One of the most important factors in ensuring successful osseointegration is the stability of the implant after its insertion. In order to achieve optimum conditions for implantation, it is often necessary to prepare the area and reconstruct the bone to ensure that it is the correct shape and size for the implant. Preprosthetic and maxillofacial surgery provides a thorough review of the current status and future direction of this important field. Part one reviews bone grafting for implantology and reconstructive preprosthetic surgery. Chapters in part two discuss reconstruction and rehabilitation whilst the final group of chapters analyse tissue engineering applications.

Nolan Wallach's mathematical research is remarkable in both its breadth and depth. His contributions to many fields include representation theory, harmonic analysis, algebraic geometry, combinatorics, number theory, differential equations, Riemannian geometry, ring theory, and quantum information theory. The touchstone and unifying thread running through all his work is the idea of symmetry. This volume is a collection of invited articles that pay tribute to Wallach's ideas, and show symmetry at work in a large variety of areas. The articles, predominantly expository, are written by distinguished mathematicians and contain sufficient preliminary material to reach the widest possible audiences. Graduate students, mathematicians, and physicists interested in representation theory and its applications will find many gems in this volume that have not appeared in print elsewhere.

Amino Acid Analysis (AAA) is an integral part of analytical biochemistry. In a relatively short time, the variety of AAA methods has evolved dramatically with more methods shifting to the use of mass spectrometry (MS) as a detection method. Another new aspect is miniaturization. However, most importantly, AAA in this day and age should be viewed in the context of Metabolomics as a part of Systems Biology. Amino Acid Analysis: Methods and Protocols presents a broad spectrum of all available methods allowing for readers to choose the method that most suits their particular laboratory set-up and analytical needs. In this volume, a reader can find chapters describing general as well as specific approaches to the sample preparation. A number of chapters describe specific applications of AAA in clinical chemistry as well as in food analysis, microbiology, marine biology, drug metabolism, even archeology. Separate chapters are devoted to the application of AAA for protein quantitation and chiral AAA. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology (TM) series format, chapters contain introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and accessible, Amino Acid Analysis: Methods and Protocols provides crucial techniques that can be applied across multiple disciplines by anyone involved in biomedical research or life sciences.

This is a book for people who want to improve their lives through spiritual growth. It introduces the principles of Love, Compassion, Understanding, Honor, Honesty, Humility, which the author has tested herself and found to be true. These principles are presented with simple explanations and exercises to help the individual on this rewarding journey. There are examples from the author's own experiences to demonstrate the principles. The exercises are the same ones the author has used and found helpful in her own journey. Greater peace and happiness are among the benefits that the author experienced as a result of applying these principles and exercises to her life. She also no longer takes prescription blood-pressure medication as a result of pursuing a spiritual life style. The book is designed to be the first step in understanding and starting the process of self-improvement and, thus, improving the quality of and satisfaction in life.

Lexicography, together with grammatical studies and textual criticism, forms the basis of biblical exegesis. Recent decades have seen much progress in this field, yet increasing specialization also tends to have the paradoxical effect of turning exegesis into an independent discipline, while leaving lexicography to the experts. The present volume seeks to renew and intensify the exchange between the study of words and the study of texts. This is done in reference to both the Hebrew source text and the earliest Greek translation, the Septuagint. Questions addressed in the contributions to this volume are how linguistic meaning is effected, how it relates to words, and how words may be translated into another language, in Antiquity and today. Etymology, semantic fields, syntagmatic relations, word history, neologisms and other subthemes are discussed. The main current and prospective projects of biblical lexicology or lexicography are presented, thus giving an idea of the state of the art. Some of the papers also open up wider perspectives of interpretation.

