ISIS/RISKLINE
An international database of Health, Safety and Environmental Data Published by Elsevier Science on behalf of HASKONING and KEMI
ELSEVIER ISIS/RISKLINE ON CD-ROM

If you have answered yes to any of these questions, as a Manager in the area of environmental health and regulatory affairs, you need to have at hand a reliable data source to ensure the safety of your employees and the environment and to comply with EC directives.

In recent decades extensive legislation has come into force in the European Union as part of the environmental, labour and safety policies. Companies and local authorities are confronted with this legislation and are being made to accept ever greater responsibility for their procedures and products.

These rapid developments have led to an increasing dependence on information - information which is complete and reliable.

The provision of information on substances in particular is extremely important.

This ISIS/RISKLINE System on CD-ROM offers a solution to this challenge. It is a comprehensive, easy to use source which will provide you with the information you need and want to have in an efficient and timely fashion.

Originally commissioned by the Substances, Safety and Radiation Directorate of the Dutch Ministry for Housing, Town and Country Planning and the Environment, ISIS/RISKLINE has been developed by HASKONING Consulting Engineers and Architects in the Netherlands together with KEMI, the National Chemicals Inspectorate in Sweden.

ISIS/RISKLINE is available in English, Dutch and Spanish in CD-ROM format. The language versions differ slightly from one another. This brochure summarises the possibilities offered by the English version.

The ISIS/RISKLINE database contains:

The International Substances Information System subfile which provides data on more than 180,000 substances.

The RISKLINE bibliographic sub-file, currently covering more than 6000 peer-reviewed documents.

PERGAMON This book presents the results of work carried out by a subgroup of COST 91 during several years of the 4 year COST 91 project on the effect of thermal processing, on the quality and nutritive value of food. Cost is the European Cooperation in Science and Technology Programme.[/p] [p] This subgroup of COST 91 on industrial cooking was divided into three process groups studying areas such as boiling, frying, roasting, sterilization; bread baking - including fermentation; and the particular treatments applied in catering, such as reheating and heat retention. It was necessary to establish two working parties to decide the guidelines for planning experiments as well as for presenting experimental data and formulating common terminology.[/p] [p] This multilingual publication is divided into two parts. The first part contains the guidelines which were established and gives definitions of physical principles and mathematical expressions concerning the cooking of foods and definitions of cooking terms in alphabetical order, given in English, French and German. The second part consists of a number of wordlists in different languages. These wordlists are so constructed that it is possible to select a term in one's own language and, then, to find the corresponding terms in English, French and German. The lists can also be used in the reverse. Besides English, sixteen other languages (including all COST country languages) are represented in this work.[/p] [p] This book will assist users in finding the appropriate cooking terms when publishing their own methods and results.[/p] Preface.

Growth and Properties of Ultrathin Epitaxial Layers
1997
ELSEVIER Although there has been steady progress in understanding aspects of epitaxial growth throughout the last 30 years of modern surface science, work in this area has intensified greatly in the last 5 years. A number of factors have contributed to this expansion. One has been the general trend in surface science to tackle problems of increasing complexity as confidence is gained in the methodology, so for example, the role of oxide/metal interfaces in determining the properties of many practical supported catalysts is now being explored in greater detail. A second factor is the recognition of the potential importance of artificial multilayer materials not only in semiconductor devices but also in metal/metal systems because of their novel magnetic properties. Perhaps even more important than either of these application areas, however, is the newly-discovered power of scanning probe microscopies, and most notably scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), to provide the means to study epitaxial growth phenomena on an atomic scale under a wide range of conditions. These techniques have also contributed to revitalised interest in methods of fabricating and exploiting artificial structures (lateral as well as in layers) on a nanometre scale.

This volume, on Growth and Properties of Ultrathin Epitaxial Layers, includes a collection of articles which reflects the present state of activity in this field. The emphasis is on metals and oxides rather than semiconductors. 1. Surface processes in epitaxial growth (J.A. Venables).
2. The many facets of epitaxy (E. Bauer).
3. Epitaxial growth modes far from equilibrium (G. Rosenfeld et al.).
4. Dynamics and diffusion of atoms at stepped surfaces (T.T. Tsong, C. Chen).
5. Heteroepitaxial metal growth: The effects of strain (H. Brune, K. Kern).
6. Surface alloying in heteroepitaxial metal-on-metal growth (F. Besenbacher, L.P. Nielsen, P.T. Sprunger).
7. Epitaxial growth of Si on Si(001) (F. Liu, M.G. Lagally).
8. Monolayer films of unreactive metals on semiconductors (G. Le Lay).
9. Structure and electronic properties of ultrathin oxide films on metallic substrates (H. Kuhlenbeck, H.-J. Freund).
10. Chemical and spectroscopic studies of ultrathin oxide films (S.C. Street, D.W. Goodman).
11. Growth, structure and reactivity of ultrathin metal films on TiO₂ surfaces (R. Persaud, T.E. Madey).
12. Intrinsic stress of epitaxial thin films and surface layers (R. Koch).
13. Density-functional theory of epitaxial growth of metals (P. Ruggerone, C. Ratsch, M. Scheffler).
14. Electronic structure of ultrathin magnetic films (P.D. Johnson).
15. Ultrathin magnetic structures - magnetism and electronic properties (J.A.C. Bland). CPSSThe Chemical Physics of Solid Surfaces8  Out of print 672 pages Hardbound

Document Image Processing
A Management Briefing and Market Survey 1993
ELSEVIER ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY Please note this is a Short Discount Publication.

Document Image Processing is an emerging technology which threatens to impact upon the methods of working across all business sectors large and small. With DIP the ideal of the paperless office comes closer to being realised, as computer systems within the business cease to operate purely on text or figures, but include the use of document facsimiles as well.

The emerging DIP opportunity has been made possible by the linkage of relational databases to new archival media, and will not only substitute existing document systems, but offers a wealth of new possibilities. Many of these are changing the way in which people work, by eliminating paper forms, by physically separating workers from the paperwork, and by creating new and more efficient ways of managing workflow in an organisation.

