Appear Lean and Thin With Effective Liposuction Techniques
Excess fat appears uncouth at all times and the good news is that you now have a chance to get rid of it all with liposuction techniques. It is fast, it is easy, and it will give you the desired results without many issues as well. It involves fat removal from your body using a hollow metal tube. The doctors will use a pump for sucking out this excess lipid and you will start feeling lighter and more confident. The instrument used here is the canula and it assists in the majority of the process.
Not all of us have the time or the inclination to cut off calories drastically and start living a fully healthy life. Doctors will suggest liposuction to patients for whom the excess weight has become a big problem. If it threatens your health, movements, and life in general, you need to take drastic measures immediately to get rid of this. Such medical procedures bring a hope in the life of people who do not have any.
Your budget can determine the type of the procedure that you will finally undergo. The costs will depend on the part of the body from where the doctors will need to take out the fat. Procedure related to your stomach area, generally costs the most. Many women choose liposuction for reducing their breast size. Larger breasts appear sagging and their overall posture and appearance suffers as a result. Through removal of excess fat, it is possible to improve the figure and look good in all kinds of clothes.
No wonder, this is a popular procedure just like breast augmentation, another commonly used collection technique. Besides the stomach and the breasts, the surgeons may also remove fat from your leg region, back region, and the thigh area. Those related to your face involves cheek and chin liposuction as well. During the surgery, the doctors will use ultrasound generator for removal of fat.
The most efficient surgeons make the procedure as comfortable as possible for you and it gets over quite quickly. Those who want to ensure the safety board during the procedure and later with speedy recovery should stay away from alcohol and cigarettes from some months prior. Your physician will of course consider your health situation before suggesting and recommending the procedure.
It uses general anesthesia but these days many healthcare providers also choose to offer local anesthesia to their patients. This is especially for the laser procedures that have improved the speed and made the recovery faster than ever before. Less painful, your body will also leap back fast after the laser surgery. The laser remains attached to canula and as such is great for treating skin laxity and fat deposits from various body parts.
The function of the laser is breaking down of fat cells of your body so that it will absorb it via natural processes. For effective surgical techniques as liposuction or breast implants in Los Angeles, visit the website Mikoplasticsurgery.com.

A staff of hotel Oberoi on Wednesday told a special court hearing the Mumbai attacks case that he was held hostage by two of the terrorists and was forced to set afire furnitures in a restaurant at gunpoint after which he escaped from their clutches.
Recounting the horrific incident on November 26 last, the eyewitness, Pradeep Ramamurthy Manglorkar, said he was on duty at Kandhar restaurant of the hotel on the ill-fated day when he and other staff members heard sound of firing.
"We came out and saw two gunmen firing outside another restaurant "Tiffin". Immediately, we returned and closed the main door of our restaurant while asking the guests to leave from the rear door," the witness told Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam.
"Just then the terrorists fired at our door and barged into the restaurant holding AK-47 guns in their hands. 'Do not move', they said, and took me and another staff member, Jordan Pereira, hostage. By then others -- staff members and guests -- had escaped from the back door," the witness said.
The duo asked both hostages to pour liquor on tables and flung a lighter at Jordan asking him to set them afire. When the lighter failed to work, one of the terrorists shouted saying "hurry up, use the match box we do not have much time".
Jordan followed the instructions and torched the tables but the matchbox slipped from his hands and he sustained burn injuries. He cried and told gunmen mera hath jal gaya (my hands are burnt). They were angry and fired three rounds at Jordan and he collapsed, the witness said.

Tinnitus is the perception of a sound that has no external source. Just about anything that can cause hearing loss can also cause tinnitus. They require professional help to reduce their stress and improve their coping abilities. None of these responses are wrong. A small minority of implant recipients get tinnitus after receiving a cochlear implant. Tinnitus is sound in the head with no external source. Most tinnitus is subjective, meaning that only you can hear the noise. Hearing loss is a risk factor for tinnitus, and the prevalence increases to 33 in individuals aged over 60 years. This may be due to the common notion that if a specific cause of tinnitus is not found, effective treatment is unavailable; the patient will therefore, have to live with their symptoms. Therefore, the individual with both untreated tinnitus and untreated hearing loss would be expected to experience a greater impact on their health and psychological well-being compared to individuals with only tinnitus or only hearing loss. A hearing aid is a small electronic device that you wear in or behind your ear.
