Volume 5 of Contemporary Nephrology summarizes major advances in 15
different areas of nephrology. As in previous volumes the different
chapters constitute up- of the discipline contributed by
individuals dates in both basic and clinical aspects with in-depth
expertise in their respective areas. We are grateful to the authors
for their outstanding contributions to this fifth volume. Drs.
Reuss and Cotton review in Chapter 1 new advances in our
understanding of water transport in epithelial tissues responsive
to antidiuretic hormone. In Chap- ters 2 and 3 Dr. Knox and Dr.
Schoolwerth and their associates summarize respec- tively new
information in the areas of renal hemodynamics and electrolyte
excre- tion, and renal metabolism. Chapter 4, written by Drs. Laski
and Kurtzman, updates recent developments in the regulation of
acid-base balance in health and disease. Chapter 5, contributed by
Drs. Sutton and Cameron, provides the reader with a detailed
account of progress in the area of mineral metabolism. In Chapter
6, Dr. Campese examines the contribution of sodium, calcium, and
neurogenic factors in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension.
The immunological aspects of renal disease are clearly discussed by
Dr. Couser in Chapter 7. New developments in this field are
emphasized and should provide the reader with a clear understanding
of the direction in which this field is moving. Drs. Humes and
Messana (Chapter 8) discuss selected areas in which new
developments have occurred in our understand- ing of acute renal
failure and toxic nephropathy.
Optical Metrology for Fluids, Combustion and Solids is the first
practical handbook that presents the assemblage of the techniques
necessary to provide a basic understanding of optical measurement
for fluids, combustion, and solids. The use of light as a
measurement tool has grown over the past twenty years from a
narrowly specialized activity to a mainstay of modern research
today. Until recently, the knowledge that could be extracted from
the light interaction of light with physical objects was limited to
specialized activities. The invention of the laser, the computer
and microelectronics has enabled a measurement revolution such that
virtually every parameter of engineering interest can be measured
using the minimally intrusive properties of light.
The authors of this book's chapters are leaders in this revolution.
They work on the front lines of research in government, industry,
and universities, inventing yet more ways to harness the power of
light for the generation of knowledge.
