Theology And Science

Despite Pope John Paul II's call for “intense dialogue” between theology and science that excludes “unreasonable interpretations” of Scripture, ecclesial statements on gender and sexuality—including John Paul II's own works—deploy an interpretation of the literal meaning of Genesis to perpetuate a complementarian anthropology that contradicts scientific insights about the human body. After illustrating the implications of this hermeneutical inconsistency, this article presents Jesuit astronomer William Stoeger's theological method and hermeneutics of the full flourishing of life as an alternative approach, which fulfills John Paul II's vision for dialogue and paves a way toward reimagining church teachings on gender and sexuality.

The third part of the Timaeus, where the account is focused on the cooperation of reason and necessity, has received far less attention than the opening two sections. Particularly, the description of irrigation, digestion and respiration constitutes a challenging passage that has been conspicuously overlooked by scholarly research. Virtually the only modern explanation for the passage was devised by Cornford, and despite several inaccuracies it has been unanimously accepted by all commentators. This paper will challenge Cornford's interpretation, and use some modern biological concepts to provide an alternative approach to the passage more compatible with an actual human body.

Anthropology through Analogy: Thomas More’s Body Metaphors in De Tristitia Christi

Body Metaphors

This essay examines Thomas More’s De Tristitia Christi both to observe More’s nonsystematic theological method and to understand his philosophical and theological anthropology. The paper argues that More has a particular esteem, founded on his Christology, for the human body. Furthermore, his understanding of the place and dignity of the body is deepened by a series of metaphors and analogies that he employs in the text.

Abstract Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of X-nucleus is a method for mapping metabolite quantity in-vivo in the desired region of the human body. However, this method has a lot of difficulties. Since natural abundance of X-nucleus is much lower than for hydrogen, to improve SNR of the spectrum we need to work in higher static magnetic fields. But, even at such high fields, X-nuclei imaging still a very difficult process. One of the problems are RF-coils, which are required for transmission and reception of signals. Traditionally, for human body X-nuclei MRS multi-tuned loop coils are used. However, such coils suffer from additional losses in the circuits required for double-frequency tuning and high complexity. In this work, we propose an alternative approach, based on a recently introduced leaky-wave antenna for MRI, that allows creating wideband excitation which provides wideband transmit and receive. This wideband frequency range covering 13C, 23Na and 31P Larmor resonant frequencies.

Synthetic Work

Hydroxyapatite bioceramics has attracted many material scientists as it is the main constituent of the bone and the teeth in human body. The synthesis of the bioceramics has been performed for years. Nowadays, the synthetic work is not only focused on the hydroapatite but also on the fluorapatite and chlorapatite bioceramics since later materials have also biological compatibility with human tissues; and they may also be very promising for clinic purpose. However, in comparison of the synthetic bioceramics with natural one on microstructure, a great differences were observed according to our previous results. We have investigated these differences further in this work since they are very important to appraise the synthetic bioceramics for their clinic application.The synthetic hydroxyapatite and chlorapatite were prepared according to A. Krajewski and A. Ravaglioli and their recent work. The briquettes from different hydroxyapatite or chlorapatite powders were fired in a laboratory furnace at the temperature of 900-1300°C. The samples of human enamel selected for the comparison with synthetic bioceramics were from Chinese adult teeth.

Important Basis

This is a combined study of two diffirent branches, photogrammetry and morphology of blood cells. The three dimensional quantitative analysis of erythrocytes using SEMP technique, electron computation technique and photogrammetry theory has made it possible to push the study of mophology of blood cells from LM, TEM, SEM to a higher stage, that of SEM P. A new path has been broken for deeply study of morphology of blood cells.In medical view, the abnormality of the quality and quantity of erythrocytes is one of the important changes of blood disease. It shows the abnormal blood—making function of the human body. Therefore, the study of the change of shape on erythrocytes is the indispensable and important basis of reference in the clinical diagnosis and research of blood disease.The erythrocytes of one normal person, three PNH Patients and one AA patient were used in this experiment. This research determines the following items: Height;Length of two axes (long and short), ratio; Crevice in depth and width of cell membrane; Circumference of erythrocytes; Isoline map of erythrocytes; Section map of erythrocytes.
