The NATO Special Programme Panel on Condensed Systems of Low
Dimensionality began its work in 1985 at a time of considerable
activity in the field. The Panel has since funded many Advanced
Research Workshops, Advanced Study Institutes, Cooperative Research
Grants and Research Visits across the breadth of its remit, which
stretches from self-organizing organic molecules to semiconductor
structures having two, one and zero dimensions. The funded
activities, especially the workshops, have allowed researchers from
within NATO countries to exchange ideas and work together at a
period of development of the field when such interactions are most
valuable. Such timely support has undoubtedly assisted the
development of national programs, particularly in the countries of
the alliance wishing to strengthen their science base. A closing
Workshop to mark the end of the Panel's activities was organized in
Marmaris, Turkey from April 23-27, 1990, with the same title as the
Panel: Condensed systems of Low Dimensionality. This volume
contains papers presented at that meeting, which sought to bring
together chemists, physicists and engineers from across the
spectrum of the Panel's activities to discuss topics of current
interest in their special fields and to exchange ideas about the
effects of low dimensionality. As the following pages show, this is
a topic of extraordinary interest and challenge which produces
entirely new scientific phenomena, and at the same time offers the
possibility of novel technological applications.
Years ago when we were asked to write a book on the present-day
knowledge of the molecular biology of poliovirus, we did not expect
that such an apparently simple task could involve so much time and
effort. Our writing was hampered by the fact that both of us are
full time "workers," so that this monograph is mainly a spare time
expedience. The main attention of this book focuses on a detailed
review of the molecular biology of poliovirus and especially on the
advances of the last decade; medical and environmental aspects are
only briefly mentioned. Observations from older studies are
considered in view of more recent information. Some of the older ob
servations provided fundamental insights and paved the way for
present day research; too often such data has been neglected or
independently rediscovered. Today, poliovirus research has again
attracted considerable interest. High points gained within the last
few years were the elucidation of the complete nucleotide sequences
of the RNAs of the three poliovinls serotypes and the corresponding
vaccine strains, the demonstration of genome evolution during
transmission of poliovirus in an epidemic, further characterization
of the antigenic sites on the virus particle and of the antigenic
drift, characterization of alternate conforma tional states of the
virion capsid, the development of monoclonal antibodies against
some of the virus proteins, observations on the role of the plasma
membrane, cytoskeleton, and cytoplasmic membranes as mediators in
the virus induced redirection of the synthetic machinery of the
host cell, and characteriza"

How should pragmatists respond to and contribute to the
resolution of one of America s greatest and most enduring problems?
Given that the most important thinkers of the pragmatist movement
Charles S. Peirce, William James, John Dewey, and George Herbert
Mead said little about the problem of race, how does their
distinctly American way of thinking confront the hardship and
brutality that characterizes the experience of many African
Americans in this country? In 12 thoughtful and provocative essays,
contemporary American pragmatists connect ideas with action and
theory with practice to come to terms with this seemingly
intractable problem. Exploring themes such as racism and social
change, the value of the concept of race, the role of education in
ameliorating racism, and the place of democracy in dealing with the
tragedy of race, the voices gathered in this volume consider how
pragmatism can focus new attention on the problem of race.

Schinkel reiste zweimal nach Italien. Einmal als junger Mann und
einmal als bereits reifer Kunstler. Die Italienreisen von 1803 bis
1805 und 1824 waren nicht nur fur seinen Werdegang als Kunstler von
kaum zu uberschatzender Bedeutung, sie haben das ganze Kunstleben
Berlins befruchtet und dem preussischen Klassizismus eine
spezifische Heiterkeit mitgeteilt. In diesem Band werden seine im
"klassischen Land" entstandenen Skizzen und Aufzeichnungen
ausfuhrlich dokumentiert und kommentiert. Wahrend die erste Reise
des sich entfaltenden Genies durch Schriftzeugnisse nur
unvollstandig dokumentiert ist, unterrichtet ein kontinuierlich
gefuhrtes Tagebuch nahezu luckenlos uber die zweite Reise des nun
schon beruhmten Architekten. Diese schriftlichen Dokumente sind
hier erstmals wortgetreu einschliesslich der Korrekturen und in
originaler Schreibweise wiedergegeben sowie ausfuhrlich kommentiert
und erganzt durch bisher unveroeffentlichte Quellen. Die Reifung
eines grossen Kunstlers in 20 Jahren lasst sich in Urteilen, in der
Wahrnehmung und im Stil der Formulierungen eindrucksvoll
nachvollziehen. Durch die Fulle von bedeutenden Zeichnungen -
abgebildet sind fast alle der rund 750 Einzelblatter und Studien in
Skizzenbuchern - wird das Erlebnis vor allem der ersten Reise
veranschaulicht.
