On December 27, 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, a distant land unknown to most Canadians. Knowledge would come quickly over the coming months, particularly to the dozens of Canadian athletes who were entering the final stages of training for the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. The invasion set off a chain of events that dominated the headlines of the day. A crucial fall-out was the American-led boycott of the Games, which Canada even...

This text on the interdisciplinary field of synergetics will be of interest to students and scientists in physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, electrical, civil and mechanical engineering, and other fields. It continues the outline of basic con­ cepts and methods presented in my book Synergetics. An Introduction, which has by now appeared in English, Russian, J apanese, Chinese, and German. I have written the present book in such a way th...

1. Lyotropic Liquid Crystals The class of compounds known as thermotropic liquid crystals has been widely utilized in basic research and industry during recent years. The properties of these materials are such that on heating from the solid to the isotropic liquid state, phase transitions occur with the formation of one or more intermediate anisotropic liquids. The unique and sometimes startling properties of these liquid crystals are the prop...

The complex topic of in-situ subsurface remediation technologies has been ad­ dressed at an international symposium at the Universitat Stuttgart on September 26 and 27, 1995, on the occasion of the inauguration of the research facility VEGAS (Versuchseinrichtung zur Grundwasser- und Altlastensanierung). The results are contained in this book with 22 contributions from leading experts in the field from Europe and North America. The book illustr...

Rhythms of the heart and of the nervous and endocrine system, breathing, locomotory movements, sleep, circadian rhythms and tissue cell cycles are major elements of the temporal order of man. The dynamics of these systems are characterized by changes in the properties of an oscillator, transitions from oscillatory states into chaotic or stationary states, and vice versa, coupling or uncoupling between two or more oscillators. Any deviation fro...

Halten Sie es flir moglich, daB es auf anderen Himmelskorpern Leben gibt?" ist eine der haufigsten Fragen, welche Laien dem Fach­ astronomen steUen. Es ist in der Tat aufregend, sich vorzusteUen, wie auf anderen Planeten Pflanzen und Tiere gedeihen, Lebewesen, die vielleicht noch in einem Stadium sind, das dem Leben auf un­ serem Planeten vor Millionen Jahren ahnelt oder dem unseren in seiner Entwicklung weit voraus ist. Die Literatur bemachti...

a collection of writings concerning the various facets of life, with a sturdy emphasis on independent and internal thought.

Entsprechend dem Leitmotiv der Ergiinzungsbiinde III-4, Struktur und Funktion der Haut, werden in den beiden letzteren die normale und pathologi­ sche Physiologie behandelt. Der neue Band II4 A folgt dabei seinem Vorgiin­ ger II3 nach ca. 151ahren und hat sich dabei dem FluB der physiologischen Hautforschung angepaBt. Die Bedenken von 1. ladassohn im Vorwort zum Band III 1928, daB fur ein zusammenfassendes Werk alles noch zu sehr im FluB ist, ...

139 long ago that, when an extended source of unpolarised light is viewed through a highly dichroic crystalline plate cut normal to one of the optic axes, two dark brushes-the BREWSTER'S brushes-are seen. In the interference between crossed polaroids the dark isogyres do not in general pass through the optic axial directions as they do in the case of transparent crystals. These phenomena can be broadly explained using the approximate theory me...
