Overview: The results of treatment for childhood acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) have improved considerably during the last ten years. This progress was demonstrated by the two consecutive multicenter studies, AML-BFM-78 and -83, in which almost identical extended multi drug regimes of che­ motherapy were administered for eight weeks and followed up by two years maintenance. The main difference in the second study was the addition of an eight-day intensive in­ duction course. Due to this new element, the relapse rate was reduced significantly. Another result of the BFM-83 study was the defini

Overview: The idea that American historical development is different from that of other nations is an old one, yet it shows no sign of losing its emotive power. ‘Exceptionalism‘ continues to excite, beguile, and frustrate students of the American past. The essays in this volume explore the ways in which the process of class formation in the United States can be said to be distinctive. Focusing upon the impact of liberal political thought, race and immigration, and the role of the war-time state, they challenge particularist and nation-centred modes of explanation. Comparing American historical

Overview: In 1984, while I was following his postgraduate course on VLSI design, my supervisor Dr. David Skellern, asked me if I was interested in investigating intelligent approaches to automatic Ie floorplanning. He told me then: "a circuit that works always looks nice, has a clever data and control flow. A fast way to look at students‘ Ie projects is by looking at their fioorplans.". Later, I took a course on Knowledge Engineering (KE) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Professor John Gero, who encouraged me to investigate this area of design automation. The resources for such developmen

Overview: Die Computergraphik beschäftigt sich mit der Erzeugung und Manipulation von Bildern durch einen Computer. Die erzeugten Darstellungen sind meistens Ab­ bilder von nicht in der Realität existierenden Objekten, die mit mathematischen Verfahren definiert sind. Ein wesentliches Ziel dabei ist es, den dargestellten Objekten ein möglichst realistisches Aussehen zu verleihen, so daß sie von real existierenden Objekten nicht zu unterscheiden sind. Dadurch wird ein Durch­ mischen und Überblenden von real existierenden und synthetisch definierten Objekten ermöglicht, die Grenzen zwischen Reali

Overview: We have inserted, in this edition, an extra chapter (Chapter X) entitled "Some Applications and Recent Developments." The first section of this chapter describes how homological algebra arose by abstraction from algebraic topology and how it has contributed to the knowledge of topology. The other four sections describe applications of the methods and results of homological algebra to other parts of algebra. Most of the material presented in these four sections was not available when this text was first published. Naturally, the treatments in these five sections are somewhat cursory,

Overview: Examines the controversial establishment of the first Anglican Church in Boston in 1686, and how later, political leaders John Adams, Samuel Adams, and John Wilkes exploited the disputes as political dynamite together with taxation, trade, and the quartering of troops: topics which John Adams later recalled as causes of the American Revolution.978-1-349-36052-9978-0-230-58321-4Series ISSN 2946-2053 Series E-ISSN 2946-2061

Overview: The proportion of elderly people continues to increase in the western world-nearly a quarter of the population will be over 65 years by the year 2050. Since aging is accompanied by an increase in diseases and by a deterioration in well-being, finding solutions to these social, medical and psychological problems is necessarily a major goal for society. Scientists and medical practitioners are therefore faced with the urgent task of increasing basic knowledge of the biological processes that cause aging. More resources must be put into this research in order to achieve better understan
