From a symposium held near Montreal in September, probably of 1994 (rather than the 1989 stated), two dozen papers share information and insights on neuroendocrine factors in ulcer pathogenesis, brain-gut interactions, and novel therapeutic approaches. The topics include leukotrienes in human and ex

Proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in September 1993 in Italy. Papers examine fetal development and brain abnormalities, childhood risk factors for adult schizophrenia, and findings on fetal viral infection and antibody exposure and links to adult schizophrenia.

Proceedings from the second annual symposium on the above-titled topic held in June 1994 in Palm Beach, Florida Papers address the direct effects of drugs of abuse on various components of the immune system, as well as those mediated indirectly by the central nervous system and the neuroendocrine sy

Assembles recent research, presented at a July 1994 international symposium in Paris, on basic and clinical aspects of T-cell activation/apoptosis in HIV infection and their implications for immunotherapy. Sections on T-cell/macrophage activation and HIV infection, apoptosis and viropathogenesis of

Proceedings of the October 1994 symposium at Sansum Medical Research Foundation in Santa Barbara, CA, focus on the use of fetal islet tissue in controlling diabetes and repairing islets that have been damaged by autoimmune disease. Papers detail research on fetal islet growth, differentiation, immun

A summary of the proceedings of the Third Jenner International Glycoimmunology Meeting, held at Il Ciocco, Tuscany in October 1994, under the auspices of EUROCARB, the European Community Concerted Action for Arthritis and Carbohydrate Research. In 31 papers, leading academic and commercial researche

In the two years before the workshop a number of revolutionary discoveries were made relative to the actions of the pineal hormone melatonin: the Xenopus melatonin receptor was cloned, melatonin was demonstrated to be a potent antioxidant, the significance of melatonin receptors at the level of pars

Comprises 24 contributions reflecting important themes in macromolecular engineering which were presented at the APME 1995 conference. Some topics include group transfer polymerization and its relationship to other living systems; the constant copolymer composition technique and its application for

Within the framework of comparing normal and leukemic hematopoiesis, considers the genetic basis of the regulation of hematopoiesis and its molecular mechanisms: the function of such genes as ALL1, RAS, Abl, PML, and Cyclin D; the mechanisms of transcriptional control; the pathways of signal transdu

A survey covering three decades of parallel processors including machines built in academia and research labs as well as in industry. The main body of the text focuses on the correlations between the categories of parallel computers. Each machine is classified according to eight categories, and ther
