For a system consisting of a random medium with roughboundaries, the governing (Bethe-Salpeter) equation forboundary-value transport problems can be written in a formsuch that the medium and the boundaries are treatedon anequal footing.
Membranes composed of amphiphilic molecules are highlyflexible surfaces that determine the architecture ofbiological systems and provide a basic structural elementfor complex fluids such as microemulsions.
Advances through carefully conducted quantitative work onwell designed, high quality materials characterize thepresent state of high-temperature superconductivityresearch.

This volume contains the proceedings of the third in a series of biennial NEC Symposia on Fundamental Approaches to New Material Phases sponsored by the NEC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan.
The emergence of civil aviation as a means of mass transportation is primarily due to the large- scale construction of jet airplanes in the past 30 years or so.
Modem materials science is exploiting novel tools of solid-state physics and chemistry to obtain an unprecedented understanding of the structure of matter at the atomic level.
This volume contains the lectures presented at the mini-symposium on "e;Micromechanics"e; held in conjunction with the CSME Mechanical Engineer- ing Forum 1990 between the 3rd and 8th June, 1990 at the University of Toronto, Canada.

IUTAM-IAHR Symposium on Ice-Structure Interaction Professor Bez Tabarrok, Chairman of the Canadian National Committee (CNC) of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) invited Professor Derek Muggeridge to organize a symposium on ice structure interaction.
Engineering structures for reliable function and safety have to be designed such that operational mechanical loads are compensated for by stresses in the components bearable by the materials used.
Structural safety of industrial systems and components raises a steadily growing public, scientific and engineering interest, and causes permanent development of methods and techniques used for its assessment.
The recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in copper- based oxides is an event of major importance not only with respect to the physical phenomenon itself but also because it definitely shows that solid state chemistry, and especially the crystal chemistry of oxides, has a crucial place in the synthesis and understanding of new materials for future appli- cations.
This volume contains the proceedings of the ffiM Japan International Sympo- sium on Strong Correlation and Superconductivity, which was held in Keidan- ren Guest House at the foot of Mt.
This volume contains contributions presented at the International Conference "e;The Application of High Magnetic Fields in Semiconductor Physics"e;, which was held at the University of Wiirzburg from August 22 to 26, 1988.
The 39 papers in this collection are devoted mostly to the exact mathematical analysis of problems in continuum mechanics, but also to problems of a purely mathematical nature mainly connected to partial differential equations from continuum physics.
Internationally recognized experts in the field of holographic interferometric testing, X-ray testing, and structural analysis by finite element techniques have come together in ESPRIT project 898 to develop a system that integrates these techniques.
This volume is the proceedings of the Hiroshima Symposium on Elementary Excitations in Quantum Fluids, which was held on August 17 and 18, 1987, in Hiroshima, Japan, and was attended by thirty-two scientists from seven countries.
This book was begun after three of the present authors gave a series of in- vited talks on the subject of the structure and properties of carbon filaments.
The normal business of physicists may be schematically thought of as predic- ting the motions of particles on the basis of known forces, or the propagation of radiation on the basis of a known constitution of matter.
A special survey of the extensive field of Constitutive Laws is given in 11 lectures, divided into three parts: Thermodynamics of Materials, Stochastic Processes and Material Behaviour, Constitutive Relations for Simple Fluids and Microphysics of Solids.
Almost fifteen years have now elapsed since the first observations of per- sistent spectral hole-burning in inhomogeneously broadened absorption lines in solids.
More than 30 years after the discovery of transition metals and organometal- lics as catalysts for olefin polymerization these catalysts did not have lost their fascination.
