The relatively positive adjustment to not working of the retired men in the study bodes well for those expecting to leave the work force in the next few years. On the other hand, the value placed on work had decreased, attitudes toward retirement had become more positive, and the men were more work than non work oriented.

This book is of interest to structural analysts and research engineers dealing with structures in a random environment. It is also useful as a textbook for a graduate course in random vibration.

This book is a monograph study of Ingarden's investigations into existence. Its aim is to give a clear and formally precise account, as well as a critical evaluation, of his contributions.

Das vorliegende Buch versucht, die Frage nach Ort und Bedeutung des Spiels in Heideggers Denken in neuer Weise zu stellen. Im Gegensatz zu bisherigen Interpretationsansätzen wird der Ursprung des Spielmotivs bereits in Heideggers Frühdenken aufgewiesen und vor dem Hintergrund seiner phänomenologischen Voraussetzungen entfaltet. Davon ausgehend, erscheint das "seinsgeschichtliche" Denken des mittleren Heidegger als ein Versuch, die Metaphysik gerade nicht abzustoßen, sondern sie in das Spiel der geschichtlichen Erscheinungsformen von Sein und Denken mit hineinzunehmen. Beim späten Heidegger ist das Spiel dann vor allem von seiner musikalischen, klanglichen Bedeutungskomponente her verstanden, in der die der Metaphysik eigene Dominanz des Visuellen implizit überwunden wird, ohne dabei die "Grund-sätze der Metaphysik als solche zu negieren.

The contents of this volume are based upon presentations made to the Second European Symposium on Radiopharmacy and Radiopharmaceuticals which was held in St. Catharine's College Cambridge in March 1985.

It is an attempt to establish a critical mass of oncology literature covering virtually all oncology topics, revised frequently to keep the coverage up to date, easily available on a single library shelf or by a single per sonal subscription.

This book brings together the work of scholars who have written for it independent essays in their areas of particular expertise in the general field of income distribution.

This book analyzes the systematic and the methodical role of "The Verstandnisse" in Heidegger's "Existenzialanalyse". At issue is our understanding of the world and how we exist in it.

The observations made by the different sensors of a multi-sensor system are always uncertain, usually partial, occasionally spuri9us or incorrect and often geographically or geometrically imcomparable with other sensor views.

Parsing Efficiency is crucial when building practical natural language systems. This book introduces a context-free parsing algorithm that parses natural language more efficiently than any other existing parsing algorithms in practice.

This text contains a translation and interpretation of Emmanuel Levinas' philosophy, deemed to be one of the most original of modern times, opening other perspectives of understanding and application.

COMPUTER VISION is a field of research that encompasses many objectives. This book takes an important step towards this goal by describing a working computer vision system named SCERPO. A second major goal of computer vision re search is to provide a computational understanding of human vision.

This book has evolved from an interest in formalizing theories of real es tate financing and investment. If sellers are prohibited by statute from transferring existing financing to buyers, they tend to hold properties longer when contract interest rates on loans exceed those prevailing in the market.

This book presents a set of papers from the leading edge of current research on productivity analysis. This is why better understanding of measurement issues and behavior of variables related to productivity can lead more effective policies.

This publication contains a collection of 22 manuscripts by authors invited to write review articles. They are based on lectures presented on the First and Second Training Course in Radiopharmacy and Radiopharmacology. These courses were organized under the auspices of the "Joint Committee on Radiopharmaceuticals" of both European Societies of Nuclear Medicine (ENMS and SNME) and were sponsored by the European Society of Nuclear Medicine (ENMS). Recent developments in radiopharmacy and radiopharmacology have been very complex; they cannot be overlooked by the medical staff in nuclear medical departments. This book has been written to provide access to recent research and to practical daily routine in patients' investigations. It provides a wide-ranging and topical overview of radiopharmacology in­ cluding chapters on basic chemistry and physics, incorporation dosimetry, interference of drugs in radiopharmacokinetics, legal aspects and stable isotope-labelled pharmaceuticals. Style of presentation is not uniform. Par­ tial overlapping concerning the content of papers has not been avoided in order to ensure different views and aspects of the same subject. We hope that the interdisciplinary approach will be stimulating and thought-provok­ ing for the reader. Consequently, this book is designed for specialists work­ ing in nuclear medical centres which involve different disciplines such as pharmacists, radiochemists, physicists, biochemists, biologists, mathemati­ cians, electronic engineers, physicians with different specialities, and tech­ nicians.

This volume is the second in the 'Cancer Treatment and Research' series focussing on basic and clinical tumor immunology. It has a rather different focus or emphasis from that of the first volume, published two years ago. That work (Basic and Clinical Tumor Immunology, R.B. Herberman, ed., Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, 1983) devoted considerable attention to up­ dated summaries in various areas of classical tumor immunology: specific antitumor immunity, the immunologic competence of cancer patietns, char­ acterization of human tumor-associated antigens, the ability to propagate specifically immune T cells in culture in the presence of interleukin 2, and the use of such cells for adoptive immunotherapy of established tumors. of evidence concerning the immune However, it also reviewed the status surveillance hypothesis and pointed out the need to consider non-T cell mediated mechanisms of host resistance. In particular, one chapter sum­ marized information on the role of macrophages in host resistance against tumors. The present volume continues to emphasize one of the major themes of the first volume, innovative approaches to the therapy of cancer. It involves contributions from leading investigators on several primary types of therapeutic interventions related to monoclonal antibodies, the col­ laboration of monoclonal antibodies with macro phages to mediate antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity, lymphokines, tumor vaccines, and natural killer cells. It also has an up-to-date summary of the immunologic aspects of the exciting and promising work being performed on human T cell leukemia virus in the laboratory of Dr. Robert Gallo.

The authors provided us with new strong research papers that should make a lasting contribution to the accounting and information economics research literature, and make us all proud to have put this volume together. The research papers in the volume are in three sections: information evaluation in multi person conte)l:ts;

At the turn of the century gynecology had achieved independence from surgery in most medical schools; Pathology was the basic science of gynecology and gynecologists with a special interest in pathology served as pathologist to the departments of gynecology.
