First published in 1981, British Regional Development Since World
War I presents a comprehensive and balanced introduction to the
problems of regional development in Britain. Since World War I it
has been possible to talk of Britain as two nations, a prosperous
South including the Midlands, and a poor North. Christopher Law
examines the nature and causes of this division, including impact
of industrial structure, London’s role as capital in the spatial
economy, and the influence of better environments on development.
This valuable study will be an essential read for anyone interested
in any aspect of regional development and development studies in
the last ninety years.
Materials scientists, silicon technologists and TCAD researchers
come together in this book to share experimental results and
physical models, discuss achievements and challenges, and identify
key issues for future research in this field. The volume focuses on
many aspects related to doping of semiconductors (Si, SiGe and Ge)
for device fabrication, and explores areas for single-gate as well
as multi-gate devices with planar and vertical architectures.
Surface properties, coverage, bonding saturation and passivation,
and annealing ambient are also discussed.
Originally published in 1988. Inner city problems in advanced
countries are being exacerbated by the decentralisation of economic
activities and higher income groups. Only offices and tourism offer
some prospects of growth, but these vary in their potential from
one city to another. This book assesses changes in the structure of
urban areas, concentrating on the process of decentralisation and
the consequences for the inner city and city centre. It examines
and evaluates policies and makes suggestions for the future
management of the city.

Originally published in 1991, this book examines the spatial
implications of the changes to the automobile industry at world,
national and local levels. The volume brings together the work of
North American, European and Japanese geographers, economists and
sociologists, and includes perspectives from the components
industry, the shop floor experience and local economic policy
making.

Forging Alberta's Constitutional Framework explores the nature and
development of Alberta's constitution by examining a number of
celebrated cases and themes that have shaped and altered legal,
social, economic, political, and cultural rights and
responsibilities within Alberta and Canada. Contributors from
across Canada include historians, lawyers, political scientists,
and politicians, writing on themes that illustrate how Alberta's
constitution is the product of decades, even centuries, of contest,
debate, division, and negotiation. Hardback edition also available.
This research focuses on how to reengineer Cobol legacy systems
into object-oriented systems using Sward's Parameter Based Object
Identification (PBOI) methodology. The method is based on relating
categories of imperative subprograms to classes written in
object-oriented language based on how parameters are handled and
shared among them. The input language of PBOI is a canonical form
called the generic imperative model (GIM), which is an abstract
syntax tree (AST) representation of a simple imperative programming
language. The output is another AST, the generic object model
(GOM), a generic object oriented language. Conventional languages
must be translated into the GIM to use PBOI. The first step in this
research is to analyze and classify Cobol constructs. The second
step is to develop Refine programs to perform the translation of
Cobol programs into the GIM. The third step is to use the PBOI
prototype system to transform the imperative model in the GIM into
the GOM. The final step is to perform a validation of the objects
extracted, analyze the system functionally, and evaluate the PBOI
methodology in terms of the case study.
The largest of all seals, elephant seals rank among the most
impressive of marine mammals. They are renowned for their
spectacular recovery from near-extinction at the end of the
nineteenth century when seal hunters nearly eliminated the entire
northern species. No other vertebrate has come so close to
extinction and made such a complete recovery. The physiological
extremes that elephant seals can tolerate are also remarkable:
females fast for a month while lactating, and the largest breeding
males fast for over one hundred days during the breeding seasons,
at which times both sexes lose forty percent of their body weight.
Elephant seals dive constantly during their long foraging
migrations, spending more time under water than most whales and
diving deeper and longer than any other marine mammal. This first
book-length discussion of elephant seals brings together worldwide
expertise from scientists who describe and debate recent research,
including the history and status of various populations, their
life-history tactics, and other findings obtained with the help of
modern microcomputer diving instruments attached to free-ranging
seals. Essential for all marine mammalogists for its information
and its methodological innovations, Elephant Seals will also
illuminate current debates about species extinctions and possible
means of preventing them. This title is part of UC Press's Voices
Revived program, which commemorates University of California
Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and
give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to
1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship
accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title
was originally published in 1994.

This book is a comprehensive volume dedicated to dermal absorption
and decontamination. Given risks including chemical warfare and
accidents with toxic industrial chemicals, studies involving dermal
absorption and decontamination are of the utmost importance. Each
chapter consists of a systematic review on an important dermal
absorption and/or decontamination topic. Chapters address key
issues such as the general acceptance of water/ soap and water as
the gold standard of dermal decontamination despite the fact that
it commonly provides incomplete decontamination and may even result
in a "wash-in effect" (an increased penetration of contaminant).
Decontamination with other substances (e.g. RSDL) is explored, and
factors that affect dermal penetration (e.g. anatomical variation)
are summarized. All systematic reviews are comprehensive and
up-to-date. Dermal Absorption and Decontamination will be useful
for many fields and disciplines. Firstly, information on dermal
decontamination may be used by governments for military and
national defense purposes in the event of chemical warfare.
Additionally, this information would be of use to many production
companies, whose employees are at risk of an accident with toxic
industrial chemicals. Topics covered in the book will also be of
use to pharmaceutical companies, especially those exploring
transdermal delivery of drugs and is of great relevance to those in
the medical field, particularly dermatologists.