Scope and Objectives of the Report:

ELSEVIER This volume describes engineering applications of the mechanics of deformable bodies and the elasticity theory relevant to them. It is concerned mainly with one-dimensional problems, which arise because either one of the dimensions of a body is much greater than the remaining two or the functions of two or three variables may be reduced to one variable. Problems of this type are of twofold importance. Firstly, many engineering problems can be described with sufficient accuracy just in this way. Secondly, unidimensional problems with known analytical solutions may serve either for testing numerical methods or for the analysis of fundamental concepts and phenomena, whose physical nature in three-dimensional approach might be obscured by the analytical-numerical aspect. The authors have confined themselves for the most part to the analysis of elastic behaviour of structures; however some attention is also given to elastic problems. A deterministic approach has been applied throughout the book. It will serve as a springboard for further work with stochastic approaches which are being increasingly used in engineering practice today. Parts: 1. Statics of Bars and Bar Structures (Z. Kaczkowski). Bars of solid cross-section. Fundamental static-kinematic analysis of bar structures. The principle of virtual work and the reciprocity theorems. Internal forces and displacements of the axis of an element. 2. Dynamics of Bars and Bar Structures (Z. Kaczkowski). Bars with infinitely many dynamic degrees of freedom. Vibration of bar structures. Structures with a finite number of dynamic degrees of freedom. Static equations of bar structures and fundamental solution methods. Isostatic systems. The direct flexibility method (force method). The direct stiffness method. 3. Stability of Bars and Bar Structures (M. Zyczkowski). Fundamental concepts and stability criteria. Elastic stability of axially compressed prismatic bars. Approximate calculation methods for critical loadings. Compressed elastic bars with initial imperfections. Elastic-plastic buckling. Creep buckling. Stability and optimal design of compressed non-prismatic bars. Spatial problems of loss of stability of bars. Problems of dynamic buckling. Stability of bar structures. 4. Mechanics of Thin-Walled Bars (Z. Brzoska). The strength scheme of a thin-walled bar. Statics of bars of open cross-section. Statics of bars of tubular cross-section. Statics of bars of deformable cross-section. Statics of curved bars. Stability of thin-walled bars. 5. Stress Concentration, Contact Stresses (J. Olesiak). Stresses around cavities and notches. Stress concentration in plates and shells. Theory of fracture of structural components. Contact problems. 6. Axially Symmetrical Problems of Structural Mechanics (J. Lipka).

A new class of lag window estimates indifferent to remote frequencies is introduced and pseudorandom sequences are investigated from the point of view of their nearness to the sequence of white noise. Principles and algorithms are given for constructing an ideal sequence. A good achievement is the new estimates of higher spectral density asymptotically unbiased and consistent for all admissible values of the argument. A new type of the random number generator which is sufficiently close to white noise is introduced. I. Cumulant Estimates of Stochastic Processes and Random Fields. II.

Systems theory, response surface concepts, and basic statistics serve as a basis for the further development of matrix least squares and hypothesis testing. The effects of different experimental designs and different models on the variance-covariance matrix and on the analysis of variance (ANOVA) are extensively discussed. Applications and advanced topics (such as confidence bands, rotatability, and confounding) complete the text. Numerous worked examples are presented.

The clear and practical approach adopted by the authors makes the book applicable to a wide audience. It will appeal particularly to those with a practical need (scientists, engineers, managers, research workers) who have completed their formal education but who still need to know efficient ways of carrying out experiments. It will also be an ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students following courses in chemometrics, data acquisition and treatment, and design of experiments. Introduction. 1.

Microstructure and Wear of Materials
1987
NORTH-HOLLAND This new book will be useful not only to practising engineers and scientists, but also to advanced students interested in wear. It reviews our current understanding of the influence of microstructural elements and physical properties of materials (metals, polymers, ceramics and composites) on wear. The introductory chapters describe the relation between microstructure and mechanical properties of materials, surfaces in contact and the classification of wear processes. The following chapters are concerned with wear modes of great practical interest such as grooving wear, sliding wear, rolling-sliding wear and erosive wear. Our present understanding of abrasion, adhesion, surface fatigue and tribochemical reactions as the relevant wear mechanisms is discussed, and new wear models are presented. In addition to extensive experimental results, sketches have been widely used for clarifying the physical events. 1. Introduction. History. Mechanisms of damage. Definition of wear. 2. Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Materials. Structure of solids. Structure of solid surfaces. Volume properties of materials. Surface properties of materials. 3. Surfaces in Contact.

NORTH-HOLLAND The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the theory of distributions, by the use of solved problems. Although written for mathematicians, it can also be used by a wider audience, including engineers and physicists. The first six chapters deal with the classical theory, with special emphasis on the concrete aspects. The reader will find many examples of distributions and learn how to work with them. At the beginning of each chapter the relevant theoretical material is briefly recalled. The last chapter is a short introduction to a very wide and important field in analysis which can be considered as the most natural application of distributions, namely the theory of partial differential equations. It includes exercises on the classical differential operators and on fundamental solutions, hypoellipticity, analytic hypoellipticity, Sobolev spaces, local solvability, the Cauchy problem, etc. 1.

Recent Advances in Field Theory and Statistical Mechanics
Proceedings of the Les Houches Summer School, Session XXXIX, August/September 1982 1984
NORTH-HOLLAND Over the last ten years, quantum field theory and statistical mechanics have undergone quick and parellel developments characterized by the emergence of new ideas and the use of common concepts and methods. In particular, the renormalization group ideas have been successfully applied to the study of critical behaviour in quantum field theories. Simultaneously, the flourishing of gauge theories has produced a complete renewal in the theory of elementary particles. In view of this burst of ideas and new results, this Les Houches summer school was organised and open to physicists working in the domains of field theory, particle physics, condensed matter and neighbouring fields. The resulting proceedings provide an up-to-date review of the important developments in these fields. Courses: 1. Field theories and phase transitions (S.H. Shenker). 2. The principles of instanton calculus: a few applications (J. Zinn-Justin). 3. Perturbative approach to surface fluctuations (D.J. Wallace). 4. Chiral symmetry and chiral symmetry breaking (M.E.