The aim of fitting hearing aids is to correct any such hearing loss with the possibility that this may help reduce the tinnitus. Some studies have looked at the effect of hearing aids on every-day life for the tinnitus patient e.g. how a hearing aid may help reduce tinnitus and improve quality of life. There has been some research on this with a small number of patients, but further work is required to single out the benefit from that given purely by amplification. Moreover, tinnitus has been found to have many of the same negative effects as hearing loss. There is no universally effective tinnitus treatment, but a number of treatment methods have been demonstrated to alleviate the negative effects of tinnitus. Thus, many people with diagnosed and acknowledged hearing loss may still require additional enticement to seek out a hearing aid solution. Otosclerosis is a condition of the middle ear and mainly affects the tiny stirrup (stapes) bone. To have normal hearing, the ossicles need to be able to move freely in response to sound waves. Both ears are usually affected in otosclerosis but sometimes only one ear is affected. The operation may not cure tinnitus, and will not improve hearing in the small number of cases which affect the cochlea.
Tinnitus is a noise such as a ringing or buzzing that you can hear, but the noise does not come from outside your ear. In a small number of cases there is an underlying cause which may be corrected. If you have any deafness, even just a slight hearing loss, a hearing aid may help. If you become particularly anxious or become depressed it is best to see a doctor for advice on treatment. Practically, as there is only a tiny proportion of the population with objective tinnitus, this method of categorizing tinnitus is rarely of any help. Logically, anticonvulsants might be useful for treatment. If the pulsation is arterial, these tests have no effect. Hearing aids may also improve tinnitus symptoms by reducing or reversing abnormal types of nerve cell activity that are thought to be related to tinnitus. We particularly wanted to look at how bothersome their tinnitus is, how depressed or anxious tinnitus patients are and whether hearing aid use has an effect on patterns of brain activity thought to be associated with tinnitus. The result from the single study we reviewed was not definitive and was compatible with only small differences between the effect of hearing aids and sound generators. Whilst hearing aids are sometimes prescribed as part of tinnitus management, there is currently no evidence to support or refute their use as a more routine intervention for tinnitus.
Over 50 million Americans have experienced tinnitus or head noises, which is the perception of sound without an external source being present. Most tinnitus is primary tinnitus, where no cause can be identified aside from hearing loss. Damage and loss of the tiny sensory hair cells in the inner ear (that can be caused by different factors such as noise damage, medications, and age) may be commonly associated with the presence of tinnitus. Hearing loss is often intermittent, occurring mainly at the time of the attacks of vertigo. Tinnitus and fullness of the ear may come and go with changes in hearing, occur during or just before attacks, or be constant. Endolymphatic sac surgery does not improve hearing, but only has a small risk of worsening it. Tinnitus Treatment, Cause of Tinnitus, A Tinnitus Cure and ear ringing. Tinnitus is commonly associated with noise-induced hearing loss. Being told there was no help only fueled her anxiety. But, prozac may have a small tinnitus side effect for a few people that is larger than placebo, granted not significant, but I'm conservative. Patients with hearing loss and tinnitus may find relief from the use of hearing aids and other sound amplification devices. Hearing aids are small electronic devices worn in or behind the ear. In Picture B, the person has been fitted with a hearing aid, and the background is clear and rich in detail. Cochlear implants are generally available only to patients who are fully deaf in both ears. A small percentage of tinnitus cases arise from medical conditions. If a patient has a hearing loss and the tinnitus is in the medium or low pitches, often a hearing aid will provide relief. It is also well established that Lidocaine, an anesthetic, offers complete or partial tinnitus relief for a large number of patients. Symptoms of damage to this joint (located just below the ear) include tinnitus, jaw-clicking and ear pain. People with tinnitus are usually told that they just have to live with it; there is no medical cure for tinnitus. The ear's ability to adjust and balance the fluid pressure in the inner chambers is impeded if the stapedius muscle, a tiny muscle in the middle ear, is not fully functional. I recently had a hearing test and I have no hearing loss or hyperaccusis!
