a modified version of the full operating system minus many of the restriction designed to control the growth rate of neural connections. Cybio’s CEO Mark Morgan decided that to salvage the multi-million dollar project they would develop a second-generation chip designed purely to treat diabetes. The only question was what to do with the increasingly uncontrollable Pietersen. He was walking around with the experiment inside him, but was he in charge of the chip, or was the chip in charge of him. On the other side of the world GPC, a new commercial power in the synthetic insulin industry, learnt of the Silex diabetes development with trepidation. Financially stretched, it could not tolerate the threat of more competition or a potential cure. Jan Pieses, GPC’s chief executive called a shady underworld contact and arranged for the threat to be eliminated and the chip destroyed. The attempt to kidnap Carsten Pietersen and destroy the chip almost worked and resulted in him being shot. Amazingly, by the time he reached Cybio HQ, the wound had started to heal itself –the chip was ensuring its host survived. The Crossover team were shocked by this new development and so were the CIA who had been keeping an eye on the project and now decided Mr Pietersen would be better detained in one of its establishments. At first Mark Morgan resisted interference from the Agency but an impatient regional controller decided to snatch Pietersen with disastrous results which left the computer scientist walking the streets feeling threatened and very angry. Something had to be done to control the geek and prevent him from either leaving the project or being snatched by criminals, Governments or other vested interests. Drugging him, injuring him, physically restraining him seemed almost impossible as his raging metabolism could fight any threat. Finally, a solution was found.

Everyday Conceptions of Emotion
Author: J.A. Russell
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401584842
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 580
Book Description
In Everyday Conceptions of Emotion, prominent anthropologists, linguists and psychologists come together for the first time to discuss how emotions are conceptualised by people of different cultures and ages, speaking different languages. Anger, fear, jealousy and emotion itself are concepts that are bound up with the English language, embedded in a way of thinking, acting and speaking. At the same time, the metaphors underlying such concepts are often similar across languages, and children of different cultures follow common developmental pathways. The book thus discusses the interplay of social and cultural factors that humans share in their development of an understanding of the affective side of their lives. For researchers interested in emotion, development of concepts and language, cultural and linguistic influences on psychological processes.

Category : History

Pages : 325
Book Description
During the premodern period, Japan had significant political, economic and cultural relations with Korea. This book purports that this period, from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, was the formative stage of the East Asian diplomacy and ideology which laid the foundations for foreign relations between these two countries in the modern period. The book also investigates how Japan's and Korea's political and diplomatic ideologies emerged as a nascent form of nationalism which scholars have not previously clarified.
