In the continuing quest to explore structure and to relate struc- tural organization to functional significance, the scientist has developed a vast array of microscopes.
Radiosurgery performed with the "e;Gamma Knife"e; or on a linac facility is a specific radiotherapy method to treat certain lesions in the brain with a high single radiation dose.
In regard to global change, emphasis is generally placed on the increase in global temperature, but large changes in the distribution of precipitation are also likely to occur.
The message of sunspots from the interior of the Sun to the Earth's climate When Galileo was summoned before the Inquisition on April 12, 1633, the main accusations laid against him concerned the doubts he expressed about Aristotle's theory of the universe.
Since the first edition of "e;Scanning 'funneling Microscopy I"e; has been pub- lished, considerable progress has been made in the application of STM to the various classes of materials treated in this volume, most notably in the field of adsorbates and molecular systems.
Differential geodesy is concerned with the geometry of the gravity field of the Earth, which is of fundamental importance to both theoretical geodesy and geophysics.
Quantum Optics VI documents the most recent theoretical and experimental developments in this field, with particular emphasis on atomic optics and interferometry, which is a new and rapidly developing area of research.
Climate is the most important component of the Earth's environment and climatic fluctuations have a strong impact on water supplies, vegetation, energy use etc.
Over the last two decades, the search for a compact, high-power semiconductor source has produced many designs and concepts for monolithic diode-laser arrays and optical amplifiers.
This volume summarizes the papers presented at the First Osaka University Macromolecular Symposium OUMS'93 on "e;Ordering in Macromolecular Systems"e;, which was held at Senri Life Science Center, Osaka, Japan, on June 3 through June 6, 1993.
The present book is a collection of variations on a theme which can be summed up as follows: It is impossible for a non-zero function and its Fourier transform to be simultaneously very small.
Scientists concerned with the processes occurring in the stratosphere are becoming more and more aware of the role that the stratosphere may play in the global climate and in global change in general.
Nanostructures and Quantum Effects documents the most recent developments in the field of quantum effects in semiconductor nanostructures such as quantum wires and boxes.
The NATO Advanced Study Institute on Biomechanics of Active Movement and Division of Cells was held September 19-29, 1993 in Istanbul and the Proceedings are presented in this volume.
Laser Ablation provides a broad picture of the current understanding of laser ablation and its many applications, from the views of key contributors to the field.
Adsorption on Ordered Surfaces of Ionic Solids and ThinFilms introduces to a new and topical field of surfacescience for which rather little experience is available atpresent.
In this book we summarize the essential results of our efforts over the years to calculate energies, wave functions, and electromagnetic transitions of atoms as functions of the magnetic field strength from laboratory fields up to neutron star magnetic fields.
