Early in 1979, a group of wave researchers proposed a wave model inter- comparison study to clarify the interrelations existing among the various wave models which have been developed in past years fo
In recent years organic sulfur chemistry has been growing at an even faster pace than the very rapid development in other fields of chemistry. This phenomenal growth is undoubtedly a reflection of ind
Tiselius demonstrated that the immunologically active components of immune sera migrated electrophoretically in the gamma globulin region. His findings illuminated the classic observations of Jenner r
In this book we have described the major events of embryonic development and considered the underlying mechanisms which result in the production of a viable hatchling. We have, as the subtitle of the
The use oflubricants began in ancient times and has developed into a major international business through the need to lubricate machines of increasing complexity. The impetus for lubricant development
O.L. LANGE, P.S. NOBEL, C.B. OSMOND, and H. ZIEGLER Growth, development and reproductive success of individual plants depend on the interaction, within tolerance limits, of the factors in the physical
This volume contains five review articles, three in the Al- gebra part and two in the Geometry part, surveying the fields of ring theory, modules, and lattice theory in the former, and those of integr
Antioxidants inhibit the formation and spread of free radicals which can be damaging in biological systems. Free radicals form in biological systems through metabolism, but it is also realized that ex
The past few years have witnessed the emergence of steroid hormones as the wonder molecules which generate as much discussion in the scientific literature as they do in a typical living room. This tra
Mobile context-awareness is a popular research trend in the field of ubiquitous computing. Advances in mobile device sensory hardware and the rise of ‘virtual’ sensors such as web application programm
In continuation of Volumes 8 and 9 (1989) on in vitromanipulation of plant protoplasts, this new volume dealswith the regeneration of plants from protoplasts and genetictransformation in various s
The food analyst plays an important role in modern society. Stricter control over additives in food and concern about the effects of contamination of food by industrial and agricultural chemicals are
In addition to mathematicians, this book is intended for a more general audience, for teachers and for researchers, for students in almost all topics, in particular in art, humanities, psychology, des

Dieser erste Band eines Lehrbuchs der Planung gibt eine Darstellung der Grundlagen des Planungsprozesses. Er fuhrt in die Systemanalyse ein, deren Aufgabe in der Erfassung der Sachzusammenhange und de
Volume 2 focuses on notes for lectures on the foundations of the mathematical sciences held by Hilbert in the period 1894-1917. They document Hilbert's first engagement with 'impossibility' proofs; hi
The first part of volume IV documents Hilbert's efforts in the period 1898-1910 to base all known physics (including thermodynamics, hydrodynamics and electrodynamics) on classical mechanics. This per
The aim of this collection of essays is to present a broad portrait of the ways in which two seemingly different disciplines are interconnected. The diversity and varied texture of the essays richly i
Volume VI contains a selection of material exhibiting many of Hilbert's philosophical and foundational views on particular theories and the exact sciences in general, drawn from his private n
The CIRP Encyclopedia covers the state-of-art of advanced technologies, methods and models for production, production engineering and logistics. While the technological and operational aspects are in

This symposium is the third in a series featuring the propaga- tion of higher plants through tissue culture. The first of these symposia, entitled "A Bridge Between Research and Application,"
NATO Advanced Research Institutes are designed to explore unre- solved problems. By focusing complementary expertise from various disciplines onto one unifying theme, they approach old problems in new
One landmark in the long history of biological studies on the "slime mold" Physarum polycephalum was the introduction of chemi- cally defined growth conditions for the plasmodial phase of this organis
This comprehensive treatise reviews, for the first time, all the essential work over the past 160 years on the photoelastic and the closely related linear and quadratic electro-optic effects in isotro
Deep-sea manganese nodules, once an obscure scientific curios- ity, have, in the brief span of two decades, become a potential mineral resource of major importance. Nodules that cover the sea floor of
This book is a selection of papers from a conference which took place at the University of Keele in July 1982. The conference was an extraordinarily enjoyable one, and we would like to take this oppor
Every year between three and four hundred papers are published on the topic of insulin action. This extraordinary publication rate prevents any author from includ- ing an exhaustive bibliography in an
There have been enormous recent advances in our ability to produce and trap samples of translationally cold molecules (below 1 K) and ultracold molecules (below 1 mK). Molecules such as NH3, OH and NH
Two major factors brought about the establishment of the Netherlands Yearbook of International Law: demand for the publication of national practice in international law, and the desire for legal pract
