Speech Dynamics
The relationship between diachronic change and synchronic variation at the articulatory, auditory, acoustic and social level is one of the greatest puzzles in the study of language. Even though plentiful examples exist to suggest that dynamics of synchronic variation and diachronic change are tightly interconnected, a unified theory to account for language change in its relationship to all layers of synchronic variation remains a desideratum. This volume compiles new evidence from articulatory, acoustic, auditory, sociolinguistic, and phonological analyses of segmental and prosodic data and computational modelling, and offers a refreshing theoretical angle on the ongoing debates in language ...
Unity of Body and Soul or Mind-Brain-Being?
The relationship between our living body and our soul, our mental expressions of life and our physical environment, are both classical topics for discussion and ones which currently present themselves as part of a truly exciting philosophical debate: are we today still able to speak of a “soul”? And what is meant by a (living) body (German: “Leib”)? Does our brain dictate what we will and do? Or do we have free will? Why are we the same people tomorrow that we were yesterday? Given the discoveries of the modern neural sciences, can human beings still be understood in the context of the unity of body and soul? Or should we rather define ourselves as mind-brain beings (German: Gehirn-Geist-Gestalten)? Marcus Knaup explores these questions and discusses the most relevant approaches and arguments concerning the (living) body-soul debate. His own approach to current chal-lenges presented by modern brain research emanates from his bringing together Aristotelian Hylomorphism and phenomenology of the living body (German: “Leibphänomenologie”).
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine
Originally developed in the laboratory of Nobel Prize winner Paul C. Lauterbur in the early 1980s, the 12th edition (2018) of this standard textbook has been completely revised, updated, and new critical remarks and comments were added. The author, Peter A. Rinck, is one of the pioneers of nuclear magnetic resonance in medicine and of magnetic resonance imaging. Radiology: One of the most lucid and best illustrated introductory MR texts. European Radiology: An outstanding book, an excellent well-proven didactic approach. Journal of Magnetic Resonance imaging (JMRI): The book more than fulfills its attempted purpose. Amazon Review: This text is by far the best treatise of MRI at the basic level. Academic Radiology: In summary, it is not only an ideal first text, but it's a bargain. Fortschr Röntgenstr (RöFo): In fact, an MR expert has finally succeeded in putting himself in the MR beginner's shoes, explaining the necessary basic knowledge in a very vivid and entertaining way. The author: The perfect book for those wanting to do research and needing to check or refresh the basics and recent developments.
Somesthesis and the Neurobiology of the Somatosensory Cortex
This volume is a compilation of current research on somatosensation and its underlying mechanisms written by international experts from a broad range of disciplines. It is divided into six sections:· structural basis of information processing and neocortical neurotransmitters · psychophysics of somatosensation · cortical representation of somatosensation · sensory-motor interface · neuronal population behavior · cortical neurocomputation and modelling. It highlights not only important new findings but also novel methods and technologies applied to major unresolved issues in the field of neuroscience. The number of methods for investigating the neural mechanisms of soma-tosensory percep...
Practical MR Mammography
The future of breast diagnosis MRI is a high-resolution, noninvasive diagnostic tool that is becoming increasingly important in the emotionally charged field of breast diagnosis. Nevertheless, only a relative handful of centers offer this modality, which:- Combines high reproducibility with patient comfort- Can exclude invasive carcinomas as small as 5 mm with a high degree of confidence- Can resolve contradictions among clinical findings, conventional mammographic findings, and percutaneous biopsyFrom one of the leading centers in MR mammography comes this handsome, practice-oriented teaching atlas that does much more than present pictorial information. Written for radiologists in advanced ...
Diffusion MRI
Professor Derek Jones, a world authority on diffusion MRI, has assembled most of the world's leading scientists and clinicians developing and applying diffusion MRI to produce an authorship list that reads like a "Who's Who" of the field and an essential resource for those working with diffusion MRI. Destined to be a modern classic, this definitive and richly illustrated work covers all aspects of diffusion MRI from basic theory to clinical application. Oxford Clinical Neuroscience is a comprehensive, cross-searchable collection of resources offering quick and easy access to eleven of Oxford University Press's prestigious neuroscience texts. Joining Oxford Medicine Online these resources offer students, specialists and clinical researchers the best quality content in an easy-to-access format.
Entdeckt, erdacht, erfunden
Göttingen, »die Stadt, die Wissen schafft«, die Stadt der Nobelpreisträger. Wegweisende Erfindungen gehen auf Göttinger zurück, manche in Göttingen entwickelte Idee ist wiederum längst vergessen. Einige brachten Fortschritt und Innovation, andere Skandale und Unglück, wieder andere sollten dem Erfinder zu großem Ruhm verhelfen, scheiterten aber schon in ihrer Entstehung. Jenseits der bekannten Namen wie Gauß und Weber wirft dieses Buch die Frage auf, wie Wissen in Göttingen in unterschiedlichen Bereichen und Jahrhunderten entwickelt wurde, zu welchem Preis mancher seine Forschung vorantrieb und welche Geschichte hinter den Ideen steht. Vom ersten Göttinger Nobelpreisträger Otto Wallach, der 1910 mit seinen Forschungen den Grundstein für die Herstellung von Duft- und Aromastoffen legte, über den Nukleus der Rassenideologie bis hin zum Kokain spannt der Sammelband einen Bogen über die kuriosesten, bahnbrechendsten und verwerflichsten Ideen auf, die ihren Ursprung in Göttingen nahmen.
