Chronobiology & Chronomedicine- Basic Research and Applications
The time structure of living systems, which rules the autonomous temporal order of organisms as well as their coherence with the outer environment, has aroused considerable attention in biology and medicine since 1937, when a few European scientists gathered to establish this new field of research. This volume contains the Proceedings of the 2nd Annual Meeting of the European Society for Chronobiology, held in Marburg in 1986. It mirrors the great advances of chronobiology and chronomedicine in theory and practice up to the present. Distinguished scientists from European and other countries report on recent results in basic research and medical applications.

Radiation chemistry. From basics to applications in material and life sciences
This book gives a progress report on the many and original contributions of radiation chemistry to the fundamental knowledge of the vast domain of chemical reactions and its applications. Radiation chemistry techniques indeed make it possible to elucidate detailed physicochemical mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry (including in space) and in biochemistry. Moreover, this comprehension is applied in materials science to precisely control syntheses by radiation, such as radiopolymerisation, radiografting, specific treatment of surfaces (textiles, paintings, inks, etc.), synthesis of complex nanomaterials, degradation of environmental pollutants and radioresistance of materials for nuclear reactors. In life sciences, the study of the effects of radiation on biomacromolecules (DNA, proteins, lipids) not only permits the comprehension of normal or pathological biological mechanisms, but also the improvement of our health. In particular, many advances in cancer radiotherapy, in the radioprotection of nuclear workers and the general population, as well as in the treatment of diseases and the radiosterilization of drugs, could be obtained thanks to this research. Abundantly illustrated and written in English by top international specialists who have taken care to render the subjects accessible, this work will greatly interest those curious about a scientific field that is new to them and students attracted by the original and multidisciplinary aspects of the field. At a time when radiation chemistry research is experiencing spectacular development in numerous countries, this book will attract many newcomers to the field.

Policiers
Basic instinct
L'inspecteur Nick Curran, de la police de San Francisco, enquête sur le meurtre de l'ancien chanteur de rock Johnny Boz, frappé de 31 coups de pic à glace par une inconnue avec laquelle il faisait l'amour. Amateur de plaisirs corsés, la star fréquentait une jeune, riche et brillante romancière, Catherine Tramell, auteur d'un polar à succès consacré à un meurtre identique.
Nick apprend bientôt que les parents de Catherine - dont elle a hérité de plus de cent millions de dollars - sont morts dans un "accident" suspect, décrit dans un autre de ses livres, et que son professeur de psychologie à l'université a été assassiné dix ans plus tôt à coups de pic à glace...
Fasciné par ce déluge de violences, le policier se consacre à prouver la culpabilité de l'insolente et superbe romancière. Mais Catherine n'a rien laissé au hasard. Elle semble déjà tout connaître de Nick : le suicide de sa femme, les bavures dont il s'est rendu coupable, ses problèmes de drogue et d'alcool. Exaspérant les désirs de Nick, multipliant les avances, elle entraîne le policier dans un vertigineux dédale d'excès et de plaisirs...

Research into Distance Education / Fernlehre und Fernlehrforschung
Distance education has a long tradition. It has asserted itself all over the world and its effectiveness in bridging geographical distance between teachers and learners and in multiplying the scarce teaching resources universally is recognised. The movement towards European integration and international efforts for developing worldwide education will give even greater importance to distance education. This means that distance-education research will also gain increased importance - if it manages to bring into accord its own theoretical demands with those made by practice. The philosophical problem of the link between theory and practice lends a special political status to distance-education research.Fernunterricht und Fernlehre haben eine lange Tradition. Sie haben sich weltweit durchgesetzt, ihre Wirksamkeit zur Überbrückung räumlicher Distanzen zwischen Lehrenden und Lernenden und zur Vervielfältigung knapper Lehrkapazitäten ist unbestritten. Die Integrationsbewegungen in Europa und die internationalen Bemühungen zur weltweiten Entwicklung des Bildungswesens werden die Bedeutung von Fernlehre, Fernunterricht und Fernstudium noch steigen lassen. Dementsprechend wird auch die Bedeutung der Fernlehrforschung weiter zunehmen, sofern es ihr gelingt, ihre eigenen theoretischen Ansprüche mit den Anforderungen der Praxis in Einklang zu bringen. Die philosophische Frage nach der Verbindung zwischen Theorie und Praxis verleiht der Fernlehrforschung einen besonderen politischen Stellenwert.

Research methods. Fifth Edition, avec 1 CD-ROM
Research Methods: A Process of Inquiry explores the entire range of research methodologies in psychology, using a programmatic approach to introduce topics and build on earlier presentations to increase student understanding. The authors emphasize research concepts, rather than simply presenting cookbook-like strategies, to help students develop an understanding of scientific research. Review exercises at the end of each chapter (with answers to select exercises in an appendix) provide students with examples for self-review. Expanded treatment of research ethics gives students an early introduction to considerations vital in research design, and involves them in later discussions of the ethics of human and animal research. A unique decision-tree flowchart takes students step-by-step through the characteristics of any basic research design to the choice of appropriate statistical procedures and allows instructors to pick statistical procedures based on already-learned course material. Every copy of the text comes packaged with a free student tutorial CD-ROM. This free CD is an integrated package of pedagogical features in a cross-platform format. It includes an Interactive Study Guide, a Lab Manual, and tutorials on statistical analysis, library research, and APA writing style. Coverage of advanced topics render this a resource for future use.