Despite the high prevalence of tinnitus and its obvious impact on the psychological health of the patient, only a small number of people contact physicians or hearing care professionals for help. Nearly everyone with tinnitus also has a hearing loss. Fortunately only a small proportion of tinnitus sufferers experience symptoms that are debilitating enough that they feel they cannot function normally. But even if it does not cause debilitating symptoms, for many tinnitus still causes a number of disruptive effects such as sleep interference, difficulty concentrating, anxiety, frustration and depression (Tyler & Baker, 1983; Stouffer & Tyler, 1990; Axelsson, 1992; Meikle 1992; Dobie, 2004). Few studies investigating the use of hearing aids for tinnitus management have considered the perceived pitch of the tinnitus or the prescriptive method of the hearing aids (Shekhawat et al. Editor: As you probably know, there is currently no cure for tinnitus. One such treatment that is often overlooked is hearing aids, as discussed in this press release from the folks at the Better Hearing Institute. Despite the high prevalence of tinnitus and the disruption it can cause, only a small number of sufferers contact their physicians or an audiologist for help. What's more, nearly everyone with tinnitus has hearing loss as well. Otosclerosis involves the small bones of the middle ear, the malleus (2), the incus (3) and the stapes (4), as well as the bone that surrounds the inner ear, which is called the otic capsule. Tinnitus appears to improve following surgical intervention in a number of cases, since the conductive hearing deprivation produced by otosclerosis is associated with limited and reversible modifications in the central auditory pathway that are linked to tinnitus (Deggouj et al 2009). To date, the only proposed medical treatment has been sodium fluoride, which is a dietary supplement (not a drug).
However to this day, no precise treatment has been identified. Aetna considers tinnitus instruments (e.g., maskers, hearing aids, or combination of maskers and hearing aids) experimental and investigational for the management of members with tinnitus because the effectiveness of these instruments has not been demonstrated in randomized controlled studies with large sample size and long-term follow-up evaluation. Subjective tinnitus, which is more common, is audible only to the patient. These researchers noted that a small number of studies have suggested that TMS may be effective in the treatment of tinnitus. It is unclear if the improved reaction times were caused by tinnitus reduction or a general effect of rTMS.

I've decided to take a challenge of blogging for 31 days straight! My life is busy but I really want to get back to blogging on a regular basis so I'm hoping this challenge will set the stage for blogging more often! I've thought through a zillion options to blog about for 31 straight days but I've settled on… 31 Days from my Home Front! For so long I had to keep so much of my home and kids off the bloggy world because of our adoption/security reasons but I really want to give you a view into my home, what's going on with us. I'll be of course still doing projects, devotionals but just adding more! Hope you will follow along!
For Day 1 from my Home Front…
We have begun Homeschool! I feel like we are 2 months behind beginning in October but we aren't going to break for fall and we are probably going to school year around so I think we're doing okay! My Kids LOVE being schooled at home! They hated when school ended so we don't really end school until bedtime. It officially starts each morning with a little bell but never officially ends until bedtime :). I want them to have their formal education but also realize that they can learn everywhere and anywhere and to enjoy learning through natural environments and activities!
Here's our first day pictures!
Linking up to The Nester's 31 Days :).

The present invention relates to methods and systems for analyzing signaling link utilization. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods and systems for automated analysis of signaling link utilization.
In telecommunications networks, signaling links carry signaling messages between signaling nodes. In modern telecommunications networks, the signaling links are separate from the media trunks used to carry media communications between end users. The signaling messages that traverse the signaling links include messages used to set up and tear down calls, database queries and responses, and network management messages.
Due to the vital function performed by signaling links in telecommunications networks, it is desirable to ensure that signaling links are available at all times to send and receive signaling message traffic. For example, a DSO link is capable of carrying data at 56 kilobits per second. 56 kilobits per second translates into 7,000 bytes per second. In order to ensure that a signaling link does not become congested, networks are typically engineered such that signaling links are 40% loaded. Using the DSO link as an example, this means that a DSO link is typically engineered to carry 40% of 7000 or 2800 bytes per second. Assuming an average message size of 40 bytes, a DSO signaling link engineered for 40% capacity can carry 70 messages per second.
