The first article, by J. Ohtsubo, deals with the dynamics of feedback-induced instability and chaos. The characteristics of semiconductor lasers based on the rate equations, including various laser structures, are reviewed and the effects of optical feedback in semiconductor lasers are then discussed.
In the second article, by F.G. Omenetto, the progress made in recent years in the general area of the nonlinear interaction of ultrafast pulses with optical and photonic crystal fibers are discussed. In particular, ultrafast pulse measurements, pulse shaping and pulse control are discussed.
The next article, by A.B. Shvartsburg and G. Petite, presents a review of transient optical phenomena that take place in the spatial-temporal dynamics of ultrashort pulses.

Work hardening is perhaps the most intractable of the remaining problems of modern physics. It is also one of great economic importance. No wonder, then, that theorists who have a special understanding of one of the mechanisms involved have intended to underestimate the importance of other mechanisms, leading to what Friedel calls ""repeated Homeric disputes at international meetings"" and the situation in which the topics involved 'lost some of their importance, owing the the mere emphasis of the contestants"".

0-444-51049-4,Hyperlink,"Corporate Finance, Governance and Business Cycles","Krainer, R.",, ,352,North-Holland,HC,"Hardbound. Corporate Finance, Governance, and Business Cycles describes a model of how a financial system coordinates and shapes certain stylised facts of business cycles. The model is based on a conflict of interest between more risk averse bondholders, and less risk averse stockholders whose risk aversion changes over time. The corporate governance resolution of this conflict assigns the  operating decisions of the firm to stockholders and the financing decisions to bondholders. Financing decisions are then linked to operating decisions in a way that coalesces the welfare of bondholders and stockholders over the business cycle. Evidence from the nonfinancial business sector of the G-7 countries does not reject the predictions of the model.

Most of the natural and biological phenomena such as solute transport in porous media exhibit variability which can not be modeled by using deterministic approaches. There is evidence in natural phenomena to suggest that some of the observations can not be explained by using the models which give deterministic solutions. Stochastic processes have a rich repository of objects which can be used to express the randomness inherent in the system and the evolution of the system over time. The attractiveness of the stochastic differential equations (SDE) and stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) come from the fact that we can integrate the variability of the system along with the scientific knowledge pertaining to the system. One of the aims of this book is to explaim some useufl concepts in stochastic dynamics so that the scientists and engineers with a background in undergraduate differential calculus could appreciate the applicability an,01-Nov-02,100,100,,"

Proponents of free trade routinely argue that an important benefit for developing countries is that it provides significant economic opportunities for their asset-less workers. By now, virtually all developing countries, have moved towards integrating themselves more closely with the international economy. To what extent have workers actually benefited from this integration? The Impact of Trade on Labor attempts to piece together broad-based evidence on the effects of trade liberalization on labor markets in developing countries in general, and selected countries from developing Asia in particular. The analysis of the available evidence takes into account the recent theoretical advances in this area.

The volume consists of nine substantive chapters separated into two parts. A main contribution of the first part is to use a blend of both theory and empirics to point out that the impact of trade liberalization on labor markets, including adju",01-Mar-03,95,95,,"Introduction (R.Hasan, D.

The lipids of cellular membranes not only serve roles in controlling the structure and fluidity of the membrane, but are increasingly recognized for their roles as signalling molecules and modifiers of membrane protein function.  Recent studies described in this volume reveal striking changes in membrane lipids during aging and in age-related diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders.  Lipids including inositol phospholipids, cholesterol, sphingolipids and ceramides play important roles in signalling cellular responses to stress and specific stimuli such as growth factors, cytokines and neurotransmitters.  One or more of these lipid mediators has been linked to the pathogenesis of age-related diseases. 

This book provides a comprehensive review of specific membrane lipid mediators and their roles in aging and age-related disease.

The main theme of this title is that of the lipid bilayer principle. Specifically, the conclusion that the fundamental structure of biomembranes is a lipid bilayer, is based on three pivotal experimental findings: firstly, the elegant and simple experiment of establishing the orientation of amphipathic molecules at interfaces by Langmuir in 1917; secondly, Gorter and Grendel, using the Langmuir method in 1925, reported that the extracted lipid molecules from the plasma membrane of red blood cells occupying the area on the surface of a Langmuir trough was twice that or the original membrane; and thirdly, the lipid bilayer structure, as deduced from the above direct evidence, was dramatically substantiated after Rudin and his associated reconstituted a bilayer lipid membrane from the lipids extracted from a cow's brain. Today, as shown by all lines of experimental finding, there is little doubt that all biomembranes possess a lipid bilayer struct",01-Mar-03,295,295,,"Lipid bilayer priciple of biomembranes.

Transactions often differ on important dimensions from spot exchanges on perfect neo-classical markets. Information is seldom complete and instantaneous exchange is just as rare as full competition. The authors in this volume extend the standard economic model stressing the proposition that the social context is an important determinant of the governance of transactions. To foster the development of a body of cumulative knowledge in the new economic sociology, this approach is consistently applied to a diversity of topics including purchase relations, strategic alliances, and relations among lawyers and clients as well as employers and employees.
This volume is divided in three parts. The first part offers surveys of purposive behavior models in research on governance as well as theoretical work extending these models.

This fifth volume of Research on Managing Groups and Teams focuses on the relationship between identity issues and individual and group functioning. Identity issues encompass a wide range of phenomena involving the individual identities people bring to the groups they join, individuals' level of identification with particular groups, and the collective identities of specific groups or organizations. The authors in this volume take full advantage of the broad scope of identity-related phenomena, pushing our thinking about the interplay between identity and groups in new and exciting directions. In doing so, they make inroads into seemingly intractable practical problems with groups by understanding how these difficulties are rooted in the identities people strive to create and maintain.  This book will be of interest to social scientists from all domains who are interested in how identity issues influence the performance of individuals,",01-Apr-03,90,90,,"List of contributors.

Fuel Cells are growing in importance as sources of sustainable energy and will doubtless form part of the changing programme of energy resources in the future.

The Handbook of Fuel Cell Modelling looks at how engineers can model fuel cell systems to get optimal results for any application. Modelling is mainly concerned with the electrodes and electrolytes in fuel cell systems, and this book is a practical summary of how to create models, how to manipulate them and how to interpret results.

It is a hands-on book which is high in detail and written by experts in the field.

Entrepreneurship fosters the introduction of new products, processes, and organizations.  It provides the flexibility and dynamism required for responding to new market opportunities and challenges. Despite all of this, entrepreneurship is not well understood. Who is an entrepreneur?  What conditions promote entrepreneurship? How does it differ across firms and across countries? Fortunately, as revealed in the chapters included in this volume, there is an active research agenda on entrepreneurship.
