Tinnitus treatment: clinical protocols/ [edited by] Richard S. Tyler, Ann Perreau
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index"Since publication of the first edition in 2005, new developments have impacted the treatment paradigm for tinnitus, such as sensory meditation and mindfulness. Tinnitus Treatment: Clinical Protocols, Second Edition, by world-renowned tinnitus experts and distinguished authors Richard S. Tyler and Ann Perreau provides comprehensive background information, up-to-date strategies, essential tools, and online supplementary materials grounded in years of clinical experience and research. It fills a gap in graduate education and available materials to empower audiologists to effectively treat patients suffering from bothersome to severely debilitating symptoms associated with tinnitus or hyperacusis"--Neurophysiological Models, Psychological Models, and Treatments for Tinnitus / Phillip E.

Ann Arbor, Michigan: An Historical Analysis Of Board Of Education Decisions On School Desegregation Issues.
No full textPurpose of the Study. This study focused on the history of the Ann Arbor Public School System's desegregation and school attendance decisions, from the Brown decision to the present. The purpose was to write an historical analysis of Board of Education decisions regarding racial balance and imbalance in Ann Arbor Public Schools. Specifically, the Board of Education, the administration, and the community were studied concerning four historically relevant decisions: (1) The closing of Jones School in 1965; (2) New building sites in the years 1965-1976; (A) Bryant/Clinton; (B) Logan/Northside; (3) Employment practices; i.e., hiring of and placement of minority staff, 1969-1978; and (4) The busing of North Campus children, 1970-1978. Methodology. Background information on school desegregation in three perspectives was first presented. This included historical information, research findings on methods and results of school desegregation, and a study of local Michigan districts which have undergone court-enforced desegregation. Four questions were developed to provide a focus for historical analysis of the Ann Arbor Board of Education's decisions: (1) What was the situational environment in which each decision was made by the Board of Education? (2) How did the community react to the Board of Education's decision? (3) Was the effect of each decision more or less segregation in the Ann Arbor Public Schools? (4) Did choices or options exist to the Board of Education at the time of the decision which would have possibly resulted in a less segregated situation? Findings. In all instances of new school openings, more rather than less segregation followed the Board's decision. The Jones School closing was found to be the last major decision that led to purposeful desegregation. Placement of academic staff, in particular, added to the inbalance in several elementary schools. In the 1977-78 school year, the Michigan State Board of Education categorized Ann Arbor's school system as racially imbalanced, and requested action on the part of local authorities to rectify this situation within 90 days. The Ann Arbor Board's progress toward the achievement of voluntary desegregation has included the appointment of a citizens' committee. The author concludes that the Board's voluntary commitment to take action to improve racial balance is a wise and proper course of action, since possible implications of past actions could be used in a court case against the system.PhDBilingual educationEducationUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

Hyperacusis group educational sessions (Perreau et al., 2019)
No full textPurpose: Audiologists should be treating hyperacusis patients. However, it can be difficult to know where to begin because treatment protocols and evidence-based treatment studies are lacking. A good place to start in any tinnitus and hyperacusis clinic is to incorporate a group educational session.Method: Here, we outline our approach to establishing a hyperacusis group educational session that includes specific aspects of getting to know each patient to best meet their needs, understanding the problems associated with hyperacusis, explaining the auditory system and the relationship of hyperacusis to hearing loss and tinnitus, describing the influence of hyperacusis on daily life, and introducing treatment options. Subjective responses from 11 adults with hyperacusis, who participated in a recent clinical group education session, were discussed to illustrate examples from actual patients.Conclusions: Due to the devastating nature of hyperacusis, patients need to be reassured that they are not alone and that they can rely on audiologists to provide support and guidance. A group approach can facilitate the therapeutic process by connecting patients with others who are also affected by hyperacusis, and by educating patients and significant others on hyperacusis and its treatment options.Supplemental Material S1.

I remember living at Seabrook, 1945-1953
No full textIn this "I remember" memoir, Ann Mariko Lowe recalls life at Seabrook, which introduced her to many new experiences, including Halloween traditions. She remembers the living conditions in the dorms at Seabrook, where there was little privacy, and poor facilities. Afterwards, her family moved to the apartments, where they were able to form close bonds with other Japanese families. This was especially helpful with expenses. Ann also played basketball at the Community Center, attended Bible study classes, and was a student at Seabrook School. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms

Application of back-propagation artificial neural network (ANN) to predict crystallite size and band gap energy of ZnO quantum dots
No full textHerein, the crystallite size and band gap energy of zinc oxide (ZnO) quantum dots were predicted using artificial neural network (ANN). Three input factors including reagent ratio, growth time, and growth temperature were examined with respect to crystallite size and band gap energy as response factors. The generated results from neural network model were then compared with the experimental results. Experimental crystallite size and band gap energy of ZnO quantum dots were measured from TEM images and absorbance spectra, respectively. The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm was used as the learning algorithm for the ANN model. The performance of the ANN model was then assessed through mean square error (MSE) and regression values. Based on the results, the ANN modelling results are in good agreement with the experimental data. © 2017 Author(s)
