This text contains the proceedings of the international and interdisciplinary BOSS offshore engineering conferences held every three years. They focus on the technology for the design, construction and installation of stationary man-made structures on, in or under the sea. This involves inter alia waves, currents, fluid loading, statics and dynamics of structures, material behaviour, soil mechanics, foundation engineering and the interactions between them. The text contains 80 technical papers in technical sessions which are divided into four categores: geotechnics, hydrodynamics, structures, and miscellaneous. These catergories form the basis for the three parts of the proceedings, which further include two of the three remaining invited plenary presentations.

"Edited by Howard S. Friedman of the University of California/Riverside (called "the most cited psychologist" by the Social Science Citation Index), this work will be informative and accessible to college students and interested adults. In addition to discussing mental disorders, treatments, and personality attributes, articles focus an such subjects as burnout, caffeine, and commuting and mental health. Each article is formatted clearly with an outline describing its content and a short glossary to explain terminology. A complete table of contents for all volumes in the front of each, bibliographies for further reading at the end of every article, and an extensive index aid use".--"Outstanding Reference Sources : the 1999 Selection of New Titles", American Libraries, May 1999.

This essential book contains material presented at a September 1990 meeting organized by the Commission for Bioindicators, International Union for Biological Sciences.**A key role of the Commission for Bioindicators (IUBS) is to promote the use of bioindicators in environmental management. This means encouraging the transfer of ideas regarding potential bioindicators, and originating in laboratories, into the harsher realities of field environmental monitoring. Although the concept of biomonitoring is ancient, its application to current monitoring problems is relatively slow to develop.**In a bid to rectify this problem, this invaluable book brings together and discusses approaches developed around the world. It will provide both environmental administrators and research scientists with a valuable sense of proportion of the state of the art in their particular field. Key Features* Bioindicators and Environmental Management is organized into four sections* Bioindicators, industry, and administration* Biomonitoring of the Chernobyl accident* Monitoring long-term/large-scale environmental trends* Basic research in biomonitoring

This informative treatise offers a concise collection of existing, expert data summarizing the composition of milk. The Handbook of Milk Composition summarizes current information on all aspects of human and bovine milk, including: sampling, storage, composition, as well as specific chapters on major and minor components such as protein, carbohydrates, lipids, electrolytes, minerals, vitamins and hormones. The book also features comprehensive coverage of compartmentation, host-defense components, factors affecting composition, composition of commercial formulas, and contaminants. * Reliable data on the composition of human and bovine milks. * Discusses the many factors affecting composition. * Composition tables make up 25-30% of the total book. * Problems concerning sampling and analysis are described. * Should appeal equally to industry and academia. * Also of interest to developing countries in need of information on infant nutrition and agricultural development

Because of its marked capacity to regenerate and the ability of chemical carcinogens and viruses to ready transform hepatocytes, the liver has been used extensively as a model for investigating the molecular mechanisms of cellular proliferation and carcinogenesis. Recently, striking advances have occured in the understanding of hepatocyte growth regulation and the manner in which chemical agents and viruses alter these normal growth regulatory pathways in liver carcinogenesis. This explosion of information has occured in a multitude of researh disciplines. This book brings together current findings in a coherent manner, from a molecular point of view. Three sections cover in detail the areas of liver regeneration, liver carcinogenesis, and liver tumor therapy. The contributors are pioneers and leaders in this field. * Logical organization of material in three detailed and comprehensive sections: liver regeneration, liver carcinogenesis, and liver tumor treatment* Contributors are pioneers and leaders in the field* There are currently no books on this subject on the market* Research focus is at the molecular level
