159 good understanding of the placement of the transducer and changes in patient position to highlight certain features. Like the first edition published six years earlier, this is an excellent, well-written volume of use to the clinician as well as to the ultrasound technician. With its expanded treatment of findings and interpretations, it furnishes a good replacement for its predecessor. How...

ANCHOR is an integrated memory-based scaling model that accounts for a wide range of phenomena in category rating and absolute identification. The model uses anchors stored in memory that serve as prototypes for each response category. The stimuli are represented by magnitudes. Two alternative formulations of the magnitude variability are considered: additive noise, which leads to logarithmic s...

We present a study of 67 Oxford bicompartmental total knee replacements performed at a district general hospital. In this general orthopaedic unit, 57 of the knees (85%) had significant relief of pain with a mean fiexion range of 95#{176} and a mean fiexion deformity of only 9#{176}. There was a noticeable difference between osteoarthritic and rheumatoid knees. Poor results could be directly re...

We have read these books with pleasure. The first is a valuable collection of wide personal experience in the treatment of all phases of the diseases of children.

We know, for instance, why our forefathers made such large and deep incisions, why they amputated so freely, and why they preferred simple circular amputations to the more elaborate, and, as it seemed to us, the better method of cutting flaps. We kno...

Finite mixture models, which are a type of latent variable model, express the overall distribution of one or more variables as a mixture of a finite number of component distributions. In direct applications, one assumes that the overall population heterogeneity with respect to a set of manifest variables results from the existence of two or more distinct homogeneous subgroups, or latent classes...
