0-444-51566-6,Handbook of Numerical Analysis : Computational Models for the Human Body,"Ciarlet, P.G.;Lions, J.L.;Ayache, N.",,Volume XII ,676,North-Holland,HC,"Hardbound. Computational Models for the Human Body is a recent and rapidly progressing area of research whose primary objective is to provide a better understanding of the physiological and mechanical behavior of the human body and to design tools for their realistic numerical simulations. This book describes concrete examples of such computational models. Although far from being exhaustive, the book covers a large range of methods and an illustrative set of applications, and proposes a number of well defined mathematical and numerical modeling of physical problems, (including formal analysis of existence and unicity of solutions for instance), followed by various numerical simulations.

0-444-50861-9,Functional Structure and Approximation in Econometrics,"Barnett, W.A.;Binner, J.M.",, ,560,North-Holland,HC,"Hardbound. Economic theory defines and constrains admissible functional form and functional structure throughout the economy.  Constraints on behavioral functions of individual economic agents and on the recursive nesting of those behavioral functions often are derived directly from economic theory.  Theoretically implied constraints on the properties of equilibrium stochastic solution paths also are common, although are less directly derived.  In both cases, the restrictions on relevant function spaces have implications for econometric modeling and for the choice of hypotheses to be tested and potentially imposed.  This book contains state-of-the-art cumulative research and results on functional structure, approximation, and estimation:  for (1) individual economic agents, (2) aggregation over those agents, and (3) equilibrium solution stochastic processes.

0-444-51565-8,Economic Growth and Social Welfare,"Clarke, M.;Islam, S.M.N",, ,304,Elsevier,HC,"Hardbound. This book studies the relationships between economic growth and social
welfare and the policy implications of these relationships for
development. Understanding the relationships between economic growth and
social welfare is an enduring issue within contemporary development
economics and welfare economics. These relationships are analysed in
this book by operationalising normative social choice theory. Normative
social choice theory is an appropriate approach as it explicitly
incorporates society's preferences, values and choices in determining
how social welfare should be defined and measured. Two approaches,
aggregate and hierarchical, are developed and empirically applied to
Thailand for a twenty-five year period 1975-1999. This book concludes
that in terms of social welfare, economic growth cannot always be
assumed desirable. What is needed is social welfare enhancing economic
growth.  A review of the policy implications of this finding is ",01-Apr-04,95,95,,"Chapter 1: Introduction.

Have traditional accounting and auditing practices been misunderstood and unfairly maligned?  Can anything be done to reverse these damaging trends? In the 1984 edition of this book, Eugene H. Flegm gave an emphatic yes to all three questions.  However, none of his suggestions were followed and today the condition of the accounting profession (defined as to include those in business as well as public accounting) is in dire straits. The regulators--FASB, SEC and the AICPA--have continued to overwhelm practicing accountants with a continuation of detailed rules making.   In this updated version of his book, Mr. Flegm explains the causes of the current crisis, how the accounting profession and the FASB failed to deal with the developing problems 20 years ago, and how there is still some hope that the integrity of the profession can be restored.He reiterates his basic belief tha",01-Apr-04,95,95,,"Chapter headings:The Challenges Accounting Faces.

0-7623-1093-6,Time in Groups,"Blount, S",, ,250,Jai,HC,"Hardbound. Human experience can only be understood across the landscape of time. Yet organizational and groups research has traditionally paid little attention to time as a construct. Over the last 15 years, several authors have begun to study different aspects of group temporality, but these contributions have been published in disparate books and journals. As a result, no integrated set of readings or unified perspective has emerged, and little research impact has been realized. The goal of this volume is to consolidate, integrate, and build upon existing research to create a framework for studying group temporality. 

The book approaches group temporality through four lenses: (1) the study of how group processes, such as relationship and trust building, information exchange, consensus building and performance, evolve over time; (2) the study of how group members internally synchronize their activities over time and align them to meet the temporal de",01-Mar-04,95,95,,"Time in groups: An introduction.

0-444-51046-X,Presurgical Assessment of the Epilepsies with Clinical Neurophysiology and Functional Imaging,"Rosenow, F.;Luders, H.O.",, ,670,Elsevier,HC,"Hardbound. The objective of resective epilepsy surgery is the complete resection or complete disconnection of the epileptogenic zone, which is defined as the area of cortex indispensable for the generation of clinical seizures. Ideally this aim should be accomplished without damaging the ""eloquent"" cortex. The epileptogenic zone can currently not be measured directly.  Therefore, a variety of diagnostic tools such as analysis of seizure semiology, neurophysiological techniques, functional testing as well as structural and functional neuroimaging are used to indirectly define the location and boundaries of the epileptogenic zone. These diagnostic methods define different cortical zones (symptomatogenic zone, irritative zone, ictal onset zone, stimulation induced seizure zone, functional deficit zone, and the epileptogenic lesion) which all are a more or less precise index of the location and extent of the epileptogenic zone.

In this textbook, the affinity of irreversible processes, defined by the second law of thermodynamics, has been treated as the main subject, rather than the equilibrium of chemical reactions.

'Representation in Mind' is the first book in the new Elsevier series 'Perspectives on Cognitive Science' and includes well known contributors in the areas of philosophy of mind, psychology and cognitive science. The papers in this volume offer new ideas, fresh approaches and new criticisms of old ideas. The papers deal in new ways with fundamental questions concerning the problem of mental representation that one contributor, Robert Cummins, has described as ""THE problem in philosophy of mind for some time now"". The editors' introductory overview considers the problem for which mental representation has been seen as an answer, sketching an influential framework, outlining some of the issues addressed and then providing an overview of the papers. Issues include: the relation between mental representation and public, non-mental representation; misrepresentation; the role of mental representations in intelligent action; the relation between repre",01-Jul-04,80,80,,"Introduction: Issues and Overview.

Given the established nature of geoscientific knowledge of the Kaapvaal craton compared to the Slave craton, and given the exciting new interdisciplinary results coming from the Kaapvaal Project and from Slave craton studies, scientists working on both cratons were brought together in a workshop to compare and contrast the nature of these two cratons. Of the 54 papers presented at the workshop, 24 are included in this volume. 

There are clearly major similarities and differences between these two Archean cratons. The crust of both was predominantly formed in the Mesoarchean. Both contain crustal sections consisting of terranes of different ages welded together by Archean accretionary events. Both crustal sections are underlain by lithospheric mantle sections consisting of peridotites that experienced extensive partial melt extraction between 2.9 Ga and 3.2 Ga, but this is where the similarities between the cratons end.

The main purpose of this book is to enhance the understanding of differences in productivity performance between countries and sectors and to improve our insight in the drivers of productivity levels and its growth. Due to demographics the speed-up of productivity growth will be of increasing importance to secure GDP growth in the future, since the other source of GDP growth (employment growth) will be limited in most Western Countries. A better insight in the patterns and drivers of productivity performance is therefore not simply a matter of academic interest, however valuable that in itself can be. Improving our knowledge of the drivers of productivity will enable us to determine which are the 'switches' policy makers have to use. The book takes the Netherlands as a case, but is hardly a book on productivity in the Low Countries alone.
