Sommario/riassunto

Endless travel in cyberspace, virtual reality, and the dream of limitless speed: technology changes our sense of self. In her new book, Trinh Minh-ha explores the way technology transforms our perception of



reality. ""We are all engaged in social rituals in our daily activities, she writes, ""and by remaining unaware of their artistic ritual propensity, we remain 'in conformity'.""  Her goal, as a thinker and an artist, is to transform our understanding of technology and speed so that we are able to ""turn an instrument into a creative tool and to step out of the one-dimensional, techn

Sommario/riassunto

The monograph is devoted to the description of the kinetics of spontaneous boiling of superheated liquefied gases and their solutions. Experimental results are given on the temperature of accessible superheating, the limits of tensile strength of liquids due to processes of cavitation and the rates of nucleation of classical and quantum liquids. The kinetics of evolution of the gas phase is studied in detail for solutions of cryogenic liquids and gas-saturated fluids. The properties of the critical clusters (bubbles of critical sizes) of the newly evolving gas phase are analyzed for initial st
