Biometrics in dermatology is an essential tool where data evaluation results in valid interpretations. One part of the book will describe principal aspects of dermatological research focussing on practical advice.

This volume is intended for reference by the commercial sugar cane grower. In my forty-five years of experience with the day-to-day problems of producing a satisfactory crop of sugar cane, deciding what should be done to produce such a crop was not straightforward.

Volume 3 is devoted to the latest diagnostic technology for virus diseases, particularly molecular methodologies.

Proceedings of the International Symposium on Asphaltenes at the Fine Particle Society Meeting in Chicago, Illinois, August 23-24, 1995, and the Symposium on Asphaltene and Resid Characterization held in San Francisco, California, April 13-17, 1998

Initial nonrelativistic quark m- els assigned the origin of nucleon spin to the fundamental half-integral spin of its three constituent quarks, leaving no room for contributions to the spin from the gluons associated with the interacting quarks or from the orbital angular momentum of either gluons or quarks.

Dr. SchOnnesson, a Fulbright scholar at the HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies, Columbia University in 1995, has unusually extensive clinical experience in counseling HIV-positive gay men.

Employs historical archaeological evidence to demonstrate how polite rituals reproduced the social and material world of commerce in colonial Massachusetts. This title situates artifacts within the social contexts described in contemporary letters and diaries and depicted in literature and art.

This book provides an overview of the current advances in the field of gene therapy and the methods that are being successfully applied in the manufacture of gene therapeutic products, and hopefully will stimulate further progress and advancement in this field to meet the ever-increasing demands.

In this groundbreaking handbook, more than 60 internationally respected authorities explore the interface between intelligence and personality by bringing together a wide range of potential integrative links drawn from theory, research, measurements, and applications.

th This volume contains articles presented at the X International Symposium on Purines and Pyrimidines in Man, held on May 14 19, 2000 in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Atomic Physics is certainly the oldest field in which Quantum Mechanics has been used and has provided the most significant proofs of this new theory. Atomic Physics began to serve as a basis for other fields such as molecu lar, solid state or nuclear physics.

Explores the impact of various health-care structures on the ability of health-care professionals to practice in an ethically acceptable manner. This volume addresses ethical issues raised in a system where patients are treated by different physicians inside and outside the hospital.

During the past two decades Membrane Science and Technology has made tremendous progress and has changed from a simple laboratory tool to large scale processes with numerous applications in Medicine and Industry.

Offers a systematic description of the variational theory of splines in Hilbert spaces. This book discusses central aspects in the general form: existence, uniqueness, characterization, convergence, error estimations, vector and tensor hybrids in splines, and dimensional reducing (traces of splines onto manifolds).

Explains thermodynamic phenomena and concepts in physical terms. This book focuses on the effects of pressure, temperature and chemical composition on thermodynamic properties and places emphasis on rapidly evolving fields such as amorphous materials, metastable phases, numerical simulations of microsystems and high-pressure thermodynamics.

Within the various aspects of life-science technologies medicine and information technology will change next millennium's quality-of-life fundamentally.

Beginning with the assumption that a justice motive exists, the author posits that belief in a just world influences the behavior of most people most of the time. This is true for all people of all ages and in all areas of life, for those struggling with their daily tasks as well as for those coping with a critical life event.

This book deals with the use of technology in science teaching.

This volume examines models of collaboration between personnel in social service agencies, women's centers, domestic violence programs, medical and mental health settings, and law enforcement.

Certain quadratic eigenvalue problems arising, e.g., in finite element discretization in structural analysis, in acoustic simulation of poro-elastic materials, or in the elastic deformation of anisotropic materials can also lead to symplectic eigenvalue problems.

While conducting research on intellectual and neuropsychological perfonnance of various patient populations across time, we became aware of the lack of information concerning practice effects associated with many widely used assessment instruments.

Proceedings of a Symposium held in Davis, California, March 27-28, 1995

The aim of Bladder Research Congress, San Francisco, California, April 23-25, 1998, was to provide a forum for authoritative investigators who are actively involved in the various disciplines which define the leading edges of bladder research.

This text looks at subcellular chemistry, particularly at intermediate filaments. Topics include fish intermediate filament proteins in structure, evolution, and function, and lessons from keratin transgenic and knockout mice.

Proceedings of the 20th Course of the International School of Quantum Electronics held in Erice, Italy, November 14-24, 1996

Proceedings of a NATO ASI held in Rhodes, Greece, June 20-30, 1997

While test-retest data were available for almost all assessment instruments, this was usually in the form of correlation coefficients and not changes in mean performance between or across assessment periods (see McCaffrey & Westervelt, 1995 for a detailed discussion of these and related issues).

In this groundbreaking new volume, computer researchers discuss the development of technologies and specific systems that can interpret data with respect to domain knowledge. Although the chapters each illuminate different aspects of image interpretation, all utilize a common approach - one that asserts such interpretation must involve perceptual learning in terms of automated knowledge acquisition and application, as well as feedback and consistency checks between encoding, feature extraction, and the known knowledge structures in a given application domain. The text is profusely illustrated with numerous figures and tables to reinforce the concepts discussed.

There is a certain fascination associated with words. But language changes as old words are used in a new context and new words are created to describe changing situations. It is one created from old words to express a new presence.

Biomedical scientists widely acknowledge that individuals' immune respon siveness is important in resistance to infections by microorganisms, including fungi.
