Stunning is potentially an important complication of myocardial reperfusion. In contrast, hibernation is an important complication of myocardial ischemia. This book presents different viewpoints on these subjects, taken from a series of peer-reviewed articles which first appeared in Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, and now in this book. In addition, a certain number of articles were directly invited for the book. The introductory article is...

This volume contains eight contributions on the common theme of masonry construction. The publication coincides with the retirement of Dr Jacques Heyman from his Professorship of Engineering in the University of Cambridge, and Headship of the University's Engineering Department. It is entirely appropriate to have a collection of papers in honour of Professor Heyman at this time, for he has made signal contributions to our understanding of ma...

This book covers the evolving telecommunications technology which will allow the telecoms network to carry sound, vision, text and computer signals. It examines both the equipment available today and the future possibilities raised by recent developments.

Student~ interested in world populations and demography inevitably need to know China. As the most populous country of the world, China occupies a unique position in the world population system. How its population is shaped by the intricate interplays among factors such as its political ideology and institutions, economic reality, government policies, sociocultural traditions, and ethnic divergence represents at once a fascinating and challeng...

The papers appearing in this volume reflect the current attention in sediment/water science to five main topics of investigation: Sediment dynamics in estuaries, coastal waters, lakes, reservoirs and rivers, Sediment-associated biological processes, Contaminant accumulation, distribution and geochemistry, Fluxes from sediments, and Element cycling. Contributors address sediment/water interactions related to both fresh and salt water conditions.

Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments effectively transfers an environmental property right, the difference in unrestricted emissions and the yearly endowment, 3 from certain fIrms to the public domain. Phase I is to reduce annual SOz emissions of 261 large (100 MW or more) utility generating units with emissions greater than 2. 5 IbslmmBtu. The yearly endowment during Phase I is equal to 2. 51bslmmBtu times the 1985-1987 baseline energy us...

In recent years there has been tremendous activity in computational neuroscience resulting from two parallel developments. On the one hand, our knowledge of real nervous systems has increased dramatically over the years, on the other, there is now enough computing power available to perform realistic simulations of actual neural circuits. This is leading to a revolution in quantitative neuroscience, which is attracting a growing number of scie...

Spanning nearly 500 years, this book describes the Catholic experience from the arrival of Columbus and the other European explorers to the present day. Jay P. Dolan discusses Catholicism as it spread across the New World, transforming - and being transformed by - the land and its people.

Readers will perhaps be surprised to find a volume about fungi within a handbook of vegetation science. Although fungi traditionally feature in textbooks on botany, at least since Whittaker (1969), they have mostly been categorised as an independent kingdom of organisms or, in contrast to the animal and plant kingdom, as probionta together with algae and protozoa. More relevant for ecology than the systematic separation of fungi from plants is...

This monograph contains a description of original methods and results concern­ ing global properties of linear differential equations of the nth order, n ~ 2, in the real domain. This area of research concerning second order linear differential equations was started 35 years ago by O. Boruvka. He summarized his results in the monograph "Lineare Differentialtransforrnationen 2. Ordnung", VEB, Berlin 1967 (extended version: "Linear Differential ...

Widely regarded as one of the country's most important Native American poets, Ortiz has had a thirty-year career marked by a fascination with language and by a love of his people.

Clinical workers, research psychologists, and graduate students in psychology will find this series useful for keeping abreast of the latest issues, instruments, and methods of assessment. This latest volume includes chapters on the Interpersonal Style Inventory, the new Five Factor Theory of Personality, and adult sexual offenders.

Composite materials are being used in more and more engineering applications. This has recently extended to uses in civil engineering such as tendons, rebar rods or as patch pieces for repair. In the light of the recent surge in research activity, CANCOM 91 served as an international forum for composites specialists.

This book details a unique training evaluation approach developed by David J. Basarab, Sr. currently the Manager of Evaluation at Motorola University. This approach was developed in part based on information from his graduate coursework with Dr. Darrell K. Root, professor of program evaluation and educational administration at the University of Dayton. It enabled Motorola to evaluate their corporate training programs to determine whether money...

The assembly sector is one of the least automated in the manufacturing industry. Automation is essential if industrial companies are to be competitive in the future. In assembly, an integrated and flexible approach is needed because 75% of the applications are produced in small and medium batches. The methodologies developed in this book deal with the integration of the assembly process from the initial design of the product to its production....