While engineering signaling links for 40% or other capacity is a good practice, sudden bursts of signaling messages or network management messages may cause a link to become congested and temporarily unavailable to carry signaling message traffic. Since such a situation is undesirable, service providers use network monitoring systems to analyze signaling link utilization and determine causes of over-utilization of signaling links.
One problem with conventional network monitoring systems is that analyzing signaling link utilization requires a user to identify a signaling link that has become congested and to manually search through signaling message data to determine the cause of the signaling link congestion. For example, link utilization applications typically display link utilization information for a plurality of different signaling links on a single display screen. In order to diagnose a signaling link utilization problem, a user must manually identify the signaling link that caused the problem and the time period over which the problem occurred from the link utilization application. The user must then terminate the link utilization application and execute a protocol analysis application. Using the protocol analysis application, the user must input the parameters associated with the signaling link of interest and the time period and extract the corresponding messages from a signaling message database. Such a manual link utilization diagnosis process is labor-intensive and subject to user errors.
Accordingly, there exists a need for improved methods and systems for automated analysis of signaling link utilization.
The present invention includes methods and systems for automated analysis of signaling link utilization. According to one exemplary method, signaling messages are copied from a plurality of different signaling links and stored in a database. Link utilization data is derived from the data in the database and displayed to a user in graphical format via a computer display device. The user analyzes the graphical data and selects, using a user input device, a portion of the link utilization data that the user desires to analyze. Based on the portion of the link utilization data selected by the user, signaling message data corresponding to the selected portion is automatically extracted from the message database. In one implementation, the user can launch a protocol analysis application from a link utilization screen simply by clicking on the link utilization data of interest using a mouse. The signaling message data is then displayed to the user. The user can use the signaling message data to determine the cause of the signaling link utilization problem. Thus, signaling link utilization and protocol analysis functions are combined. Because the signaling message data corresponding to the point selected by the user in the link utilization data is automatically extracted from the database and displayed to the user, the time required for analyzing link utilization problems is greatly reduced over conventional manual methods.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide methods and systems for automated analysis of signaling link utilization.
It is another object of the invention to provide a convenient graphical user interface for a user to automatically analyze signaling link utilization data.
It is yet another object of the invention to combine signaling link utilization functions with protocol analysis functions in a network monitoring system.
"The patent or application file contains at least one drawing executed in color. Copies of this patent with color drawing(s) will be provided by the Patent and Trademark Office upon request and payment of necessary fee."
Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings of which:
In the illustrated example, the internal components include message copy functions 108 located on link interface modules 110 and a network monitoring transport card 112. Message copy functions 108 copy signaling messages sent and received over external signaling links. Network monitoring transport card 112 transports messages copied by message copy functions 108 to external network monitoring processors 102.
In addition to network monitoring components, STP 100 includes message routing functions 114 resident on link interface modules 110 and database service functions 116 resident on a database services module 118. Message routing functions 114 route or transfer signaling messages between signaling links. For example, message routing functions 114 may implement MTP level 3 routing for SS7 signaling messages or IP routing for IP signaling messages. Database service functions 116 may perform database-related services for received signaling messages, such as global title translation and number portability lookups.
From a hardware perspective, each of the modules in STP 100 may include a printed circuit board including an application processor and a communications processor mounted thereon. The applications processor may perform signaling message processing functions, such as routing and message copying. The communications processor may control communications between processing modules over a pair of counter rotating, dual ring buses 120.
The external components of the network monitoring system illustrated in
The signaling messages for multiple signaling links may be intermixed in database 122, making analysis using manual methods difficult. In order to avoid this difficulty, network monitoring server 104 includes a link utilization application 128, an automated link utilization analyzer 130, and a user interface 132. Link utilization application 128 analyzes signaling link utilization based on messages stored in database 122 and displays the signaling link utilization to a user in a convenient format, such as a graphical format. The graphical format may include link utilization data for many different signaling links. The user may select a portion of the graph that corresponds to a spike or instance of comparatively high link utilization. Automated link utilization analyzer 130 automatically extracts signaling message data from signaling message database 122 corresponding to the selected link utilization data and displays the signaling message data for the user. In one implementation, automated link utilization analyzer 130 may include a protocol analysis application that can be launched from a link utilization screen displayed by link utilization application 128 in response to the selection by the user. User interface 132 displays the signaling message data to the user via a convenient interface, such as web browser. Because the user can automatically launch a protocol analysis application from a link utilization screen and view the signaling messages that cause link utilization problems, the time required to diagnose utilization problems is decreased over that of conventional manual methods.
