Neurology is primarily characterized by a variety of diseases which seem very similar and are therefore difficult to distinguish between. Skill at differential diagnosis is therefore absolutely paramount. Neurological Differential Diagnosis is a streamlined handbook of prioritized differential diagnosis, to be used both in clinical practice and for exam review. By presenting differential diagnosis in order of frequency and importance, this book provides a practical handbook for clinicians in training, as well as a potential resource for quick board review. Whilst the book covers the most important syndromes and disease entities, readers are referred to other texts for more exhaustive differentials. By limiting differentials in this way - to the most likely and most serious diagnoses - the reader can more easily recall relevant disease processes when faced with a particular clinical situation, whether it be a patient in the emergency room or a difficult question on the board examination. The book specifically targets neurology residents and fellows, with overlap to neurosurgery and psychiatry. Internal medicine physicians with an interest in neurological problems and medical students looking for an edge in clinical neuroscience would also benefit from this text. The content is primarily mid-level material, in a pedagogic format. In order to organize the students' thought processes concise tables and line drawing templates are included. The book is organized into broad chapters by type of disorder and some overlap occurs between particular chapters.

Здесь рассматриваются основополагающие вопросы, необходимые для начала работы на С#. В книге дается обзор С# и .NET Framework, рассказывается, что представляют собой эти технологии, какие причины побуждают ими пользоваться и каким образом эти технологии соотносятся между собой. Начнем мы с самого общего рассмотрения .NET Framework. Это новая технология, и она включает множество понятий, которые на первый взгляд кажутся хитроумными (так как .NET Framework использует принципиально новый подход к разработке приложений). Отсюда следует, что при обсуждении этой темы вам за короткий промежуток времени придется столкнуться с большим количеством новых понятий. Однако это неизбежно, поскольку знание основ крайне важно для понимания программирования на С#. В книге многие из этих тем будут рассмотрены повторно и более детально. Далее приводится упрощенное описание собственно языка С#; среди прочего будут рассмотрены его корни и черты сходства с C++. Наконец, вы познакомитесь с основным инструментом, который будет использоваться на протяжении всей книги,— Visual Studio.NET (VS).

This text offers design concepts such as interface design, design principles and elements, layout, content and typography, and color, as well as examples, projects, and code to enhance client and user interpretation and appreciation of web-based products.

Tables are powerful data analysis tools, yet most Excel users don't use them to their fullest potential. This guide shows why Pivot Tables are versatile for data analysis and how you can leverage them to spot trends and make fast business decisions.

This text presents a realistic view of the role of statistics in the courtroom. While obviously intended to introduce statistics to attornies, it provides statisticians such as myself with a clearcut view of what works and what doesn't work in a courtroom setting. Recommended both for attornies who want to brush up or relearn their statistics to get the most out of a statistician, and statisticians who want to develop productive working relationships with attornies.

Liberal theories have long insisted that cultural diversity in democratic societies can be accommodated through classical liberal tools, in particular through individual rights, and they have often rejected the claims of cultural minorities for group rights as illiberal. Group Rights as Human Rights argues that such a rejection is misguided. Based on a thorough analysis of the concept of group rights, it proposes to overcome the dominant dichotomy between "individual" human rights and "collective" group rights by recognizing that group rights also serve individual interests. It also challenges the claim that group rights, so understood, conflict with the liberal principle of neutrality; on the contrary, these rights help realize the neutrality ideal as they counter cultural biases that exist in Western states. Group rights deserve to be classified as human rights because they respond to fundamental, and morally important, human interests. Reading the theories of Will Kymlicka and Charles Taylor as complementary rather than opposed, Group Rights as Human Rights sees group rights as anchored both in the value of cultural belonging for the development of individual autonomy and in each person’s need for a recognition of her identity. This double foundation has important consequences for the scope of group rights: it highlights their potential not only in dealing with national minorities but also with immigrant groups; and it allows to determine how far such rights should also benefit illiberal groups. Participation, not intervention, should here be the guiding principle if group rights are to realize the liberal promise.

This text describes in detail WBEM/CIM architecture and explores the standard models developed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). It also explores interfaces your WBEM/CIM code will have to work with and offers examples of models and code.

Скалабана.

This eighth edition updates the classic reference on project management theory and techniques within today’s changing marketplace. A wealth of knowledge is put into this practical study guide that managers can rely on.

Here is a state of art examination on exact & approximate algorithms for a number of important NP-hard problems in the field of integer linear programming, which the authors refer to as "knapsack.'' Includes not only the classical knapsack problems such as binary, bounded, unbounded or binary multiple, but also less familiar problems such as subset-sum & change-making. Well known problems that are not usually classified in the knapsack area, including generalized assignment & bin packing, are also covered. The text fully develops an algorithmic approach without losing mathematical rigor.

How is understanding to be understood? Are there limits to understanding? What of importance, if anything, could lie beyond understanding? And do we need to understand knowledge before we can know about understanding? Richard Mason's argument is that a critical theory of understanding, modeled on past theories of knowledge, cannot be workable. Understanding may bring wisdom: an uncomfortable thought for many philosophers in the twentieth century. Yet philosophy aims at expanding understanding at least as much as knowledge. How we understand understanding affects how we understand philosophy. If we put aside a narrow view of understanding based upon a cartesian model of knowledge, we may gain a more liberal, open understanding of philosophy. Mason's treatment of these fascinating problems offers a clear and lucid dialogue with a number of contemporary philosophical schools and with philosophy's past. His discussions include the thought of Hume, Henry James, Heidegger, Frege, Charles Taylor, Michael Oakeshott, Wittgenstein, Gadamer, James Joyce, and the Guyaki Indians. This fascinating book contributes to the work of many of these traditions as well as to the nature of understanding in areas as diverse as physics, music, and linguistics. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Anthony D. Smith is Emeritus Professor of Nationalism and Ethnicity at the London School of Economics, and is considered one of the founders of the interdisciplinary field of nationalism studies. Anthony Smith has developed an approach to the study of nations and nationalism called ethno-symbolism, which is concerned with the nature of ethnic groups and nations, and the need to consider their symbolic dimensions.

The Art of Investigative Interviewing, Second Edition, details the techniques that can be used by interviewers in any setting to detect indications of deception and respond to them appropriately. With all-new case studies and a new chapter devoted to interrogative ethics, this revised edition has been entirely updated while maintaining the lively, instructive writing style of the first edition. Drawing elements from psychology, philosophy, and sociology, Charles Yeschke applies the theory of human need to the process of investigative interviewing. This theory is the most important component of the successful interview and is crucial to an investigator's ability to correctly interpret human behavior.
