Review articles by leading scientists in their fields are brought together in this volume to provide a comprehensive treatment of photoacoustic, photothermal and photochemical processes at surfaces and in thin films.

Technological developments in composite materials, non-destructive testing, and signal processing as well as biomedical applications, have stimulated wide-ranging engineering investigations of heterogeneous, anisotropic media and surface waves of different types.

The topic of surface waves lies at the interface between a number of disci- plines - physics, theoretical and applied mechanics, electroacoustics, ap- plied mathematics, surface science and seismology.

Thirty years ago pattern recognition was dominated by the learning machine concept: that one could automate the process of going from the raw data to a classifier.

1989 was by any standards an extraordinary year: the year in which the Cold War ended.

In recent years substantial progress has been made in the detection of surface phonons owing to considerable improvements in inelastic rare gas scattering tech- niques and electron energy loss spectroscopy.

In the 1950s the direct observation of dislocations became possible, stimulat- ing the interest of many research workers in the dynamics of dislocations.

In this second edition every chapter of the first edition of Pattern Analysis has been updated and expanded.

WAVE TURBULENCE is a state of a system of many simultaneously excited and interacting waves characterized by an energy distribution which is not in any sense close to thermodynamic equilibrium.

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.

The attempt to simulate dialogues in Natural Language by a machine requires extensive analyses of Natural Language's expression and content phenomena.

nerve; subsequently, however, they concluded that the recordings had been from aberrant cells of the cochlear nucleus lying central to the glial margin of the VIII nerve (GALAMBOS and DAVIS, 1948).

Information theory and cybernetics have developed along somewhat different lines in Europe and in the U.

Caustics, Catastrophes and Wave Fields in a sense continues the treatment of the earlier volume 6 "e;Geometrical Optics of Inhomogeneous Media"e; in the present book series, by analysing caustics and their fields on the basis of modern catastrophe theory.

Anybody concerned about the maintenance of peace in our world, and in prospects of reaching agreements on arms control and disarmament, is bound to be interested in one of the key pre-conditions for related international treaties: the verification of compliance with such treaties.

This comprehensive book presents all aspects of acoustic metamaterials and phononic crystals.

The authors study dynamical effects of incidentcompressional and distortional elastic waves on a layer ofplanar, cylindrical, or spherical geometry, especiallyfocusing on the stress fields surrounding the layer.
