Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -to that goal, and it is hoped that it will incorporate further works dealing in an exact way with interesting philosophical issues. Zürich, April 1973 Mario Bunge From the Preface to the First Edition It may seem odd that aseries of works devoted to the natural sciences should indude - indeed begin with - a volume on phi losophy. Today, of course, it is generally agreed that philosophy and natural science are perfectly compatible. But to grant the theory of knowledge such a prominent position implies not only that these two fields are compatible, but that there is a natural connection between them. Thus the indusion of this book in the series can be justified only if such an intimate relation of mutual dependence and interpenetration really does exist. Without anticipating what is to come, the author would like first to explain his point of view on the relationship between epistemology and the sciences, and in so doing make dear at the outset the method to be followed in this book. It is my view - which I have already expressed elsewhere and which I never tire of repeating - that philosophy is not aseparate science to be placed alongside of or above the individual disciplines. Rather, the philosophical element is present in all of the scienccs; it is their true soul, and only by virtue of it are they sciences at all.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 440 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The present work covers the latest developments and discoveries related to information reuse and integration in academia and industrial settings. The need for dealing with the large volumes of data being produced and stored in the last decades and the numerous systems developed to deal with these is increasingly necessary. Not all these developments could have been achieved without the investing large amounts of resources. Over time, new data sources evolve and data integration continues to be an essential and vital requirement. Furthermore, systems and products need to be revised to adapt new technologies and needs. Instead of building these from scratch, researchers in the academia and industry have realized the benefits of reusing existing components that have been well tested. While this trend avoids reinventing the wheel, it comes at the cost of finding the optimum set of existing components to be utilized and how they should be integrated together and with the new non-existing components which are to be developed. These nontrivial tasks have led to challenging research problems in the academia and industry. These issues are addressed in this book, which is intended to be a unique resource for researchers, developers and practitioners.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 320 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is the most up-to-date publication on fluorescence diagnostic (FDAP) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) methods used in dermatology. Both techniques are presently world wide introduced as standards for the delineation and the treatment of cutaneous precancerous stages and tumors, which show steadily increasing numbers due to e.g. more frequent sun exposure. Summarizing experiences on more than 5.000 treated patients, it offers a comprehensive information on every aspect of skin tumor detection and treatment. The main part of the book focuses on the clinical aspects giving detailed descriptions on skin tumor detection as well as photodynamic treatment of selected diseases (solar keratoses, basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, Bowen's disease, psoriasis lesions, etc.). The clinically oriented chapters are supplemented by practical guidelines for PDT and FDAP. The included atlas is comprised of 270 high quality color figures allowing daily use as a handbook.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 140 pp. Englisch.

It covers a broad spectrum of topics related to modeling of cracks, including continuum-based and discrete crack models, meso-scale models, advanced discretization strategies to capture evolving cracks based on the concept of finite elements with embedded discontinuities and on the extended finite element method, and extensions to coupled problems such a hygro-mechanical problems as required in computational durability analyses of concrete structures.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 336 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The observation of the scaling properties of the structure functions w and vw of deep inelastic electron 1 2 nucleon scattering [1]+ has been taken by many people as an indication for an approximate scale invariance of the world. It was pointed out by Wilson [2], that in many field theories it is possible to assign a dimension d to every fundamental field, which proves to be a conserved quantum number as far as the most singular term of an operator product expansion at small distances ((x-y) +a) is con- JJ cerned++. Later it was shown, at the canonical level, that in many field theories the dimension of a field seems to be a c:pod quantum number even in the terms less singular at small (x-y) , as long as they all belong to the strongest l light cone singularity (i. e. (x-y)2+a) [3]. The assumption that this type of scale invariance on the light cone be present in the operator product ex pansion of two electromagnetic currents has provided us with a rather natural explanation of the observed scaling phenomena. We should like to mention, however, that this ex planation cannot account for the precocity with which scaling is being observed experimentally in energy regions, in which resonances still provide prominent contributions to the final states [4].

