Auditory Mechanisms

Processes and Models : Proceedings of the Ninth International Symposium Held at Portland, Oregon, USA, 23-28 July, 2005

By: Alfred L. Nuttall

The workshop brought together experts in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, physiology, engineering, physics, mathematics, audiology and medicine to present current work and to review the critical issues of inner ear function. A special emphasis of the workshop was on analytical model based studies. Experimentalists and theoreticians thus shared their points of view. The topics ranged from consideration of the hearing organ as a system to the study and modeling of individual auditory cells including molecular aspects of function. Some of the topics in the book are: motor proteins in hair cells; mechanical and electrical aspects of transduction by motor proteins; function of proteins in stereocilia of hair cells; production of acoustic force by stereocilia, mechanical properties of hair cells and the organ of Corti; mechanical vibration of the organ of Corti; wave propagation in tissue and fluids of the inner ear; sound amplification in the cochlea; critical oscillations; cochlear nonlinearity, and mechanisms for the production of otoacoustic emissions. This book will be invaluable to researchers and students in auditory science.

Shape Optimization

Variations of Domains and Applications

By: Catherine Bandle,Alfred Wagner

This book investigates how domain dependent quantities from geometry and physics behave when the domain is perturbed. Of particular interest are volume- and perimeter-preserving perturbations. The first and second derivatives with respect to the perturbation are exploited for domain functionals like eigenvalues, energies and geometrical quantities. They provide necessary conditions for optimal domains and are useful when global approaches like symmetrizations fail. The book is exampledriven and illustrates the usefulness of domain variations in various applications.

Rolling Stone Sheet Music Classics, Volume 1: 1950s-1960s

Piano/Vocal/Chords Sheet Music Songbook Collection

By: Alfred Music

Sixty of the best songs of the early rock era, all chosen from Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. The songs are from the 1950s to the '60s, arranged for piano/vocal/chords. Many of these great songs were previously available only as "old-time" sheet music editions that did not accurately portray the classic recordings that made them famous. In preparing this songbook, Alfred Music took great care to revisit those recordings, replacing incorrect arrangements with new ones that allow pianists and singers to perform the songs in the style that landed them on the Rolling Stone 500. Also available: Rolling Stone Sheet Music Classics, Volume 2: 1970s--1990s. Similar editions are available arranged for easy guitar TAB, wind, and string instruments. Songs vary per instrument. Titles: * All Along the Watchtower * All I Have to Do Is Dream * Be-Bop-A-Lula * Blowin' in the Wind * Blueberry Hill * Both Sides Now * The Boxer * Brown Eyed Girl * Crazy * Crying * Earth Angel * Eight Miles High * Everyday People * For What It's Worth * Gimme Shelter * Gimme Some Lovin' * Gloria * Good Vibrations * Great Balls of Fire * (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher * Hit the Road Jack * Honky Tonk Women * Hoochie Coochie Man * Hound Dog * House of the Rising Sun * I Can See for Miles * I Want To Hold Your Hand * Jumpin' Jack Flash * The Letter * Like a Rolling Stone * Mr. Tambourine Man * Mustang Sally * My Generation * My Girl * The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down * Paint It Black * People Get Ready * Piece of My Heart * Respect * Rock Around the Clock * Ruby Tuesday * Runaway * (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction * Save the Last Dance for Me * Soul Man * Sound of Silence * Stand By Me * Summertime Blues * Sunshine of Your Love * Sympathy for the Devil * Times They Are A-Changin' * The Weight * What'd I Say * When a Man Loves a Woman * Whipping Post * White Room * A Whiter Shade of Pale * Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On * You Can't Always Get What You Want * You Send Me

Resolution Enhancement Techniques in Optical Lithography

By: Alfred Kwok-Kit Wong

Ever-smaller IC devices are pushing the optical lithography envelope, increasing the importance of resolution enhancement techniques. This tutorial encompasses two decades of research. It discusses theoretical and practical aspects of commonly used techniques, including optical imaging and resolution, modified illumination, optical proximity correction, alternating and attenuating phase-shifting masks, selecting RETs, and second-generation RETs. Useful for students and practicing lithographers

The Life-Cycle of Pharmaceuticals in the Environment

By: B.M. Peake,R. Braund,Alfred Tong,Louis A Tremblay

The Life-Cycle of Pharmaceuticals in the Environment identifies pathways of entry of pharmaceuticals into the environment, beginning with the role of global prescribing and disposal practices. The book then discusses typical levels of common pharmaceuticals and how they can be determined in natural waters such as raw and treated sewage, and in potable water. In addition, sections examine methods currently available to degrade pharmaceuticals in natural waters and some of their ecotoxicological impacts, along with future considerations and the growing concept of product stewardship. - Encompasses the full lifecycle of common pharmaceuticals, from prescription and dispensing practices to their occurrence in a range of different types of natural waters and their environmental impact - Explores the role of the healthcare system and its affect on users - Beneficial for environmental engineers involved in the design and operation of appropriate degradation technologies of the pharmaceutical prescription and disposal practices

Hitler's Ambivalent Attaché

Lt. Gen. Friedrich Von Boetticher in America, 1933-1941

By: Alfred M. Beck

Friedrich von Boetticher was Germany's only military attaché accredited to the United States between the world wars. As such, he was Germany's official military observer in the capital of the nation whose potential as an ally of those powers arrayed against Adolf Hitler in the 1930s might have given the dictator pause in any predatory plans he harbored against his neighbors. Though von Boetticher produced a rich and detailed commentary on military and political affairs in Washington in the eight years prior to the outbreak of war between Germany and the United States in 1941, he was nonetheless accused after the war of misjudging America's productive potential and misleading Hitler with overly optimistic reports. As Alfred M. Beck points out, what he actually told German authorities in Berlin is strikingly different from what his detractors later claimed. Von Boetticher "permits a glimpse into the sociology of a conservative officer caste at once assailed by the politics of a regime and the impossibilities imposed on it, its weaknesses in resisting its evils, and its eventual failure to present an alternative to National Socialism's illusory attractions." A loyal German, von Boetticher had strong ties to America. His mother was American-born, he spoke English fluently, and he was enamored of American military history. He was also anti-Semitic and believed that "Jewish wire-pullers" had undue influence over the U.S. government and its policies. His professional ties to U.S. Army officers in the War Department were so strong--supplying them, for example, with details on German air strength and operations during the Battle of Britain in 1940--that they survived until August 1941 and long after the German ambassador himself had been recalled. Torn between his duty to Germany (though the Nazi regime had attempted to harm his son) and his deep affection for America, von Boetticher stood among the broad middle range of German officials who were neither perpetrator nor victim.
