The symposium drew about 40 participants from 13 countries. The 25 papers recording the meeting include discussions of classical versus quantum groups as symmetries of quantized systems, multichannel dynamic symmetry, a symmetry-adapted algebraic approach to molecular spectroscopy, formal languages

Contains 10 lengthy papers from a July 1996 meeting, on the status of precision tests of the standard model, challenges of the LHC, statistical issues in data analysis, muon-muon and other high energy colliders, electroweak and top physics at Haldron Colliders, advancements in tracking chambers, the

Details the brain damage that can result from high ammonia levels in the blood because of a damaged liver, and both traditional and proposed new methods for mitigating it, including nutritional approaches. The 12 papers are the lectures presented at a summer course in El Escorial, Spain, August 1992

A critical analysis of the existing rating scales and techniques for estimating the severity of epilepsy and its impact on the quality of life, identifying which ones are valid to use now, and which require further development. The topics include statistical aspects of measuring clinical care, seizu

Scintigraphic imaging with radiolabeled blood elements has continued to be a useful diagnostic modality. The major thrust of recent investigation has been in simplifying labeling techniques and developing new agents that will label blood elements selectively in vitro, as addressed in these proceedin
