After an introductory chapter, the role of standard logics is surveyed in two chapters.  These chapters can serve as a mini-course for interested readers, in deductive and inductive logic, or as a refresher.
Then follow two chapters of criticism; one the internal critique and the other the empirical critique.  The first deals with objections to standard logics (as theories of argument and inference) arising from the research programme in philosophical logic.  The second canvasses criticisms arising from work in cognitive and experimental psychology.

Research on pharmacogenetics has entered a period of mushrooming growth. Therefore, it is highly desirable that leading scientists in this field gather to report new advances, to review processes, to discuss conflicting findings if any, divergent interpretations regarding cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme genotypic status-clinical responses and significant implication of genetic polymorphisms in the drug target sites, and also to make more meaningful plans for the future phases and directions of research.

An understanding of pharmacogenetics will undoubtedly improve treatment of diseases. Although gene information does not solve all of the problems, nothing will be clarified without them. Therefore, it should be stressed that all these studies are possible only when a fruitful collaboration among clinicians, clinical pharmacologists and molecular biologists has been established.

0-444-50406-0,Hyperlink,Radiation and Homeostasis,"Sugahara, T.;Nikaido, O.;Niwa, O.",, ,568,Excerpta Medica,HC,"Hardbound. These proceedings aim to promote the understanding of the health hazard of radiation at low dose range and to construct a more solid basis for radiation safety policy. 

Radiation hazard has been the central issue of investigation in the field of radiation research. The two major approaches are mechanistic analysis by laboratory investigation and phenomenological analysis of radiation-exposed population as represented by epidemiology.  

In an increasingly safety-conscious society, the extremely low level risk associated with low dose of radiation has become an important issue. In this area, the phenomenological approach has a limit. 

DNA damage is the primary and direct cause of the risk. Tremendous progress has been made recently in the basic understanding of radiation effects on cells and tissues and the importance of damage response rather than damage itself.
This challenges the classical linear non-threshold hypothesis.

The objective of the 28th Leeds-Lyon Symposium on Tribology was to define current understanding of the science relating to boundary and mixed lubrication and to compare this with the needs of industry in terms of applications.

Major advances have been made in recent years in areas such as contact mechanics, wear, elastohydrodynamic lubrication incorporating surface texture, lubricant interactions with surfaces and the experimental interrogation of surface topography, surface filsm and lubtricant film thickness.  However, the needs of industry are equally intense with a seemingly relentless drive towards more compact, efficient and durable tribological systems.

Since the influenza virus was first isolated in the laboratory some 70 years ago, the disease has been the subject of intense study, and our knowledge has escalated as the newer techniques of medicine and science have made further advances possible. At the present time, our information of the disease and the virus that causes it is probably more detailed than for any other virus infection, perhaps excluding the human immunodeficiency virus. The subject of influenza divides itself into a number of specialities, and such is the pace of research and the depth of our knowledge, that workers in one area may have little understanding of the advances made in others.This volume of Perspectives in Medical Virology has enlisted twelve internationally recognised researchers on specific aspects on the subject of influenza to write a summary of the important developments in the past and offer their views on the problems that remain to be addressed.

The name of Charpy remains associated with impact testing on notched specimens. At a time when many steam engines exploded, engineers were preoccupied with studying the resistance of steels to impact loading.

The Charpy test has provided invaluable indications on the impact properties of materials. It revealed the brittle ductile transition of ferritic steels.

The Charpy test is able to provide more quantitative results by instrumenting the striker, which allows the evolution of the applied load during the impact to be determined. The Charpy test is of great importance to evaluate the embrittlement of steels by irradiation in nuclear reactors.

Safety regulation is society's way of keeping the genii of technology in the bottle, whilst still exploiting its power for creating wealth and change. It is a difficult compromise to make. Regulators often have a thankless task. If all seems to go well they are painted as too repressive and anti-technological. If disaster strikes, the searchlight of media attention increasingly focuses on them, looking for lax enforcement, blind eyes being turned and cosy relations with the regulated.

This book explores the dilemmas of the regulator through case studies presented by the regulators themselves and through research-based analyses from different disciplines of the workings of the regulators and the regulatory system.

Although it is written for students majoring in chemical engineering, it can also be used as a reference or a supplementary text in environmental, mechanical, petroleum and civil engineering courses. It has been designed in order to help students understand basic concepts that are usually difficult to grasp. These concepts are clearly explained within this text and their applications to fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reaction engineering and thermodynamics are presented through appropriate example problems. The author presents a balanced approach between synthesis and analysis. Systematic derivations of the equations as well as the physical significance of each term are given in detail so that the students can easily understand and follow up the presented material.

The combustion chemistry models that validate experimental data for different fuels are sufficiently accurate to allow confident predictions of the flame characteristics.  This illustrates a unique bridge between combustion fundamentals and combustion technology, which provides a valuable technical reference for many engineers and scientists.

The standard operating paradigm for multinational corporate expansion has been to establish fully owned and fully controlled subsidiaries. Due to the tremendous changes taking place in the international environment, however - shifting shares of world industrial output, new technologies, diverse market control forces, and new views on corporate control - alternative models have been established. Contributors to this important book take a close look at the use of these new networks of strategic alliances and cooperative ventures.

This comprehensive volume by top experts presents up-to-date assessments of cooperative forms of international business.

Silicon (Si) plays a  significant role in  the resistance of plants to multiple stresses including biotic and abiotic stresses. Silicon is also the only element that does not damage plants when accumulated in excess. However, the contribution of Si to plant growth has been largely ignored due to its universal existence in the earth's crust. From numerous intensive studies on Si, initiated in Japan about 80 years ago, Japanese scientists realized that Si was important for the healthy growth of rice and for stability of rice production. In a worldwide first, silicon  was recognized as a valuable fertilizer in Japan. The beneficial effects of Si on rice growth in particular, are largely attributable to the characteristics of a silica gel that is accumulated on the epidermal tissues in rice.

07623-09601,Hyperlink,The Economics of Skills Obsolescence,"de Grip, A.;van Loo, J.;Mayhew, K.",, ,288,Jai,HC,"Hardbound. Increasingly policy makers are focusing on the importance of skills and lifelong learning. The reason for this is that workers with sufficient and up-to-date skills are more productive and have more potential to remain employed. However, the processes that influence skill obsolescence, have largely been neglected in labor economics.

It was in the 1990s that skill issues came to the top of the agenda, because of the general awareness of the rapid technological developments that affect the demand for human capital. Although the analysis of skill-biased technological change is at the heart of this debate, in recent years, the literature has become wider than simple consideration of this aspect and has started to embrace other causes of obsolescence.

The papers in this volume are selected from the papers presented at a conference on Understanding Skills Obsolescence.
