The chapters in this category focus on introducing basic concepts, providing mathematical background and validating algorithmic tools to solve operational problems in supply chains. The chapters in this category explicitly model the effect of information on decision-making and on supply chain performance.

Over forty years ago, concern was first focussed on cadmium contamination of soils, fertilisers and the food chain. Since then, substantial research data have accumulated for cadmium on chemistry in soils, additions to soils, uptake by plants, adverse effects on the soil biota and transfer through the food chain.

Proceedings of an International Symposium on Management of Mycorrhizas in Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry, held in Perth, Western Australia, September 28--October 2, 1992

Presents the basic ontological issues that must be raised with respect to the meaning and function of natural science. This title discusses the ontological issues from a hermeneutico-phenomenological point of view.

Integration in infinitely dimensional spaces (continual integration) is a powerful mathematical tool which is widely used in a number of fields of modern mathematics, such as analysis, the theory of differential and integral equations, probability theory and the theory of random processes.

Most of the attention with respect to the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations centers around three issues: human-generated sources of carbon, mostly from burning fossil fuels;

One is in terms of tendencies, movements, and schools of thought and the other is in terms of traditional sub-disciplines.

The occasional claim that developmental dyslexia is virtually nonexistent in some languages coupled with the fact that languages differ in their writing systems has further rendered orthography a subject of serious investigation.

Examines the legacy of the historical coincidence of the emergence of science and opera in the early modern period. This book explores opera and science by a phenomenology of the formulations of consciousness (Gurwitsch) as compossible tasks to be accomplished in common (Schutz) which share an ideal possibility or 'essence' (Husserl).

Divided into five sections, this book considers the history of ideas in ophthalmology and visual sciences; biographies of researchers in ophthalmology; the history of academic institutions involved in ophthalmology; ophthalmology in antiquity; and oral history in ophthalmology.

Global Competition and Integration offers varied perspectives on the changing international economy. The book is divided into four main sections covering world trade and competition, innovation and growth, financial markets and globalization, and regulation, distribution, and the role of government.

In recent years, a booming research interest has been observed in linking basic cognitive processes with a variety of social and clinical phenomena. Evidence comes from the increasing popularity of psychological paradigms such as social cognition, cognitive psychopathology or cognitive aging.

Proceedings of the Joint International Meeting of the Japanese Association for Animal Cell Technology (JAACT) and the European Society for Animal Cell Technology (ESACT) 1998, Kyoto, Japan

The convergence of game theory and epistemic logic has been in progress for years. This book considers the issues of knowledge, belief and strategic interaction. It focuses on epistemic logic and the representative topics of backward induction arguments and syntax/semantics and the logical omniscience problem.

Leukemia is a malignant disease which continues to play a cutting edge role in the discovery of basic knowledge about the malignant process and about the potential for controlling these malignant diseases. This title covers such topics as chromosome 16, chromosome 5, the BCL-2 gene, 11q23 breakpoint leukemias, and hematopoietic stem cells.

Proceedings of the 33rd European Marine Biology Symposium, held at Wilhelmshaven, Germany, 7-11 September 1998

It indicates the scope of the issues by discussing, e.g., the distinctive acts of valuing, openness to value, the objectivity of values, the summation and combination of values, the deconstruction of values, the value of absence, and the value of nature.

They address questions raised by the recurrent observation that, all too frequently, the present ways and means of teaching mathematics generate in the student a lasting aversion against numbers, rather than an understanding of the useful and sometimes enchanting things one can do with them.

However, other Arabic terms which are occasionally used in English but not as widely known, such as harrah for a basaltic lava fIeld and hima for a traditional grazing reserve, are italicised throughout the text.
