Abstract

Reviews from the First Edition "Nigel Daw has written an outstanding book that provides a much-needed summary and synthesis of the impressive recent advances in the experimental study of disorders of visual development ¦Professor Daw's book is unique for its succinct yet thorough coverage of these complex topics. This book excels at distilling the results from many studies in a manner that should greatly facilitate exchange of information between the clinical and basic sciences. The book is written at a level that is appropriate both for the beginner in the field and the expert ¦Basic scientists will gain an appreciation for the range of clinical aspects of human developmental visual disorders and clinicians will find a convenient and readable summary of the current state of knowledge of the physiological basis of visual system development." Reprinted from American Orthoptic Journal Volume 46 (1996). Review by J.N. Ver Hoeve with permission from The University of Wisconsin Press. "...Research on visual development now spans a wide variety of disciplines encompassing biochemistry, anatomy, electrophysiology, psychophysics, clinical ophthalmology, and other related topics. It is difficult to present a thorough overview of such a broad range of topics in a simple, concise manner. However, Nigel Daw has masterfully accomplished this task in his book. It is well organized, informative, easy to read, and enjoyable." Reprinted from American Journal of Ophthalmology, V121(2), Book Reviews, 1996, with permission from Elsevier.

Abstract

Le droghe vegetali, a differenza dei farmaci di sintesi (o artificiali), contengono più sostanze farmacologicamente attive: tra queste si stabiliscono dei sinergismi e degli antagonismi che caratterizzano l’azione terapeutica del preparato vegetale (fitoterapico). Tuttavia, per molte droghe vegetali queste interazioni non sono state ancora del tutto chiarite e tuttora se ne ignora il meccanismo d’azione. Non lasciamoci però travolgere dal pregiudizio che tutto ciò che non è spiegabile con le teorie correnti è eretico. Questo volume sintetizza nozioni di fitoterapia; l'intento è di offrire al medico delle conoscenze essenziali affinché possa agevolmente prescrivere prodotti vegetali e di stimolare farmacista ed erborista ad impiegarli in modo più razionale.

Abstract

One of the grand challenges for computational intelligence and biometrics is to understand how people process and recognize faces and to develop automated and reliable face recognition systems. Biometrics has become the major component in the complex decision making process associated with security applications. The face detection and authentication challenges addressed include cluttered environments, image variability, occlusion and disguise, and temporal changes all within open set recognition. Reliable Face Recognition Methods: System Design, Implementation and Evaluation comprehensively explores the face recognition problem while drawing inspiration from complementary disciplines such as neurosciences, statistics, signal and image processing, computer vision, and machine learning and pattern recognition. This book also examines the evolution of face recognition research and explores promising new avenues for research and development. Reliable Face Recognition Methods: System Design, Implementation and Evaluation benefits graduate-level students, researchers, and practitioners, as well as government and industry decision makers in the security arena. Ruud Bolle (IBM): "Harry Wechsler’s monograph provides a thorough, up-to-date, and in-depth overview of the many advances in the area of face recognition. …gives an excellent overview of the issues related to security and privacy when it comes to automated biometrics. In summary, this book has the potential to become a classic. Harry Wechsler is to be commended for undertaking the monumental task of writing this book." John Daugman (Cambridge University, UK): "The book looks excellent. The topic is timely, and the perspective—multi-disciplinary, measured, and objective – is much needed and welcome. I believe that Wechsler's latest book will make a valued contribution to this important field and will become a standard." David Zhang (Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China): "From a system view, this book shows an excellent arrangement, from data collection to face recognition, as well as system performance evaluation and error analysis. This book can serve both as an interdisciplinary text and a research reference. Each chapter provides the background and impetus for understanding the problems discussed." Stan Li (Chinese Academy of Sciences, China): "The book treats the subject of face recognition in a fairly systematic way. The book covers most relevant topics in face recognition, in a well organized way. The information is also useful for experts. The manuscript is easy to read." Tom Huang (University of Illinois, USA): "Harry Wechsler is without doubt one of the leading authorities in face recognition and related topics. We have recently seen a number of excellent edited books on Face Recognition. However, Wechsler's book is the first unified treatment of this important subject. In my opinion, Wechsler is one of only a handful of people in the world who could write such a comprehensive, unified, informative, perceptive, and authoritative book on Face Recognition. Harry Wechsler so far, is the only one of this handful who took the time and effort to realize such a project. The book certainly will have a great positive impact on the biometrics research community. But also, because it looks at Face Recognition from different perspectives, it will be welcomed by non-experts.".

Abstract

Although the sensory organs-particularly the eye and ear-are of great clinical importance, the lecture time allocated to them in the anatomical curricula is limited because of their great nomenclatural and physiological complexity. Sufficiently detailed descriptions can usually be found only in multivolume handbooks or in specialist monographs covering a single sensory organ. In Atlas of the Sensory Organs: Functional and Clinical Anatomy, a panel of expert medical educators and internationally renowned comparative and developmental neuroanatomists concisely, but thoroughly, describe the five main human sensory systems together with their neural pathways, from primary sensation to processing by the brain. The authors provide a detailed anatomical survey of each sensory organ, covering their ontogeny (development), central pathways, and functional mechanisms. The organs themselves are richly illustrated with light and electron microscopic representations of healthy and intact organs or tissues, except where pathology is directly relevant to understanding normal structure and function. Highlights include microanatomy and endoscopic images of the temporal bone, human embryonic specimens demonstrating the histology of the developing ear, and scanning electron micrographs of the organ of Corti and the vestibular receptors. There are also easy-to-use tables providing an overview of the nerves and arteries of the eye and orbit, and clinical specimens of the eye and optic pathways. A companion compact disk contains high-resolution copies of the color illustrations used in the book. Comprehensive and richly illustrated, Atlas of the Sensory Organs: Functional and Clinical Anatomy provides a detailed portrait of all the sensory organs and related neural systems in a single volume replete with high-quality illustrations of original specimens, recordings, and numerous schematic drawings.

Abstract

With 308 case studies, coupled with more than 370 ultrasound images, Roger P. Harrie’s Clinical Ophthalmic Echography is an indispensable practical guide on how to use ultrasound quickly and reliably to identify eye disorders. This manual serves not only as an excellent procedural review, but also as a great "how-to" for clinicians new to ultrasound. Chapters cover an array of ocular and orbital problems with which a patient may present, including vitreo-retinal disease, anterior segment problems, vascular lesions, and swollen discs. Dr. Harrie draws upon his broad experience in the ophthalmologic field and imparts his expertise in chapters that range from the evaluation of the painful eye, to basic principles of ultrasound, to echography in developing countries. The varied case studies contained within the chapters include a spectrum of patients across ages and clinical conditions. The studies illuminate the accuracy with which echography both images intraocular and orbital structures and gives valuable information on the status of the lens, vitreous, retina, choroid, sclera, and orbital structures. The book also illustrates how ultrasound is used for diagnostic purposes when pathology is clinically visible, such as differentiating iris and ciliary body lesions, ruling out choroidal and retinal detachments, differentiating intraocular tumors, evaluating serous versus hemorrhagic choroidal detachments, and determining the cause of the proptotic eye. Throughout, the book emphasizes that echography is a cost effective and practical extension of the clinician’s diagnostic capability. An extensive display of A-scan images illustrates the valuable addition this modality provides to the more familiar B-scan pictures. With its case-based approach, concise procedural instruction, and extensive references, this practical manual will prove invaluable in the busy clinical setting.
