For chemists, biochemists, physicists and materials scientists, pressure as an experimental variable represents a tool that provides unique information about the microscopic properties of the materials being studied. In addition to its use as a research tool for investigating the energetics, structure, dynamics and kinetics of molecular transformations of materials, pressure is also being used to modify the properties of materials to preserve or improve their properties.
The contributions collected here cover the main areas of high pressure research, including applications in materials...

With original work on marine and terrestrial microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, deep-sea diving, food science, and other industrial applications, this book covers the whole range of current high pressure bioscience. It will be welcomed by all industrial and academic researchers working in this field.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Allgemeine Psychologie, Note: Sehr gut, Wirtschaftsuniversitat Wien (-), Veranstaltung: Wirtschaftspsychologie, 6 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Kommunikation besteht immer aus einer Nachricht, die ein Sender, der etwas mitteilen mochte einem Empfanger mitteilt. Dem Empfanger obliegt es, diese Gebilde zu entschlusseln. Haufig macht der Empfanger davon Gebrauch dem Sender anzuzeigen, wie die Nachricht angekommen ist. Diese Art der Ruckmeldung nennt man auch Feedback. Die Tatsache, da eine Nachricht ein...

We in ophthalmology are fortunate to be able to measure quantitatively many aspects of ocular morphology and visual function. These measurements are either objective (e. g. electroretinography, tonometry, electromyography, visually evoked responses, etc.) or subjective and psychophysical (e. g. visual acuity, visual fields, color vision, etc.). One aspect of corneal physiology and pathology which has so far escaped careful and reliable measurements is corneal sensitivity. Previous attempts have been rather crude and can be compared to measuring intraocular pressure by digital compression....

This monograph, which is the outcome of the ASI on High Pressure Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Materials Science, illustrates new developments in the field of high pressure science. In fact, for chemists, biochemists, and materials scientists, pressure as an experimental variable represents a tool which provides unique information about systems of materials studied. It is interesting to note how the growth of the high pressure field is also reflected in the content of the recent ASI's dealing with this field. The ASI High Pressure Chemistry held in 1977 was followed by the ASI High Pressure...
