Radiation diagnostics of the state of ventilation and pulmonary circulation in patients with COPD by O. S. Sementsov, S. V. Stepanenko

“…It is believed that in the initial stages of COPD, when spirometry and clinical data do not reveal abnormalities, radiological diagnosis is more sensitive than functional tests. Among the modern methods of radiological diagnosis of lung diseases - the method of CT today is the most sensitive and specific method of detecting pathological changes in the lung parenchyma and respiratory tract, it is available and widely used in everyday practice. …”

Comparison of acoustic recorders and field observers for monitoring tundra bird communities by Skyler T. Vold, Colleen M. Handel, Lance B. McNew

“…Models indicated that relative abundance of various avian guilds was associated primarily with maximum shrub height and less so with shrub cover and visual obstruction. The absence of a significant interaction between survey method (observer vs. acoustic recorder) and any habitat characteristic suggests that traditional point counts and acoustic recorders would yield similar inferences about ecological relationships in tundra ecosystems. …”