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Nach einem Vierteljahrhundert kontinuierlicher praktischer Er fahrung im Physikunterricht an verschiedenen Universitäten in den USA und in Österreich hat der Autor in den 7oer Jahren ein neues didaktisches System mit dem Titel 'Physik in 7oo Experi menten' vorgestellt. Es handelt sich dabei um eine komprimi- te Enzyklopädie der Physik in 713 farbigen Kurzfilmen, wobei im begleitenden Buch die wichtigsten Daten der Experimente fest gehalten sind, es aber dem vortragenden Lehrer überlassen bleibt, die Erklärungen auf das Niveau seiner Hörer abzustimmen. Das in deutscher Sprache 1977 erschienene Buch ist mittlerweile ins Eng lische übersetzt worden, und neben den Büchern und Filmen wurde ein computerorientierter Projektor gebaut, der es dem Vortragen den gestattet, durch Eingabe bestimmter Codenummern jedes be liebige Experiment abzuberufen und gewisse interessante Phasen in Zeitlupe oder im Standbild vorzuführen. Inbesondere für die Studierenden mit Physik als Nebenfach hat sich dieses System bewährt. Ein tieferes Eindringen in die physikalischen Zusammenhänge wur de immer schon durch Praktika und die Lösung von Ubungsaufgaben bewerkstelligt. Die vorliegende Aufgabensammlung beinhaltet Rechenbeispiele, die in den 'Physikalischen Ubungen für Phar mazeuten' zwischen 1973 und 1982 an der Universität Wien be handelt wurden. Die Ubungsbeispiele lehnen sich an das Buch 'Physik in 7oo Experimenten' an und umfassen die Sachgebiete: Mechanik der Massenpunkte und der Festkörper, Mechanik der Flüs sigkeiten und der Gase, Schwingungslehre und Akustik, Tempera- VI tur und Wärme, Elektrizität und Magnetismus, Elektrodynamik, Atom- und Kernphysik, Wellen und geometrische Optik sowie quan tenphysikalische Effekte.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 304 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Eine Gruppe von Elementen, ausnahmslos Metalle und vorzugsweise Über gangsmetalle, haben bislang im anorganisch-chemischen Fachschrifttum eine stiefmütterliche Behandlung erfahren. Diese 'Sondermetalle' - im englischen Sprachgebrauch auch 'Rare Metals' oder 'Less Common Metals' genann- haben in der Kernenergie, in der elektronischen Industrie und in der Raumfahrt große Bedeutung erlangt, stehen aber zum Teil noch an der Schwelle zu den Gebrauchsmetallen, d. h. zu den Werksmetallen des täglichen Lebens, zu denen beispielsweise das Eisen, das Nickel, das Kupfer, das Aluminium, das Magnesium, das Zinn und das Zink zählen. Die Autoren - wissenschaftlich stark mit den Sondermetallen verbunde- haben es mit diesem Buch unternommen, die skizzierten 'Noch-nicht-Gebrauchs metalle' in das richtige Licht zu stellen, wobei die Auswahl der zu behandelnden Metalle zwangsläufig eine gewisse Willkürlichkeit aufweist. Wir haben uns aller dings die Richtlinie gesetzt, für Sondermetalle im Sinne unseres Buches eine, zumindest geringe, industrielle Nutzung vorauszusetzen. Die Autoren haben auch die Halbmetalle Bor und Silizium mitbehandelt, um der Bedeutung der 'metallischen Hartstoffe' gerecht zu werden. Die Besprechung der einzelnen Sondermetalle geschieht gemäß ihrer Stellung im Periodensystem gruppenweise, um die 'Familienähnlichkeit' bei der Metallgewinnung, bei der W eiterverarbei tung, bei den Legierungen und den industriellen Anwendungen herauszuarbeiten.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 492 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Methoden zur Gewährleistung der Sicherheit tragender Baukonstruktionen haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten wesentlich weiterentwickelt, sowohl die theoretischen Grundlagen als auch die praktischen Nachweisverfahren. Sie finden unter anderem ihre Anwendung in den zur Zeit entstehenden vereinheitlichten europäischen Normen. Das Buch bietet eine zusammenfassende Darstellung dieser Entwicklung, sowohl der Zuverlässigkeitstheorie auf wahrscheinlichkeitstheoretischer Basis als auch der Methode der Grenzzustände mit Teilsicherheitsbeiwerten. Dabei wird versucht, zwischen beiden eine Verbindung herzustellen. Auch wird eine kurzgefaßte Zusammenstellung statistischer Daten über die wichtigsten Baustoffeigenschaften und Belastungsprozesse gegeben. Mit dem Buch erhält der Leser einen umfassenden Überblick über den neuesten Stand der Sicherheitstheorie im Bauwesen. Die Darstellung erfolgt aus der Sicht des Bauwesens, ist aber auch für andere Gebiete des Ingenieurwesens von Interesse. Die zweite Auflage ist gründlich überarbeitet, insbesondere sind die Darstellungen zur Methode der Grenzzustände konsequent auf die europäischen Normen ausgerichtet.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 324 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book has been written for the practicing chemist whose occasional task may be qualitative analysis. It deals with the investigation of things as they are without any limitations to the scope. It emphasizes the identification of materials - inorganic, organic, organized (biological), common, rare, described or not described in the accessible literatur- as they actually occur in nature and industry, or are met in the investigation of mishaps and crime. The description of techniques - macro to submicro - and the practice exercises have been included since the teaching of these arts is rarely a part of academic curricula and it happens with increasing frequency that chemists have to acquire them 'on the job'. In the systematic procedure given, emphasis is placed upon the investiga tion of minute specimens and upon acute reasoning that continuously weighs all accumulating evi9.ence. The work begins with the consideration of the history of the material under investigation. Especially when specks of all organic substance shall be identified, it should be realized that the discovery of the source - and consequently of the possibilities involve- may be the most valuable clue to an efficient solution of the problem. 