Global Palaeoclimate of the Late Cenozoic
1990
ELSEVIER This is a detailed description of the history and chronology of global climate based on event-signal stratigraphy. The history of global climate is described for the last fifty million years with the description for the last one million years in detail. Climatostratigraphic sequences of twelve key regions are taken as a basis, eight of them situated in the USSR territories. Chronology of climatic events of the Pleistocene, Pliocene and Miocene is developed based on palaeomagnetic and radiometric data. The authors' version of its correlation with oxygene-isotope scales of deep-sea sediments is given. Theoretical problems of climatic stratigraphy and palaeoclimatology are discussed, in particular, the causes of climatic change. The Northern Hemisphere palaeoclimatic reconstructions are made for the Holocene, Eemian and Pliocene temperature optima, considered as possible palaeoanalogues of climate of the 21st Century. The book is intended primarily for a wide circle of scientific workers, palaeoclimatologists and palaeogeographers, but will also interest geologists, biologists, palaeomagnetologists and archaeologists.

Foundations of Mechanics
1992
ELSEVIER In the last three decades the field of mechanics has seen spectacular progress due to the demand for applications in problems of cosmology, thermonuclear fusion, metallurgy, etc. This book provides a broad and thorough overview on the foundations of mechanics. It discusses theoretical mechanics and continuum mechanics, as well as phenomenological thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and relativistic mechanics. Each chapter presents the basic physical facts of interest without going into details and derivations and without using advanced mathematical formalism. The first part constitutes a classical exposition of Lagrange's and Hamilton's analytical mechanics on which most of the continuum theory is based. The section on continuum mechanics focuses mainly on the axiomatic foundations, with many pointers for further research in this area. Special attention is given to modern continuum thermodynamics, both for the foundations and applications. A section on quantum mechanics is also included, since the phenomenological description of various quantum phenomena is becoming of increasing importance. The work will prove indispensable to engineers wishing to keep abreast of recent theoretical advances in their field, as well as initiating and guiding future research. Parts: I. Analytical Mechanics (R. Gutowski). 1. Constrained mechanical system. 2. Variational principles of mechanics. 3.

New Trends in Autonomic Nervous System Research
Basic and Clinical Integration Selected Proceedings of the 20th International Congress of Neurovegetative Research, Tokyo, Japan, 10-14 September 1990 1991
EXCERPTA MEDICA The autonomic nervous system innervates every organ of the body and plays a vital role in "Supporting Life and Health". This main theme of the 20th International Congress of Neurovegetative Research reflects the enormous scope and importance of medical research relating to the autonomic nervous system. The field of neurovegetative research is attracting interdisciplinary interest from both basic medical research scientists and clinicians. This volume covers recent advances and introduces new insight into the autonomic nervous system, notably the interaction between autonomic nervous system and immune processes, biorhythm and psychosomatic processes, occurring in the body and mind. Its content was extracted from 10 special lectures, 13 symposia and many free papers and contributes to a growing body of research stemming from the most innovative methodologies and broad-based approaches. As interdisciplinary links grow stronger, neurovegetative research will ultimately play a direct role in finding cures for disease and developing medical treatments. Preface. Lectures (9 papers).

Selected and Reviewed Papers and Reports from the IFIP TC5/WG5.2 Third International Workshop on Computer Aided Design, Osaka, Japan, 26-29 September 1989 1991
NORTH-HOLLAND Design is at least as much a process of discovery as it is a purposeful manipulation of facts into a contemplated solution. Although the aspect of design which involves discovery can perhaps never be fully automated, we can expect to build systems to aid or to automate various problem solving aspects of design. The concept of an intelligent CAD system as the computer side of an effective human-computer team working on a design problem is by now well established. Such a team should relieve human designers from the routine and more mundane tasks encountered in the course of a design, allowing them to concentrate on more creative aspects. A conventional CAD system merely documents the outcome of a design, while an intelligent CAD system makes a meaningful contribution to the actual progress of a design.

This volume contains the results of the IFIP workshop on intelligent CAD. Included are reports from the chairpersons of the three subgroups and plenary sessions, invited papers, and papers selected from contributions. The selected papers were first reviewed by the program committee and chairpersons and then revised based on their comments.

Proceedings of the IFIP TC5 Workshop, Boston, MA, USA, 6-8 October 1987 1989
NORTH-HOLLAND Current CAD (Computer-Aided Design) systems, as used in many industries, are able to manipulate geometrical shapes very successfully. However, some would say that CAD means ``Computer-Aided Drawing'', i.e. CAD is only a very sophisticated drawing board, never intended to assist the thought processes of the designer. Automated design systems do exist, but these are limited to specific products with only a few varying parameters. This book deals with ``Intelligent CAD'', the concept of a system that could assist designers throughout the design process, deal with any object, and be connected to any other information processing system, such as CAM. The research papers collected here are from designers, and from researchers in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science. Part I: Reports. Design Object Modeling (F. Arbab).

Information Infrastructure Systems for Manufacturing
Proceedings of the JSPE/IFIP TC5/WG5.3 Workshop, DIISM '93, Tokyo, Japan, 8-10 November 1993 1993
NORTH-HOLLAND The possible benefits, the external characteristics, and the broad-range requirements of information infrastructure systems for intelligent manufacturing systems are widely known. However, it is recognized that various problems are impeding achievement in this area, including the lack of understanding and agreement about techniques and methods for coordinating and systematizing the broad-range information processing requirements, and for synthesizing these requirements into deeply structured, easily adaptable and comprehensive conceptual models. This hampers the development of information infrastructures amalgamating the conceptual models and computing/communication/storage technologies, and the development of intelligent manufacturing systems amalgamating the information infrastructures with advanced machine tools and skillful people.

This publication elaborates on these issues and affords a greater understanding of, and agreement about, methods, techniques and tools for solving related problems. To ensure an in-depth coverage of the wide problem domain, contributions, sourced from reknowned experts, are focused on some of the most relevant research and development issues. The book will provide a useful foundation of information for further research and development on information infrastructure systems for manufacturing. Preface. Program Committee.

