Ripples: Minèa Perhonen
\"A unique blend of Scandinavian sensibility and Japanese, Mina Perhonen is characterized by a tenacious individuality that often contradicts the prevailing trends in Japanese high fashion with its emphasis on unmistakably feminine silhouettes and bright, minimalistic prints that have as much in common with the work of Alvar Aalto and Marimekko as they do with traditional Japanese design. This volume gathers the most iconic work outputted by the fashion house in the last twenty years, highlighting the rich and witty world of Mina Perhonen. A combination of new and archival photography as well as a collection of the illustrations showcase Minagawa's subtle approach to design while critical essays by Issey Miyake and Susan Brown offer insightful commentary about Minagawa's work.\"-- Publisher's website.

Ergonomia Aplicada ao Projeto do Produto: O Ponto de Vista de Designers do Vestuário
Este trabalho tem o objetivo de investigar a aplicação da ergonomia no processo de desenvolvimento de produtos do vestuário, do ponto de vista dos designers. Para isso, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 19 designers. As entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas para realização de análise de conteúdo, baseada em três categorias: conceito de ergonomia; abordagem da ergonomia na formação acadêmica e na vivência profissional; aplicação da ergonomia no desenvolvimento de produtos. Foi constatado que a maioria dos participantes compreende o conceito de ergonomia e considera que ela é aplicada no processo de desenvolvimento de produtos do vestuário, contudo essa aplicação dá-se de forma intuitiva. Além disso, os participantes entendem que a aplicação da ergonomia e a obtenção de dados antropométricos dos usuários são atividades desenvolvidas apenas pelos modelistas. Acredita-se que é necessário abordar a ergonomia na formação profissional dos designers do vestuário, a fim de tornar essa aplicação sistemática e efetiva, afetando a satisfação dos usuários de forma positiva e, consequentemente, aumentando a competitividade das empresas.

Versace
\"A long-awaited and highly intimate visual history of Versace, the glamorous and globally renowned Italian fashion house. Versace, a name that epitomizes Italian opulence, bold sexiness, and a flair for the extravagant, holds its place firmly in the fashion world as a legendary and iconic luxury brand. Taking over the creative artistic direction of the family-run fashion house in 1997, the enigmatic and alluring Donatella Versace has since catapulted the brand into popular culture, cementing Versace as a go-to label for A-list celebrities. This richly illustrated tome chronicles Donatella's interpretation of Versace in the twenty-first century and her remarkable work as the curator and face of Versace. Versace includes exclusive contemporary and archival imagery from runway and backstage shots to intimate scenes at the Versace atelier, with accompanying original essays penned by fashion's most authoritative voices. Featuring arresting photography by Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, and Steven Meisel, among many others; images of Versace fashions modeled by the original \"supers,\" such as Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangelista; and red-carpet coverage of Hollywood's elite wearing dazzling Versace couture, this glittering volume delivers the magnetic vibrancy, supreme luxury, and glamour quotient that define Versace\"--Publisher's description.

Behaviour Analysis in Binary SoC Data
Modern System-on-Chips (SoCs) are highly complex systems specified chiefly using digital clocked logic and implemented in silicon circuitry. The applications served by SoC-based products vary from tiny embedded devices to massive supercomputers. A common factor in systems across the scale is that designers require a thorough understanding of component interactions lest they sacrifice unnecessary energy, performance, development time and other important resources. The approach taken in this thesis is via behaviour analysis on key internal signals carrying binary data. Systems with appropriate instrumentation can provide engineers with signals on the workings and interactions of components in state format (e.g. transactionIsInflight ) or event format (e.g. transactionInitiated and transactionCompleted ). Gaining an understanding of a system's runtime behaviour entails uncovering knowledge about key statistics of these signals and, with equal importance, knowledge about the underlying relationships connecting them. Statistical experiments are devised to find which interpretations of the term \"correlation\" are most useful, and whether individual performance counters can be used effectively for correlation analysis over a single time window. Metrics based on covariance and independence are found to be more useful than those based on sets or geometrical concepts. Individual performance counters are shown to be inadequate for discerning useful correlation information within a single time window; however, the inclusion of at least one pairwise counter enables useful correlation metrics to be calculated. Building upon these results, a hardware design is developed to discover what is required to implement a device for passive on-chip correlation monitoring and data collection. A novel sampling method is developed out of necessity to enable correlation to be detected between signals with a slight but unknown delay, and a novel window function which enables low-cost windowing counters. The correlator device is demonstrated via integration with UltraSoC's commercial toolkit for embedded analytics in a highly complex multi-core system. It is observed that behaviour analysis involves a large amount of data that is difficult to consume using existing tools and techniques (e.g. time-series plots and tables). This is addressed by tackling the problem of how to effectively present large amounts of correlation data in a way which allows a system designer to comprehend the required statistics without being overwhelmed. This work prepares SoC designers for understanding their system's behaviour at a theoretical level via a thorough evaluation of correlation metrics, and at a practical level via an exploration of both implementation in digital logic hardware and novel visualisation techniques to present behaviour.

Dror dreams : design without boundaries
Since 2002, Dror Benshetrit has developed an interdisciplinary practice specializing in truly innovative design projects. His multifaceted approach to design at wildly varying scales and concepts encompass product design, interior design, graphic design, and architecture.0In this survey of Dror Benshetrit's first fifteen years of practice, readers are introduced to an ingenious design practice that started with household objects and furniture, to a collaborator with top brands such as Tumi, Rosenthal, Cappellini, and Bentley, and has since evolved into a visionary architecture office. 0'Dror Dreams' showcases the evolution of the designer's work, reflecting the diversification of his practice over time and the profound results that stem from its holistic approach. Told in his own approachable voice, charting his path from impassioned novice to ambitious ideator, Dror shares the conceptual origins and process behind his projects, as well as marking successes, failures, and conclusions. Dror seeks to communicate the value of creativity without limitation, promote the importance of collaboration, and through example inspire tomorrow's designers to dream big.

Chemogenetics revealed
The chemogenetic technology DREADD (designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs) is widely used for remote manipulation of neuronal activity in freely moving animals. DREADD technology posits the use of “designer receptors,” which are exclusively activated by the “designer drug” clozapine N-oxide (CNO). Nevertheless, the in vivo mechanism of action of CNO at DREADDs has never been confirmed. CNO does not enter the brain after systemic drug injections and shows low affinity for DREADDs. Clozapine, to which CNO rapidly converts in vivo, shows high DREADD affinity and potency. Upon systemic CNO injections, converted clozapine readily enters the brain and occupies central nervous system–expressed DREADDs, whereas systemic subthreshold clozapine injections induce preferential DREADD-mediated behaviors.