512 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The papers contained in this volume are invited lec tures presented at the 21st 'Universit~tswochen fUr Kern physik' in Schladming in February 1982. To consider electro magnetic and weak interactions as manifestations of a single theory is a standpoint, which is generally accepted by now. The goal of the school was to outline the present state of this unified theory and to discuss possible future developments. Thanks to the generous support provided by the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research, the Styrian Government and other sponsors, it was again possible to invite experts in the field as lecturers. The lecture notes have been reexamined by the authors and are now published in their final form to enable a larger number of physicists to profit from them. Since the lectures are already quite voluminous, we have decided to restrict the publication to the lectures themselves and omit all seminars, interesting as they were, as well as all details connected with the meeting. It is a pleasure to thank all the lecturers for their efforts, making it possible to speed up publication. Thanks are also due to L. Pittner for organisation and proof-reading as well as to Mrs. Krenn and Mrs. Neuhold for the careful typing of the papers. H. Mitter Acta Physica Austriaca, Suppl.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume is one in a series of monographs being issued under the general title of 'Disorders of Human Communication'. Each monograph deals in detail with a particular aspect of vocal communication and its disorders, and is written by internationally distinguished experts. Therefore, the series will provide an authoritative source of up-to-date scientific and clinical informa tion relating to the whole field of normal and abnormal speech communication, and as such will succeed the earlier monumental work 'Handbuch der Stimm und Sprachheilkunde' by R. Luchsinger and G. E. Arnold (last issued in 1970). This series will prove invaluable for clinicians, teachers and research workers in phoniatrics and logopaedics, phonetics and linguistics, speech pathology, otolaryngology, neurology and neurosurgery, psychology and psychiatry, paediatrics and audiology. Several of the monographs will also be useful to voice and singing teachers, and to their pupils. G. E. Arnold, Jackson, Miss. F. Winckel, Berlin B. D. Wyke, London Preface This book tries to illustrate the practice as well as the principles involved in applying linguistics to the analysis of language disability. In writing it, I have as sumed an audience of professional speech and hearing clinicians who have had little or no formal training in linguistics. Each Chapter therefore begins with a resu me of the main theoretical and descriptive principles needed in order to carry out a clinical linguistic analysis. The relevance oflanguage acquisition studies is a major theme within this resume. 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The management of vascular and tumorous lesions of the parasellar region still remains one of the most demanding tasks in neurosurgery. It is only a short time ago that the major concepts of the anatomy of the so-called cavernous sinus were described in detail. Surgical interventions in this region are very complex, they are time-consuming and require an extensive back ground of experience in surgery of the cranial base. Pioneer anatomical studies of the parasellar region done by Taptas, and the daring direct operative approach introduced by Parkinson pro moted the development of modern neuroradiological intervention proce dures, which were initiated by Serbinenko and further refined by Debrun, Vifiuela and others. The technique of the detachable balloon catheter stimulated surgeons to proceed with the direct operative approach to lesions of the parasellar region. Today, it is hard to imagine a successful man agement of vascular pathologies of this region without a complementary use of the two techniques. 436 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The fifteenth European Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics has taken place during the week of June 5th to 9th, in the lovely village of Peniscola, approximately midway between Barcelona and Valencia on the Mediterranean coast. This conference continues the tradition initiated in 1972 at Budapest, where the first conference took place, and followed in Graz (1973), Tiibingen (1975), Vlieland (1976), Uppsala (1977), Dubna (1979), Sesimbra (1980), Fer rara (1981), Tbilisi (1984), Fontevraud (1987), Uzhgorod (1990), Elba (1991) and Amsterdam (1993). During this week, a total of one hundred and fifty one scientist were exchang ing their knowledge and initiatives in this broad field of Few-Body Physics. Even if the name of the conference restricts its domain to Europe, there has been an important participation of scientists from non-European countries. A conference with more than twenty years of tradition is already an au tonomous being, with a noticeable inertia. Nevertheless, it is a reasonable thought to bend this inertia trying to introduce some innovation, of course, without any damage to the basic structure and objectives of the conference. 560 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume contains the papers presented. at the Third IFIP International Working Conference on Dependable Computing for Critical Applications, sponsored by IFIP Working Group 10.4 and held in Mondello (Sicily), Italy on September 14-16, 1992. System developers increasingly apply computers where they can affect the safety and security of people and equipment. The Third IFIP International Working Conference on Dependable Computing for Critical Applications, like its predecessors, addressed various aspects of computer system dependability, a broad term defined as the degree of trust that may justifiably be placed in a system's reliability, availability, safety, security, and performance. Because the scope of the conference was so broad, we hope the presentations and discussions will contribute to the integration of these concepts so that future computer-based systems will indeed be more dependable. The Program Committee selected 18 papers for presentation from a total of 7 4 submissions at a May meeting in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. The resulting program represented a broad spectrum of interests, with papers from universities, corporations, and government agencies in eight countries. Much diligent work by the Program Committee and the quality of reviews from more than a hundred external referees from around the world, for which we are most grateful, significantly eased the production of this technical program. 400 pp. Englisch.

