In July 1989 a symposium was held at the Physiology Department of the Georg August University, G6ttingen, on the physiological, biophysical, biochemical, and technical principles of the coding of chemical substances both in nervous systems and artificial devices.
Seasonal Snowpacks examines the processes which control the chemistry of seasonal snowcover and provides detailed information on the biogeographical distribution of snow (e.
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.
7 Les Houches Number theory, or arithmetic, sometimes referred to as the queen of mathematics, is often considered as the purest branch of mathematics.
Nonlinear photonics is the name given to the use of nonlinear optical devices for the generation, communication, processing, or analysis of information.
"e;Physics at KAON"e;, an international meeting jointly organized by the KFA Jillich and TRI- UMF, was held in the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef from June 7 through June 9, 1989.
Numerical linear algebra, digital signal processing, and parallel algorithms are three disciplines with a great deal of activity in the last few years.
th This volume contains the written versions of invited lectures presented at the 28 "e;Internationale Universitatswochen fUr Kernphysik"e; in Schladming, Austria in March 1989.
Recent research on superconductors with high critical temperature has led to results that were not available when the original German edition was prepared but could be included in the present English edition.
The annual meeting of the Astronomische Gesellschaft in Cologne, June 1988, featured extensive reviews of the chemical processes relevant to astrophysics.
During the 30 years of space exploration, important discoveries in the near-earth environment such as the Van Allen belts, the plasmapause, the magnetotail and the bow shock, to name a few, have been made.
The relatively simple, stratified nature of the retina and its spe- fied use in the visual process has long made it an inviting tissue to study both for its own sake and as a model for the more complex processes of the brain.
Ausgehend von den Grundlagen der Laserphysik und der biologischen Wirkung von Laserstrahlung beantwortet dieses Buch umfassend alle Fragen des Laser-Strahlenschutzes: Die Meßmethoden für Laserstrahlung, die zulässigen Strahlungswerte, die relevanten technischen Regeln, das System der Laserklassen und die organisatorischen und apparativen Schutzmaßnahmen sind ausführlich dargestellt.
Results important for the general understanding of nuclear structure have emerged from the study of the nuclei in the mass region around the neutron-deficient and neutron-rich Zirconium isotopes.
Given the problems of the environment in relation to the ever-growing civi- lization activities of man, it is not surprising that in recent years more and more related data have been collected, phenomena have been observed and concerns have been expressed.
Since the inaugural symposium at the Pennsylvania State University in 1977, the venues for the series of biennial symposia on turbulent shear flows have alternated between the USA and Europe.
Disintegration of kidney and gall stones by intense laser radiation is becoming increasingly important as a complementary technique to extracorporeal shockwave treatment.
Macroscopic physics provides us with a great variety of pattern-forming systems displaying propagation phenomena, from reactive fronts in combustion, to wavy structures in convection and to shear flow instabilities in hydrodynamics.
The present work is not exactly a "e;course"e;, but rather is presented as a monograph in which the author has set forth what are, for the most part, his own results; this is particularly true of Chaps.
This text on the statistical theory of nonequilibrium phenomena grew out of lecture notes for courses on advanced statistical mechanics that were held more or less regularly at the Physics Department of the Technical University in Munich.
Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology helps biologists, physiologists, and biochemists keep track of the extensive literature in the field.
