This proceedings contains tutorials presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Design and Implementation of Optimiz­ ation Software (Urbino, Italy, 20 June - 2 July, 1977) organized by the Committee on Algorithms (COAL) of the Mathematical Program­ ming Society. The authors are to be congratulated on their clear expositions plus their prompt cooperation. We were especially fortunate to have had two of the first pioneers in designing mat...

Der Verfasser behandelt die Hauptaxiome der Lehre über die Vegetation, die ihre Kartierung und Einschätzung der dimensionalen Gesetzmässigkeiten der Pflanzen­ decke beinhaltet. Als Ausgangsaxiom wird folgendes anerkannt, dass die Pflanzengesellschaft ein offenes System nach L. van Bertallanffi darstellt. Damit lässt sich ihre dimensio­ nale und funktionelle Untersuchung vereinbaren. Als zweites Axiom dient die Darstellung über die Dimension de...

This liber amicorum honours Professor Jan Tissot van Patot as a scholar, referring in particular to his concern with transport economics. The signi­ ficance of his work grew out of his influence within Netherlands Railways as, with the passage of the years, he dedicated himself increasingly to the vastly wider field of transport economics. I would emphasize, however, that his theoretical knowledge and views in wider contexts have also been of ...

Andrology, a counterpart to gynecology, deals with the study of the male reproductive organs. Clinical andrology has been neglected primarily because of the lack of relevant, accurate laboratory methods for functional analysis, but in the last decade substantial progress has been made in the understanding of male reproductive biology. This progress has resulted from modern tech­ niques and instrumentation in microanatomy, immunology, neurophys...

Heredity, environment, the role of infectious agents, and other influences have been cited within a multiplicity of factors of possible relevance to the problem of neoplasm etiology. In some cases, such as that of retinoblastoma the influence of hereditary factors has been clearly established. The influence of genetic factors in cerebral tumour development has been under discussion since as early as 1896 when Besold reported two sisters suffer...

The assessment of tumour response after treatment is one of the most important challenges in Oncology and the picture is so often complicated by the effects of therapy itself. Clinical assessment is still by far the most important method of assessment at our disposal but there is increasing dependence on investigations of all types as indices of response. This depen­ dence may be misplaced if inappropriate investigations are pursued and we hav...

1. BACKGROUND In the last ten years there has been much popular discus­ sion and also a great scholarly interest in the so-called "alternative lifestyles" (1). ESgecially, since the late 1J60's, a diversity of lifestyles other than the nuclear family began to emerge, according to demographic changes in household compositions during the past decade (US Bureau of Census, 1979, Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek, 1930). One lifestyle, non-marital...

The Workshop series of the "Koningin Wilhelmina Fonds" is a feature of the interest of this Foundation to promote research and education in the field of cancer, aiming to improve prognosis of the cancer patient. For almost a century, surgery has now been the main treatment modality for the cancer patient. During the past 50 years radiation therapy has developed as a second important modality of treatment. However, neither of the two modalities...

It is generally accepted that. fused BZ03 is composed of B0 3 triangles. These triangles are joined togetner randomly, forming l the glass network. I.R. studies and x-ray diffraction studies on pure BZ03 glass indicated clearly that these triangles are joined together forming boroxole groups. These groups are joined together forming the random network. It is also accepted that addition of alkali oxides to boron oxide results in a glassy networ...

This collection offers the complete poems of Stephen Crane (1871 - 1900), as well as essays on him by Joseph Conrad and Willa Cather. One of the best short story writers of all time, Crane was also an important poet who established laconic precision as the dominant style of free verse. His followers included such authors as Carl Sandburg, William Carlos Williams and e.e. cummings. Without any doubt, Crane should be regarded as the father of mo...

Karl Gjellerup (1857 - 1919), a Danish Nobel laureate in literature, is renowned for his novels including "The Learner of German", "The Mill" and "The Pilgrim Kamanita", the latter still being on the school programme in some Buddhist countries. He published his acclaimed novel "Minna" in 1889. It is a love story set in Dresden (Germany). Partly autobiographical, the book recreates some events of Gjellerup's own youth. The Nobel Prize website d...

Consider that you were asked how to ensure human survival. Where would you begin? Conservation of resources jumps to mind. We need to conserve resources in order that economic activities may continue. Alas, this is a false start. Resources are always defined by a given economic system, and only it determines what is and what is not a resource. Therefore, conserving resources implies only the perpetua­ tion of the appropriate economic system. C...

Lo normal cuando vienen extraterrestres a invadir la Tierra es que le digan al primer terrícola que vean aquello de "Llévame ante vuestro líder". Lo que nunca imaginaríamos es que las cosas pudieran suceder como en este relato. Pero, ¿por qué no iba a ser así? Un relato atrevido y diferente a lo habitual. Aquí no hay grandes científicos ni militares sino gente de barrio a la que le gusta el fútbol y salir de cañas, con la novia y los amigos, o...

¿Y si las anomalías temporales fueran posibles? ¿Qué maravillas o que atrocidades se podrían esconder tras un hecho tan insólito? Durante seis cuentos emprenderemos un viaje que nos llevará a parajes misteriosos, afectados de las más extrañas paradojas temporales que hayamos podido imaginar. Pongamos pues el mecanismo en marcha y dirijámonos a esos mundos nacidos en la imaginación y cimentados en la fantasía. Adentrémonos entonces en un univer...

Ethikbasierte Unternehmensführung und organisationales Commitment gelten in Wissenschaft und Praxis als wichtige Faktoren für den Unternehmenserfolg. Unternehmen haben Interesse an Ethik, da diese vielerseits von ihnen eingefordert wird, und an Commitment, da Mitarbeiter mit Commitment sich förderlich für den Unternehmenserfolg verhalten. Ariane Westphal untersucht, ob und auf welche Weise Unternehmen das organisationale Commitment ihrer Mitar...
