Sandimmun may beregarded as a leap forward in the treatment of thatpopulation of patients that do notsatisfactorily respond tosteroids. The possibility of drastically reducing the use ofcorticosteroids, particularly in children, is perhapsthemost attractive feature of Sandimmun

Overview: This monograph is an attempt to compile the present state of knowledge on ocean wave analysis and prediction. The emphasis of the monograph is on the development of ocean wave analysis and predic­ tion procedures and their utility for real-time operations and appli­ cations. Most of the material in the monograph is derived from journal articles, research reports and recent conference proceedings; some of the basic material is extracted from standard text books on physical oceanography and wind waves. Ocean wave analysis and prediction is becoming an important activity in the meteorol

Overview: In real applications most experimental situations are influenced by a large number of different factors. In these settings the design of an experiment leads to challenging optimization problems, even if the underlying relationship can be described by a linear model. Based on recent research, this book introduces the theory of optimum designs for complex models and develops general methods of reduction to marginal problems for large classes of models with relevant interaction structures.978-0-387-94745-7978-1-4612-4038-9Series ISSN 0930-0325 Series E-ISSN 2197-7186

Overview: Dermatology is a complex and puzzling world of itching bumps, pim­ ples, and rashes. The multitude of clinically distinct skin diseases, their frequently unresolved pathogenesis, and the exponentially in­ creasing amount of scientific information add to the confusion about skin diseases. The great prevalence of skin diseases makes them an urgent priority for intensive research effort, and although many scientists and academic clinicians are vigorously trying to uncover we are only at the very brink of understanding the etiol­ their secrets, ogy of most dermatoses. The principle mecha
