This volume combines the proceedings of the 1987 SEI Conference on
Software Engineering Education, held in Monroeville, Pennsylvania
on April 30 and May 1, 1987, with the set of papers that formed the
basis for that conference. The conference was sponsored by the
Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie-Mellon University.
SEI is a federally-funded research and development center
established by the United States Department of Defense to improve
the state of software technology. The Education Division of SEI is
charged with improving the state of software engineering education.
This is the third volume on software engineering education to be
pub lished by Springer-Verlag. The first (Software Engineering
Education: Needs and Objectives, edited by Tony Wasserman and Peter
Freeman) was published in 1976. That volume documented a workshop
in which educa tors and industrialists explored needs and
objectives in software engineering education. The second volume
(Software Engineering Education: The Educational Needs of the
Software Community, edited by Norm Gibbs and Richard Fairley) was
published in 1986. The 1986 volume contained the proceedings of a
limited attendance workshop held at SEI and sponsored by SEI and
Wang Institute. In contrast to the 1986 Workshop, which was limited
in attendance to 35 participants, the 1987 Conference attracted
approximately 180 participants."
Antonio Carlos Jobim has been called the greatest of all
contemporary Brazilian songwriters. He wrote both popular and
serious music and was a gifted piano, guitar and flute player. One
of the key figures in the creation of the bossa nova style, Jobim's
music made a lasting impression worldwide, and many of his songs
are now standards of the popular music repertoire. In The Music of
Antonio Carlos Jobim, one of the first extensive musicological
analyses of the Brazilian composer, Peter Freeman examines the
music, philosophy and circumstances surrounding the creation of
Jobim's popular songs, instrumental compositions and symphonic
works. Freeman attempts to elucidate not only the many musical
influences that formed Jobim's musical output, but also the
stylistic peculiarities that were as much the product of a gifted
composer as the rich musical environment and heritage that
surrounded him.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a crucial role in the
maintenance of homeostasis. From this aspect, a thorough knowledge
of the ANS is important for understanding studying the most
visceral functions control. ANS helps to control cardiovascular
parameters blood pressure and heart rate, baroreflex function,
respiratory functioning, gastrointestinal motility,
gastrointestinal secretion, sweating, urinary bladder emptying,
body temperature, stress reactions, and many other activities, some
of which are controlled almost entirely and some only partially by
the autonomic nervous system. This book discusses neurological
perspectives on autonomic dysfunctions. The first chapter begins
with a review of the ANS, from non-invasive testing to clinical
perspectives. The following chapters examine diabetic gastroparesis
and maternal and fetal heart rate variability in pre-eclamptic
patients.

The true story of Derek Bentley (Christopher Eccleston), hanged,
aged 19, in the 1950s after a controversial decision holding him
responsible for the murder of a police officer. Despite a history
of mental illness, and with the court accepting that he did not
actually pull the trigger, Bentley was still sentenced to death -
on the basis that his ambiguous cry of 'let him have it!' caused
his young accomplice to fire the fatal shot. The release of this
film focused attention on the case once more, and Bentley
eventually received a posthumous pardon.
