Magnetic multilayers is a rapidly growing and multidisciplinary field of research. The purpose of this book is to give a unified overview of recent progress, giving special emphasis to the most important industrial applications. A general introduction is followed by six chapters that describe a wide range of physical aspects, together with experimental and theoretical methods. Scientists and students alike will benefit from the comprehensive discussion of numerous devices and their physics. As the technology matures, these devices, for example spin valves and magnetic random access memories, are likely to become widely used.

The use of ultrasonic imaging techniques for diagnostic purposes in veteri nary medicine and animal science has lagged far behind their use in human medicine. In the area of domestic animal reproduction, diagnostic ultrasono graphy has a relatively short history. Reports on B-mode scanning first appeared as late as 1969, when Stouffer and co-workers used it for counting foetal numbers in late gestation sheep. After Lindahl had re-evaluated the potential of two-dimensional ultrasonography for pregnancy diagnosis in sheep in 1976, results of the first large scale field-trials by Fowler and Wilkins on predicting foetal numbers during the first half of gestation in sheep were published as recently as 1980. In this year also the first paper, by Palmer and co-workers, on ultrasonic scanning of the uterus and ovaries in the mare appeared. The improvement of diagnostics which was achieved by the application of this technique is illustrated by its present routine use in clinical equine practice and sheep breeding. Besides offe ring an accurate early pregnancy diagnosis in species such as the horse, cow, sheep, goat, pig and dog, ultrasonography enables the visualization of ovarian and uterine structures for the identification of both physiological and pathological conditions. In this way it replaces or supplements the more common diagnostic techniques used by the general practitioner so far. Ultrasonography has also opened several new lines of research for clini cians and research workers."

Capturing the state of the art of the interplay between partial differential equations, functional analysis, maximal regularity, and probability theory, this volume was initiated at the Delft conference on the occasion of the retirement of Philippe Cl ment. It will be of interest to researchers in PDEs and functional analysis.

Some years ago the N etherlands Research Committee for European Refugee Problems commissioned an investigation into the adjustment problems of foreigners who for various reasons have taken refuge in the Netherlands. This investigation is of great interest. In these times of rapid change we all have our problems of adjustment. How very much greater these problems must be for those who had to leave all they cherished behind them and start all over again in new and strange surroundings. I wholeheartedlyendorse the Committee's initiative in publish ing in this monograph the main results of the investigation. These results should be useful in the work of the organizations concerned with refugee welfare. But in wider circles, both in the Netherlands and abroad, this publication should also awaken interest in the refugee question in general and the situation of refugees in the Nether lands in particular. How necessary this interest still is has been shown once again by the recent events in Hungary, which brought untold misery to many thousands. These Hungarian refugees and countless others who before them fled can best be helped to adjust to the new patterns of life if all who in their daily lives come into contact with them approach them in the right way. But to be able to do that we must first realize the difficulties the refugees have to contend with. Therefore the study of this monograph should be of posi tive value to many people."

This mind challenging book contains three hundred sixty six hard puzzles designed to improve your intelligence quotient (IQ). You cannot change your IQ; it is a measure of the intelligence you already have. However, the IQ you use on a daily basis - your effective IQ - can be increased. Doing so can help you be more successful in your personal relationships, as it increases your ability to solve and overcome problems. Additionally, you will find that as you increase your effective IQ, you can become more successful on your job as you strive to gain professional success. Medical research shows that regular word search puzzle solving can prevent the Alzheimer's syndrome. About This Book This book contains three hundred sixty six word search puzzles, with two puzzles on each page. The method for solving each puzzle should be familiar to you if you have worked word search puzzles before. However, the format is unique. Each puzzle has nineteen words listed in a vertical column. The word search puzzle is next to the list of words in a box of letter squares nineteen letters by nineteen letters. The solutions can be found vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, either forward or in reverse order. How to Solve Word Search Puzzles In order to achieve success at any task, one needs to know the best way to accomplish the goal of that task. With word search puzzle solving, the goal, of course, is to solve the puzzle. To do so, there are a number of methods one can use. They are as follows: Take a Quick Look Glance at the puzzle and mark the ones you see immediately first. Develop a Strategy As you work your word search puzzle, a strategy will help you to work faster and more efficiently 1)Check beginning letters. One successful strategy is to look for the beginning letter of the word for which you are searching. Then look at the box immediately to the left and right, above and below, and in both diagonal directions for the remaining letters. At this point, you should see the complete word. 2)Work each row in one direction. For example, work all the rows across first. Then choose another direction, maybe backwards across. Continue until the puzzle is completed. 3)Work the list. Some word search puzzle solvers simply work down the list, looking for each word. Of course, you want to go ahead and mark any other words you see. Work in sections. Whichever method of solution you choose, work your word search puzzle in sections. You don't want to repeatedly do the same area of your puzzle. Take a break. If you get stuck, stop and come back to the puzzle later. Work cooperatively. You can work a puzzle as a cooperative effort. Working with someone else can be fun and make puzzle solving easier. Relax. Don't become frustrated. Each consecutive puzzle should get easier. Go with the flow. Have fun Puzzle solving is supposed to be an enjoyable activity. Remember to make it one."