In step 202, link utilization data is generated for different signaling links. This function may be performed by link utilization application 128 on network monitoring server 104 based on messages stored in database 122. For example, link utilization application 128 may count the number of signaling messages received per unit time for each signaling link being monitored. The signaling link may be identified by one or more parameters in the signaling message, such as the originating point code (OPC), destination point code (DPC) and circuit identifier code (CIC), or by a link identifier that a message copy function 108 associates with the signaling message.
In one exemplary implementation, message copy functions 108 may encapsulate each copied signaling message in a network monitoring packet that indicates the type and origin of a particular message. One type of packet that may be used is a link data packet. A link data packet includes a header that identifies the card and port on which a particular message was received. The card and port identifiers in the link data message may be used by link utilization analyzer 128 to count messages that traverse a particular signaling link. Exemplary network monitoring packet formats suitable for use with embodiments of the present invention are described in commonly assigned, co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/154,309, filed May 23, 2002, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
In step 204, signaling link utilization data is displayed to a user. The signaling link utilization data may be displayed to the user in any convenient format, such as graphical format or tabular format.
The present invention automates signaling link utilization analysis by allowing the user to automatically launch a protocol analysis application from the link utilization screen. In one implementation, the user is allowed to select link occupancy data from the display of link occupancy data and automatically receive the corresponding signaling message data. Accordingly, in step 204, input from the user is received regarding a portion of the link utilization data desired to be analyzed. In the example illustrated in
Returning to
The present invention is not limited to displaying the signaling message data illustrated in
Although in the embodiment illustrated in
The network monitoring system also includes site collectors 508 for received signaling messages copied from the signaling links and storing the signaling messages copies in signaling message database 122. Site collectors 508 may be implemented using a general purpose computing platform, such as a netrawork station available from SUN Microsystems.
Network monitoring server 104 may include the same components as the corresponding network monitoring server illustrated in
In operation, network monitoring shelves 500 copy signaling messages received on the access signaling links. Site collectors 508 receive the signaling message copies and store the signaling messages in databases 122. Link utilization application 124 accesses the messages in databases 122 and displays link utilization data, similar to that illustrated in
Thus, as described herein, the present invention includes methods and systems for automated signaling link utilization analysis. Rather than requiring the user to separately analyze link utilization and signaling message data, the present invention automates this process by linking signaling link utilization data with signaling message data in an automated manner. Because this data can be linked and displayed to the user in a convenient format, the time required for diagnosing signaling link utilization problems is reduced.
It will be understood that various details of the invention may be changed without departing from the scope of the invention. Furthermore, the foregoing description is for the purpose of illustration only, and not for the purpose of limitation—the invention being defined by the claims.

State Health Improvement Process (SHIP)
The State of Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) introduced the State Health Improvement Process (SHIP) in 2011. The SHIP aligns with a subset of objectives from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Healthy People 2020, a science-based effort for improving the health of all Americans. The Maryland SHIP objectives were selected after reviewing recent state, local, and national plans and indicators, consulting with state officials, meeting with health experts and community leaders, and considering public input. Objectives focus on factors that are most critical for achieving the SHIP's goals of health equity and improving the health of Maryland residents.
Local Health Improvement Process (LHIP)
Recognizing that local energy and leadership are critical for progress in public health, the SHIP asked each jurisdiction in Maryland to initiate a Local Health Improvement Process (LHIP) that identifies local health priorities and proposes improvement action plans, as part of the larger State Health Improvement Process.
Under the direction of our local Health Officer, Carroll County was charged with establishing a Local Health Improvement Coalition as part of the SHIP Process. The Health Officer is a key member of the Board of Directors of The Partnership for a Healthier Carroll County. He asked the Board to take on the responsibility of serving as the Local Health Improvement Coalition. Partnership Board members are well qualified to serve in this role by virtue of experience, skills, record of community involvement, and diverse representation which includes our local hospital, Carroll Hospital – a Lifebridge Health center.