Design Theory for CAD
Proceedings of the IFIP WG5.2 Working Conference, Tokyo, Japan, 1-3 October 1985 1987
NORTH-HOLLAND Since the process of design is determined by the amount and type of knowledge available to the designer, it may be treated as a problem of information processing. This book aims at establishing a paradigm of design theory through scientific discussion - essential to the continued development of computer-aided design. The contributions are drawn from many fields of technology: mechanical, electrical, architectural, naval architectural, and computer software. This broad base allows an accurate presentation of the state-of-the-art in the research and development of intelligent CAD, and an assessment of practical problems such as the selection of CAD tools. The conclusions drawn will be of importance to those involved in both basic and applied research, and in design. 1. An Approach to Design Theory (A. Bijl).

Safety of Reactive Chemicals
1987
ELSEVIER Accidents involving reactive chemicals can often be prevented, or their effects alleviated, if those handling them have a sound knowledge both of their hazardous properties and of appropriate handling methods. This book provides the necessary information. It opens with a description of some typical case histories of accidents involving reactive chemicals. Evaluation methods of energy hazard without computation and testing are then given (useful for preliminary hazard assessment), followed by two practical methods for predicting energy hazard by computation. All the data necessary for calculation are given so that the reader may easily apply these methods to his own problems. In the next three chapters, the testing methods are introduced in detail and examples of results of each test and comprehensive evaluations are given. The final three chapters deal in turn with activities of safety organizations in different countries, emergency response systems, and countermeasures to be adopted for the storage and handling of reactive chemicals in areas where earthquakes may occur. There are few books available on this subject and none which covers it so comprehensively. The contents are both comprehensive and new; each of the methods described is practical, effective and of low cost; and many of the application results are from the author's own laboratory. The book will be useful to those in public and industrial safety laboratories, R & D chemical laboratories, Fire Departments, explosives manufacturers, and those responsible for the transportation of hazardous materials. 1.

Recent Progress in Posterior Pituitary Hormones 1988
Proceedings of the Satellite Symposium on Posterior Pituitary Hormones, Hakone, Japan, 14-16 July 1988. 1988
EXCERPTA MEDICA Due to the rapid progress and expansion during the past decade in both clinical and basic research regarding the specialized field of posterior pituitary hormones it was considered appropriate to organize a satellite symposium of the 8th International Congress of Endocrinology in order to clarify the status of the present knowledge available. Held in Hakone, Japan, July 14-16, 1988, the recent progress in research was presented in 49 lectures and 76 posters, and was discussed by nearly 150 scientists from 17 countries. This volume contains the proceedings of the lectures given during this symposium. The various aspects of posterior pituitary hormones and related fields were covered, leaving the impression that greater insight into this specialized endocrine system would lead to a significant unravelling of many of the as yet unanswered questions in neurobiology a well as in clinical medicine. Researchers and students who are interested in the field of neuroendocrinology and female reproductive endocrinology along with physicians who are interested in the field of water and electrolyte metabolism will find this volume interesting and informative.

Molecular Approaches to the Study and Treatment of Human Diseases
Proceedings of the International Symposium on Genetic Intervention in Diseases with Unknown Etiology, Tokyo, Japan, 30 November - 1 December 1990 1992
EXCERPTA MEDICA Enormous technical advances in the field of eukaryotic genetics have provided the opportunity to study human biology as intensively as previous studies of prokaryotic biology. However, despite spectacular progress in our understanding of the molecular basis of human genetic diseases, they usually remain difficult to cure, and often fatal in the pediatric age group. This volume is timely in addressing new genetic approaches to studying and treating intractable diseases with known and unknown etiology.

A first step in many experiments is the isolation of genes responsible for disease. The function and regulation of these genes can then be studied in vivo using the powerful techniques of mouse genetics described here so eloquently. Mouse models are invaluable in the study of immunological disorders, neuropathy, enzyme deficiency and metabolic diseases. Technology used for developing animal models of human diseases has tremendous potential for the definition of gene function and the study of developmental processes. This volume addresses possible clinical applications of gene manipulation at present and in the future. Ultimately these studies aim to increase understanding of the disease process and lead to more rational approaches to drug therapy, and secondly to refine therapies based on somatic gene transfer.

Basic Mechanisms of Granulomatous Inflammation
Proceedings of the International Symposium, Fukuoka, Japan, 28-29 November 1988 1989
EXCERPTA MEDICA Recombinant cytokines have recently become available for the treatment of cancer, and the study of granuloma formation should provide an excellent opportunity for analysing the underlying mechanisms of cytokine functions in vivo. An investigation of granulomas will also advance understanding of macrophage differentiation in vivo. Research into macrophage differentiation is one of the key issues in immunobiology. However, an examination of macrophage-like cell lines to establish processes of macrophage differentiation has only achieved limited results due to the abnormal distinction of cell lines from tissue macrophages. Studies of granuloma formation would facilitate research and offer a more in-depth understanding of the exact mechanism of macrophage differentiation in vivo. Research progress has been somewhat gradual, but with the recent advent of biological and molecular technologies, more rapid advances are on the horizon.

Vehicle Traction Mechanics
1984
ELSEVIER The fundamental problem in the study of vehicle mobility is the development of traction between the vehicle and the supporting terrain. The mechanics of energy transfer will essentially control the final performance of the surficial machine. Determining and predicting the capability of a particular piece of machinery to traverse successfully a specific piece of terrain is very complex, particularly as the characteristics and properties of different types of terrain cover vary considerably, as do the many types of vehicle and their running gear. The material that forms the basis of this book has been gathered over many years of study both in the laboratory and in the field. It studies vehicle traction mechanics from the viewpoint of the interaction between the vehicle and the ground surface. The types of machines covered include earth-moving, forestry, agricultural, and construction machines. In addition, the mechanisms involved in the development of traction and the working of the terrain through cultivation, construction and surface disturbances are examined. The book also addresses the problems of off-road mobility and terrain trafficability, especially from the terrain-support and terrain interaction points of view. It is the authors' aim that the book will provide the reader with the ability to both analyze and predict the traction capability of his proposed machinery, and also to anticipate the kinds of reactions that will occur in the ground and at the ground surface. 1.

