Overview: This volume contains the proceedings of the Third Matscience Summer School held at Bangalore in September, 1966. The special feature of these proceedings was two systematic series of lectures, one by F. Pham of C.E.N., Saclay and CERN, Geneva and the other by G. Rickayzen of the University of Kent, Canterbury. Pham dwelt at length on the applications of the methods of alge­ braic topology and differential forms to the study of the analytic properties of S-matrix theory, in particular, with reference to the location of singularities of the multiple scattering processes. This expositio

Overview: Broad coverage of topic: diverse reactor types and many countries represented at the workshop.Cross-cut mixture of presentations of basic and applied research into spent fuel storage.Wide and unique c.At a NATO-sponsored workshop in Almaty in September 2005, specialists from the IAEA, Brazil, France, Kazakhstan, Poland, Russia, USA and Uzbekistan discussed safety-related issues of storing spent nuclear fuel. Fifteen papers dealt with aluminium-clad fuel discharged from research reactors worldwide, five papers were concerned with stainless steel-clad fuel from fast reactors, and two w

Overview: The controversial comments of Sister Angela Plume, a popular fictitious figure developed by the "Nursing Times", are contained in this volume compiled especially for nurses and nursing students. Angela Plume is a celebrated and authorative commentor on all aspects of nursing

Overview: Nachdem die statistischen Verfahren zu einem festen Bestandteil der Rege­ lungstechnik geworden sind, bedarf die Herausgabe dieses Buches keiner be­ sonderen Begründung. Es soll zweierlei Aufgaben erfüllen: einerseits sollen die erforderlichen Grundlagen im Bereich der linearen Theorie an den Stoff be­ reits vorhandener Lehrbücher anschließen, andererseits soll durch die Ein­ beziehung nichtlinearer Systeme, die von stochastischen Signalen beein­ fl. ußt werden, eine Lücke in der einschlägigen deutschsprachigen Literatur geschlossen werden. Daß ein erfolgreiches Studium dieses Bandes

Overview: Fracture mechanics and fatigue last developments.Scientific analysis associated with economical analysis.Practical application cases.Structures that are essential for economy and security such as energy production, transportation and supply, water supply, buildings, are susceptible to failure, because of defects already present in the material, or created at fabrication, or appearing during service. Methods of assesment of the nocivity of these defects are needed, to predict the remaining service life and the eventual emergency of stopping service and repairing, if possible. To reach

Overview: In this volume we aim to present an easy-to-read account of the genus Saccharomyces that we hope will be of value to all students and researchers wishing to exploit this important genus, be it for academic or commer­ cial purposes. Individual chapters have been commissioned to cover specific aspects of the biology of Saccharomyces species: growth, genetics, and metabolism, with the emphasis on methodology. Basic principles are discussed without an over-detailed, step-by-step breakdown of specific techniques, and lengthy discussions of standard molecular, biological, and biochemical t

Overview: Shape detection techniques are an important aspect of computer vision and are used to transform raw image data into the symbolic representations needed for object recognition and location. However, the availability and application of research data relating to shape detection has traditionally been limited by a lack of computational and mathematical skill on the part of the intended end-user. As a result progress in areas such as the automation of visual inspection techniques, where shape detection couls play a pivotal role, has been relatively slow. In this volume, Violet Leavers, an