To assist and advise the Coalition in conducting the Local Health Improvement Process, a Local Health Improvement Team (LHIT) was also formed. This group is made up of staff from The Partnership and senior staff from the Carroll County Health Department.
Community Involvement
The direction of the county's health improvement progress is not limited to input from the government agencies and health care providers in our community. All Carroll County citizens are encouraged to participate in the Local Health Improvement Process and attend the Local Health Improvement Team meetings (see LHIT Meeting Schedule, below).
Public participation is also welcomed in meetings of the Local Health Improvement Coalition. The Coalition meets twice a year in conjunction with meetings of The Partnership Board of Directors to assess progress and plan for future actions.
CLICK HERE for the 2017 Local Health Improvement Coalition (LHIC) Meeting Schedule
The next LHIC meeting will be Wednesday, April 19, 2017 from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. (shortened meeting);
From 9:45 – 11:30 a.m. the meeting will continue as a Rural Health Focus Group for health care providers.
Please contact Maggie Kunz to confirm the meeting time and location before attending:
Current Progress
After much work by the Local Health Improvement Team, the Local Health Improvement Coalition approved an action plan with a framework for accountability, local action, and public engagement to advance health in Carroll County. The Carroll County Local Health Improvement Process 2012-2014 summarized the Coalition's proposed activities through 2014. The Action Plan is currently being revised and updated.
To track progress toward the action plan's Local Health Improvement Process objectives, indicators with reliable data sources are being tracked in Our Community Dashboard – CLICK HERE to view. Look for indicators with Maryland SHIP Target tabs.
Local Health Improvement Vision and Mission
Members of the Local Health Improvement Team have created the following Vision and Mission Statements to guide the Local Health Improvement Process:
The Local Health Improvement Coalition of Carroll County will mobilize support to achieve better health in Carroll County.
Local Health Improvement Mission
The Local Health Improvement Coalition of Carroll County will improve the health of all residents with particular attention to communities and sub-groups with health disparities by providing a health improvement framework with support for local action and linked to the State Health Improvement Process.

Understanding Hearing Loss Sounds waves in the environment can produce the sensation of hearing in two ways: air conduction and bone conduction. Hearing, auditory perception, or audition is the ability to perceive sound by detecting vibrations, 1 changes in the pressure of the surrounding medium through time, through an organ such as the ear. The stapes transmits sound waves to the inner ear through the oval window, a flexible membrane separating the air-filled middle ear from the fluid-filled inner ear. Hearing threshold and the ability to localize sound sources are reduced underwater, in which the speed of sound is faster than in air. Underwater hearing is by bone conduction, and localization of sound appears to depend on differences in amplitude detected by bone conduction. A cat can hear high-frequency sounds up to two octaves higher than a human. This pathway, referred to as bone conduction, is increasingly used in headphones that bypass the ear canal and the middle ear. Already one of the pioneers of hearing research, B k sy24 conducted experiments in which he showed that the hearing sensation that is produced through bone conduction can be cancelled by stimulating the ear by an identical, but airborne, signal when its amplitude and phase are chosen carefully. Such headphones allow to listen to environmental sound and, for example, additional information such as navigational directions that are inaudible to others. Although the basilar-membrane and the cochlear-bone wave are clearly distinct, with one wave depending only on the basilar-membrane impedance and the other wave solely on the impedance of the cochlear bone, they couple in two intriguing ways.
There are two types of hearing loss symptoms, conductive and sensorineural. An earache can be caused by infections or fungus. Students learn some ways to investigate the sense of hearing and find out how to plan and conduct their own experiments. Our ears alert us to events in the environment, and they detect that special human form of communication, speech. Our hearing mechanisms accomplish these tasks by sensing sound waves, which are changes in air pressure, and converting these changes into electrical signals that the brain can analyze and interpret. 2. Sensory receptors called hair cells turn air pressure changes into neural signals Just as we do not actually smell with the bumps on our faces called noses, neither do we perceive sound solely with the flaps we call ears. Sound waves are converted into vibrations in a fluid in the inner ear, and these vibrations indirectly move the hair cells, which then send electrical signals to the brain. Increasing amounts of noise in today's environment seems to be the main factor in this skyrocketing number. Hearing is not a sense that you can 'turn off'. We compare the air conduction thresholds to the bone conduction thresholds to determine which part(s) of the ear is responsible for the hearing loss.