Principles of Contaminant Transport in Soils
1992
ELSEVIER In landfilling technology, it is accepted that the soil substrate underlying the landfill can be used as a physical and chemical buffer (i.e. to accumulate and attenuate contaminant leachates emanating from the waste pile). This places a great responsiblity on the landfill constructor to determine correctly the capability of the soil substrate to perform its buffering funtions. This book covers the physico-chemical processes which control the transport of aqueous and nonaqueous phase liquids in soils, and aims to provide a viable and reliable transport model for accurate forecasting of transport performance of contaminant plume for the time period of concern.

Planning as Control: Policy and Resistance in a Deeply Divided Society
1995
PERGAMON This paper focuses on the links between planning policy and the problems of ethnic minorities, by examining in detail the planning and development of Majd el Krum - an urbanizing Arab village in Israel's Galilee region. It proposes a theoretical framework to analyse the way in which spatial planning can be used as a tool for controlling disadvantaged groups, primarily for the purpose of advancing majority interests and preserving a hierarchical social and political order. It then traces the use of planning in Israel to control the growth and development of a typical large (and urbanizing) Arab village. The analysis demonstrates in detail how planning policies, which were conceived by the early founders of planning as tools for reform and modernization, can be systematically used for the opposite purpose of controlling a minority population. The paper then examines the consequences of Israel's control policies in the village, focusing on Arab protest, electoral behaviour and extra-parliamentary activity. The evidence shows that state policies of control have spawned Arab resistance which has fluctuated broadly in accordance with the level of control embedded in Israel's policies. The role of spatial (planning) policies in triggering resistance has been significant. Finally, the implications of the findings to planning theory and policy are discussed. Abstract.

Proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on HDTV and beyond, Turin, Italy, 4-6 September 1991 1992
ELSEVIER The HDTV workshops were established with the aim of aiding definition and fostering the introduction of HDTV. Their fundamental principle is the separation of the standardisation process from the technological development, with the workshops concentrating mainly on the latter. Over the past few years important steps towards actual implementation of HDTV have been made in the major countries. HDTV is now considered to be a strategic piece of applied research in virtually all countries of the world and in many environments there is mounting pressure to start up service and equipment manufacturing. The papers presented in this volume constitute a key contribution to the establishment of this giant step towards a fully fledged information society. Due to the extensive length of the contents, only the number of papers presented per session is listed below. Opening remarks (L. Chiariglione). Invited Papers (F.

Molecular Biology for Oncologists
1993
ELSEVIER Molecular Biology for Oncologists introduces clinicians to the extraordinary power and importance of molecular biology in the research and treatment of cancer. It explains how new techniques involving the manipulation of genetic material in cells and organisms provide dramatic insight into how cell behaviour is subverted in common human cancers. The book shows how techniques of cell and molecular biology improve the understanding and effectiveness of radiation and drug actions, and leads to the development of gene therapy. Ultimately, techniques of molecular biology will help to identify the specific genetic and environmental factors predisposing to cancer, offering the means of cancer prevention.

About half of the authors are scientists established in their fields. The other half are practising oncologists applying the techniques of molecular biology to their own research. They have all been asked to provide a teaching document rather than a detailed review with emphasis on clear explanations and clinical relevance. A separate section is included which specifically describes the most common and important techniques in molecular biology. Also a glossary of terms and a comprehensive index are also provided. The book will be of value to all medical, radiation and surgical oncologists whether in practice, training or research. It will also be useful for university-based courses for specialists, particularly those who recognise the need to develop the interface between the clinic and the laboratory. Section I: Oncogenes. 1. What are cancer genes and how do they upset cell behaviour? (J. Yarnold). 2. Mechanisms of activation and inactivation of dominant oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes (M. Stratton). 3. Approaches to proto-oncogene and tumour suppressor gene identification (H. Patterson). 4. Transgenic modelling of dominant and recessive oncogene function (F.S. Pardo, E.V. Schmidt). 5. The BCL-2 gene in clinical oncology (M. Brada, M. Dyer). 6. Identification and significance of EGFR and erbB2 overexpression (D.P. Hollywood, W.J. Gullick). 7. GTP-binding proteins and cancer (J.

Self-Testing VLSI Design
1993
ELSEVIER A distinctive feature of modern computer equipment development is the continuous increase in functionality and complexity of computer components. As a result of these advances, very large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits have found extensive application in the manufacture of computer products, personal computers included. Among a variety of recently evolved VLSI design technologies, the self-test VLSI design has gained particular prominence.

The present study provides a current review on the problems of self-test VLSI design. A summary is given on self-test VLSI design results that have been obtained by scientists in leading scientific centres for computer integrated circuits. Emphasis is placed on the theoretical fundamentals of designing self-test VLSI building blocks such as built-in test generators and output response analyzers. Particular attention is paid to: Structural design of self-test VLSI circuits; design of universal modules for self-test VLSI circuits; and examination of the VLSI circuits for signature testability. It has been clearly demonstrated that the design-for-testability techniques employed by this method provide ideal conditions for the straightforward implementation of self-test concepts. The work will prove essential reading for all those interested in both the basic facts and current research in this field. (Abbreviated) 1. VLSI Design. Achievements in microelectronics.

ELSEVIER Motivated by international competition and an easy access to high-speed computers the manufacturing and materials processing industry has seen many changes in recent times. New techniques are constantly being devloped based on a broad range of basic sciences including physics, chemistry and particularly thermal-fluids sciences and kinetics. In order to produce and treat massive products, the industry is also in need of a very wide range of engineering knowledge and skill for integrating metallurgy, mechanics, electricity, transport phenomena, instrumentation and computer control.

