An Undetermined Manner of Death
A medical mystery/crime fiction hybrid and second-in-series Matthias Kork novel featuring a humorous blend of lying, cheating, killing and domestic drama. An excommunicated Mennonite drug user is found dead in his locked apartment. He is heavily decomposed and is lying exactly parallel to a vintage Winchester rifle. The scene might have been staged, but there are no suspects or any apparent motive for murder. The decedent's attractive daughter is the beneficiary of his three-month-old life insurance policy, which a suicide verdict would invalidate. She is promoting a homicide verdict to the investigating coroner, and she is very persuasive. 54,202 words

He doesn't drive and can't cycle to work because he keeps falling or getting knocked off. Therefore, he is forced to travel to his work as a scientist by bus. Some of the people who share this journey are unwittingly by their personal entertainment, driving him to commit a serious crime. He creates a project to wreak revenge using his scientific knowledge of a nasty parasitic creature that he will unleash onto the people who offend him. The project backfires as a result of a burglary and causes a spread of the creatures into the South East of the UK. The government turn to Grouchier's company to help contain the crisis, but will his part in it be revealed? This journey involves renewing acquaintance with a sweetheart from University (his one and only) and a good boss with a just-turned-twenty trainee digital forensic scientist. Relief, Prison or Love?

Towards an Understanding of Tinnitus Heterogeneity
Tinnitus is the perception of a sound when no external sound is present. The severity of tinnitus varies but it can be debilitating for many patients. With more than 100 million people with chronic tinnitus worldwide, tinnitus is a disorder of high prevalence. The increased knowledge in the neuroscience of tinnitus has led to the emergence of promising treatment approaches, but no uniformly effective treatment for tinnitus has been identified. The large patient heterogeneity is considered to be the major obstacle for the development of effective treatment strategies against tinnitus. This eBook provides an inter- and multi-disciplinary collection of tinnitus research with the aim to better understand tinnitus heterogeneity and improve therapeutic outcomes.
Ringing ears: the neuroscience of tinnitus
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is a prevalent and often debilitating disorder with approximately 10% of people (incorporating ages from children to the elderly) perceiving it continuously, and in 1-3% of the population it seriously affects the quality of life. The most common cause of tinnitus is hearing loss, and its prevalence has surged as a result from the various large-scale military actions in the Middle East in the last decade. Recent advances have been made in the area of behavioral animal models, in the understanding of human brain imaging aspects of tinnitus, and in addressing the long-range changes in human brain connectivity. Furthermore continued exploration of the three major animal models of tinnitus: salicylate-induced, noise trauma induced, and resulting from somatic interactions with the auditory system has further delineated the relative roles of cochlear activity vs. central auditory system changes. Evidence for the role of neural synchrony changes in tinnitus originates both from human EEG and MEG studies as well as from neuron pair-correlation studies in animals.