Two basic instruments can aid in testing the auditory system: a C512 tuning fork (C256 is adequate but not as sensitive; C128 is inadequate except for testing for hyperacusis and cutaneous and bony vibratory perception), and a mechanical watch (watch-ticking is in the 1,500 cps range). By the way, you notice the effects of ambient sound on hearing acuity when you must talk to a friend at the top of your voice in a noisy, crowded room and then continue talking and walk into a silent room where you find yourselves shouting at each other. If there is neural deafness, both bone conduction and air conduction are equally suppressed. Spontaneous nystagmus is produced by vestibular damage because of the imbalance of inputs from the ears. Hearing can be interrupted in a variety of ways at each of the five steps. These two tracts enter the inner ear canal and unite to form the vestibular nerve, which extends to the vestibular nuclei in the brainstem. Sound waves passing through the external auditory canal strike the tympanic membrane, causing it to vibrate. The outer hair cells can produce more energy than they receive from external stimuli and, by contracting actively at very high frequencies, can function as cochlear amplifiers. Comparison of air and bone conduction allows classification of hearing losses as transmission (involving the external auditory canal or middle ear) or neurosensory loss (involving the inner ear or auditory nerve) (figure 11.

The human ear, like that of other mammals, contains sense organs that serve two quite different functions: that of hearing and that of postural equilibrium and coordination of head and eye movements. The middle ear is a narrow, air-filled cavity in the temporal bone. Where hearing is a function of the ear, listening is a function of the brain. Auditory processing explains what happens between the ear and the brain and describes the way the brain assigns significance and meaning to the sounds in the environment. This adaptive mechanism allows us to make sense of spoken sounds around us and ignore those that are probably irrelevant to our language. Sound can be heard in two different ways, either through air-conduction or bone-conduction. Hearing-passive: ability to sense sound. Listening-active: ability to take in and filter out sound. Auditory Processing- dynamic: what the brain does with what it hears. Casual exposure to auditory stimulation will not produce results. 1. Through the air (air conduction). 2. Through fluids, bone and tissue of the head and body (bone conduction). Sound waves, unlike light, cannot travel through a vacuum, but require some medium, gaseous, liquid or solid, each medium with a different speed of conduction. 8-2. How the threshold of hearing curve (A) is converted to a hearing-loss curve (B). The external auditory meatus certainly acts as a channel for sound to the tympanic membrane, but it also shelters the ear drum and provides a relatively constant environment in terms of temperature and humidity, thus preserving the elasticity of the drum. Sound does not conduct well from air to water or from water to air.
Chapter 6: Vestibular & Auditory
Difficulty in hearing only air conducted sounds results in a separation of the bone and air conduction audiograms – the so-called air-bone gap. By 24 months of age other test strategies can be used based on the child's natural curiosity about objects in the environment. Tactile sensation. Please raise your hand whenever you think you hear a tone, no matter how quiet it is. Look at air conduction at 500 Hz. If the threshold was 10 dB, then we would place the O at the junction of 500 Hz and 10 decibels. This causes a travelling wave identical to that produced by the tone to be received into the cochlea by way of air conduction. Conductive hearing loss is when sound can't reach the inner ear. Two to 3 times as many are born with lesser hearing loss. Hearing deficits in early childhood can result in lifelong impairments in receptive and expressive language skills. In the Rinne test, hearing by bone and by air conduction is compared. How to Treat Nosebleeds (Epistaxis). The final two sections provide references used to produce this chapter and resources for obtaining additional information. Occupational noise can be any sound in any work environment. The frequency, wavelength, and speed of a sound wave are related by the equation. It is characterized by relatively uniformly reduced hearing across all frequencies in tests of the ear, with no reduction during hearing tests that transmit sound through bone conduction.
