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.
Das Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Entwicklung von Prüfverfahren, mit denen Komponenten von Versorgungssystemen hinsichtlich ihres Kontaminationsverhaltens beurteilt und enthaltene Partikelquellen ergründet werden können.

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.
International cooperation on reliability and accident data collection and processing, exchange of experience on actual uses of data and reliability engineering techniques is a major step in realising safer and more efficient industrial systems.
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.
This monograph is intended to provide a snapshot of the status and opportunities for advan- cement in the technologies of dynamics and control oflarge flexible spacecraft structures.
This symposium, held at Innsbruck/lgls on June 21-26, 1987, is the fifth in a series of IUTAM-Symposia on the application of stochastic methods in mechanics.
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.
The last two decades have witnessed an intensifying effort in learning how to manage flow turbulence: it has in fact now become one of the most challenging and prized techno- logical goals in fluid dynamics.
From the Preface: The Proceedings contain papers presented at the 1st Working Conference on "e;Reliability and Optimization of Structural Systems"e;, Aalborg, Denmark, May 6-8, 1987.
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.
Für den Aufbau komplexer Modelle auf dem Gebiet der Produktionssysteme ist es bedeutsam, daß die Komponenten für Fertigung, Montage und Lagerung durch ein sehr leistungsfähiges und dennoch sehr flexibles Transportsystem verbunden werden können.
The genesis of the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) upon which this volume is based, occurred during the summer of 1986 when we came to the realization that there had been significant progress during the early 1980's in the field of superconducting electronics and in applications of this technology.
ESPRIT Project 322, "e;CAD Interfaces"e;, has been established to define the most important interfaces in CAD/CAM systems for data exchange, data base, finite element analysis, experimental analysis, and advanced modeling.
Continuing the tradition of the IUTAM Symposia TRANSSONICA, this review of the numerical simulation and physical modelling of transonic flows presents new developments in the fields of computational and experimental aerodynamics.
The International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) initiated and sponsored an International Symposium on Nonlinear Dynamics in Engineering Systems held in 1989 in Stuttgart, FRG.
