Two dozen papers present theories on the molecular and genetic mechanisms responsible for the development of glucose intolerance in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. They cover the regulation of insulin secretion; insulin, insulin receptors, and glucose transporters; insulin action; gluconeog

Investigators from the fields of molecular ion recombination research, atomic and molecular theory and experiment, plasma physics, astrochemistry, and aeronomy, exchange ideas about dissociative recombination, which is of interest in studying interstellar clouds and atmospheres, the development of g

Papers presented at the 1991 meeting of the International Society for Arterial Chemoreception, held in Chieti, Italy. This field of research, which encompasses diverse biological and medical areas, examines the critical function and mechanisms of O 2 and pH/PCO 2 sensitive cells in the body. The vol

Proceedings of an international symposium held in Buffalo, N.Y., September 1992. With the major diseases of focus being advanced and adjuvant colorectal cancer, head and neck cancer, and breast cancers, the volume is divided into sections devoted to fluoropyrimidine metabolism and mechanism of actio

The proceedings of the First International Conference on Local Area Network Interconnection, October 1993, in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, addressing a wide range of technical challenges and reviews of the industry's status. The 22 papers include discussions on such topics as a superposit

Proceedings of a workshop held in Predeal, Romania, in August and September 1992. Papers are divided into three sections: nuclear collisions and structure, atomic collisions, and new phenomena at high energy collisions. Topics include a description of heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies, f

A dozen papers from a June-to-July 1993 meeting in Pacific Grove, California summarize the latest advances by biochemists and molecular biologists in modifying the patterns of secondary metabolisms in plants, and the application of the resulting metabolites in such areas as food, pigments, pharmaceu

The proceedings of the August-September 1993 NATO Advanced Study Institute comprise lectures and contributions on topics in cluster radioactivity, fission and fusion, the production of very heavy elements, nuclear structure described with microscopic and collective models, weak interaction and doubl

In 1995, 25 years after the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) entered into force, the parties to the NPT will meet in New York to consider its extension. The essays in this volume address questions concerning the future of the NPT from differing points of view, and the diverse
