Besides the mortality rate the value of an operative procedure is measured against the incidence and the degree of undesirable postoperative sequelae. The monograph tion for the primary surgical procedure by critical confrontation of the postoperative syndromes and provide advice in treating postoperative complaints.

After an introductory chapter which gives the basis principles and includes a brief critique of the technique, the book is divided into three further chapters dealing respec tively with (a) experimental techniques, (b) behaviour of metal atoms in matrices, and (c) results of prep~rative experiments.

KROMPECHER had made a step forwards in the matter of chondrogenesis when he abandoned the shear theory postulated by Roux and held that compression was the only effective stimulus for the forma tion of cartilage. The research concerning the healing of fractures relies partly on the theory of KROMPECHER which was new at that time.

The Advanced Series in Agricultural Sciences is designed to fill a long-felt need for advanced educational and technological books in the agricultural sciences.

The blood basophils lead a shadowy existence in the field of hematology, even now, 100 years after their discovery by PAUL EHRLICH.

The physics of minerals in a broad sense implies the fundamental aspects of understanding mineral matter: the electronic structure of atoms related to their behavior in geochemical processes;

In the comparative physiology of photoreception by the Protista and the invertebrates two aspects are emphasized: (1) the diversity of visual processes in these groups and (2) their bearing upon general mechanisms of photoreception.

This book offers a clear, thorough introduction to Petri nets. The explanations are supported throughout with fully integrated graphical illustrations, with only the analysis and verification presented in a formal manner.

This book offers a theoretical analysis of symmetry-based clustering techniques. It includes extensive real-world applications in data mining, remote sensing imaging, MR brain imaging, gene expression data analysis, and face detection.

This book develops a novel approach to model the non-fickian solute transport in saturated porous media. It presents a multiscale theory with scale independent coefficients and illustrates the outcome with available data at different scales.

This book presents theoretical studies of electronic structure, optical and spectroscopic properties of a number of compounds. It presents new, faster calculation methods for applications in quantum-chemical theory of electronic structures.

This volume covers the basics and applications of thermoelectricity and thermoelectric materials. It presents the theory in sufficient detail to enable researchers to understand their observations and develop improved thermoelectric materials.

This book surveys the theory, design, fabrication and application multilayer integrated film bulk acoustic resonators. Covers use in integrated circuits, optical devices, acoustic resonators, micro-nano manufacturing, multilayer integration, and more.

This award-winning volume analyzes the MIMO channel's maximum high-power performance and answers the fundamental question of feasibility in quality-of-service based optimizations characterized by inelastic traffic that features strict delay constraints.

This book shows how automatic evaluation methods can be applied to Spoken Dialog Systems and integrated in system design. It introduces the MeMo workbench design environment, supporting creation of dialog flows, simulations, summative and formative analysis.

As fractional order calculus attracts interest in the control system community, this book explores the interface between CI techniques and fractional calculus, examining ways that fractional order control systems may be designed or enhanced using CI paradigms.

This book presents a systematic analysis of geometrical situations leading to contact pairs: point-to-surface, surface-to-surface, point-to-curve, curve-to-curve and curve-to-surface, and offers the associated numerical analysis as well as new analytical results.

This book presents new methods for the characterization of vegetable oils, with a focus on olive oil, according to geographical and botanical origin, genetic variety and other issues influencing product quality.

This book provides basic tools to understand relations between plants and soil. It also details methods to interpret x-ray diffraction spectra used to identify clay minerals.

This volume describes the task of developing high critical temperature superconducting quantum interference devices and using them as sensors for biomedical applications, including magnetic immunoassays, magnetoencephalography and MRI.

This book provides an in-depth review of the latest advances in the technology of nanoelectronic devices and their developments over the past decades. It introduces new concepts for the realization of future nanoelectronic devices.

This book offers a view of China and the world in the year 2030. Here, Chinese scholars describe major developments and trends in China and the world at large, anchoring their predictions in a historical and worldwide perspective.

This book explores the formation, characterization and mathematical modeling of aerobic granular sludge, integrating process engineering tools and molecular microbiology to describe significant progress in understanding of bacterial granulation processes.

Integrating the concepts of classical and elementary particle interaction, this volume includes stripped-down model equations adaptable to numerous systems showing particle-like structures, making it a valuable source for researchers and graduate students.

Thus, Wiedemann's discovery, for instance, that the visual cells in each ommatidium of the dipterans have differing fields of vision has revived the question as to what the optical properties of individual visual cells, and the complete ommatidium, might be and how neighboring ommatidia interact.

This book surveys recent developments in plasmonic nanosensor design, covering such discoveries as the optimal shape for plasmonic nanoparticles used for sensing, experimental methods and topics ranging from nanoparticle growth to membrane protein attachment.
