At the 8th European Congress of Neurosurgery, which took place in Barcelona, September 6-11, 1987, a great number of papers from all fields of neurosurgery were presented, reflecting the major advances that have been achieved in recent years.

The four sections of this book cover cell and molecular biology of tumor metabolism, metabolites, tumor microenvironment, diagnostics and epigenetics. Written by international experts, it provides a thorough insight into and understanding of tumor cell metabolism and its role in tumor biology.

Lungenfunktionsuntersuchung, inkl. arterielle Blutgasanalyse, und Spiroergometrie gehören zu den etablierten diagnostischen Verfahren. Insbesondere Internisten, Pneumologen, Allgemeinmediziner, Anästhesisten und Gutachter sind im Arbeitsalltag auf die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchungen angewiesen. Dieses Buch legt den Schwerpunkt auf die Analyse und klinische Interpretation der Untersuchungsbefunde. Beginnend mit den für das Verständnis notwendigen physiologischen bzw. physikalischen Grundlagen erläutert der Autor Messwerte, typische Befundmuster und ihre Deutung. Besonderen Wert legt er auf ein systematisches Vorgehen und didaktische Klarheit. In der 3. Auflage wurden Definitionen und Referenzwerte unter Berücksichtigung der Vereinheitlichung auf europäischer Ebene aktualisiert und neue Themen, wie die Befundung auf Basis graphischer Darstellungen der Ergebnisse erörtert. Die neueste Demonstrationsversion der Software "Pulmopret light", die den praktischen Umgang mit Befunden erleichtert, ist nun online verfügbar.

Psychiatric Drugs in Children and Adolescents

This book illustrates in a unique way the most common diseases affecting the human nervous system using different imaging modalities derived from radiology, nuclear medicine, and neuropathology.

Aging of somatic stem cells reduces cell function and results in dysfunctional organs and tissues, making it an underlying cause of diseases associated with aging.

This is a timely collection of important biomedical applications for a set of separation/characterization techniques that are rapidly gaining popularity due to their wide dynamic range, high resolution, and ability to function in most commonly used solvent systems.

Haptic Systems Architecture Modeling showcases a novel approach to modeling systems architectures by utilizing Lego bricks and RFID technology. The presented solution can be used by systems and software architects to communicate their design decisions with other stakeholders.

This book is the formal proceedings of the Eurographics Workshop on Design, Specifi cation and Verification ofInteractive Systems, DSV-IS'99, which was held at the Uni versity of Minho, Braga, Portugal from June 2 to June 4, 1999.

(The programme committee and external reviewers are listed following the contents pages.) In this new review process, all submissions and reviews were handled electronically, with the ex ception of videos submitted with a few of the papers.

Does modelling, formal or otherwise, play a role in designing interactive systems? This development poses a significant challenge to modelling approaches used for the design of interactive systems.

The papers in this proceedings contain new research results in the areas of Finite-Element and Monte-Carlo illumination algorithms, image-based render ing, outdoor and natural illumination, error metrics, perception, texture and color handling, data acquisition for rendering, and efficient use of hardware.

Making systems easier to use implies an ever increasing complexity in managing communication between users and applications.

The Rendering Workshop proceedings are an obligatory piece of literature for all scientists working in the rendering field, but they are also very valuable for the practitioner involved in the implementation of state of the art rendering system certainly influencing the scientific progress in this field.

The fifth workshop, on Programming Paradigms in Graphics, set out to provide answers and alternatives to the shortcomings of object-oriented graphics. In past Eurographics workshops on Object-Oriented Graphics the prominent trend has been a discovery of the limits of object-orientation in graphics.

This book is the final outcome of the Eurographics Workshop on Design, Specification and Verification of Interactive Systems, that was held in Bonas, from June 7 to 9, 1995.

While in the first workshop in 1993 many concepts in VE were presented, the '95 workshop showed up various applications in different areas and demonstrated quite clearly that Virtual Environments are now used in interactive applications.

Following five successful workshops in the previous five years, the Rendering Workshop is now well established as a major international forum and one of the most reputable events in the field of realistic image synthesis.

The clinical electrophysiology of the human somatosensory cortex was investigated with a combined approach using cortical stimulations and somatosensory evoked responses on electrocorticography, scalp-EEG, and magnetoencephalography. This work studied the spatiotemporal structure of the evoked response with biophysical modeling techniques.