How does bone conduction work? Audiometry should be performed in a suitable test environment. In practice, a hearing threshold is the lowest intensity of a tone at which 2 out of 3 responses are observed. The client will respond to the sounds depending on the way you have instructed them. Earphones are used to test air conduction hearing thresholds. To produce a waveform, the voltages at each of the electrodes are subtracted from each other by the amplifier. You can try testing in your environment to see how much electrical noise is present in your tracings and adjust the environment accordingly. For a two channel recording, we use Cz which is the top of the head, (or sometimes FPz, which is high forehead) A1 for the left ear and A2 for the right ear. If you are performing bone-conduction ABR, it is best if the electrode and the oscillator are as far apart as possible.

NASHVILLE (AP) All Raheem Brock (FSY) wants is a chance to chase quarterbacks, and he believes the Tennessee Titans will give him his best chance to do just that.
The eight-year veteran signed a one-year contract with Tennessee on Thursday after working out and passing a physical. The Titans had him on the field for practice to help a banged-up unit. Brock had worked out for Houston on Wednesday, but he said Thursday he thinks Tennessee is the best place for someone who spent his career in Indianapolis until now.
"I think I'm in a good situation where I just have to take advantage of it plain and simple," Brock said after practice. "They play a great defensive scheme that fits what I do. Right now I just have to take advantage of it."
The Titans needed the help.
PHOTO GALLERY: Titans training camp
Tennessee lost end William Hayes (FSY) to a sprained right medial collateral ligament in his knee on Tuesday, and he will miss at least two weeks. Tackle Tony Brown (FSY) remains on the physically unable to perform list, and top draft pick Derrick Morgan (FSY) has yet to practice with the full team.
Coach Jeff Fisher said rookie end Marcus Howard (FSY) suffered a triceps injury and had season-ending surgery, so the Titans waived him and will reach an injury settlement with him. The Titans also signed end Chris Harrington (FSY) while releasing receiver Phillip Morris (FSY).
"This is what sometimes happens at this time of training camp," Fisher said. "You have injuries and you have to move people around so you can get to the preseason games."
The Titans open the preseason Saturday night at Seattle. With four preseason games, Brock and Harrington will have their chance to compete.
"It should be enough so they can show us what they can do," Fisher said.
Brock spent his first eight seasons with Indianapolis and has 28 career sacks. But he wasn't happy playing inside at tackle in Indianapolis where he won a Super Bowl ring and asked to be released in March. The 32-year-old lineman found himself waiting and waiting for the chance to join another team until the phone really started ringing this week.
He said the wait was frustrating.
"It's a business. It's how it is. ... My boys Dwight (Freeney) and Robert (Mathis), they're out there and they ball just as hard as anybody else. For me, I was just looking for the opportunity to play end and get to that quarterback like they have," Brock said.
Brock hit the practice field with No. 96, the number that had been worn by Morgan. But the rookie will join Brown in not playing in Seattle as he recovers from a strained left calf. Morgan, the 16th pick overall, said he had been looking to change numbers and now has his sights set on No. 91 and is in negotiations. No. 90, last worn by Jevon Kearse (FSY), is another option.
Tackle Jason Jones (FSY) has worn No. 91 since the Titans drafted him in the second round of the 2008 draft and said he is a little sentimental about that number.
"It might just come down to me keeping it," Jones said.
NOTES: Fisher said LB David Thornton (FSY), who remains on the PUP list, also will not play in Seattle. CB Cortland Finnegan (FSY) (hip flexor), S Vincent Fuller (FSY) (left knee), LB Stanford Keglar (FSY) (hamstring), CB Tye Hill (FSY), S Nick Schommer (FSY) and WR Damian Williams (FSY) will be questionable.

List –
Do any of you have some helpful comments on methods that you use for designing concentric brace – gusset plate connections. Is the Uniform Force Method the preferred solution procedure these days (and all of its 15 (!!!) glorious pages of calcs in the AISC manual). The UFM looks pretty straight forward, but I'm wondering how practical it is. Without explicitly designing and specifying the precise dimensions of each and every gusset plate on a project, how can the UFM equations be applied? The alpha and beta dimensions (weld group centroid) require you to know the exact gusset dimensions.
I have typically just designed the gusset plate welds to take the brace component forces – and also considering the Work Point eccentricities using table 8-38 for eccentric welds. I specify minimum weld size/length and let the steel fabricator work out all of the gusset dimensions for all of the various brace connections, because they are never standard.
Murphy's Law for structural engineers: "Anything that you attempt to specify as typical will always end up different."
