single toxicant before it, yet one that has now been brought under effective control-at least in estuaries and the nearshore environment. The problem with TBT and its cause was first recognized in France, then in the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and in these and other countries legislation is now in place (see Abel, Chapter 2, Champ and Wade, Chapter 3), but in many countries the hazard is only now being identified. This vo...

Anna Maria van Schurman was in more than one aspect an unconventional woman in her own lifetime. As a gifted scholar in many foreign and ancient languages, as well as in philosophy and theology, she corresponded with other learned men and women all over Europe. She achieved international renown for her own defence of scholarly activity of women. Life and work of this Dutch femme savante of the 17th Century has thus far been studied by theologi...

Euromech 357 took place in the nice authentic monastery 'Rolduc' in Kerkrade, Holland. The objective was to bring together researchers to present their latest advancements in the relatively new domain of Material properties identification by Mixed Numerical Experimental Methods (MMM). MMM are a modem and increasingly powerful way to determine the values of unknown parameters in a numerical model by observations made on real physical test struc...

The NATO Advanced Study Institute "Biomedical Optical Instrumentation and Laser­ Assisted Biotechnology" was held November 10-22, 1995 in Erice, Sicily. This was the 19 th conference organized by the International School of Quantum Electronics, under the auspices of the "Ettore Majorana" Center for Scientific Culture. The contributions presented at the Institute are written as extended, review-like papers to provide a broad and representative ...

Human activity has dramatically altered the global nitrogen cycle in recent decades. These changes are not evenly distributed around the world, rather, they are greatest in regions of significant industrial and agricultural activity, as the synthesis and use of inorganic fertilizers, cultivation of legumes, burning of fossil fuels, and the simple act of concentrating humans and animals in dense populations all lead to the release of excess, re...

This present volume is the Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Near­ rings and Nearfields held in Hamburg at the Universitiit der Bundeswehr Hamburg, from July 30 to August 06, 1995. This Conference was attended by 70 mathematicians and many accompanying persons who represented 22 different countries from all five continents. Thus it was the largest conference devoted entirely to nearrings and nearfields. The first of these con...

Over the past 50 years a wide variety of antibacterial substances have been discovered and synthesised, and their use in treating bacterial infection has been spectacularly successful. Today there are several general classes of antibacterial drugs, each having a well established set of uses, and together they form the mainstay of modern antibacterial chemotherapy. In search for new and improved agents, the pharmaceutical researcher needs to be...

lbis volume was occasioned by the desire of its contributors to honor Robert Sokolowski on his sixtieth birthday. The desire first took fonn on the streets of an American metropolis when several of us, while attending a philosophy conference, were bemoaning the lack of passion for doing philosophy as we all conceived it. In this expression of our discontent we all had a common exemplar in mind, someone for whom the passion for "the truthful" a...

Harnesses biblical, pastoral, historical and liturgical insights, exploring the significance of the different versions of the Lord's Prayer, the shape of the prayer, its varied uses in public worship and private devotion, its summary of the gospel.

Konflikte vermeiden - managen - lösen Konflikte zwischen Lehrern und Schülern sind auch im Musikunterricht kaum zu vermeiden. Entscheidend für den konstruktiven Ausgang eines Konflikts ist der professionelle Umgang damit. Wie man diesen lernen kann, erklärt Micaëla Grohé überzeugend in diesem Buch. Die Autorin stellt verschiedene Methoden vor, wie Lehrerinnen und Lehrer Konflikte vermeiden, managen und lösen können. Dabei zeigt sie, wie eine ...

En el presente trabajo de investigación, trato de abordar como problema principal, la determinación de la naturaleza jurídica del contrato de servicios no personales, para lo cual esquematizo mi análisis en tres capítulos: el primero de ellos versa sobre los distintos regímenes de contratación estatal de personas naturales. En el segundo capítulo, nos centramos en el estudio del contrato de servicios no personales, desde sus antecedentes histó...

Duplex Sonography is the first comprehensive text written about this modality. The book offers the reader detailed information about all major uses of duplex and is introduced by a brief chapter on the physical principles of doppler ultrasound as it relates to duplex scanning. Duplex Sonography is intended to provide relevant information on all aspects of the technique, ranging from the basics of performing the examination to the features of s...

Low-dimensional semiconductor quantum structures are a major, high-technological development that has a considerable industrial potential. The field is developing extremely rapidly and the present book represents a timely guide to the latest developments in device technology, fundamental properties, and some remarkable applications. The content is largely tutorial, and the book could be used as a textbook. The book deals with the physics, fa...

The Urgency of Changing Our Thinking about Eros In Atlanta recently, a man broke into the apartment of his former girlfriend and brutally murdered both her and her new lover with an axe. When asked later whether he had considered the consequences of being apprehended and prosecuted, he responded that without his relationship to this particular woman his life had no meaning, and for this reason it made no difference what happened to him. All-to...

Interest in the problem of interaction between radiation and astrophysical plasmas arose decades ago. Initially, this was closely related to the discovery of radio emission from the Sun and Galaxy which alerted theoretical radio astronomers to the problem of the origin of extra-terrestrial radio emission. It has been found that the observed radio emission from cosmic sources is generated by virtue of the mechanisms which work mainly in plasma ...

N atur non facit saltus? This book is devoted to the fundamental problem which arises contin­ uously in the process of the human investigation of reality: the role of a mathematical apparatus in a description of reality. We pay our main attention to the role of number systems which are used, or may be used, in this process. We shall show that the picture of reality based on the standard (since the works of Galileo and Newton) methods of real a...

Many of the processes influencing recruitment to an adult fish population or entry into a fishery occur very early in life. The variations in life histories and behaviours of young fish and the selective processes operating on this variation ultimately determine the identities and abundance of survivors. This important volume brings together contributions from many of the world's leading researchers from the field of fish ecology. The book f...

This workshop is devoted to Double stars. The general topics of the meeting were: for­ mation, dynamics and evolutionary tracks. In accordance with the pure tradition of the Saint James way, "pilgrims" from all over the world come to meet together in Santiago. Although with a common interest (double stars), this meeting was a multidisciplinary one, since scientists with different backgrounds participated in it. As a matter of fact, we think th...

The past decade has witnessed a burst of activity and interest in the discovery and design of drugs that cleave DNA and RNA with sequence­ specificity. This interest stems from the potential of this class of compounds to be useful as therapeutics agents, in particular in the field of the treatment of cancer and viral diseases. Further, a side benefit of such studies is the discovery of novel mechanisms and uses of such agents as tools in the s...

This book contains the course notes of the Summerschool on High Per­ formance Com, ~ting in Fluid Dynamics, held at the Delft University of Technology, June 24-28, 1996, under the auspices of and with support of ERCOFTAC (European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, WWW: http://imhefwww.epfl.ch/lmf/ERCOFTAC) and the J.M.