This monograph covers a part of these demands, namely by presenting the available knowledge on transport phenomena in manufacturing and materials processing. It is divided into four parts. Part I deals with the fundamentals of transport phenomena, including the transfer of momentum, energy, mass, electric and magnetic properties. Parts II and III are concerned with applications of the fundamentals in transport phenomena occurring in manufacturing and materials processing, respectively. Emphasis has been placed on common aspects of both discciplines, such as forming, machining, welding, casting, injection molding, surface processes, heating and cooling, solidification, crystal growth and diffusion. Part IV deals with beam technology and microgravity, two topics of current importance. Preface. Table of Contents. Fundamentals. Flow, heat and mass transfer. Electromagnetism.

Advances in Plant Glycosides, Chemistry and Biology
Proceedings of the International Symposium on Plant Glycosides, Kunming, China, August 12-15, 1997 1999
ELSEVIER In the plant kingdom a variety of chemical constituents occur in a glycoside form (conjugation with sugar). Glycosides are important, secondary metabolites. The structural diversity is a result of the vast amount of varieties and stereochemical configurations of the sugar component. Aglycones belong to terpenoid, steroid, flavonoid, quinonoid, lignan, other simple phenolics, and isothiocyanate. However, biological activities of glycosides are, in many cases, susceptible to the nature of sugar moieties, even though their aglycone is the same.

Since the 80s, plant glycosides have been attracting an increasing volume of interest from botanists and phytochemists world-wide for the following reasons:

The first International Symposium on Plant Glycosides (ISPG), held in Kunming, China was attended by more than 150 scientists from 17 countries. During the four day meeting, 96 reports on plant glycosides, including structure elucidation, ethnobotany, pharmacology, quantitative evaluation, synthesis, pharmacology and biotechnology were presented. 54 of these papers are given in this volume. All these papers review recent research results on plant glycosides. Selected Papers. Significance of glycosides in food materials (O. Tanaka).

Chemical Sensor Technology, Volume 4
1992
ELSEVIER This volume is the fourth in a series of annual reviews on progress in the research and technology, both basic and applied, of chemical sensors. New principles, new devices, and the detailed mechanism of various chemical sensors are described. Chemical sensors continue to grow rapidly in importance encompassing a broad spectrum of technologies covering safety, pollution, fuel economy, medical engineering and industrial processes. More than half the papers in this volume are relevant to biosensing, a strategic field for medical and health care equipment, especially in geriatric medicine. Frequent health checks at home will be increasingly necessary as the proportion of the aged in the population steadily grows. In some cases health conditions will have to be monitored constantly to give warnings or provide emergency assistance at the right time. Because biochemical substances play major roles in physiological processes such as metabolism, excitation and contraction of skeletal muscle and neurotransmission, chemical sensing of the related biochemical substances will eventually become indispensable.

Each chapter is written by an expert active in the front lines of chemical sensor research. Not only is the technological essence of the subject provided, but also the background and philosophy, an evaluation of achievements to date and problems to be dealt with.

Polysaccharides
Syntheses, Modifications and Structure/Property Relations 1988
ELSEVIER This book provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the structures and properties of polysaccharides, methods for their characterization, de novo synthesis, and modification, as well as advances in structure/function correlations. Many of these topics are summarized for the first time. A brief survey of polysaccharide structures is given highlighting the most significant advances in analytical and spectroscopic technology (NMR, MS, etc.). A chapter is devoted to glycan properties, including conformational aspects, rheological and compatibility characteristics, etc. There is a comprehensive overview of the de novo synthesis of carbohydrate polymers, the transformation of glycans into novel types of polymers, and the preparation of linear and branched polysaccharide analogues and conjugates with synthetic polymers via chemical and enzymatic approaches. The book also details the factors controlling the uniformity of substitutions in homogeneous and heterogeneous derivatization processes and the elucidation of the substitution patterns of partially modified polysaccharides, through combined spectroscopic and statistical methods. One of the important developments in the glycan field is based on the increasing demand for greater control of the functional properties of these biopolymers. The book provides a very extensive account of various types of modifications, including selective and non-selective chemical techniques, biological methods that facilitate alterations or specific functional groups and properties through the application of synthetic or degradative enzymes, and mutational or recombinant DNA techniques. The coverage extends to the control of glycan integrity and molecular weight through chemical enzymatic, physical or other methods. Electrochemical modification techniques are also discussed. A particularly up-to-date and comprehensive review is given of polysaccharide structure/property relations. Here, the effects of primary structural parameters (composition, molecular size, branching, polyelectrolyte character and non-carbohydrate substituents) are discussed, as are factors which affect glycan solubility, viscosity and gel-forming capacity. Also included are the phenomena resulting from the interactions of polysaccharides with solvents, salts, polyols, surfactants, synthetic and biological polymers. The impact of glycan structural parameters on various biological activities, such as immunological, anticoagulant, and antitumour properties, is surveyed. The book features a foreword by Dr. R.H. Marchessault, and contains almost 2,000 references to the state-of-the-art in the field, as well as an extensive subject index, over 40 tables, and 130 schemes and illustrations. It provides a wealth of valuable information for specialists in polysaccharides, biochemists, biotechnologists, enzymologists, microbiologists, organic chemists, polymer scientists, and others whose work involves these biopolymers.

ELSEVIER This volume contains over 30 scientific contributions and several review chapters on important research topics involving carbohydrate polymers. The book is based on recent developments in industrial polysaccharides in such areas as genetic engineering, chemistry, spectroscopy, and industrial applications. A number of significant scientific and technological breakthroughs are included. Extensive coverage is given on various chemical and enzymatic methodologies for systematic structural manipulations of polysaccharides, e.g. controlled manipulation of the biosynthetic pathways of industrial biopolymers such as PMB and xanthan gum, the effects of systematic enzymatic post-modification of galactomannans and molecular conformation studies of glycans. An important part of the volume is devoted to progress in the understanding of the important polysaccharide structure/property relations. Powerful chemical and enzymatic methodologies have advanced the prospects for the design of products with desired properties much closer to realization than ever before. The work also contains a number of contributions on emerging commercial applications ranging from oil field chemicals, to waste treatment, pesticides, cosmetics, foods, controlled drug delivery, wound treatment and other therapeutics. Several reviews on selected topics have been included in order to provide readers unfamiliar to these areas with background information. The volume will be of interest to specialists in polysaccharides, as well as to non-specialists whose work involves these materials.

