Volume 26 of Studies in Natural Product Chemistry presents the chemistry of a large number of exciting natural products. All of the chapters reflect the importance of the biological activity of nature's molecules - activity which continues to inspire the evolution of new drugs against disease. Topics covered include: the triterpenoid saponins from the Caryophyllaceae family, recent developments in the total synthesis of bioactive marine fatty acids, the chemistry and biological activity of secologanin, lignans, saffron and the bark of Fraxunus ornus. A range of natural compounds which are utilised in the assessment of environmental issues are also discussed, as are the pharmacological activities and applications of essential oils, plant growth regulators and phytotoxins. The chemistry and bioactivity of secondary metabolites is reviewed in this volume, together with the structure, chemistry and biological activity of resveratrol oligomers.

In the Second Edition of Rodd's Chemistry of the Carbon Compounds and its Supplements some topics did not receive special attention since the foot print of the series was laid down at a time when many areas were, at best, in their infancy. For this reason, reviews of this subject and similar more specialised subjects are to form the basis for a number of Topical Volumes. The electrochemistry of organic compounds, particularly its value in synthesis, was rarely highlighted in Rodd; this despite the advantage the method has in minimising over reaction. This book, the second of the Topical Volumes, seeks to redress this situation and here the electrochemical reactions of some of the main groups of organic compounds are surveyed. Specific attention is given to the use of electrochemistry in synthesis; not just of complex compounds, but where anodic oxidation, or cathodic reduction, offers viable alternatives to traditional 'chemical' met",1-May-02,238,238,"1996,This new Volume of ""Rodd"" continues to be a major service to organic chemistry...

Inverse Problems are found in many areas of engineering mechanics and there are many successful applications e.g. in non-destructive testing and characterization of material properties by ultrasonic or X-ray techniques, thermography, etc. Generally speaking, inverse problems are concerned with the determination of the input and the characteristics of a system, given certain aspects of its output. Mathematically, such problems are ill-posed and have to be overcome through development of new computational schemes, regularization techniques, objective functionals, and experimental procedures.

This volume is concerned with the analysis and interpretation of multivariate measurements commonly found in the mineral and metallurgical industries, with the emphasis on the use of neural networks. The book is primarily aimed at the practicing metallurgist or process engineer, and a considerable part of it is of necessity devoted to the basic theory which is introduced as briefly as possible within the large scope of the field. Also, although the book focuses on neural networks, they cannot be divorced from their statistical framework and this is discussed in length. The book is therefore a blend of basic theory and some of the most recent advances in the practical application of neural networks. ",1-Mar-02,182,182,,"1.

It is commonly acknowledged that the nervous system and the immune system, those most complex of networks, share attributes beyond their intricacy. Elements common to the two systems include memory, connectivity, flexibility and developmental selection of cellular composition by a rigorous process involving widespread programmed cell death. There is one salient difference: the cells of the immune system are predominantly in constant motion, while post-mitotic neurons and glia are largely fixed in place. Therefore, chemokines, initially characterized as leukocyte chemoattractants, have for the last one and one-half decades been intensely and productively studied in the contexts of inflammation, immunity and hematopoietic development.Only recently have the two fields, neurobiology and immunology, displayed mutual interests in chemokines.

For a long time in industrialized countries the state occupied a comfortable and unquestioned position in dealing with environmental problems. Since the 1960s we have witnessed the rather smooth institutionalization of environmental tasks in state policies and politics, leading to the emergence of the 'environmental state.' In the 1980s, the ideologies of deregulation and privatization formed the start of the debate on the environmental state and the 1990s left the debate facing new challenges. First, the debate became broader and more sophisticated, moving away from simple deregulation and privatization arguments and toward the issue of political modernization and reinventing government. Second, in addition to the ongoing debate on the environmental state within national boundaries, the processes of and political debates on globalization led to new challenges in the viability of the (nationally ordered) environmental-regulatory state.

An area of linguistic research can be considered mature when the validity of theoretical and empirical results is tested cross-linguistically and when predictions from different languages influence and modify the course of theoretical development. The semantics/pragmatics interface poses a special challenge in this respect because of its interdisciplinary and multi-theoretical nature. This volume attempts to bridge the gap between theory and empirical analysis by focussing on several aspects of the semantics and the pragmatics of Spanish from a variety of theoretical points of view.

Travel behavior interacts in a deep way with how we work and play. Social, intellectual, economic and technological forces continually influence the spatial and temporal activity patterns of individuals and businesses. Developments in the production, dissemination, and consumption of information have important implications for how we use our time, and how we pursue the various work, sustenance and leisure activities of our daily existence. This book provides an authoritative assessment of the state-of-the-art in travel behavior research and applications, and identifies the principal emerging trends, challenges and opportunities in this important area of transportation research. It is an outgrowth of the ""Austin Meeting"" of the International Association for Travel Behavior Research, a milestone event in defining cutting-edge problems and developments in this area.

As in previous volumes, this edition of Advances in Library Administration and Organization offers timely and interesting articles on topics of interest to library managers from scholars and practitioners working all over the world. It addresses an eclectic mix of topics that adapt theoretical concepts relating to the management of libraries to stretch the boundary of practice. The nine contributions include a definition of knowledge management and an outline of a curriculum designed to train knowledge managers developed in Australia, a case study of the application of change management at SMU, and a discussion of how ebooks fit into collection management policies. It also includes two pieces on research on the Internet, one that focuses on student use of this tool and the other on the ethical implications of Internet research.

The fields of performance measurement and management control have changed dramatically in recent years. Industry has recognized the importance of the implementation and coordination of strategy with organizational structure, management systems, and managerial behavior. Managers as well as researchers are attempting to find better ways to link performance metrics to strategy through systems like balanced scorecard and shareholder value analysis and to drive improved corporate performance. Researchers are also trying to better understand the drivers of corporate performance, the linkages between them, and how to measure their impacts on profitability. They are examining which of the various performance measurement and management control systems are more or less effective, how they fit with alternative organizational structures and strategies, and the causes of their successes and failures.
