Nota di contenuto

The sound phenomena investigated : cry, stridor, and cough / J. Hirschberg, T. Szende, P. Koltai -- Historical background / J. Hirschberg -- Patients / J. Hirschberg, P. Koltai, Zs. Farkas -- Methods -- Characterization and acoustic description of the most commonly occurring sound signals / T. Szende, J. Hirschberg -- Airway and nervous anomalies associated with pathologic sound production -- The diagnostic value of the conventional examination methods and of acoustic analysis / J. Hirschberg, T. Szende, I. Lellei.

Sommario/riassunto

This multidisciplinary book describes 42 different pathological sounds, occurring in different combinations, in 54 different pathological conditions. Uniquely, while recognizing the indispensability of conventional investigation methods - endoscopy, radiology, MRI - the editors demonstrate the value of perceptive-auditive evaluation and objective acoustic analysis as a complimentary diagnostic tool. A major feature of the book is that the diagnostic evaluations are based on exactly determined parameters in terms of acoustics.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides an innovative and mathematically sound treatment of the foundations of analytical mechanics and the relation of classical mechanics to relativity and quantum theory. It treats time as a transformable coordinate, and so moves the teaching of classical mechanics out of the nineteenth century and into the modern relativistic era. It also presents of classical mechanics in a way designed to assist the student's transition to quantum theory. - ;This book provides an innovative and mathematically sound treatment of the foundations of analytical mechanics and the relation of classic