Anti-Zionism as Anti-Judaism in Egypt 1989
PERGAMON A unique contribution to our knowledge of attitudes toward Jews on the part of important individuals and organizations within contemporary Egypt. The author examines the content and ideological context of attitudes toward Jews and explores how these attitudes and value judgements have been combined with European antisemitic concepts into a new mix. Most of the views analyzed are by no means those of right- or left-wing extremists but of people of the center, highlighting the contradiction between the rise of potentially genocidal antisemitism and Egypt's peaceful relations with Israel. In addition, the impact of radical Muslim fundamentalism is explored. This thoroughly researched book is an important contribution to the study of antisemitism and, more generally, to the study of other group hatreds as well. (Section Headings): Introduction: Separating the threads of hostile attitudes. The cultural assault on the Egyptian mind. The Islamic Left: political potential of religious consciousness. "Who will destroy whom?": a Jewish-Arab religious confrontation. Conclusion: Anti-Zionism as anti-Judaism. Index.  RivkaYadlin SIASStudies in Antisemitism Series3  Out of print 145 pages Hardbound

The Carcinoembryonic Antigen Gene Family
Proceedings of the International Conference on the CEA Gene Family, Sapporo, Japan, 15 October 1988 1989
EXCERPTA MEDICA Since its discovery in 1965, CEA has become the most intensely studied tumor marker for colon cancer. This volume reflects the need to update our current knowledge of the CEA gene family and the explosion of information that has taken place in the last two years. CEA has long been recognised as one member of a gene family consisting of a number of closely related cell surface glycoproteins, although the exact details of their interralationships has been unclear owing to the difficulties in purifying and characterizing these glycoproteins which are usually present in complex mixtures. In the last five years, advances have been made by analysing these antigens with monoclonal antibodies, although structural details remained lacking. This book is a comprehensive collection of the latest findings and updates on protein and carbohydrate structural studies on CEA, together with the latest analysis of its antigenic determinants by synthetic peptide and anti-idiotypic analysis. Perhaps the most exciting finding presented here, is the extent of the CEA gene family and its relationship to the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. Through a combination of new approaches and findings, knowledge of the structure and function of the CEA gene family has grown substantially in the last two years. It is now possible to place this family of glycoproteins within the context of other genes and normal cell functions, which in turn should aid our understanding of the role of CEA in cancer. A valuable resource book and an excellent aid in keeping abreast of the latest developments. Preface. Dr Akira Yachi's Opening Remarks.

Crystal-Quasicrystal Transitions
1993
NORTH-HOLLAND The discovery of five-fold diffraction symmetry by D. Schechtman in 1985 shocked crystallography to its roots. Incommensurable modulation of a crystal changes former identical unit cells into different ones. This radical revolution has given rise to the study of an entirely new class of matter, the quasicrystalline materials. The study of these quasi-periodic crystals brings a unique elucidation of the fundaments of crystallography and the relationship between lattice structure and macroscopic properties.

This book covers the transitions between the crystalline and the quasicrystalline state. A thorough understanding of the transition from quasiperiodic to periodic lattices is essential in order to investigate the uniqueness of quasicrystals.

In this well-written volume, an overview is given of the most important problems in quasicrystallography today. Leading experts provide insight into recent experimental advances achieved by studying the phase transitions between crystalline and quasicrystalline states. In the theoretical chapters one is introduced to the depth of insight into the nature of crystallography which has arisen through a rigorous understanding of the quasicrystal structure.

This book is an essential source of reference for crystallographers, crystal growers and solid state physicists working in the field. Preface. Continuous transformation of Al-Mn-Si and A1-Cr-Si decagonal quasicrystals to a new approximant (H. Zhang, X.Z. Li, K.H. Kuo).

Kinetic Models of Catalytic Reactions
1991
ELSEVIER This book has been written by a group of mathematicians and chemists whose common interest is in the complex dynamics of catalytic reactions. Based on developments in mathematical chemistry, a general theory is described that allows the investigation of the relationships between the kinetic characteristics of complex reactions and their detailed reaction mechanism. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis is made of some typical mechanism of catalytic reactions, in particular for the oxidation of carbon monoxide on platinum metals.

In fact, the book presents "three kinetics": (a) detailed, oriented to the elucidation of a detailed reaction mechanism according to its kinetic laws; (b) applied, with the aim of obtaining kinetic relationships for the further design of chemical reactors; and (c) mathematical kinetics whose purpose is the analysis of mathematical models for heterogeneous catalytic reactions taking place under steady- or unsteady-state conditions. 1. Minimum minimorum. 2. The development of basic concepts of chemical kinetics in heterogeneous catalysis. 3. Formalism of chemical kinetics. 4. Graphs in chemical kinetics. 5.

Polyvinyl Chloride Stabilization
1986
ELSEVIER For several decades, the position of PVC has been established in the processing industry and in everyday use. Nonetheless, there are still many difficulties as far as its stability is concerned. The two main aspects of PVC stabilization are a theoretical understanding of the thermal and photolytic processes polymers may undergo, and the technical ability to process polymers economically and efficiently. This monograph summarizes technological achievement in polymer stabilization from the point of view of practical application, although theoretical findings are also included. Stabilizers divided into groups are discussed in separate chapters. These groups include metal soaps, organotins, lead-containing stabilizers, secondary stabilizers, UV absorbers, lubricants, and biological corrosion inhibitors. Such chapters contain a discussion on the mechanisms of their action and a review on industrial products based on data included in appendices giving chemical composition, and UV and IR spectra of stabilizers. A valuable feature of the work is the exhaustive overview on experimental data of over 150 industrial PVC stabilizers. Together with the previous volume by the same author, Polyvinyl Chloride Degradation, a detailed survey is given on PVC stability. The book is aimed at chemists, chemical engineers and materials scientists in industry and universities. Introduction. 1. The Causes of PVC Instability. 2. General Characteristic of Stabilizers. 3. Metal Soap Stabilizers. 4. Organotin Stabilizers. 5. Organic Stabilizers. 6. Lead-Containing Stabilizers. 7. Inhibitors of Photolytic Processes. 8. Lubricants. 9. Biological Corrosion Inhibitors. 10.

