Overview: This volume follows a Specialized Symposium on "Mantle denudation in slow spreading ridges and in ophiolites", held at the XII EUG Meeting in Strasbourg, spring 1993. During the meeting it was felt that the contribu­ tions to the Symposium justified a volume presenting its main scientific achievements. The present title of the volume shows that the center of inter­ est has slightly shifted with respect to the initial objective: in order to under­ stand the processes involved in accretion taking place at oceanic ridges, it is crucial to study the interaction between uppermost mantle a

Overview: Medische zorgverlening begint altijd met een consult: het contact tussen arts en patiënt, waarbij de patiënt de arts raadpleegt en de arts op basis van het ziektebeeld, het patiëntverhaal en vakkennis tot een diagnose probeert te komen. Het consult vergt meer van de arts dan het verzamelen van gegevens: de arts moet vooral een balans proberen te vinden tussen empathie en professionele distantie. Consultvoering wordt door studenten geneeskunde vaak als lastig ervaren. Tijdens het consult worden het patiëntverhaal en de resultaten van lichamelijk onderzoek in verband gebracht met de ke

Overview: This conference, dedicated to the etiology and treatment of motility disor­ ders in spermatozoa and male sterility, attracted some of the finest investiga­ tors in the field. Standards were immensely high throughout, and discussions were meaningful and detailed. Analyses on disorders in sperm motility de­ mand a broad-based approach, involving cytologists, geneticists, andrologists, and embryologists, because the topic has many clinical and scientific over­ tones. Human spermatozoa are at the mercy of so many factors as they form and mature in the testis and epididymis. Their surviva

Overview: When, forty years ago, as a student of Charles Coulson in Oxford I began work in theoretical chemistry, I was provided with a Brunsviga calculator-a small mechanical device with a handle for propulsion, metal levers for setting the numbers, and a bell that rang to indicate overflow. What has since come to be known as computational chemistry was just beginning. There followed a long period in which the fundamental theory of the "golden age" (1925-1935) was extended and refined and in which the dreams of the early practitioners were gradually turned into hard arithmetic reality. As a s
