What Is Temporal Fine Structure and Why Is It Important?

Complex sound like speech can be characterized as the sum of number of amplitude-modulated signals representing the outputs of an array of narrow frequency bands.

What is ventilator-associated pneumonia and why is it important?

Hospital-associated pneumonia (HAP) is one of the most common infections acquired among hospitalized patients. HAP is associated with excess mortality and increased medical care costs.

Ventilator-associ...