Ultrasonography and reproduction in swine. Principles and practical applications
Ouvrage en anglais Ultrasonography is a method used to examine the genital tract, without causing any trauma to the animal, and to characterize the animal's reproductive state. This book is the first compilation of the techniques used to examine sows and the interpretation of the ultrasonographic images. The principles of ultrasonography, artifacts, a description of the reproductive system and its topography form the basis for the subsequent examination of the different physiological (oestrous cycle, gestation and postpartum) and pathological (cystic follicles, cystitis, etc.) situations. The final section deals with the diagnosis of gestation ; the factors which determine the accuracy of this test and the advantages for breeders are presented. Many illustrations and annotated drawings help the reader clearly understand these techniques ; a summary at the end of each chapter highlights the essential points. This book is intended for all those, teachers, professionals, technicians and breeders, who would like to learn about this method, enhance their skills, and consider other applications of ultrasonography in sows. Cet ouvrage regroupe les connaissances nécessaires pour réaliser l'exploration fonctionnelle de la sphère génitale chez la truie par échographie d'ultrasons et pour interpréter les images.

Ecrit en 1852, Basil est, sous la crinoline des robes victoriennes, le plus sexué des romans de Collins : un jeune homme innocent, introverti et issu de l'aristocratie anglaise s'engage dans un mariage qui ne tarde pas à se révéler le pire des traquenards. Quelle idée de s'unir par amour à la première venue ? Pourquoi devenir à ce point aveugle et sourd dès qu'une femme vous ensorcelle de merveilleuses promesses inconvenantes ? ! Sans pitié pour son lecteur, Collins ne lui fait guère de cadeau et puise dans ses observations quotidiennes pour raconter cette étonnante histoire.

Health Research in Developing Countries
The health of the people in the developing world is a major concern of Tropical Medical Societies of the temperate zones. Tropical medicine as an applied science has been dealing mainly with "tropical diseases." But health and diseases have many dimensions, some of which so far have not found sufficient attention of the scientific world, e.g. planning of adequate health care, medical-anthropological and socio-cultural factors operating between a health care system and the populations to be served, or the very basic problem of nutrition and its interaction with health and development. Therefore, it was felt that European tropical societies should once join forces and organize a meeting for the discussion of particularly those issues. The topics were : Health care utilization, coverage and cost of primary care, medical pluralism and concepts of diseases in traditional societies, which all are linked at the level of the provider of primary care and his clientel. Concepts of nutrition particularly during child bearing are the root of many health problems and interact with certain diarroeal and other infectious diseases.

Third World Tourism Research 1950-1984
Since the early fifties tourism to developing countries has dramatically increased and in many a developing country it is now a sector of vital importance. This increase has been reflected in an equally impressive rate of growth in scholarly output. Despite this, there are as yet no indexed guides providing in a single volume easy access to the rapidly expanding body of knowledge. This bibliography seeks to fill the gap. It covers a period of 35 years and comprises more than 2000 titles in English, French, German and Dutch, on tourism in the Third World and in richer countries such as Greece, Yugoslavia, Portugal and Spain. The titles are chronologically arranged according to the year of publication, and for each year in alphabetical order. To assist readers the titles are catalogued by three indexes : an author and editor index, a geographical index and a subject index.

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY IN CONTEMPORARY JAPAN
More than ever before Japan is committed to becoming a science and technology-oriented nation. With the challenge of the Asian economic crisis in the late 1 990s, there is pressure on the Japanese economy to change. Japan continues to turn to science and technology to safeguard its future, but there is more than one path to follow. A team of three leading scholars in the field explore the dynamic relationship between science, technology and Japanese society, examining how it has contributed to economic growth and the well-being of the Japanese people. They ask if there is anything distinctively Japanese about Japanese science, in terms of both its development and application.
This book presents a synthesis of recent debates by juxtaposing competing views about the role and direction of science, technology and medical care in Japan. Much of the book looks at government policy, the role of the private sector, and the response of concerned citizens. Other topics discussed include computers and communication, quality control and the automobile industry, the aerospace industry, the environment, consumer electronics, changes in medical care, and the role of gender.
Part I explores the features of the Japanese model of research and development. It differentiates between basic and applied research and considers the question of cooperation versus competition in national R&D projects. Part 2 focuses on the relevance of science and technology to economic growth, and Part 3 examines the impact of globalisation on the flow of science and technology in and out of Japan. Part 4 critiques the concept of 'national interest', arguing that supposed national goals are often determined by powerful institutional or corporate groups with particular vested interests.
This book is an ideal introductory text for students in the sociology of science and technology, the history and philosophy of science, and Japanese studies. Up-to-date research and contemporary case studies make this an invaluable resource for readers interested in the nature of science and technology in the twenty-first century.

FIVE LECTURES ON SUPERSYMMETRY
Since physicists introduced supersymmetry in the mid 1970s, there have been great advances in the understanding of supersymmetric quantum field theories and string theories. These advances have had important mathematical consequences as well.
The lectures featured in this book treat fundamental concepts necessary for understanding the physics behind these mathematical applications. Freed approaches the topic with the assumption that the basic notions of supersymmetric field theory are unfamiliar to most mathematicians. He presents the material intending to impart a firm grounding in the elementary ideas.
The first half of the book offers expository introductions to superalgebras, supermanifolds, classical field theory, free quantum theories, and super Poincaré groups. The second half covers specific models and describes some of their geometric features. The over-all aim is to explain the classical supersymmetric field that are basic for applications in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, thereby providing readers with sufficient background to explore the quantum ideas.
