Two well-known and respected editors have assembled an outstanding
group of electrophysiologists/physicians to write a major work
representing the field of electrocardiography as we know it today.
This book contains all the major subject areas within the field of
electrocardiography with significant clinical and basic content to
appeal to the entire electrophysiology community in addition to
educating cardiologists with the latest information. The fact that
Drs. Malik and Camm have edited this work assures a volume of
incredible quality and readability.
Following systematic development of technical aspects and
physiological understanding, and clinical applicability of cardiac
autonomic testing, this book provides a detailed guide to
performing individual autonomic tests in both research and clinical
settings. The book is structured in three parts covering the
physiological background of cardiac autonomic regulations,
description of technology and interpretation of individual
autonomic tests, and applicability of the individual tests under
various clinical circumstances and in defined populations of
patients. The book is intended to serve both research and clinical
cardiologists as well as research and clinical specialists of other
medical fields who use the assessment of cardiac modulations to
investigate the autonomic nervous system.

The role of energy in the modern world goes beyond mere technology
and economics to influence welfare, environment, life quality and,
broadly, civilisation. Since the industrial revolution, energy
conversion technology has been at the forefront of innovation
required to satisfy the needs of mankind. This technology more than
others has always been very dependent on the performance of the
materials used; especially over the last two decades during which
efficiency and environmental concerns have become challenging
objectives. In this context the European Commission has developed
significant collaborative programmes in Europe within the COST
framework, to enhance the state of the art in this technology. The
Li ge Conferences pursue the mission to report on the achievements
of these programmes in the light of progress made elsewhere. The
first four conferences in this series were held in 1978, 1982, 1986
and 1990, and provided the opportunity to present and review the
work of the European Materials Collaborative Programmes COST-50
(gas turbines), COST-505 (steam turbines) and COST- 501 (energy
conversion from fossil fuels). The proceedings of these conferences
were published by Applied Science Publishers (1978) and by D.
ReideIlKluwer Publishing Company (1982, 1986 and 1990). While the
first two Conferences have dealt essentially with high temperature
alloys for gas turbines (COST 50), the third and fourth Conferences
held in 1986 and 1990 were concerned with a broader range of
topics, including the work of the third round of COST-50
(1972-1983), that of COST-50l, which was initiated in 1981 and COST
505 (1983-1990).
