It is aimed at graduate students as well as practicing engineers, and includes unique chapters on narrowband random processes and simulation techniques. The appendices provide a refresher in such areas as linear algebra, set theory, random variables, and more.

This helpful and practical book provides an overview of vision problems in the older adult, ranging from retinopathies and age-related macular degeneration to cataracts and diabetic retinopathy. The contributions outline the prevention, assessment, and management of the major causes of vision loss, supplying nurses with information about the psychological and social impact of vision loss on the older adult and their families. 606 $aAdjustment (Psychology) in old age 606 $aGeriatric nursing 606 $aOlder people with visual disabilities$xCare 606 $aOlder people with visual disabilities$xRehabilitation 615 0$aAdjustment (Psychology) in old age. 615 0$aGeriatric nursing. 615 0$aOlder people with visual disabilities$xCare. 615 0$aOlder people with visual disabilities$xRehabilitation. 676 $a618.97/77 701 $aHoude$b Susan Crocker$01990870 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911106500703321 996 $aVision loss in older adults$94768065 997 $aUNINA
