It is an incontestable fact that numerical analysis techniques are used rou tinely (although not always effectively) in virtually every quantitative field of scientific endeavor.

Guarding Your Business outlines the organizational elements that must be in place to protect the information and physical assets of typical businesses and organizations.

Modern Morphometrics in Physical Anthropology provides a comprehensive sampling of the applications of modern, sophisticated methods of shape analysis in anthropology, and serves as a starting point for the exploration of these practices by students and researchers who might otherwise lack the local expertise or training to get started.

Demonstrates how metabolism and energetics are directly linked to those signal transduction pathways that are essential to survival of the cell, the organism, and the species. This book explores recurring patterns of interaction among metabolism, energetics, and signal transduction are fundamental in diverse aspects of human health and disease.

Divided into two sections - theoretical/empirical and intervention programs - this title serves as both a reference tool and as a toolkit that can be used by the important players involved, which include mental health personnel, teachers, and parents.

Nuclear many-body theory provides the foundation for understanding and exploiting the new generation of experimental probes of nuclear structure that are now becoming available.

Since the very first workshop, held at the prestigious Instituto de Fisica Teorica in Sao Paulo, and organized by the same organizer of the 1989 workshop, Professor Valdir Casaca Aguilera-Navarro, the meeting has taken place annually six times in Latin America, four in Europe and three in the United States.

The sixth Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics was held at the Campus of the University of Rochester during the three-day period June 26-28, 1989. This Conference was a sequel to five earlier meetings in this series, held in 1960, 1966, 1972, 1977 and 1983. The latest meeting was by far the largest. There were 327 registrants from 26 different countries. Altogether 252 papers were presented in 45 sessions. There were also 22 poster papers. This volume contains an abbreviated version of most of the papers presented at the meeting. The Conference was organized by a Program Committee consisting of the following: F.T. Arecchi (Istit. Naz. d'Ott., Firenze) N. Bloembergen (Harvard U.) C. Cohen-Tannoudji (Ecole Normale Superieure) H. Haken (U. Stuttgart) S. Haroche (Yale and Ecole Normale Supeneure) A.L. Schawlow (Stanford U.) C.R. Stroud, Jr. (U. of Rochester) D.F. Walls (U. of Auckland) H. Walther (Max-Planck-Inst. and U. MUnchen) J.H. EberlY] L. Mandel Joint Secretaries (U. of Rochester) E. Wolf v The Conference was sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, by the Optical Society of America, by the American Physical Society and by the University of Rochester. We wish to use this opportunity to thank all of the sponsors for their support.

Although the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) phenomenon had been predicted theoretically (and to some degree demonstrated experimentally) appreciably earlier, it required the advances in electronics that took place during World War II to turn NMR into a practical technique, as demonstrated independently in 1946 by Bloch and Purcell.

Conference papers in five categories: experimental approaches to the study of charge and energy transfer in biomacromolecular and intact cellular systems; ion and electron transport properties of biological and artificial membranes; effects of electrochemical processes and electromagnetic fields on biological systems; photo-induced bioelectrochemic

The International Workshops on "The Use of Supercomputers in Theoretical Science" have become a tradition at the Univer sity of Antwerp, Belgium. These workshops are organized in the framework of the Third Cy cle "Vectorization, Parallel Processing and Supercomputers", which is also funded by the NFWO-FNRS.

The papers in this volume were presented at the Second International Conference on Unconventional Photoactive Solids held at the R&D Center of BP America September 9-12, 1985. It was part of an on-going series of conferences with the main aim of stressing the Interrelationship of solid state physics and solid state chemistry.

This Proceedings consists of a collection of papers presented at the International Conference "Generalized functions, convergence structures and their applications" held from June 23-27, 1987 in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia (GFCA-87): 71 participants from 21 countr~es from allover the world took part in the Conference.

The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Interfaces, Quantum Wells and Superlattices" was held from August 16th to 29th, 1987, in Banff, Alberta, Canada.

This volume is based on the symposium "Psychology and Productivity: Bringing Together Research and Practice" held at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in August 1987.

The International Symposium on Dynamics of Ordering Processes in Condensed Matter was held at the Kansai Seminar House, Kyoto, for four days, from 27 to 30 August 1987, under the auspices of the Physical Soci ety of Japan.

Within the tradition of meetings devoted to potential theory, a conference on potential theory took place in Prague on 19-24, July 1987. The present volume may thus be of intrest to mathematicians speciali zing in the above-mentioned fields and also to everybody interested in the present state of potential theory as a whole.

It has been shown both experimentally {2} and theoretically {2,3} that surface skimming SH waves propagating along symmetry axes of the texture have velocities that differ in proportion to the magnitude of any stress that lies along one of the symmetry axes.

This book is the third volume in an approximately annual series which comprises the proceedings of the International Workshops on Condensed Matter Theories.