The profound emaciation and weakness which follow the acute disease are responsible for a protracted convalescence and for serious economic losses due to diminished productivity. II. Historical During the early colonisation of Africa, susceptible Merino and other European breeds of sheep were introduced into the Cape, at first by the Dutch East India Company between 1652 and 1785 and again later in 1870. A report of the Cattle and Sheep Diseases Commission (1876) records the appearance of a serious febrile disease amongst these imported sheep in which both morbidity and mortality was high (cited by HENNING, 1949). HuTCHEON (1881) gave this disease the name of 'Fever' or 'Epizootic Catarrh', in order to distinguish it from other clinical conditions of a similar nature encountered amongst sheep. In the first com prehensive description of this clinical syndrome and its epizootiology HuTCHEON (1902) referred to it as 'Malarial Catarrhal Fever of Sheep', a designation which was obviously influenced by the mistaken belief that an intracorpuscular parasite was the primary cause of the disease. More systematic studies were conducted by SPREULL (1902; 1905), who endeavoured to immunize sheep by the simultaneous inoculation of immune serum and infective blood. 80 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Percutaneous nuclectomy according to the Onik method is an avantgarde method used to remove the intervertebral disc by percutaneous access and with closed surgery. The instrumentation and the procedure are simple. The main feature is the smaller diameter of the probe (2mm) which fragments and aspires the small chips of pulpy nucleus. It reduces the risk of discitic infections (occurring in various percentages with all methods of percutaneous discectomy) because the hole in the anulus, being small, closes spontaneously after the probe is removed. Moreover postoperative acute lumbar pain has been reported to occur less frequently. This method is carried out under local anesthesia, with radioscopic and intraoperative discographic monitoring. By consulting this atlas orthopaedists, neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists may learn this method easily, because every detail is clearly presented and illustrated with a great number of coloured pictures.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 144 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -It is in the surgical aspect of their specialty that the gynecologists' work may be most frequently judged by their peers or by the litigious society that currently exists. Great and commendable progress has been made over the past 30 years in the basic scientific, endocrinologic and obstetric aspects of the specialty, but this has occurred with a commen surate de-emphasis of surgical procedures and surgical training, a decline in devotion to technical detail and perfection, and a tendency to take surgery for granted. Obstetric and gynecologic residency programs provide increasing numbers of specialists with average competence in the performance of the common, rather standardized gynecologic operations. In general, technical skill in the extirpative operations can be acquired far more readily than proficiency in the art of reconstructive surgery. At present, for a number of reasons, gynecologic surgical training is most deficient in regard to the surgical correction of severe forms of obstetrically damaged genital tract supports. The operations for pro lapse defy standardization and require great technical individualization; this must be based on the surgeon's judgment developed through expe rience, a thorough understanding of normal pelvic anatomy, and recog nition of the deficiency responsible for the prolapse in individual cases.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 192 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -These proceedings from the Xth Congress of the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery in Stockholm reflect the growing interest in these fields of neurosurgery. It is the most extensive volume in this series of publications and it contains a large number of original articles pertaining to the most recent advances in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. Not long ago stereotactic neurosurgery was considered an esoteric sub speciality practised only by those involved in treating movement disorders and pain. In the last decade we have witnessed the incorporation of stereotactic methodology in the management of common neurosurgical diseases, and the stereotactic technique is now practised in all major neurosurgical centers. As with other surgical techniques and tools, however, the utilization of stereotactic methods requires special knowledge and training. This book comprises articles which give insight into new stereotactic applications and technology. For example, the usage of stereotaxis without a frame and the so-called navigator systems in open tumor surgery is dealt with in two papers. The introduction and development of radiosurgery is closely linked to the advancement of stereotactic technique. Radiosurgical treatment of tumors and cerebrovascular diseases has been one of major achievements in modern neurosurgery. This publication contains several original reports illustrating the efficacy of radiosurgery in problematic neurosurgical diseases.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 220 pp. Englisch.
