[ E-book ] THE NEUROLOGIC EXAMINATION .pdf

 by DeMyer’s ..... THE NEUROLOGIC EXAMINATION 6th.pdf


This is an excellent book that will be very useful for learning the neurologic examination. It is easy to read, well illustrated, and interactive. The art and science of neurology is constantly evolving and books must stay current with the available literature. This sixth edition provides updated information, illustrations, and references that are necessary to stay relevant to neurology today. 3 Stars.”–Doody’s Review Service

“Excellent. The information is detailed, pertinent, and excellently arranged. What is surprising is the incredibly complete, interesting, and worthwhile information it contains. The author is obviously an excellent clinician and teacher who has taught many years. One can easily detect that [DeMyer’s] book contains the distilled best of his teaching experiences.”
–Archive of Internal Medicine*

“The book presents much more information than the title suggests; it has excellent parts on neuroanatomy and clinical neurosciences.”
–Four Stars (Excellent) from Mayo Clinic Proceedings*

For more than four decades, DeMyer’s The Neurologic Examination has provided neurologists and psychiatrists in training with a uniquely clear and didactic way of learning the complicated technique of using the physical examination to diagnose neurologic illness. This trusted classic also reviews the anatomy and physiology necessary to interpret the examination, and it details the laboratory tests best suited for a particular clinical problem.

Utilizing a proven-effective, learn-at-your-own-pace teaching approach, DeMyer’s allows you to work through real-life clinical situations and rehearse the skills and procedures that make the neurologic examination productive for both patient and clinician. You will also learn how to tailor the exam for different clinical needs, including:

    The Unconscious Patient
    The Face and Head
    Vision
    The Peripheral Ocular Motor System
    The Central Ocular Motor System
    Cerebellar Dysfunction
    The Somatic Motor System
    The Special Senses

DeMyer’s The Neurologic Examination features a new full-color presentation that includes the latest imaging modalities for assessing disease, questions and answers to help you monitor your progress, and content that reflects the knowledge and experience of outstanding teachers/clinicians.

[ E-BOOK ] Reinforced Concrete: Theory and Practice

 Reinforced Concrete: Theory and Practice
by Frederick Rings

Publisher: Batsford 1910
ISBN/ASIN: B003YRIXLY
Number of pages: 252

Description:
The author's principal object in writing this book was not to put forward any particular method of construction, but to collect in a concise form what seemed to him best of the many formulae and systems used in various countries, and to deal with the subject in such a manner as to be intelligible to average students of architecture who have not been required to devote that amount of study to the theory of construction which is demanded of the young engineer.

Electronics phone locker

Phone locker
Building a electronics phone lock is so easy. Any one can build it their home by the help of few electronics components. The phone locker is very simple to construct and can be housed in a small plastic cabinet of the size of a match box. Only you have to connect it in the phone as shown in the circuit diagram.
PART LIST
PARTS LIST Telephone     -
Resistor     220 K
LED     GREEN
LED     RED
Capacitor     1 400V
Switch     SP

Description
When the handset is removed from cradle of the telephone, one of the LEDs lights up, indicating that the phone is not dead. And on dialling required number, the LEDs start flickering, indicating that the number is being dialled. This way one can  detect whether someone is misusing the phone from the wires going outside the house.

Once the ringing tone reaches the caller and the caller lifts his own handset, the other LED lights up indicating that the call is matured. For differentiation, two different coloured LEDs have been used. This happens due to reversal of the polarity of voltage in the exchange wires. When switch is moved to ‘off position, the capacitor is introduced in the circuit. In this position the phone becomes for the outgoing calls but the incoming calls regularly come through the capacitor, i.e. you can listen to the voice of the caller but they cannot listen to your voice. So, to enable the incoming calls, the switch should be moved to ‘on’ position and the conversation made as usual.

In this way you can build the electronics phone lock in your home.
