Bringing together a range of contributors, each working in carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry, this text provides a review of these areas. It should be of interest to chemists, biochemists and biologists.

The filamentous fungi are perhaps unique in the diversity of their metabolic activities. An account of lignocellulose degradation by filamentous fungi follows, illustrating the potential of fungi to utilize this substance as a renewable energy source.

This major two volume work presents a new decision making tool which enables manufacturers and scientists to undertake life cycle assessment (LCA) of new products from the design and development stages.

The aim of this book is to introduce the behaviour, ecology, pathology and control of arthropod ectoparasites of domestic animals to students and practitioners of veterinary medicine, animal husbandry and applied biology.

This edition seeks to provide the reader with a coherent, concise introduction to the subject. An attempt is made to synthesize the explosion of information during the early 1990s about the different phases of fertilization.

This book results from a summer school held at Cornell University in 1992. The summer school was the second in a continuing series whose underlying aim and the aim of this volume-is to bring together the different methods and concepts underpinning terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecology.

The general theme of this conference is notations, methods, and tool support for the calculation of programs from specifications. The purpose of this working conference is to present the results of ongoing research, descriptions of existing and proposed systems, and applications to the production of practical software.

This book gives a comprehensive and authoritative survey of modern geophysical methods used in prospecting for natural resources, and in civil engineering, geohydrological, and environmental investigation.

Previously published in hardback and now made available in paperback, this ground-breaking book is a must for all interested in butterflies, whether as conservation biologist, amateur or professional entomologist or as a student studying the phenomenon of butterfly populations as part of a number of biology, ecology or conservation courses.

The control of food safety in modern food processing relies upon HACCP and other systems that identify hazards and define processes to control them. These demand a thorough understanding of the properties of microbial pathogens under all the conditions that could be found in foods and the food processing environment.

SCM is one of the hottest topics in manufacturing and distribution, and like JIT and TQC it requires a corporate commitment. This book provides both fundamental principles of SCM as well as a set of guidelines to assist in practical application of SCM.

In the past five years, vegetable protein meal production has increased 10% while fish meal production has dropped over 50%, since 1989, largely attributed to overfishing and serious decline in wild stock.

Continuous-time econometrics is no longer an esoteric subject although most still regard it as such, so much so that it is hardly mentioned in standard textbooks on econometrics.

The objective of the Fifth International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQOS) is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners working in all facets of QOS research. While many workshops and conferences offer technical sessions on the topic QOS, none other than IWQOS, provide a single-track workshop dedicated to QOS research.

The recent development of ideas on biodiversity conservation was already being considered almost three-quarters of a century ago for crop plants and the wild species related to them, by the Russian geneticist N.!.

As an instructor in various finishing courses, I have frequently made the statement over the years that "In the field of metal finishing there is very little black and white, just a great deal of grey. In the pages that follow, you will therefore find frequent references to other sources where more detailed explanations or information can be found.

The main aim of this work is to present the fundamental principles of soil mechanics. It assembles the key elements of an undergraduate course, leading from introductory empirical and theoretical explanations to practical applications. Accompanies the main text (ISBN 0-412-39590-8).

Rigorous production criteria are followed by both seed producer and seed companies to ensure that high-quality seed is produced and marketed. From this founda tion, the practices of seed production are provided in detail in Part II, Seed Production of Specific Crops.

By means of this action they produce decomposition in bodies, and form new compounds into the composition of which they do not enter. I shall also call catalysis the decomposition of bodies by this force. Perhaps Berzelius' train of thought was that catalytic action appeared to defy the scientific laws and principles as formulated in 1836.

During the past decade, the study of the chemical structures used by insects has advanced from a subject that could be reviewed in a single volume to a vastly more advanced level. This important new volume brings together a focused group of reviews that offer perspective on the most interesting advances in insect chemical ecology.

Combining a general introduction to Gaussian beams and quasioptical propagation with practical applications, Quasioptical Systems provides a state-of-the-art treatment of the design of low-loss, broadband systems at microwave to submillimeter wavelengths.

IFIP TC6 Working Conference on Optical Network Design and Modelling, 24-25 February 1997, Vienna, Austria

This book is based on extensive experience teaching VHDL to undergraduate students at the University of Portsmouth, UK, and to engineers in industry through short courses run by Mentor Graphics Corporation, USA.

The purpose of Agriculture and the Citizen is to help people understand the way in which agriculture operates, providing the information necessary to enable them to arrive at an informed view on major issues: can the increasing world population be adequately fed without unacceptable pollution to the environment?

Open Distributed Processing contains the selected proceedings of the Third International Conference on Open Distributed Systems, organized by the International Federation for Information Processing and held in Brisbane, Australia, in February 1995.

About half the world's coastlines are in the tropics and about a third of the tropical coastlines are made of coral reef. Roughly half the calcium that enters the sea each year around the world, from the north to south poles, is taken up and temporarily bound into coral reefs (Smith, 1978).

Many mites possess extremely intricate life styles in close association with plant and animal hosts. Recent research methodologies have made it practical for the first time to perform experimental work with mites, and since they offer short generation times and rapid research results, they are excellent model systems.

The book provides an introduction to digital signal processing for intermediate level students of electronic and/or electrical engineering and is also relevant to other disciplines which deal with time-series analysis: these include acoustics, mathematics, statistics, psychology and economics.

This book combines the two methodologies of enterprise modeling and enterprise integration and advocates a systematic engineering approach called Enterprise Engineering, for modeling, analysing, designing and implementing integrated enterprise systems.
