2013 Reprint of 1961 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This
introduction to linear algebra and functional analysis offers a
clear expository treatment, viewing algebra, geometry, and analysis
as parts of an integrated whole rather than separate subjects. All
abstract ideas receive a high degree of motivation, and numerous
examples illustrate many different fields of mathematics. Abundant
problems include hints or answers. Georgi Shilov was a Soviet
mathematician and expert in the field of functional analysis, who
contributed to the theory of normed rings and generalized
functions. Shilov often collaborated with colleague Israel Gelfand
on research that included generalized functions and partial
differential equations.
Binaural interference occurs when the speech input to one ear
interferes with the input to the other ear during binaural
stimulation. The first report on binaural interference twenty-five
years ago demonstrated that some individuals, particularly older
individuals, perform less well with binaural than monaural
stimulation. Binaural interference is relevant to every audiologist
because it may impact the successful use of binaural hearing aids.
This exciting new book, written by two highly respected
audiologists, first traces the history of research into binaural
interference, then reviews the evidence, both direct and indirect,
supporting its reality. This is followed by a discussion of the
possible causes of the phenomenon, and in-depth analysis of four
illustrative cases. Next, a systematic approach to the clinical
detection, evaluation and amelioration of individuals who exhibit
binaural interference is outlined. This is followed by suggestions
on how to improve techniques for evaluation of the binaural
advantage in general, and improved detection of the disorder in
particular. The book ends with recommendations for future
directions. Given the adverse impact of binaural interference on
auditory function, and its occurrence in a significant subset of
the population with hearing loss, research on binaural interference
only recently has begun to flourish. Adapting audiological clinical
practice to identify, assess, and manage individuals with binaural
interference is not yet widespread. The authors hope that the book
will provide impetus for pursuing further research and encouraging
audiologists to explore the possibility of binaural interference
when patient complaints suggest it. The book is intended for
practicing clinical audiologists, audiology students, and anyone
interested in pursuing serious research on this interesting
phenomenon.
Children in precarious health present particular problems for
healthcare professionals because of their intimate relation to
their family, and because of the family's need to provide major
long-term source of support and to be actively involved in the
decisions about their children's care. This collection of cases and
commentaries in pediatrics highlights the difficult ethical
dilemmas that can arise during high-tech hospital care of children
in precarious circumstances. It serves as a teaching tool for
clinical ethics and as an introduction for medical students and
residents. Clinical cases are described in detail by the physicians
involved, who focus on the ethical issues arising during treatment.
Each case is then commented on in detail by a philosopher or other
bioethicist. It thus serves well as an introduction to contemporary
clinical bioethics, but with a firm grounding in the practicalities
of real-life pediatric care in the hospital setting.
Few books on Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) have the
elegant geometric insight of this one, which puts emphasis on the
qualitative and geometric properties of ODEs and their solutions,
rather than on routine presentation of algorithms.
Starting with the useful concept of an elementary integral defined
(axiomatically) on a family of elementary functions, this treatment
examines the general theory of the integral, Lebesque integral in n
space, the Riemann-Stieltjes integral, and more. "The exposition is
fresh and sophisticated, and will engage the interest of
accomplished mathematicians." - Sci-Tech Book News. 1966 edition.
