Here we have included in the interpersonal category certain systems for re trieving information from computers, essentially those systems in which the role of the computer 1s primarily to act as a store and to identify that information which best fits a user's request.

This volume contains the papers presented at a conference on "The rehabilitation of severely damaged land and freshwater eco systems in temperate zones", held at Reykjavik, Iceland, from 4th to 11th July, 1976.

Deal with the segmentation of complex shapes from the field of imaging sciences using different mathematical techniques. This book is aimed at researchers and educators in imaging sciences, radiological imaging, clinical and diagnostic imaging, physicists covering different medical imaging modalities, among others.

DNA analysis is ubiquitous in molecular biology, medical diagnostics, and forensics. This volume presents an overview of many aspects of DNA technology. The chapters provide an understanding of the underlying principles and technology. It is useful for bench scientists and industry professionals.

Provides an overview of progress in polyoxometalate chemistry from leading international research groups. This book covers topics such as the formation of large multi-subunit assemblies of polyoxometalates, and their functionalization, magnetic and electron-transfer properties, and biological interactions.

Describes the pathogenesis and immune reaction of opportunistic intracellular infections, typical problems related to antimicrobial chemotherapy, and approaches to their solution. Individual chapters cover such infections as mycobacterium tuberculosis, legionella pneumophila and brucella.

Proceedings of the 25th Anniversary Meeting of the International Association for Mathematical Geology held in Prague, Czech Republic, October 10-14, 1993

Kuniharu Kishida's account of Japanese thinking in the application of modern non-linear theory to reactor kinetics and control comes at a time when the community of control scholars is seeking how to apply the new ideas that have led to the prominence of chaos theory to our field.

Poly Chlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are dielectric liquids which have been widely used in various industries for more than 50 years because of their supposed nonflammabi 1 i ty and thei r chemical inertness. PCB pollution and its side effects are the subject of various studies with recent conferences devoted to these PCB studies.

Now that the United Kingdom is building its first (commercial) light water reactor, the linear modelling of burnup exploited by the second authors will prove even more useful, although previously exploited for advanced gas-cooled reactors.

Distributed service networks encompass various facilities with which we have daily contact. in the business sector they include maintenance and repair services, road services, courier services, and the like. Station location: Where should service stations or service units be located?

This volume contains the invited papers presented as a symposium of The Phytochemical Society of North America which met for its annual meeting at the Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific Grove, California on June 12-16, 1985.

"Polymer Science and Engineering: Challenges, Needs, and Opportunities," a report issued in 1981 by the National Research Council's ad hoc Panel on Polymer Science and Engineering gives ample support for the urgent need of increased commitment to basic studies on polymers.

The search for a reversible male contraceptive has centered upon the suppression of sperm production or sperm motility. These investiga- tions have revealed the remarkable fact that with gossypol, it is possible to separate an effect on the testis' gamete-producing function from an effect on its hormone-producing function.

Catherine Tihanyi Georges Mounin, an important figure in contemporary French intellec tual life, has made significant and original contributions in semiotics, I semantics, poetics, the linguistic theory and practice of translation, and the study of the history of linguistics.

For me, "philosophical psychology" meant a more intimate study of the soul (psyche), and I immediately concluded that psychology as a discipline must be about this pursuit. This philosophical interest led me to enroll in my first introductory psychology course.

As a result, a broad coverage of the subject matter includes statistical thermodynamics, surface physics, surface analysis, fracture mechanics, viscoelasticity, failure analysis, surface modification, adsorption kinetics, bio polymer adsorption, etc.

Sexual Orientation in Child and Adolescent Health Care serves as a resource for child health care professionals including pediatricians, family physicians, nurses, pediatric psychologists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, and social workers.

Since these symposia began in 1989, harsh and expensive treatment technologies have gradually been supplanted by more subtle and gentler methods of hazardous waste management. Such methods include subsurface-engineered barriers, phytoremediation, and bioremediation.

Justbefore the preliminary programof Orbis Scientiae 1998 went to press the news in physics was suddenly dominated by the discovery that neutrinos are, after all, massive particles. Massive neutrinos do not necessarily simplify the physics of elementary particles but they do give elementary particle physics a new direction.

Presents a record of the 1753 Moravian town of Bethabara, near Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This book describes such discoveries as fortifications from the French and Indian War and twenty ruins of various shops and dwellings in the town. It illustrates methods of ruin excavation and stabilization.

The 1995 conference was organized around two closely related themes and focused on the two pivotal aspects of energy, that is, economics and politics, both of which are decisive in providing long-term national and international strategies for the next century.

This volume, From High-Temperature Superconductivity to Microminiature Refrigeration, was compiled as a commemoration to Bill Little's rich scientific career over the past 40 years or more.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955.
