Advances in Audiology and Hearing Science Volume 1: Clinical Protocols and Hearing Devices

Clinical Atlas of Polysomnography

Clinical Atlas of Polysomnography

Written for sleep technologists Clinical Atlas of Polysomnography provides basic information regarding normal sleep sleep disorders and electrophysiology that is outside of the scope of the AASM manual (AASM Manual for the Scoring of Sleep and Associated Events). It aims to act as a guide through the fundamental aspects of for example types of overnight sleep study establishing a sleep laboratory preparing the patient for a sleep evaluation study placement of electrodes and leads and the scientific aspects of such placement i. e. why they are placed at that particular position. This information will be very useful in those parts of the globe where formal training in sleep technology is not yet available. Many further chapters focus on depicting real-time illustrations of sleep data as captured in the sleep laboratory and the scoring of recording data. Information regarding common montages artifacts and troubleshooting in the sleep laboratory will facilitate the reader’s journey as a trainee sleep technologist. While scoring sleep recordings the When you score the data histogram can provide a great deal of useful information and this has been explained in detail in this book. Most importantly it is prudent to be able to write reports that are both informative and easy to understand by physicians who do not have advanced knowledge of sleep medicine. A chapter has been dedicated to explaining this in detail. Lastly the authors have provided ready-made forms questionnaires and documents that can either be used as they are or with some modifications. This up-to-date and comprehensive volume will be an invaluable guide for technicians and physicians who wish to practice sleep medicine and will be useful for sleep technology and physician training programs. The volume is intended to complement not be a substitute for the AASM scoring manual as many areas that are covered in the manual are not covered here.

Urban Ecology Strategies for Green Infrastructure and Land Use

Urban Ecology Strategies for Green Infrastructure and Land Use

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. With increasing global urbanization the environments and ecologies of cities are often perceived to suffer. While pollution and destruction of green space and species may occur cities also remain part of natural systems. Cities provide natural processes necessary for survival for humans and other living organisms in urban areas. Urban ecology elucidates some of these processes and sheds light on their importance to healthy fulfilling urban livelihoods. Urban Ecology: Strategies for Green Infrastructure and Land Use provides background on issues relating to urban ecology and urban natural processes. The first section covers the types values and recognition of ecosystem services provided by natural processes in urban areas. The second section details the importance and potential of green spaces in urban areas. The third section focuses on biodiversity traits of cities and the ways in which urbanization affects biodiversity indicators. Finally the fourth section covers some of the tools and approaches available for urban planners and designers concerned with improving or maintaining urban environments and the services they provide. This easily accessible reference volume offers a comprehensive guide to this rapidly growing field. Case studies and up-to-date research provide urban planners with new options for creating cities that will meet the demands of the twenty-first century. Also appropriate for graduate students who are preparing for careers related to urban planning this compendium captures and integrates the current work being done in this vitally important field. | Urban Ecology Strategies for Green Infrastructure and Land Use

Omics Analysis of Plants under Abiotic Stress

Omics Analysis of Plants under Abiotic Stress

This new volume highlights the various emerging techniques and molecular applications that are currently being used in plant abiotic stress physiology. It provides a thorough overview of omics approaches in response to stressors such as low water accessibility (drought) excess water (flooding/waterlogging) extremes of temperatures (cold chill frost and heat) salinity mineral deficiency and heavy metal toxicity-many of which are the result of climate change. The book with chapters contributed by specialists in the field emphasizes the broad variety of themes using an omics analysis of plants under abiotic stress factors at the cellular and molecular levels. The chapter authors explore a variety of approaches to address plant abiotic stress including proteomic approaches genome editing applications and system biology approaches. The volume takes into consideration from omics perspective how to use the plant-microbe interaction to make plants more resilient to changing climates. It also looks at the role of ionomics (the study of complete mineral nutrient and trace elemental composition of a plant species) and osmoprotectants to address multiple abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Omics Analysis of Plants under Abiotic Stress provides the fundamental information for all who are working in or have interest in this specific field. Unquestionably this volume will be beneficial for common use of research students teachers and persons who have interest in plant abiotic stress physiology.
