This book is about a new and different way of approaching and studying the history of the built environment and the use of historical precedents in design. Underlying this is my view of Environment-Behavior Studies CEBS) as an emerging theory rather than as data to help design based on current "theory.

During the past ten years, evidence has developed to indicate that seawater convects through oceanic crust driven by heat derived from creation of lithosphere at the Earth-encircling oceanic ridge-rift system of seafloor spreading centers.

Since the early days of modem physics spectroscopic techniques have been employed as a powerful tool to assess existing theoretical models and to uncover novel phenomena that promote the development of new concepts.

Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Neuroimmune Circuits, Drugs of Abuse and Infectious Diseases held on October 7-9, 1999 in Bethesda, Maryland, USA

Reviews novel instrumentation and techniques as applied to the analysis of diacylglycerylphospholipids, modifications to DNA, and the characterization of variant hemoglobins. This book reflects various approaches mass spectroscopists apply to clinical and biomedical challenges.

Even though they are as much an integral part of the individual as a leg or a liver, the sex organs are unique in that many cultures have established laws and taboos over the use and even the mere display of the sex organs.

Covers a range of topics that reflect perspectives of northern and southern hemispheres. This book discusses traditional tropical medicine topics of infectious diseases and nutritional deficiencies. It begins with several papers describing the human genetic diversity of Southeast Asia and its relationship to several genetic disorders.

The 38 chapters cover a broad range of research activities categorized into four sub-topics, namely: * Processes in Laser Fields, * Chemical Physics, * Collision Processes, * Atomic Structure and Applications.

The mechanistic-deterministic de scription of reality - for instance, a la Laplace - although acknowledging that it is not possible to predict phenomena exactly owing to unavoid able measurement error, is based on the recognition of the their causal nature, even in an ontological sense.

Based on synthetic architectures and systems covered by the contents of selected plenary and invited lectures delivered at the 1st International Symposium on Macro- and Supramolecular Architectures and Materials: Biological and Synthetic Systems, this title contains 22 chapters written by 64 experts from 13 different countries.

Furthermore, experts in the field have combined topics such as skeletal muscle angiogenesis and hypoxia, high altitude pulmonary edema, new insights into the biology of the erythropoietin receptor, and the latest advances in cardiorespiratory control in hypoxia.

The systems movement is made up of many systems societies as well as of disciplinary researchers and researches, explicitly or implicitly focusing on the subject of systemics, officially introduced in the scientific community fifty years ago.

Hence IPALAC - The International Program for Arid Land Crops - whose function is to serve as a catalyst for optimizing the contribution of plant germplasm to sustainable development in desertification-prone regions - felt the time was opportune for providing a platform for projects where the "plant-driven" approach to development finds expression.

Proceedings of the FEMS Symposium on Genes and Proteins Underlying Microbial Urinary Tract Virulence: Basic Aspects and Applications, held September 16-19, 1999, in Pecs, Hungary.

Covers topics in quantum similarity approaches and electron density shape analysis methods. This work provides a theoretical understanding of molecular similarity. It also covers quantitative shape analysis, especially activity relations (QShAR) and the prediction of the pharmacological effects of molecules in the context of quantum QSAR (QQSAR).

Proceedings of Session VII of the Tenth International Symposium on Chromaffin Cell Biology, held August 25-28, 1999, in Bergen, Norway, and a post-symposium workshop on Chromogranins: from Fundamental Physiology to Clinical Aspects, held August 28, 1999, on board the coastal steamer MS Richard With.

The Upper Mantaro Archaeological Research Project, a multiyear program undertaken from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s, is a benchmark for a level of quality in Andean archaeological research. This volume continues the UMARP tradition of developing innovative approaches to understanding prehistoric Andean economy and polity.

One ofmy first frustrations with biomedical and social scientists who write about sexuality was that they often define sexual attraction in strict behavioral terms, as completed observable sexual acts--observable in the sense that such acts or their consequences are seen by others.

Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Human and Machine Perception, held September 14-17, 1998, in Pavia, Italy.

This book traces the development of employment relations in France since 1968 and analyzes the main forms of evolution and innovation in two areas; human resources management and industrial relations.

Many of the foundations of thermophile research were laid in Yellowstone National Park, primarily by the research of Professor Thomas Brock's laboratory in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

In the mid-1970s, as a social psychologist dedicated to the application of knowl edge, I welcomed our field's emerging interest in the legal system. More important, the criminal justice system is a major social force that has been ignored by social psychologists for most of the twentieth century.

Focuses on the study of sedimentary basins, stressing useful parts of problems in which geothermics is involved. This title includes the measuring of temperature logs and capturing of industrial temperature data and their interpretation to delineate subsurface conditions and processes.

Presents general strategies on how to approach the bioengineering of a plant for better properties by creating arsenals of various cloned genes for enzymes from plant algae, fungal, and bacterial sources. This volume includes topics on the manipulation of genes in plants, novel vaccines and therapeutic reagents, and improved nutritional quality.

Contains nine review articles on research in condensed matter and statistical physics. This book includes reviews which present the status and insights into these central fields of research. It provides instructive discussions in the reviews to encourage and assist young research students.

Biological control offers a promising alternative to chemical control which can have adverse environmental implications. This volume contains 16 articles describing the most modern topics in biocontrol of plant pathogens, including risk analysis for the release of microbial antagonists, genetic engineering and application of tissue culture.

American things, American material culture, and American archaeology are the themes of this book. Contributors utilize data about everyday objects - from tin cans and bottles to namebrand items, from fish bones to machinery - to analyze the way American capitalism works.

Proceedings of the Ninth European Conference on Eye Movements held in Ulm, Germany, September 23-26, 1997

An attempt to use archaeological materials to investigate the colonization of southeastern Africa during the period 1500 to 1900. Special attention is paid to the period of state formation in Swaziland and a critique of the `Settler Model', which the author finds to be invalid.
