This volume contains extended abstracts of the 10 plenary lectures, 27 invited symposium lectures and ap- proximately 300 contributed papers that were presented at the 25th Congress Ampere.
The dramatic development of chromatographic techniques, specially high per- formance or high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) has made possible the easy analysis of organic compounds, including drugs and drug components, for last two decades.
Earth scientists, who have worked together for 6 years in the priority pro- gram "e;Hydrogeochemical Processes in the Hydrological Cycle Within the Unsaturated and Saturated Zones"e;, have summarized the results of their research in this volume.
In recent years, there has been a major expansion of high pressure research providing unique information about systems of interest to a wide range of scientific disciplines.
Adaptive systems are widely encountered in many applications ranging through adaptive filtering and more generally adaptive signal processing, systems identification and adaptive control, to pattern recognition and machine intelligence: adaptation is now recognised as keystone of "e;intelligence"e; within computerised systems.
Almost two centuries ago proteins were recognized as the primary materials (proteios = primary) oflife, but the significance and wide role of peptides (from pepsis = digestion) in practically all life pro- cesses has only become apparent in the last few decades.
Die Datenmengen, die bei der Modellierung, der Simulation und der Überwachung von Umweltprozessen anfallen, sind heute schon so groß, daß sie nur noch mit Supercomputersystemen in verantwortbaren Zeiten sinnvoll bearbeitet werden können.
"e;The problems involved in separating complex macromolecules require under- standing not only the chromatographic process but also the physicochemical behavior of the solutes.
This volume contains review articles written by the invited speakers at the ninth International Summer Institute in Surface Science (ISISS 1989), held at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in August of 1989.
The use of antibiotics in the treatment by antibacterial and antifungal chemo- therapy, has become standard practice since the end of World War Two and has had an enormous impact on healthcare throughout the world.
The new field of applied genetic research, genetic toxicology and mutation research investigates the muta- genicity and cancerogenicity of chemicals and other agents.
The new field of applied genetic research, genetic toxicology and mutation research investigates the mutagenicity and cancerogenicity of chemicals and other agents.
A lively demonstration of the great vitality and the multidisciplinary character of cluster research and of the usefulness of synthesizing its various aspects was given at this symposium.
New methods for the determination of the nature, proportion, and distribution of structural defects in microcrystallized lamellar systems are of utmost importance not only to experimentalists but also to theoreticians.
At the annual meetings ofthe "e;Fast Reactions in Solution Discussion Group"e; of the Royal Society of Chemistry, an increasing number of contributions is concerned with reactions in complex liquids, where the solvents cannot be regarded as homogeneous media but where their microstructure has to be taken into account.
Environments at Risk is designed as an introductory text and uses case histories of environmental impact assessment to raise issues important in controlling environmental problems.
A massive phytoplankton bloom, locally termed "e;brown tide"e;, suddenly appeared in Long Island marine bays in 1985, colored the water a dark brown, decimated eelgrass beds and caused catastrophic starvation and recruitment failure of commercially important bay scallop populations.
This volume appears at a time when the prospects for banishing the threat of nuclear annihilation are brighter than at any time since the first atomic device exploded over the desert at Alamogordo.
After many years of sterile arms control negotiations between the super powers, which did not produce a single genuine disarmament measure - and sometimes had the opposite effect of stimulating the development of new weapons to serve as bargaining chips - an agreement to abolish completely two categories of nu- clear weapons, the INF Treaty, was signed and is now being implemented.
