This text provides the practising engineer with a review of the current techniques and applications of machine control. The control of machines is essential in the manufacturing process in order to produce products with more speed, efficiency and accuracy. The range of machinery dependent upon control by a dedicated computer is very broad, encompassing sheet metal feeding machines, operating at a few cycles per minute to textile machines, some parts of which rotate at a hundred thousand revolutions per minute.

Currently, there are tremendous advances being made in understanding the basic science of both the structure and function of botulinum neurotoxins. This knowledge is opening up opportunities in regard to both therapeutic uses and treatment and protection options for civil and bio-defense applications. This volume fully evaluates the status of neurotoxin research and exploitation with a focus on clinical application. The book is a multi-authored collection of chapters written by the leading authorities responsible for the current scientific and clinical research that is advancing the...
