Overview: In this first book-length study of Stevie Smith, Romana Huk reassesses the work of this major twentieth-century woman writer as emerging not only from the practices of female literary modernism, but also from within the tumultuous cultural context of mid-century Europe. Huk considers both the poems and the novels in the light of their cultural and literary context. Amongst the work treated here is Smith‘s rarely discussed trilogy of novels: Novel on Yellow Paper , Over the Frontier and The Holiday .978-0-230-28829-4

Overview: Wounds have existed since the beginning of time, and records of their nature and treatment are found in the earliest documents. Interestingly, many of these treat­ ments are now being rediscovered or re-used in modern-day clinical practice. In addition to the diverse nature of treatments that have been suggested as being beneficial for wounds, over many centuries there has been a range of clinicians who have cared for patients with wounds, and in many parts of the world today it is not doctors but other professional colleagues - e. g. nurses or podiatrists - who are the most knowledg

Overview: Die Einstellungen der jüngeren Generationen zum technischen Fortschritt sind ein wichtiger Hinweis für Entwicklungen in unserer durch Naturwissenschaften und Technik geprägten Gesellschaft. Es ist deshalb verständlich, daß Veränderun­ gen dieser Einstellungen mit großem Interesse öffentlich beobachtet und disku­ tiert werden. Besonders in Verbindung mit der friedlichen Nutzung der Kernener­ gie hat sich die öffentliche Meinung seit etwa 15 Jahren in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland mit den Erwartungen der (jeweils) jungen Generationen im Hinblick auf technische Entwicklungen und ihre F

Overview: .Supercomputing. is an important science and technology that enables the scientist or the engineer to simulate numerically very complex physical phenomena related to large-scale scientific, industrial and military applications. It has made considerable progress since the first NATO Workshop on High-Speed Computation in 1983 (Vol. 7 of the same series). This book is a collection of papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Trondheim, Norway, in June 1989. It presents key research issues related to: - hardware systems, architecture and performance; - compilers and

Overview: Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are experiencing a growing importance recently. Whereas WLANs were primarily used for niche applications in the past, they are now deployed as wireless extensions to computer networks. The increase of the datarates from 2 Mbps up to 11 Mbps for roughly a constant price has played a major role in this breakthrough. As a consequence, an even greater success can be envisioned for the more recent OFDM-based WLAN standards in the 5 GHz band that offer up to 54 Mbps. At IMEC we have realized this potential already several years ago and have established
