Comprehensive Aphasia Test

Comprehensive Aphasia Test

The Comprehensive Aphasia Test (CAT) is a test for use with people who have acquired aphasia that can be completed over one or two assessment sessions. The test includes a user manual a cognitive screen and language battery and a scoring booklet which are all unchanged since the previous edition and - new to this release - a concise Aphasia Impact Questionnaire which replaces the Disability Questionnaire. The cognitive section assesses people's abilities across a range of task that can affect rehabilitation. Forming the main body of the test the language battery provides a profile of performance across all modalities of language production and comprehension. The Aphasia Impact Questionnaire is a pictorial Patient Reported Outcome Measure which produces both qualitative and quantitative information. It was co-produced with people with aphasia. It supports the person with aphasia to give a subjective rating of how language difficulties identified in the Language Battery affect their daily life enabling first steps towards goal setting. By capturing this information the CAT helps the therapist track changes over the course of recovery and provides a guide to likely outcomes on the basis of an early assessment. The first two sections of the CAT are supported by normative data on people both with and without aphasia and extensive data on reliability and clinical validity. The CAT allows users to: Identify underlying impairments Find where to focus assessments using PALPA and other batteries Ascertain the practical psychological and social impact of aphasia from the perceptive of the person with aphasia Create a profile of strengths and weaknesses to guide therapy. Structured around fully up-to-date models of language assessment from cognitive neuropsychology to patient reported outcome measures test is an indispensable resource for speech and language therapists and researchers. It provides as much information about people's language ability as possible in a relatively brief test designed to be completed in 90-120 minutes. Additional scoring booklets can be ordered in packs of 10 at https://www. routledge. com/Comprehensive-Aphasia-Test-Scoring-Book-pack-of-10/Swinburn-Porter-Howard/p/book/ 9781032128177

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

For more than 30 years soil testing has been widely used as a basis for determining lime and fertilizer needs. Today a number of procedures are used for determining everything from soil pH and lime requirement to the level of extractable nutrient elements. And as the number of cropped fields being tested increases more and more farmers and growers will come to rely on soil test results. But if soil testing is to be an effective means of evaluating the fertility status of soils standardization of methodology is essential. No single test is appropriate for all soils. Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods is a standard laboratory technique manual for the most commonly used soil analysis procedures. First published in 1974 this Handbook has changed over the years to reflect evolving needs. New test methods and modifications have been added as well as new sections on nitrate heavy metals and quality assurance plans for agricultural testing laboratories. Compiled by the Soil and Plant Analysis Council this latest edition of Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods also addresses the major methods for managing plant nutrition currently in use in the United States and other parts of the world. For soil scientists farmers growers or anyone with an interest in the environment this reference will prove an invaluable guide to standard methods for soil testing well into the future. Features

Characterization of Nanocomposites Technology and Industrial Applications

Characterization of Nanocomposites Technology and Industrial Applications

These days advanced multiscale hybrid materials are being produced in the industry studied by universities and used in several applications. Unlike for macromaterials it is difficult to obtain the physical mechanical electrical and thermal properties of nanomaterials because of the scale. Designers however must have knowledge of these properties to perform any finite element analysis or durability and damage tolerance analysis. This is the book that brings this knowledge within easy reach. What makes the book unique is the fact that its approach that combines multiscale multiphysics and statistical analysis with multiscale progressive failure analysis. The combination gives a very powerful tool for minimizing tests improving accuracy and understanding the effect of the statistical nature of materials in addition to the mechanics of advanced multiscale materials all the way to failure. The book focuses on obtaining valid mechanical properties of nanocomposite materials by accurate prediction and observed physical tests as well as by evaluation of test anomalies of advanced multiscale nanocomposites containing nanoparticles of different shapes such as chopped fiber spherical and platelet in polymeric ceramic and metallic materials. The prediction capability covers delamination fracture toughness impact resistance conductivity and fire resistance of nanocomposites. The methodology employs a high-fidelity procedure backed with comparison of predictions with test data for various types of static fatigue dynamic and crack growth problems. Using the proposed approach a good correlation between the simulation and experimental data is established. | Characterization of Nanocomposites Technology and Industrial Applications

Systems Engineering Simplified

Designed to give non-engineers an understanding of systems engineering Systems Engineering Simplified presents a gentle introduction to the subject and its importance in any profession. The book shows you how to look at any system as a whole and use this knowledge to gain a better understanding of where a system might break down how to troubleshoot the issues and then quickly resolve them. And does it all in a way that does not require sophisticated technical training or complicated mathematics. The book takes a holistic approach to thinking about the complex systems providing a deeper understanding of the underlying nature of the system and the vocabulary of systems engineering. The authors give you working knowledge of the processes used to design build test operate and maintain the systems that we depend on every day. They break down the systems engineering life cycle describing in the simplest terms what should be done along the development process. Although there are many facets of systems engineering it can be explained as focusing on addressing why a system is needed what the system must do and then how the system will accomplish the task over the entire life of the system—in that order. This fundamental review covers the processes from beginning to end in plain language giving you an overview of systems engineering that you can translate into your work in any field.
