Overview: Contains papers from recognized experts.Valuable for both practitioners and researchers.Stepping stone for future researchThe increasing complexity of systems and the growing uncertainty in their operational environments have created a critical need to develop systems able to improve their operation, adapt to change, and recover from failures autonomously. This situation has led to recent advances in self-adaptive systems able to reconfigure their structure and modify their behavior at run-time to adapt to environmental changes. Despite these advances, one key aspect of self-adaptive

Overview: Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) represent the first class of antihypertensive agents that was designed and developed on the basis of a well-defined physiopathological axis of arterial hypertension, a vascular dis­ order that is now becoming one of the major causes of morbidity/mortality, not only in developed societies but also in the highly populated developing coun­ tries [1]. CAPTOPRIL, the prototype of the "PRIL" family, which now comprises more than 40 molecule-species, was quite hazardous and the clinical develop­ ment almost failed when serious side-effects wer

Overview: prospects of the High Commissioner proposal with careful scholarship and shrewd judgment. Mr. Clark wrote the first draft of this book under my supervision for the degree of Doctor of the Science of Law at Columbia Law School before returning to take up his career as a law teacher in his native New Zealand. I am delighted that his work, in this improved and updated version, is now being published. It fills a real need, since it is the first book on this important subject. On this occasion it might be appropriate to add a few comments on the history of the High Commissioner proposal.

Overview: This book re-examines the critical debate regarding Hardy‘s attitude to women: apologist or misogynist? With the help of manuscript evidence and references to Hardy‘s autobiography, letters, literary notebooks, marginalia, and the letters of his wives, this book combines a biographical approach with a feminist reading. Significant space is devoted to the ‘minor‘ novels, the short stories, and to Hardy‘s real life literary relations with his contemporary women writers, his protégées and his two ‘scribbling‘ wives, to balance the hitherto exclusive focus on the ‘major‘ novels.978-0-230

Overview: It is a great honor to provide an introduction for Dr. Frank Op ‘t Eynde‘s and Dr. Willy Sansen‘s book "Analog Interfaces for Digital Signal Processing Systems". The field of analog integrated circuit design is undergoing rapid evolution. The pervasiveness of digital processing has considerably modified the micro-system architectures: the analog part of complex mixed systems is more and more pushed at the boundary limits of the processing chain. Moreover, the increased performance of digital circuits, in terms of accuracy and speed, are making the specification requirements of analog
