Freshwater eels are almost infinitely improbable creatures. They spawn and die in the middle of the ocean, often associated with undersea mountains. Their tra- parent, leaf-like larvae move with ocean currents for months or years until they approach the mouths of freshwater rivers. Then they undergo a dramatic transf- mation in morphology, physiology and behavior. They move from their planktonic oceanic environment, migrate upstream and live for several years as apex fre- water predators. Then, almost impossibly, as they become sexually mature, they reverse their migration downstream to the ocean and back to spawning grounds to complete their life cycle. The dramatic changes in their life cycles are incredible. The efforts to unravel the details of their life history have been truly daunting. Much of the past research was the work of dedicated individuals who devoted their lifetime research to these fishes. Freshwater eels merit a separate chapter in almost any textbook dealing with ichthyology, marine biology or animal migration. We know a great deal about some aspects of the biology of freshwater eels. However, our understanding of their bi- ogy still resembles a work of art as much as a work of science. To some it appears like the sweeping brush strokes of a Japanese Zen landscape, to others it resembles the work of a French impressionist, and to still others it appears as magic realism.

Dit is herfs in die bos. Dirkie soek na kastaiings maar vind op die grond ook 'n eekhoring. Slaap hy? Is hy siek of het hy 'n pootjie gebreek?

Exponential Fitting is a procedure for an efficient numerical approach of functions consisting of weighted sums of exponential, trigonometric or hyperbolic functions with slowly varying weight functions. This book is the first one devoted to this subject. Operations on the functions described above like numerical differentiation, quadrature, interpolation or solving ordinary differential equations whose solution is of this type, are of real interest nowadays in many phenomena as oscillations, vibrations, rotations, or wave propagation.

The authors studied the field for many years and contributed to it. Since the total number of papers accumulated so far in this field exceeds 200 and the fact that these papers are spread over journals with various profiles (such as applied mathematics, computer science, computational physics and chemistry) it was time to compact and to systematically present this vast material.

In this book, a series of aspects is covered, ranging from the theory of the procedure up to direct applications and sometimes including ready to use programs. The book can also be used as a textbook for graduate students. It comes with a complimentary CD Rom.

Dirkie gaan elke aand na 'n oop plek in die bos. Daar speel hy met al sy vriendjies: Wit en grys en bruin en swart konyntjies. Vreemd genoeg is Dirkie die enigste konyntjie wat met almal speel.

Uiteindelik vind hy 'n oplossing. Hy voel nou vir die eerste keer asof hy tussen die ander konyntjies inpas!

Dirkie is verlief. Hy droom daarvan om Annie se vriendjie te wees, maar hy is te bang om haar te vra.

Annie lag elke keer as sy hom in 'n nuwe gewaad sien. Maar toe Dirkie hom soos 'n geheimsinnige konyn vermom, raak sy bang en hardloop weg. Dirkie kom agter dat sy van hom hou net soos wat hy is. Maar sal Dirkie nou die moed he om haar uit te vra?

This monograph focuses on the socio-economic evaluation of agricultural landscapes in its broadest sense. The book presents the variety of services provided by farmers and agricultural landscapes. Instead of limiting the book to one perspective, Vanslembrouck and Van Huylenbrouck discuss landscape amenities from the farmers' as well as consumers' perspectives. These sometimes contrasting views are analysed and synthesized towards a set of recommendations for future landscape management and policy development. The authors offer insight into different types of landscape amenities including non-commodity outputs such as recreational and tourism functions and their economic assessment using the multifunctionality concept as a framework.
