Attempts to provide some answers to emerging questions in materials chemistry. The text includes chapters on arborals, starburst polymers, molecular fractals, ultralong alkanes and self-assembly of supermolecular species.

This volume explores the area of the integrity objective within IT security. It also examines the relationship between integrity in information systems and the overall internal control systems that are established in organizations to support the corporate governance codes.

Contains the contributions presented at the IUTAM Symposium on Variations of Domains and Free-Boundary Problems in Solid Mechanics, held in Paris, France, 22-25 April, 1997.

This introduction to Leibniz's early philosophy throws light on the development of some of the doctrines with which he is associated. After an overview of his formative years, papers reflect on his wide-ranging interests in philosophical and related subjects, including law, physics and theology.

Investigates the feasibility of designing Delta-Sigma Analog to Digital Converters for very low supply voltage and low power operation in standard CMOS processes. This book offers an overview of low voltage Switched Capacitor design techniques, such as the use of voltage multipliers, low VtMOST devices and the Switched Opamp Technique.

Contains the proceedings of a symposium held in honour of Jean-Pierre Vigier at York University, Toronto, Canada, in August 1997. The topics of the contributions range from quantum mechanics and its interpretation, to particle physics, electromagnetic theory, and relativity and gravity.

Integrates Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Workflow Management Systems (WFMS), and Transaction Processing (TP) Technologies by presenting analysis of requirements presented by diverse classes of co-operative applications, ranging from cooperative authoring, through design for manufacturing, to interorganizational workflows.

Crystal engineering is an interdisciplinary area that cuts across the traditional subdivisions of chemistry. This title provides a description of the field and offers fresh research ideas that, if pursued, will serve to strengthen the field at the interface between supramolecular chemistry and materials science.

This text contains proceedings of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies Symposium , held at Copenhagen, Denmark, during 4-8 August 1985.

Presents a paradigm for modeling and solving production planning and scheduling problems in industry. This book progresses from initial assumptions about a manufacturing environment, through mathematical models and construction of numerical methods, up to practical solutions.

Transfusion medicine is a better way for the healthy community to help the sick. This book offers to service providers and patients, guidelines concerning when and how it is used.

Presents an overview of the fate of contaminants in the soil environment in the Australasia-Pacific Region; soil management factors used to control contaminant impacts, issues related to sludge and effluent disposals in the soil environment; social impacts of contaminated land, remediation approaches and strategies to manage contaminated land.
