Overview: Over the past five years, through a continually increasing wave of activity in the physics community, supergravity has come to be regarded as one of the most promising ways of unifying gravity with other particle interaction as a finite gauge theory to explain the spectrum of elementary particles. Concurrently im­ portant mathematical works on the arena of supergravity has taken place, starting with Kostant‘s theory of graded manifolds and continuing with Batchelor‘s work linking this with the superspace formalism. There remains, however, a gap between the mathematical and physical a

Overview: During the past decade, geneticists have constructed detailed maps of the human genome and cloned scores of Mendelian disease genes. They now stand on the threshold of sequencing the genome in its entirety. The unprecedented insights into human disease and evolution offered by mapping and sequencing will transform medicine and agriculture. This revolution depends vitally on the contributions of applied mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists. .Mathematical and Statistical Methods for Genetic Analysis. is written to equip graduate students in the mathematical sciences t

Overview: This volume of essays contains contributions from a very wide range of British, American and Spanish scholars. Its primary concern is the relationships between the various ethnic, cultural, regional and religious communities that co-existed in the Iberian peninsula in the later Middle Ages. Conflicts and mutual interactions between them are here explored in a range of both historical and literary studies, to expose something of the rich diversity of the cultural life of later medieval Spain.978-1-349-42000-1978-1-4039-1977-9

Overview: If one were to design the ideal nuisance for cell cultures, the resultant might well be similar to mycoplasmas. These micro­ organisms are very prevalent in nature, being found in the oral cavity, blood, the mucous membranes of the respiratory and uro­ genital tract and other tissues of both man and animals. They are relatively difficult to detect microbiologically and chemically. Lacking cell walls, they do not routinely produce turbidity in cell cultures and are resistant to antibiotics that act on cell walls. Mycoplasmas grow to high titers in cell cultures. Concen­ 7 8 trations o

Overview: Der Begriff des Spieles, der die Unterhaltungs mathematik erst unter­ haltsam gestaltet, äußert sich in vielen Formen: ein Rätsel, das gelöst werden soll, ein Zweipersonenspiel, ein magischer Trick, ein Paradoxon, Trugschlüsse oder ganz einfach Mathematik mit überraschenden und amüsanten Beigaben. Gehören diese Beispiele nun zur reinen oder ange­ wandten Mathematik? Es ist schwer zu sagen. Einerseits ist Unterhal­ tungsmathematik reine Mathematik, unbeeinflußt von der Frage nach den Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Andererseits ist sie aber auch ange­ wandte Mathematik, denn sie entstand aus
