Overview: Radioactive tracers have had a profound impact on scientific research during the past twenty years, particularly in bio­ chemistry and allied fields. The rapid evolution of sophisticated instrumentation and labeling techniques during the past ten years has made possible on a routine basis exquisitly sensitive experiments which with other techniques would require her­ culean efforts on the part of the investigator. The Symposia on Advances in Tracer Methodology, which have been held regularly since 1957, provide for research workers in biochemistry, pharmacology, endocrinology, and me

Overview: After some conversations with Professor Dr. H. Caspers and other participants at the triennial congress of the International Association of Theoretical and Applied Limnology (S. I. L. ) held in Copenhagen, Denmark (1977), the senior editor approached the international delegates at the business meeting for approval of the concept of holding the First International Symposium on Aquatic Oligochaete Biology at Sidney (near Victoria) British Columbia on May 1-4, 1979. The S. I. L. agreed to sponsor such a meeting, and this sponsorship in turn led to the provision of space and technical fa

Overview: Over the last few years, we have witnessed tremendous progress in the field of eicosanoids and their therapeutic applications. Receptor an­ tagonists for leukotrienes have been tested as anti-inflammatories and are on the market as a treatment for asthma. Receptor agonists for pro­ stacyclin are being tested for the treatment of peripheral vascular dis­ ease, and selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase type II were just ap­ proved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. All these developments are the culmination of many years and man-hours of careful research. The field has now ent

Overview: Over the past two decades, two-phase flow and heat transfer problems associated with two-phase phenomena have been a challenge to many investigators. Two-phase flow applications are found in a wide range of engineering systems, such as nuclear and conventional power plants, evaporators of refrigeration systems and a wide vari­ ety of evaporative and condensive heat exchangers in the chemical industry. This publication is based on the invited lectures presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on the Advances in Two-Phase Flow and Heat Transfer. The Horkshop was attended by more

Overview: Classic European series.The most renowned book series in neurosurgery.Leading European and American authorsAs an addition to the European postgraduate training system for young neurosurgeons, we began to publish in 1974 this series of Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery which was later sponsored by the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies.

Overview: Master Thesis in Computer Science.Includes supplementary material: .The master thesis of Susanne Göbel generates the deep understanding of the Mobile Ambient (MA) calculus that is necessary to use it as a modeling language. Instead of calculus terms a much more convenient representation via MA trees naturally maps to the application area of networks where processes pass hierarchical protection domains like firewalls. The work analyses MA’s function principles and derives a translation into Safe Petri nets. It extends to arbitrary MA processes but finiteness of the net and therefore d

Overview: Em Buch dieses Titels mögen viele Leser nicht ohne ausgeprägte Skepsis zur Hand nehmen. Ärgerliche Erinnerungen an die Lektüre so mancher Unter­ suchung zur Aktienkursbildung drängen sich auf: Man vermutet breit ausge­ schmückte, in unwissenschaftlichem Plauderton vorgetragene Bemerkungen peripherer, allenfalls technischer Natur. Der Umfang des Buches läßt zudem befürchten, es wolle wieder einmal ein Verfasser seine Ignoranz hinsichtlich des Kerns der behandelten Zusammenhänge in einer unübersehbaren Flut von Details verbergen; man hat das "multum, non multa" schon auf den Lippen.
