This book is the combined proceedings of the latest IFIP Formal Description Techniques (FDTs) and Protocol Specification, Testing and Verification (PSTV) series. It addresses FDTs applicable to communication protocols and distributed systems, with special emphasis on standardised FDTs.

Knowledge-Intensive CAD clarifies and elaborates the concepts of knowledge-intensive design and CAD.

Part One presents a general introduction to the study of animal energetics: Part Two discusses the theory behind use of doubled labellled water and Part Three evaluates the practical aspects of its use and the methodlologies required for its application.

Presents research worldwide on communications protocols, emphasizing specification and compliance testing. This book presents the proceedings of the fourteenth meeting on 'Protocol Specification, Testing and Verification' arranged by the International Federation for Information Processing and held in Vancouver, Canada.

Two insects, the cigarette beetle (Lasioderma serricorne) and the tobacco moth (Ephestia elutella), feed on cured tobacco leaves, whether air-cured burley, sun-cured oriental, flue-cured or tobacco by-products (Chapter 2).

Cereal uses range from human food and beverages to animal feeds and industrial products. It is human food and beverages which are the predominant uses covered in this book, since the nutritional quality of cereals for animal feed is described in other publications on animal nutrition, and industrial products are a relatively minor use of cereals.

Daniel Pauly is the most widely cited fisheries scientist of his generation. On the Sex of Fish and the Gender of Scientists comprises an edited and updated collection of 27 of Daniel Pauly's essays, spanning a great range of exciting and sometimes controversial topics, many of them breaking new scientific ground.

This book fills the gap in the available literature on modelling farm animal systems. This monograph has a broad and comprehensive coverage of ruminant systems and features the application of models in animal biology. It will be of great value to animal scientists, agricultural scientists, modellers and animal physiologists.

This volume puts forward a group of models applied to different economies, capturing the progress and growth of their economic systems. The models take into account constraints which are in the nature of institutional as well as supply constraints.

This book presents a comprehensive typology and a comprehensible description of spatiotemporal models used in population dynamics. The main types included are: reaction-diffusion systems, patch models, matapopulation approaches, host parasitoid models, cellular automata (interacting particle systems), tessellations and distance models.

This guide concentrates on companies engaged in food manufacturing in Britain. These include those quoted on the London Stock Exchange, the Unlisted Securities Market and some of the larger private companies. Companies based in Eire are not included unless a parent company exists in Britain.

This book studies the redistribution impact of social security schemes on income distribution. A detailed model is derived from the particular example of the Netherlands, but the findings have significant implications for all those concerned with social security systems and their political and economic role.

Felix Redmill and Tom Anderson have edited one of the first books to appear on this vital subject. This important volume covers the development of computer systems for use in safety-critical applications, the technologies used and the experience of those using them. There are contributions from many leading experts in the field.

This introductory book is for students on degree or HNC/D courses with a biological content requiring familiarity with modern laboratory instruments and analytical techniques. Numerous diagrams, in-text questions and comments challenge the reader to interact with, rather than passively accept, the material.

The principal aim of this book is to help practising managers to develop and implement a strategy for the introduction of Total Quality Management (TQM) within their own organizations. It provides a practical guide to the stages, key considerations and potential pitfalls of implementation.

Offers coverage of molecular systematics including relevant aspects of nucleic acid sequences, the construction of phylogenetic trees, typing of bacteria by restriction fragment length polymorphisms, DNA hybridization probes and the use of the polymerase chain reaction in bacterial systematics.

Second in our Ecotoxicology series, this book presents a timely discussion of theoretical and practical issues involved in the study of ecotoxicology. By concentrating on the key issues, the book provides an exciting introduction for those new to ecotoxicology while stimulating veterans in the field into lively debate.

Epithelia are one of the commonest tissue types in the animal kingdom. An important theme is the way in which epithelial cells differentiate to specialized tissue - reversal of this process occurs when cells become tumorigenic.

RICHARD DAWKINS A conference with the title 'The Tinbergen Legacy' was held in Oxford on 20th March, 1990. Over 120 of Niko Tinbergen's friends, family, colleagues, former students and people who had never met him in person converged at Oxford for what turned out to be a memorable day.

OPEC was founded - rather unnoticed - by oil-producing countries still struggling to gain control over national petroleum resources. The foremost aim of the new organization - years before it was able to make metropolitan newspaper headlines - was stabilizing oil prices.

Illustrates the application of tissue culture to conservation of plant genetic resources using major crops as examples. This book reviews the techniques in common use and looks at more novel techniques being used to enhance the existing methodology.

Essentially concerned with how nitrogen-fixing organisms function and why they are of practical importance, this book reflects the influence on this subject of recent developments in biochemistry, molecular biology, genetic engineering and other biotechnologies.

A study on the sessile species of the intertidal zone which attempts to portray the intricate interplay of structural, physiological and behavioural adaptations that enable one animal to live where its congeners cannot.

A discussion of the recent advances in the field of nucleo-cytoplasmic transport for senior undergraduate and postgraduate biologists emphasizing the role of methodology in both formulating problems and answering them.

A book such as this faces two challenges at the outset: the sheer volume of the literature, and the presence of established research traditions which determine how that literature is to be interpreted and understood.

A basis for approaching the problem of cancer through examination of the biochemistry and behaviour of malignant cells. The book provides a general background to the metastatic cell describing current knowledge about its genotype and phenotype and possible future directions for research.

This book should be of interest to organic and biological chemists in universities, professional research chemists in pharmaceutical and dye industries.

This book integrates microbiology and chemistry and looks at the effects of metals on microorganisms and, in turn, the effects of microorganisms on metals and their compounds.
