The Netherlands Interuniversity Demographic Institute (N.I.D.I.- established in 1970 - is mainly concerned with research into the factors which, either directly or indirectly, influence demographic development in the Netherlands.

(In German: Betriebswirtschaftslehre.) To avoid duplication a number of subjects such as the theory of market structures and descriptive data concerning changes in the patterns of consumer expenditures and distribution have been omitted.

This study on "Exercise testing and training in coronary heart disease" is a remarkable compilation of numerous research studies, primarily from labora tories in Europe and the United States over the last decade or more.

Present day cardiology is in great need of non invasive, non toxic, and inexpensive devices which permit the delineation and visualization of normal and abnormal intracardiac structures, the calculation of intra cardiac volumes and study of contractility of the cardiac muscle.

Parents of children born with mental or physical handicaps, tend to face the physician with questions about the origin of the abnormality concerned and the chance of having another child with the same condition.

The interplay between the careful analysis of clinical electrocardiograms and results from animal experiments have in the past 60 years resulted in provo cative and brill ant concepts on the mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias in man.

In man and some of the apes, the thumb has the function of a contra finger. The grasp function of the hand is dependent on the oppositional capacity and adductive power of the thumb, and is severely limited by a paralysis or dysfunction of the intrinsic thumb muscles.

This volume contains the texts of the lectures presented at the scientific meetings of 9 May 1970 and 23 January 1971 of the Systeemgroep Nederland. This society was founded on 9 May 1970 to promote interdisciplinary scientific activity on basis of a systems approach. It has its seat in Utrecht. Officers for the year 1971: President: A. F. G. Hanken, Technische Hogeschool Twente, Enschede. Secretary: G. de Zeeuw, Department of Psychology, University of Amsterdam. Treasurer: R. F. Geyer, Foundation for Interuniversitary Social Research. SISWO, Amsterdam. All information about the society can be obtained from the Secretary. Although this volume is entirely devoted to the lectures of the scientific meetings, future issues, to be collected into yearly volumes, are open to individ­ ual contributors. For details cf. p.

The original papers which appear in this volume were initially presented in a series of sessions of the Ad Hoc Group on Alienation Theory and Research at the 1974 World Congress of Sociology in Toronto, Canada.

This led Philippe Naert, now about four years ago, to write a concept text of a few hundred pages on the subject of how to build imple men table marketing models, that is, models that can and will be used.

In taking advantage of the larger market created by the elimination of national frontiers as barriers to trade, large firms playa leading role - firms from within the European Community and from outside.

In most Keynesian-type macroeconomic models the financial sector is modelled in terms of money demand, money supply and money market equilibrium. Market equations for existing physical capital, or shares in capital, are absent from these models on the tacit assumption that physical capital cannot be traded and, consequently, has no market price.

Would a better understanding of the anatomy and improvement of the method make it possible to reduce the percentage of failures sufficiently to earn selective arteriography of bronchial and intercostal arteries a place among the accepted methods of selective arteriographic investigation?

We spent, Bernard and I, many a well-filled hour in discussing the technicalities of the exercise: the consumption and investment functions, with their estimation problems, the treatment of the transportation sector, problems in geometric programming, et de quibusdam aliis.

This book details a unique training evaluation approach developed by David J. Basarab, formerly Manager of Educational Measurement at NCR and currently Manager of Evaluation at Motorola University, which has enabled these corporations to successfully evaluate their corporate training programs. This allows corporations to determine whether money spent on training is an investment or an expense. This evaluation approach is also significant in determining either the effectiveness of or the opportunities to improve corporate training. In this book the authors provide the commercial training industry with a step-by-step approach to use when evaluating training programs. The Training Evaluation Process can be applied generically to evaluate training programs across all corporate environments.

The subject index was not contained in the Russian original and the authors' index represents an extension of the original list of references. The transliteration problem has been overcome by printing the names of Russian authors and journals also in Russian type.

Whoever wants to understand the genesis of modern Science has to follow three lines of development, all starting in antiquity, which were brought together in the work of ISAAC NEWTON, namely 1. Ancient Mathematics => DESCARTES 2. Ancient Astronomy => COPERNICUS : ~~~~ I=> NEWTON 3. Ancient Mechanics => GALILEO => HUYGENS In Science Awakening I (Dutch edition 1950, first Eng1ish edition 1954, second 1961, first German edition 1956, second 1965) I have followed the first 1ine, giving an outline of the development of Mathematics in Egypt, Babylonia, and Greece. Volume II, dealing with Egyptian and Baby1onian Astronomy first appeared in German under the title 'Die Anfänge der Astronomie' (Noordhoff, Groningen 1965 and Birkhäu­ ser, Basel 1968). The volume was written in collaboration with PETER HUBER (Swiss Federal School of Technology, Zürich). HUBER has written considerable parts of Chap­ ters 3 and 4, in particular all transcriptions of cuneiform texts in these chapters. I also had much help from ERNST WEIDNER (Graz), MARTIN VERMASEREN (Amsterdam), JOSEF JANSEN (Leiden) and MANU LEUMANN (Zürich).
