Overview: In this age of increased fundamental and applied research on biodiversity, no single volume was as yet devoted to the various temporal and spatial aspects of aquatic biodiversity. The present book is published in honour of Professor Henri Dumont (Ghent, Belgium) at the occasion of his retirement as Editor-in-Chief of Hydrobiologia. The volume presents a selection of contributions on aquatic biodiversity, written by colleagues from the editorial board, fellow editors of aquatic journals and former students and collaborators. Contributions deal with a wide spectrum of topics related to

Overview: The Third Breast Cancer Working Conference of the Breast Cancer Cooperative Group of the European Organization for Research on Treatment of Cancer, to be held in Amsterdam on April 27-29, 1983, was the principle motive for writing this book. It was felt that a short review of the main pathogenetic conceptions and therapeutic principles which have presented themselves with regard to mammary cancer in the course of Western history, might help to draw a more complete picture of where we stand today. It is not easy to decide which ideas, although discarded, deserve yet to be remembered a

Overview: .Adaptive Analog VLSI Neural Systems. is the first practical book on neural networks learning chips and systems. It covers the entire process of implementing neural networks in VLSI chips, beginning with the crucial issues of learning algorithms in an analog framework and limited precision effects, and giving actual case studies of working systems.. The approach is systems and applications oriented throughout, demonstrating the attractiveness of such an approach for applications such as adaptive pattern recognition and optical character recognition.. Dr Jabri and his co-authors from

Overview: Proceedings of the 5th Biannual International Meeting onAngiogenesis: From the Molecular to Integrative Pharmacology, heldJuly 1-7, 1999, in Crete, Greece. .Angiogenesis, as a vastly complex biological process, has challengedresearchers from all basic scientific disciplines, includingpharmacology, biochemistry, physiology, embryology and anatomy. Thesignificance of this phenomenon for the study of disease states hasalso interested clinicians from a number of specialist fields. Thismultidisciplinary work reflects the growth of awareness of conceptssuch as angiogenesis based therapy, t

Overview: This book presents an atheistic case against the legalization of assisted suicide. Critical of both sides of the argument, it questions the assumptions behind the discussion. Yuill shows that our attitudes towards suicide – not euthanasia – are most important to our attitudes towards assisted suicide.978-1-137-48746-9978-1-137-28630-7
