Henkin-Keisler models emanate from a modification of the Henkin construction introduced by Keisler to motivate the definition of ultraproducts. Keisler modified the Henkin construction at that point at which new' individual constants are introduced and did so in a way that illuminates a connection between Henkin-Keisler models and ultraproducts. The resulting construction can be viewed both as a specialization of the Henkin construction and as an alternative to the ultraproduct construction. These aspects of the Henkin-Keisler construction are utilized here to present a perspective on...

Nearly 60 papers consider the interconnections between scattering and transport theories and the modeling of nonequilibrium systems generated by electrical discharges, emphasizing the importance of microscopic processes in affecting the bulk properties of plasma. Among the topics are scattering cros

Reviews the current state of research into redox-activated compounds, particularly bioreductive drugs, and their applications in various fields of medicine as both diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Among the topics considered are the oxygen effects of biological processes; the nature and function o

This book constitutes the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop held at Chateau de Bonas (France) from 10-15 July 1990 on the Midbrain Periaqueductal Gray Matter (PAG). The aim of this meeting was to review and integrate our knowledge about the functional, anatomical and neuro chemical organization of the PAG. The PAG has been the subject of many investi gations during the last decade usually on different topics (e.g., pain modulation, defensive and sexual behavior) and generally there has been little interchange between the different research areas. The main purpose of this...

This volume of the series Advances in Risk Analysis consists of papers presented at the 1988 Annual Meeting of the Society for Risk Analysis, which was held October 30 through November 2 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The papers span the gamut of the increasing number of risk assessment topics addressed by the Society since it held its fIrst annual meeting in June 1981, also in Washington DC. Organized to promote interdisciplinary analyses, the Society approaches risks from three broad perspectives: (1) the impact of various risks on the health of the world's populations and on the...

See preceding entry (CIA world factbook). Data was compiled from open Soviet literature, translated, and formatted to imitate the CIA version. Contains data on 249 countries, in the same categories as stated for the CIA version. Disparities in the reported figures on the two discs might be of intere

Proceedings of the May 1991 workshop, held in Crete, Greece, within the program of activities of the NATO Special Program on Chaos, Order, and Patterns. Participants were physicists, biologists, and chemists, theoreticians and experimentalists, exchanging perspectives and data on proton transfer, th

Papers from the symposium held in Cargese, France, July 1991. Until recently, it was believed that symmetries in quantum mechanics should be groups, but it has been shown that one can use a more general algebra in which quantum groups are special cases where associativity is preserved.

The proceedings of an October 1991 workshop in Newcastle, Northern Ireland, serve as an in-depth review of the work to date on the recombination of atomic ions in collisions with both free electrons and with atoms. The 24 papers represent all the major fields working on the subject, and include trea

Proceedings of an International School of Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy course and NATO Advanced Study Institute, held in Erice, Italy, June 1991. The course, addressed primarily to workers in the field of solid-state physics from academia and industry, presented physical models, mathematical fo
