Overview: Provides a state-of-the-art overview of modern theory of porous media.Includes new trends in the continuum mechanical treatment of porous solids.Over the last decade and particularly in recent years, the macroscopic porous media theory has made decisive progress concerning the fundamentals of the theory and the development of mathematical models in various fields of engineering and biomechanics. This progress has attracted some attention, and therefore conferences devoted almost exclusively to the macrosopic porous media theory have been organized in order to collect all findings, to

Overview: Fifty years after Camus‘s untimely death, his work still has a tremendous impact on literature. From a twenty-first century vantage point, he offers us coexisting ideas and principles by which we can read and understand the other and ourselves. Yet Camus seems to guide us without directing us strictly; his fictions do not offer clear-cut solutions or doctrines to follow. This complexity is what demands that the oeuvre be read, and reread. The wide-ranging articles in this volume shed light, concentrate on the original aspects of Camus‘ writings, and explore how and why they are still

Overview: Alzheimer‘s disease is one the foremost health problems facing every society fortunate enough to attain a level of medical care that ensures an average lifespan of over 70 years of age. The cause of the disease remains unknown, and no single therapeutic approach has yet been found highly efficacious. Indeed, as the complexity of its effects on brain neuronal systems becomes elucidated, the concept emerges that Alzheimer‘s disease may be an umbrella term for multiple Alzheimer‘s-type syndromes that can be differentiated based on etiology (hereditary versus sporadic), neurochemical def

Overview: What happens when a play is transposed from one medium or mode of presentation to another? What occurs, for example, when a drama intended for readers in one language is translated into another, or when a play written for the stage is adapted for radio, television or film? Egil Trnqvist examines these questions in relation to Shakespeare‘s Macbeth, Ibsen‘s A Doll‘s House, Strindberg‘s The Ghost Sonata and Pinter‘s The Homecoming and discusses interpretive transformations achieved by Peter Hall, Ingmar Bergman and Roman Polanski.

Overview: The Illusion of Reality was conceived during my tenure as director of the newly established Division of Information Science and Technology at the National Science Foundation in 1979-1981 as a partial response to the need for a textbook for students, both in and out of government, that would pro­ vide a comprehensive view of information science as a fundamental constitu­ ent of other more established disciplines with a unity and coherence distinct from computer science, cognitive science, and library science although it is related to all of them. Driven by the advances of information

Overview: Environmental Chemistry is a relatively young science. loteTest in this subject, however, is growing very rapidly and, although no agreement has been reached as yet about the exact content and limits of this interdisciplinary discipline, there appears to be increasing interest in seeing environmental topies which are based on chemistry embodied in this subject. One of the first objectives of Environmental Chemistry must be the study of the environment and of natural chemieal processes which occur in the environment. A major purpose of this series on Environmental Chemistry, therefore
