Modem Methods of Plant Analysis When the handbook Modern Methods of Plant Analysis was fIrst introduced in 1954 the considerations were: 1.

This book is a collection of papers presented at a NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "e;Biology and Molecular Biology of Plant-Pathogen Interactions"e; which was held at Dillington College, Ilminster, UK, 1-6 September 1985.

Dieser Band befaßt sich mit dem Einfluß von aminergen Neuronensystemen auf die Hypophysenvorderlappen-Hormonsekretion sowie die Wirkung von Psychopharmaka auf die aminergen Neuronensysteme im Zentralnervensystem.

Here for the first time in one book is a comprehensive and systematic approach to the dynamic modeling and control of biped locomotion robots.

The NATO workshop on Disordered Systems and Biological Organization was attended, in march 1985, by 65 scientists representing a large variety of fields: Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics and Biology.

Cybernetics, a science concerned with understanding how systems are regulated, has reflected the preoccupations of the century in which it was born.

This volume contains the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "e;Pictorial Information Systems in Medicine"e; held August 27-September 7, 1984 in Hotel Maritim, Braunlage/Harz, Federal Republic of Germany.

For old and new studies in decision making and risk analysis, this book should stand at tlle watershed.

The "e;functional"e; in the title of this book not only reflects my personal bias about neuroanatomy in brain research, it is also the gist of many chapters which describe sophisticated ways to resolve structures and interpret them as dynamic entities.

Chance Favors Only the Prepared Mind How does a scientist go about the task of pushing back the curtains of the unknown?

When trying to solicit authors for this book it became apparent that the causal factors for heterosis at the physiological and biochemical level are today almost as obscure as they were 30 years ago.

The first summer study at IIASA brought together a cross-section of individ- uals from different disciplines and nationalities.

You can't tell how deep a puddle is until you step in it.

While the volumes hitherto published in the Springer Series in Synergetics have been devoted almost exclusively to the self-organized formation of structures in physics, chemistry and biology, the present monograph by Weidlich and Haag deals with the formation of "e;structures"e; (or "e;patterns"e;) in society.

Neurophysiologists are often accused by colleagues in the physical sci- ences of designing experiments without any underlying hypothesis.

Band 8 ist den Neuentwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Herbizide gewidmet.

Dieser Band zeigt die sensationell anmutenden Fortschritte der Pyrethrum­ Chemie, die für Forschung, Industrie und Anwender neue Aspekte eröffnet.

This is a timely opus.

From the reviews: "e;.

The building of conceptual models is an inherent part of our interaction with the world, and the foundation of scientific investigation.

The brain functions like a computer composed of subsystems which in- teract in a hierarchical manner.

This book deals with energetics of transport processes, largely expressed in terms of the thermodynamics of irreversible pro- cesses.

Verhandlungsberichte wissenschaftlicher Symposien sind nicht in al­ len Fällen eine Publikation wert.

The original intent of the series Studies of Brain Function was to offer a forum to neurobiologists working in different fields to present some of their recent results in a more extensive way.

This booklet, together with the following two,-which are well under way and will succeed it at intervals of, we hope, no more than six months, sets the stage for a new editorial enterprise in the field of brain science.

With the increasing numbers of research workers and groups of investigators devoting themselves to the ecology of carabids I felt that the time had come to take stock of the existing knowledge in this field and to endeavour to weld my personal results and those of other workers into a comprehensive picture.

This book has been written mostly within sight of wild African ungulates, at the research center in Tsavo East National Park, V oi, Kenya.

view than its own proper males should fecundate each blossom.

Predation is an ecological factor of almost universal importance for the biol- ogist who aims at an understanding of the habits and structures of animals.

The aim of the monographs is to foster effective intra- and interdisciplinary communication between geneticists, and plant and animal breeders.

In the few years since the first edition of this book made its appearance, under- takings in the area of protein sequence determination have increased at an almost logarithmic pace.

The term Fennoscandia is used to denote Finland and the Scandinavian peninsula, which comprises Norway and Sweden and sometimes also neigh- bouring districts of the USSR.

The contents of this volume involve selection, emendation and up-dating of papers presented at the NATO Conference "e;Mathe- matical Analysis of Decision problems in Ecology"e; in Istanbul, Turkey, July 9-13, 1973.
