Blower-Driven Artificial Respirator for Large Animals.

A Web Application of Simulation System of Artificial Respirator

-A Web application of a ventilator simulation system was developed for the students of clinical engineering and health care professionals. The system runs on Internet Explorer (5.5 or higher) and was developed using HTML, VBScript and Active X control (tklsim.ocx 70kB). The system was composed of a ventilator module and a respiratory model module. The ventilator module makes various waveforms o...

Intensive Artificial Selection Jeopardizes Animals, Well-Being: A Short Review

Domestication of animals has had some important effects on physiology, morphology, behavior and well-being of domesticated animals. Conscious or goal directed selections on animals for increasing their productions has accelerated the rate of the changes, leading to some well-being defections. This paper notes some aspects of animal domestication in context of genetic science. Then explains how ...

Artificial cloning of domestic animals.

Domestic animals can be cloned using techniques such as embryo splitting and nuclear transfer to produce genetically identical individuals. Although embryo splitting is limited to the production of only a few identical individuals, nuclear transfer of donor nuclei into recipient oocytes, whose own nuclear DNA has been removed, can result in large numbers of identical individuals. Moreover, clon...

Why Look at Artificial Animals?

The paper asks: Why Look at Artificial Animals? paying homage to John Berger’s essay ‘Why Look at Animals? published in About Looking, in 1980. In the culture of simulation, there is nothing natural about the way we look at animals, artificial or not – in fact, we appear to look at them artificially in new ways. In examining some of these ideas, the paper refers to software specimens from the p...
