Overview: Stimulating and provocative work with fiberoptic technology is reported in this volume. Invasive fiberoptic reflectometry has only been used up to now for monitoring intravascular oxygen saturation. These contributions examine how this technique can be clinically applied to measure other parameters in the critically ill patient. Methodological aspects are discussed, but the main focus is on clinical value and application. The authors look at measurements that can be evaluated using a flowdirected fiberoptic pulmonary artery catheter and an arterial fiberoptic thermodulution catheter.

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Random trees and tree-valued stochastic processes are of particular importance in combinatorics, computer science, phylogenetics, and mathematical population genetics. Using the framework of abstract "tree-like" metric spaces (so-called real trees) and ideas from metric geometry such as the Gromov-Hausdorff distance, Evans and his collaborators have recently pioneered an approach to studying the asymptotic behaviour of such objects when the number of vertices goes to infinity. These notes survey the relevant mathematical background and present some s

Overview: Extensively analyzes Husserl’s conception of protention in its systematic relation to various dimensions of experiential life.Develops the distinction between the formal and the material accounts of p.Every attempt to examine our consciousness’s passive life and its dynamic in its various forms inevitably intersects with our primal awareness of the future.

Overview: Die vorliegende Arbeit gehört zweifellos in den weiteren Rahmen der allge­ meinen Migrationsproblematik. Dies besagt aber keineswegs, daß etwa in ihr ausschließlich Fragender reinen Migration, d. h. der Wanderung von Menschen, behandelt würden; es wird sich ganz im Gegenteil erweisen, daß unsere Betrach­ tungsweise wesentlich .über die reine Migrati06sproblematik hinausreicht. Wir verstehen nämlich die Migration nicht nur als einen Wanderungsvorgang in einem neutralen geographischen Raum, sondern wir betrachten je,de W‘anderung vornehmlich alls ein Geschehen innerhalb der sozialen Di

Overview: Even the most casual reader leafing through the pages of this book will quickly realize that it is not the thoughts of one indi­ vidual set down on paper, but rather the synergism of many people. Herbert Goeler of American Cyanamid and Keith Slater of Johns-Manville, the latter now retired, are certainly the brightest stars in my particular customer service galaxy. They have been well-springs of information, thinkers and thought­ starters, friends and fellow-believers, for almost two decades. Without the encouragement and inspiration they gave me, this book would be much shorter and
