After 13 years there are new areas to discuss and more recent trials to be included. The references are expanded from 305 to 512 and include the recent advances in trial design, such as the n-of-1 trials and megatrials, and up-to-date examples to illustrate the points made in the 20 chapters.

Monitoring of forest condition at the national level started in Finland in 1985 in accordance with the methodology drawn up by the International Co-operative Programme on Assessments and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forests (ICP Forests, UN/ECE).

Proceedings of the IX International Congress of the International Association of Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology, Jerusalem, Israel 14-19 June 1998

A revival of interest in morphology has occurred during recent years. The Yearbook of Morphology 1995 focuses on an important issue in the current morphological debate: the relation between inflection and word formation.

Rijksen was among the first to make a detailed study of the ape in the wild, emerging as an authority on orang-utan conservation.

the interaction between morphological and prosodic structure, on the semantics of word formation, and on a number of related issues in the realm of inflection: the structure of paradigms, the relation between inflection and word formation, and patterns of language change with respect to inflection.

Covers the techniques of data envelopment analysis in dynamic and stochastic fields. This work gives a treatment of productive efficiency analysis in the dynamic environment. It is illustrated by real life applications, and is suitable for students and researchers in operations research, management science and applied econometrics.

Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Algorithms for Large Scale Linear Algebraic Systems: State of the Art and Applications in Science and Engineering, Gran Canaria, Spain, June 23-July 6, 1996

The book addresses conceptual constructions, including multiplicative notions, fractions, algebra, and the fundamental theorem of calculus, and theoretical constructs such as the crucial role of language and symbols, and the importance of dynamic imagery.

Presents a translation of Husserl's "Thing-lectures" (Dingvorlesung) of 1907. The lectures deal with the constitution of the thing as a res extensa, an extended spatial structure filled with sensuous qualities and not yet with substantial or causal properties. They present an example of the application of this idea to a concrete field of research.

Presenting a collection of reviews covering the following constituents of the interstellar medium: dust, molecular gas, neutral atomic hydrogen, ionized hydrogen, and hot gas, and covering the abundances of heavy elements in the interstellar medium and the role of star formation, this title is useful for professional scientists in this field.

the interaction between morphological and prosodic structure, on the semantics of word formation, and on a number of related issues in the realm of inflection: the structure of paradigms, the relation between inflection and word formation, and patterns of language change with respect to inflection.

Presents an account of the techniques and applications in vitro culture. This book gives typical methodological aspects: laboratory set-up, composition and preparation of media, and sterilization of media and plant material. It covers the question of why in vitro culture is practised.

Mathematics is in the unenviable position of being simultaneously one of the most important school subjects for today's children to study and one of the least well understood. Everybody knows how important it is and everybody knows that they have to study it.

This volume explores consultancy at many levels, in different fields and in different countries, including Eastern Europe. The focus is on the ethics of consultants in government, private enterprises, or those who are lobbying large organizations, with an emphasis on Eastern Europe.

Presents a comprehensive compendium of classical and new inequalities as well as some recent extensions to well-known ones. The 30 chapters are all devoted to inequalities associated with a given classical inequality, or give methods for the derivation of new inequalities.

Based on the Lectures given during the Eurocourse on 'Imaging Spectroscopy: Fundamentals and Prospective Applications', held at the Joint Research Centre, Ispra, Italy, October 23-27, 1989

Such was the rationale for 'SOBELA': a 'Seminar on Biotechnol ogy in Europe and Latin America', which in April 1987 brought some 50 Latin American entrepreneurs, policy-makers and academic leaders to Europe and to Brussels.

This timely volume raises issues concerning the nature of school mathematics and mathematics at work, and the challenges of teaching valuable mathematics in school and providing appropriate training for a variety of careers. It offers lively commentaries on important `hot' topics: transferring knowledge and skill across contexts;

For those domains of product design that are highly dependent on transistor-level circuit design and optimization, such as high-speed logic and memory, mixed-signal analog-digital int- faces, RF functions, power integrated circuits, and so forth, circuit simulation is perhaps the single most important tool.

This is a textbook about linear and integer linear optimization. The major goal of the book is to develop the theory of linear and integer linear optimization in a unified manner and then demonstrate how to use this theory in a modern computing environment to solve very large real world problems.

Although the illicit arms trade has evolved over recent years, despite the end of the Cold War it appears to be as vibrant as ever. Against this background, this volume brings together studies of several key issues relating to this trade: the changing nature of the illicit arms trade;

Then come statements by practitioners of four major world religions on the relevance of their respective traditions to the ethics of business. Finally there are six brief case studies prepared by two business ethicists about specific ethical issues arising in international business.

The Hauptvermutung is the conjecture that any two triangulations of a poly hedron are combinatorially equivalent. Unfortunately, the published record of the manifold Hauptvermutung has been incomplete, as was forcefully pointed out by Novikov in his lecture at the Browder 60th birthday conference held at Princeton in March 1994.

Until recently the interest of plant physiologists in the structure and function of the root, as compared with the above-ground organs, was rather limited.
