Introduction to Digital Audio Coding and Standards provides a detailed introduction to the methods, implementations, and official standards of state-of-the-art audio coding technology. In the book, the theory and implementation of each of the basic coder building blocks is addressed. The building blocks are then fit together into a full coder and the reader is shown how to judge the performance of such a coder. Finally, the authors discuss the features, choices, and performance of the main state-of-the-art coders defined in the ISO/IEC MPEG and HDTV standards and in commercial use today.

Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery Volume 50


Free Download Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery: Volume 50
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031535774 | 354 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 128 MB
In this book, internationally recognised experts provide an update on some important basic and technical aspects of neurosurgery. Intracranial tumours are the main focus of the book with chapters dealing with ependymomas, a tumour that still offers difficulties of interpretation in terms of both pathological features and management modalities, intraventricular tumours, which require particular attention in the choice of treatment modalities, and tumours considered typically paediatric that may still present in adulthood although with different aspects. Technical approaches to difficult anatomical areas are discussed in three chapters, dealing with the orbit, the craniocervical junction and the brainstem, respectively. Two rather didactic chapters, dealing with the minimally invasive technique for the spine and the clipping of cerebral aneurysms, are intended to contribute to the training of young neurosurgeons by illustrating the surgical steps in detail. The contribution of ultrasound to neurosurgery is illustrated in two chapters that should arouse great interest. The so-called Chiari malformations is approached in a chapter emphasising the role of cranio-cerebral disproportion in their pathogenesis. Finally, a chapter devoted to the ethical attitude that should characterise the daily practice of the neurosurgeon completes the book.

Resistance to Changes in Financial Reporting Standards


Free Download Edel Lemus, "Resistance to Changes in Financial Reporting Standards"
English | ISBN: 1443897280 | 2016 | 150 pages | PDF | 1449 KB
This book investigates current resistance to the ongoing change from US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 138 countries have, thus far, adopted IFRS as a singular accounting language, while the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB), and the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) have determined that IFRS should be adopted optionally in the United States by 2016. The book shows that IFRS should act as a singular accounting language, which will promote high transparency and a better economic position in the world financial market.

Schnell und sicher die richtigen diagnostischen und therapeutischen Entscheidungen in der Inneren Medizin treffen – das ist das Ziel dieses Buches, das sich an Ärzte in Krankenhäusern der Grund- und Regelversorgung richtet. Ärzte in spezialisierten Zentren hingegen finden Antworten auf internistische Fragestellungen außerhalb ihres eigenen Schwerpunktgebietes. Alle Kapitel – geschrieben von den Ärzten einer Abteilung für Innere Medizin – beziehen sich selbstverständlich durchgängig auf Evidenz-basierte Leitlinien deutscher, europäischer und amerikanischer Fachgesellschaften.Das Buch ist für alle diejenigen gedacht, die Innere Medizin bereits "können", die aber in den angebotenen Algorithmen und Checklisten noch einmal nachschlagen möchten, ob sie auch alles bedacht haben. Es bietet professionelle Rundum-Information mit dem Ziel, bestmögliche Untersuchungs- und Behandlungsergebnisse zu erreichen.
