It has become clear in recent years from such major forums as the various international conferences on flexible manufacruring systems (FMSs) that the computer-controlled and -integrated "factory of the furure" is now being considered as a commercially viable and technically achievable goal.

These proceedings, entitled RESIDUAL STRESS AND STRESS RELAXATION, address the nature of residual stresses and their measurements, the sources of residual stress, stress relaxation, sub-critical crack growth in the presence of residual stress, residual stresses and properties, and research in progress.

The Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center in coop eration with the Materials Science Group of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science of Syracuse University has been conducting the Annual Sagamore Army Materials Research Conference since 1954.

We have chosen to restrict our coverage to polymers that have received at least some degree of commercial exploitation and to details of their methods of preparation, their thermal and thermo-oxidative stabilities and modes of degradation, and their properties at elevated temperatures.

The planning for the conference held at Erice, Sicily, in November 1977, began with discussions among oceanographers from several countries on the need to consider the special problems and the recent results in the study of plankton "patchiness.

Emergent Practice Planning is a significant resource for school psychologists, school counsellors, child practitioners, child psychologists, and upper-level students of school psychology.

This volume, the first in the series, explores the high-functioning group of people within the spectrum of autism disorders. Written in a style that is accessible to both seasoned clinicians and concerned lay persons, this volume is a unique resource.

This book aims to synthesize more than 600,000 years of Italian prehistory, beginning with the Lower Paleolithic and ending with the last hunter-gatherers of the early Holocene.

The author wrote a monograph 20 years ago on the construction of spin eigen functions; Moreover the use of the spin-coupled valence bond method showed the importance of using different constructions for the spin functions.

In Part I (Basic Concepts and Models), the chapters include diagnosis and classfication, assess ment strategies, research methods, the psychoanalystic model, the behavioral model, and the biological model.

This book takes a traditional approach to the development of the methods of analytical dynamics, using two types of examples throughout: simple illustrations of key results and thorough applications to complex, real-life problems.

Coerced confessions are a staple of TV crime dramas, and have also been the subject of the news stories. This book offers a synthesis of the scientific, legal, and ethical findings in this area, revealing the subtle yet powerful forces that often compromise the integrity of the criminal justice system.

Addresses the need to revisit the economic theories that have contributed to the development of a concentrated research agenda on nonprofit organizations. This work suggests that it is time to take stock and re-examine some of the basics from which these economic theories operate.

How did past communities and individuals remember through social and ritual practices? This book shows how in the past, as today, shared memories are important and defining aspects of social and ritual traditions, and the practical actions of dealing with and disposing of the dead can form a central focus for the definition of social memory.

Filling a large gap in the literature on the social context of reproduction this important monograph offers indispensable information for public health researchers, program planners, anthropologists, sociologists, urban planners, medical providers, policy makers, and private funders.

In the early 1980s the transtheoretical model of change was still in its infancy. In Britain and the Americas, it is now unusual to find an addiction professional who has not at least heard about the stages of change, and more sophisticated applica tions of the transtheoretical model are spreading through health care systems and well beyond.

Experts from academia, clinical settings, and the business world pool their knowledge about work injury prevention and management in the new Sourcebook of Occupational Rehabilitation. The text takes a multidisciplinary viewpoint toward its subject in order to shed light on the mechanisms and management of work-related disorders.

This unique book offers a theoretical framework for historical archaeology that explicitly relies on network theory.

The textbook we offer to the reader is based on a two-term course of lec tures, "Electromagnetic Response of Material Media," that the authors gave for a number of years to the final-year students of the Physics Depart ment of Moscow University.

This book is intended to present an introductory treatment of the calculus of variations in Part I and of optimal control theory in Part II. Part II is devoted to the elementary aspects of the modern extension of the calculus of variations, the theory of optimal control of dynamical systems.

But 'Proceedings' are proverbially ephemeral material reflecting an array of solo performances, whereas this book is hopefully more like an orchestra's performance, of classical together with new material. Related to receptor methodo logy, receptor features and phenomena get due attention in the text.
