A reference guide to marine interstitial ciliates, this volume covers practical methods of collection, transport and laboratory procedures, species descriptions and diagnostic keys to families, genera and species. There is also a glossary of taxonomic terms.

Emphasizing a clear exposition for readers familiar with elementary measure theory and the fundamentals of set theory and general topology, presents the basic notions and methods of the theory of Hilbert spaces, a part of functional analysis being increasingly applied in mathematics and theoretical

of progress has been made in the development of In the last twenty years a great amount new magnetic materials. Permanent magnets have progressed from the AlNiCo's (with (BH)m-8 MGOe) to the strong rare-earth magnets of SmCo «BH)m-20 MGOe), Sm2(Co, Fe, Cu, Zrh7 s «BH)m-30 MGOe) and the recently discovered Nd-Fe-B super-magnets with (BH)m-50 MGOe. For years the magnetic storage industry has employed Fe0 and CrO for storage media and 2 3 z perma...

In 1964, the Fertilization and Gamete Physiology Research Training Program (FERGAP) was established at the Marine Biological Laboratories, Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Over the course of the next 12 years, under the directorship of Dr. Charles B. Metz, FERGAP brought together, trained, and inspired a generation of students in reproductive biology from all over the world. As students of C. B. Metz and as FERGAP trainees, we would like to dedicate...

Research and publications on the potato crop have burgeoned since the first edition of this book was published in 1978. However, the warm reception of the first edition suggested that it had a useful part to play in promoting the scientific basis for understanding and improving the yield and quality of the crop. Since the first edition was out of print and a second reprint would not have taken into account the contributions made by research ov...

Writing this book would have been impossible without the help of certain institutions and persons. For a gas-producing and oil-processing country like the Netherlands, there was surprisingly very little, publicly available, research material. Public libraries' collections contained, with a certain degree of inconsistency, little of the more specialised sources. I would therefore like to express my gratitude towards Royal Dutch Shell, and espec...

Tea is a unique crop and, incidentally, a very interesting and attractive one. The tea bush, its cultivation and harvesting do not fit into any typical cropping pattern. Moreover, its processing and marketing are specific to tea. Thus the Tea Industry stands apart and constitutes a self contained entity. This is reflected in the title given to this book, Tea: Cultivation to consumption, and its treatment of the subject. The book is logically p...

Provides a synthesis of the techniques required in the exploration and economic evaluation of mineral deposits. Following a discussion of the sampling of deposits, the author describes a range of "classical" ore reserve techniques. Worked examples and case studies are also included.

This is a collection of keynote contributions to a symposium, the aim of which was to draw attention to the incomplete knowledge of the basic biology and ecology of most species in the family Cyprinidae. Specialists discuss ecological, morphological and physiological aspects.

Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Coelenterate Biology 1989

A collection of papers pertaining to the automation of the software development process, and focusing on the integration of tools within a CASE environment.

This study introduces a little-known aspect of the work of the artist Winslow Homer (1836-1910). In particular, it focuses on his work as an illustrator of books and literary magazines, where, for almost three decades, he pictorialised the works of Bryant, Longfellow, Tennyson and Whittier.

The present book is the outcome of an Advanced Study Institute meeting, which was held in Kallithea, Chalkidiki, in Northern Greece, from 12-25 May 1991 and attended by 69 delegates from 18 countries. The Institute brought together scientists, engineers and technologists currently involved in basic and applied research on the different aspects of flotation. The Institute covered subjects in four major areas of flotation: a) fundamentals, b) ch...

An account of the environmental problems posed by different types of waste material, the current state of technology for dealing wth them, and what science and technology promises for the future. The book is aimed at all those concerned with finding practical ways forward in waste management.

Michael Frome, one of the most highly regarded observers of our parks, here tells how the National Park Service has been transformed from a professional to a political agency and has betrayed its own values by emphasizing "short-order wilderness served like fast food" rather than the preservation of our natural heritage.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has sponsored a programme of research into the primary productivity of grass ecosystems in the tropics and subtropics, resulting in this book. It represents the first internationally integrated study of bioproductivity since the IBP in the 1970s.

Examining aggregates, placer, precious coral, phosphorites, manganese nodules, manganese crusts and hydrothermal mineral deposits, this volume covers nature and occurrences, case histories and resource potential.

A first collection of 14 stories that peoples a southwestern landscape with female survivors of one kind of abuse or another. At her best, Coleman can evoke the haunted landscape and the domestic discord of a Frostian dramatic poem or the passionate bitterness of a Lawrentian short story. "Sunflower" concerns a female narrator and her husband Clay, who have found a weary acceptance of each other after her passionate youth and catastrophic trys...

Koyashi Issa (1763-1827), long considered amoung Japan's four greatest haiku poets (along with Basho, Buson, and Shiki) is probably the best loved.
