Overview: The International Meeting on Brain Oncology in Rennes was organised in honor of Jean Pecker, to pay tribute to his contribution to the development of neurological sciences and to take stock of the current state of knowledge on brain tumors, a domain in which the role of neurosurgery has been and will continue to be primordial. During the two-day conference, the major themes of brain oncology studies, both fundamental and clinical, were examined: oncogenesis, tumoral markers and immunology, metabolic and diagnosis imaging, prognostic factors and therapeutic strategies. The large numbe

Overview: .This book presents an analysis of the role of UK building societies, their strengths and weaknesses, and their contribution to the industry, at a time where public confidence in banking is low. Chapters present the results of an empirical analysis of the comparative performance of UK building societies, since the large-scale demutualisation process ended in the year 2000. The authors highlight the substantial impact of the financial crisis on the sector, with 2008 and 2009 being particularly difficult years.  The book discusses banks and building societies in the context of the impr

Overview: Biodegradation is the dominant pathway for the environmentaltransformation of most chemicals and information on a chemical‘sbiodegradability is essential for proper risk assessment. But thereare few methods for predicting whether or not a chemical isbiodegradable, since this depends on the chemical‘s structure as wellas on the environmental conditions that it encounters. .The present book deals with quantitative structure-biodegradabilityrelationship models (QSBRs), emphasizing the biological and ecologicalpart of the biodegradation process. Surveys are given of the microbialaspects

Overview: Diagnostic ultrasound has been in clinical use for more than 25 years, during which time it has been introduced into nearly all clinical disciplines. No substantial arguments for any adverse ef­ fects have been found. It is therefore commonly accepted that sono­ graphy is safe and causes no health risks. However, safety is not a property that can be proved experimentally; rather, it is character­ ized by the absence of detectable adverse effects in various relevant investigations. It is reasonable always to reconsider this assumption of safety by evaluating the latest results of ultr
