Diffusion MRI remains the most comprehensive reference for understanding this rapidly evolving and powerful technology and is an essential handbook for designing, analyzing, and interpreting diffusion MR experiments. Diffusion imaging provides a unique window on human brain anatomy. This non-invasive technique continues to grow in popularity as a way to study brain pathways that could never before be investigated in vivo. This book covers the fundamental theory of diffusion imaging, discusses its most promising applications to basic and clinical neuroscience, and introduces cutting-edge methodological developments that will shape the field in coming years. Written by leading experts in the field, it places the exciting new results emerging from diffusion imaging in the context of classical anatomical techniques to show where diffusion studies might offer unique insights and where potential limitations lie. Fully revised and updated edition of the first comprehensive reference on a powerful technique in brain imaging Covers all aspects of a diffusion MRI study from acquisition through analysis to interpretation, and from fundamental theory to cutting-edge developments New chapters covering connectomics, advanced diffusion acquisition, artifact removal, and applications to the neonatal brain Provides practical advice on running an experiment Includes discussion of applications in psychiatry, neurology, neurosurgery, and basic neuroscience.

This second edition provides detailed information about how to construct, evaluate, and use questionnaires. New to this edition is a chapter on sampling methods, which includes different methods of sampling as well as how to determine an appropriate sample size for reliable results. The author has updated the chapter on reliability and validity to provide more information about other forms of reliability. He also includes a chapter devoted to presenting examples on real customer satisfaction measures and how they can be used. These additions help make this new edition a valuable resource for anyone involved with measuring customer satisfaction. Other topics covered are guidelines for developing questionnaires, the concept of quality, methods to increase response rates, sampling error, and two methods of determining important service or product characteristics as perceived by the customer.

"The Green element method (GEM) is a novel approach of implementing in an element-by-element fashion the singular boundary integral theory, thereby enhancing the capabilities of the theory in terms of ease in solving nonlinear problems, adapting to heterogeneous problems, and achieving spareness in the global coefficient matrix."--BOOK JACKET. "The main objectives of this text are to serve as an instructional material to senior undergraduate and first year graduate students undertaking a course in computational methods and their applications to engineering problems, and as a resource material for research scientists, applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, and engineers who may wish to take these ideas to new frontiers and applications."--BOOK JACKET.