The Neurobiology of Saccadic Eye Movements
1989
ELSEVIER Saccadic eye movements shift the direction of the eye rapidly from one part of the visual field to another. The system within the brain controlling this eye movement is probably the best understood sensory motor system in the brain of primates. The Neurobiology of Saccadic Eye Movements presents a series of state-of-the-art reviews of this system including the behavior, neuronal mechanisms, and systems engineering characterization. The successful interaction of systems modelling with the neurophysiological approaches described in this book provide a potential blueprint for future study of more complicated systems within the brain.

Strategic Aspects of Oligopolistic Vertical Integration
1992
NORTH-HOLLAND In this text some fundamental issues concerning the strategic impact of vertical structures of firms are discussed in a successive oligopoly model. Vertical integration strategy has been identified as one of the key strategies which determine the success or failure of enterprises. Many studies on vertical integration are based on business experiences and interviews with managers. However, the extensive application of game theory in business economics allows this study on vertical integration to be based on sound theoretic ground. Moreover, the significance of public enterprises in some Western European economies and the trends of economic transition in Eastern Europe justify the efforts to analyse vertical integration issues in the mixed market, which is created by the participation of a public firm into an industry otherwise characterised as a successive oligopoly.

Facets of Dyslexia and its Remediation
Edited Proceedings of the 18th Rodin Remediation Conference on Reading and Reading Disorders, University of Bern Children's Hospital, Switzerland, 27-29 August 1991 1993
NORTH-HOLLAND Developmental Dyslexia has been a subject of interest to practitioners for more than a century. Despite its long research history, however, dyslexia (the terms "specific reading disability", "reading disability" and "learning disability" are also used interchangeably in this volume) still provides a challenge for contemporary cognitive psychology, education, neurology and physiology. By bringing together contributions from researchers and scholars working in a wide range of fields and perspectives, it is hoped that this publication will offer a means of considering different facets of dyslexia, and enable a greater understanding of reading disorders and their remediation to emerge.

The book is divided into eight major sections, the focus in each section being on a different facet of dyslexia. It is hoped this framework enables the reader to assimilate the wide range of pure and applied research and even give rise to a new perspective for the understanding of dyslexia. Introduction.

Aspects of Computation on Asynchronous Parallel Processors
Proceedings of the IFIP WG2.5 Working Conference, Stanford, CA, USA, 22-26 August 1988 1989
NORTH-HOLLAND The increasing availability of asynchronous parallel processors has provided opportunities for original and useful work in scientific computing. However, the field of parallel computing is still in a highly volatile state, and researchers display a wide range of opinion about many fundamental questions such as models of parallelism, approaches for detecting and analyzing parallelism of algorithms, and tools that allow software developers and users to make effective use of diverse forms of complex hardware. This volume collects the work of researchers specializing in different aspects of parallel computing, who met to discuss the framework and the mechanics of numerical computing. The far-reaching impact of high-performance asynchronous systems is reflected in the wide variety of topics, which include scientific applications (e.g. linear algebra, lattice gauge simulation, ordinary and partial differential equations), models of parallelism, parallel language features, task scheduling, automatic parallelization techniques, tools for algorithm development in parallel environments, and system design issues. Effective Scientific Applications. Languages and Programming Issues. Libraries, Environments and Tools. Language Design Issues. Open Session. System Design Issues. Contributors: R.C.

Towards World Class Manufacturing 1993
Proceedings of the IFIP TC5/WG5.3 Conference, Litchfield Park, Arizona, USA, 12-16 September 1993 1994
NORTH-HOLLAND The mounting pressures of global competition have forced manufacturers to develop a broader range of products in short product development cycles, using more flexible and efficient organizational and technological strategies. The need to communicate information more effectively among all those who design, manufacture, sell and use the product has led to new examinations of large-scale communication processes and the methods of optimizing communication.

This publication offers international perspectives on how information needs to be better modelled, communicated, stored and accessed throughout the product life cycle. The scope of the papers is especially broad since contributions have been sourced not only from the academic and research communities but also from industry and commerce. Specifically, the industrial sector explores world class manufacturing as driven business reality, integrated product development and demands for cultural and organizational changes that create new research paradigms focusing on customers and applications. The research faction, on the other hand, presents sophisticated technological solutions to resistant problems, whilst the educators raise questions about how to prepare Renaissance engineers for dealing with integrated enterprises.

In its entirety, the book provides an excellent reference tool for all concerned with innovative concepts and methods for improving communication in manufacturing within the present cultural, economic and technological environment.

Geometric Modeling for Product Engineering
Selected and Expanded Papers from the IFIP WG5.2 / NSF Working Conference on Geometric Modeling, Rensselaerville, NY, USA, 18-22 September 1988 1990
NORTH-HOLLAND The papers in this collection provide an insight into current research issues and directions in geometric modeling. Like many other fields in the past, geometric modeling is making the transition from the empirical stage to a maturity based on formal theories and procedures. The data structures and algorithms are also being treated on a more rigorous basis, using the formal procedures of computer science. Until recently, researchers were concerned more with modeling the basic geometry and topology of individual parts. However, as in this volume, attention is now focused upon the specification of a complete engineering model of a product. Emphasis is given to the role of features, and to the modeling of assemblies, tolerances, and processes. Constraints, parametric design and variational geometry have all become important. Non-manifold topology has become essential for the representation of adjacency information. Surfaces and Splines. Solid Modeling. Non-Manifold Topology. Design and Features. Variational and Parametric Methods. Tolerance Modeling and Analysis. Geometry for Analysis. Feature Recognition. Process Planning. Computational Geometry.
