I have tried in this book to introduce the basic concepts of electromagnetic field theory at a level suitable for students entering degree or higher diploma courses in electronics or subjects allied to it.

In the last few years there has been a tremendous increase in the number of Pascal courses taught at various levels in schools and universities. A number of Pascal implementations exist and in the last two years a new Pascal specification has emerged.

The reasoning that lies behind this modular presentation is simple, namely to allow the student (be he a mathematician or not) to read the subject in a way that is more appropriate to the length, content, and extent, of the various courses he has to take.

Lipids can usually be extracted easily from tissues by making use of their hydrophobic characteristics. Although research laboratories use generally sophisticated analytical methods such as GLC to analyse and quantify lipid samples, chemical derivatie:ations are often used in hospitals.

The student of biological science in his final years as an undergraduate and his first years as a graduate is expected to gain some familiarity with current research at the frontiers of his discipline.

Many of the results of Chapter 9 do indeed generalize to higher dimensions (and the general machinery of simplicial homology theory is avai1able from earlier chapters) but I have confined myself to one example, namely the theorem that non-orientable closed surfaces do not embed in three-dimensional space.

We have, however, tried to bring the present edition up to date on the lines of our revised tenth edition of Imms' General Textbook 0/ Entomology, published in 1977.

Since then a wealth of information on enzyme heterogeneity has accrued and it now seems likely that at least half of all enzymes exist as isoenzymes.

The following pages are meant for those who wish to use thyristors. Thyristors are used so much in connection with the control of machines that it is worthwhile to go into some details of both the electric drive to be controlled and the possible thyristor control units.

The major emphasis is on the behaviour of rocks as materials, although in the later chapters the behaviour of discontinuities in rocks, and the way in which this can affect the behaviour of rock masses, is considered.

This book is a new attempt to interrelate the chemistry of the non-metals. In the early chapters, simple compounds of the non-metals with the halogens, hydrogen, and oxygen are surveyed, permitting a large area of chemistry to be discussed without the burden of too many facts.

The second half of the book describes fully important algorithms in current use such as variable metric methods for unconstrained problems and penalty function methods for constrained problems.

Plant breeding's inherent multifaceted nature means that alongside obvious subject areas like genetics we also need to consider areas such as: statistics, physiology, plant pathology, entomology, biochemistry, weed science, quality, seed characteristics, repro ductive biology, trial design, selection and computing.

In a field of mature bananas, plants can be seen at all stages of vegetative growth and fruit maturity, providing a fascination for anyone who has an interest in growing crops.

It is characterized by emphasis on the need for renewed and careful observation of the huge variety of social phenomena occurring in nature; by emphasis on a balanced study of the three main biological problems function, causation, evolution; by emphasis on an appro priate sequence of description, qualitative analysis, quanti tative analysis;

Freud, they might argue, was not only (and very explicitly) a psychologist, but also (and equally explicitly) a clinical psychologist, whose most immediate preoccupation was that of trying to cure the mental illnesses of his patients.

Contains the answers to numerous complex shielding problems. This book integrates basic concepts with hands-on techniques and practical recommendations on a broad range of EMC and shielding-related subjects: the role and significance of the shielding discipline, electromagnetic energy coupling and transfer mechanisms, and shielding and cables.

This work introduces an approach to setting environmental pollution standards which aims to allow for proper treatment of uncertainty and variation. It surveys the forms of standards and attempts to propose a new kind of "statistically verifiable ideal standard".

It contains the selected proceedings of Interact '95 - the Fifth International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction - arranged by the International Federation for Information Processing and held in Lillehammer, Norway, in June 1995.

Intended for engineers with little or no previous exposure to experimental design, this book shows how to use statistically designed experiments to improve products and processes. A prerequisite is an appreciation for the concept of random variation.

This text on animal pollution dynamics should be of interest to those studying ecology, population dynamics and pest control.

Written for diploma level students and those undertaking introductory courses or modules in microbiology as part of their degree course, this book aims to cover the fundamental principles of microbiology and their applications.

Finite population sampling has recently been considered from a Bayesian perspective. Though the computational difficulties of the processes have limited their use, this text argues that Bayesian ideas should play a more significant role in the theory and practice of finite population sampling.

This introduction to statistical methods reviews basic notation and intermediate and advanced methods for use in environmental laboratory studies. It discusses situations where the various methods are brought together for the statistical analysis of bio-chemical and other environmental effects.

Microbiology may be described as one of the younger sciences with its history, as a precise subject, only dating as far back as Pasteur in the mid 1800s and his revelation both of the role of microorganisms in nature and their importance to human welfare.