Dr. BRUNO BLOCH, professor of the Dermatological clinic of Zurich, began a new era of eczema research by attempting to sensitize guinea pigs to primula. It was during this period that I had the pleasure of being Dr. BLOCH's chief resident, and could observe these experiments. It was only in 1955 that Dr. E. BUJARD, professor of Histology of the University of Geneva, Dr. R. BRUN, chief of laboratories of my Dermatology Department and I began to work in the field of experimental eczema on the nipples and flanks of guinea pigs. Besides these collaborators, to whom I am very grateful, a few others have participated in our experiments. Among these new co-workers the most im portant was Mrs. NICOLE HUNZIKER, chief resident of my clinic. From 1960 on, she worked on the eczema experiments with guinea pigs. Our research has been conside rably advanced by Dr. HUNZIKER. Untill now we have published 30 communica tions on this subject, but the publications about our results have been very short. It now seemed appropriate to publish a monograph and Dr. HUNZIKER undertook this very toilsome task. I would like to take this occasion to thank her for her many years of collaboration both in the clinic and in the laboratory. I am also very grateful to Professor BUJARD who, in spite of the fact that he is retired, continues to work with us. We continually profit from his great experience. Dr.

Our colleagues from the French-speaking parts of Switzerland - the Suisses romands - and above all the committee of the 3rd Cycle, e Earth Sciences (3 Cycle, Sciences de la Terre) honored us by asking us to give a course on Isotope Geology for the year 1977. The course, entitled Evaluation et Interpretation des Donnees Isotopiques (eval uation and Interpretation of Isotopic Data), was intended to inform earth scientists, graduate and postgraduate, from the western Swiss Universities on the subject of Isotope Geology. Such courses usually consist of two parts: lectures and excursions. Thus, in March 1977, we gave such a two-week course at the Miner alogical Institute of the University of Berne. The first week was devoted essentially to the methods of dating, the second week to the behavior of stable isotopes. In July 1977, on the occasion of an excursion to the Central and Western Alps, we were able to demonstrate our results. Guest professors were invited to make contributions to the course."

Gemeinden gehoren zu den institutionellen Grundfiguren des Alten Europa und haben in allen europasichen Landern auf den Staat Einfluss zu nehmen versucht. Exemplarische Studien am deutschen, englischen und franzosischen Material untersuchen die Bedeutung der Gemeinde als politische Institution und deren Einfluss auf die Pragung des Staates. Das geschieht einerseits uber eine Analyse von Beschwerden und Suppliken und deren Auswirkungen auf die staatliche Verwaltung und Gesetzgebung und andererseits uber Untersuchungen, welche Rolle die Gemeinden in zeitgenossischen theoretischen Erorterungen einnehmen. Da Gemeinden gleichermassen Erscheinungen der stadtischen und der landlichen Lebenswelt sind, kommt die gestaltende Kraft der Burger und Bauern fur das Spatmittelalter und die Fruhe Neuzeit starker in den Blick und erganzt so das herkommliche Bild von Herrschaft und Obrigkeit.

Ansichten eines Hirns ist das Resultat einer Informationsreise zu den wichtigsten europaischen Zentren der Hirnforschung. Wir konnten da- raus die aktuellsten Perspektiven der Spezialisten in Erfahrung bringen. Es galt, die wesentlichen Erkenntnisse der Fachleute aus der Fulle ihrer Arbeiten herauszuschalen, miteinander in Beziehung zu setzen und daraus - so weit wie moeglich - ein Netz von Zusammenhangen zu knupfen. Der Kern dieser Aufgabe bestand darin, den babylonischen Sprachdschungel einander fremd geworden er Einzelwissenschaftler zu entwirren, um Ihnen den Weg zu einem kunftigen Dialog zu ebnen. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass es in der Hirnforschung ums Eigentliche des Menschseins geht, ist ein Austausch von Einzelansichten kein Luxus, sondern wissenschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Notwendigkeit. Da die vielfaltigen Ansichten des Gehirns im Grund immer auch die grundlegende Arbeitsweise eben dieses Denk-und Gefuhlsorgans offen- baren, sind wir zur UEberzeugung gelangt, dass sich wirkliche Erkenntnis- se und die Faszination des Gegenstandes auch umgangssprachlich pra- zise und lustvoll vermitteln lassen.
