The assessment of structural integrity is a vitally important
consideration in many fields of engineering, which has an influence
on the full range of professional activities from conception,
design and analysis, through operation to residual life evaluation
and possible life extension. In devising satisfactory procedures
for this purpose there is a clear need for interaction and
information exchange across this broad spectrum of activities. This
conference provided the forum for this exchange of expertise and
knowledge among engineers from diverse professional backgrounds and
disciplines. The conference was run under the auspices of the
Engineering Integrity Society and the Dynamic Testing Agency and
was co-sponsored by the British Society for Strain Measurement, the
Department of Trade and Industry, the Institution of Mechanical
Engineers, the Joint British Committee for Stress Analysis and the
National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards. The
papers presented are relevant to practitioners in power generation,
aerospace, transport, offshore, process and construction
engineering.

During 1996-97 MSRI held a full academic-year program on
combinatorics, with special emphasis on its connections to other
branches of mathematics, such as algebraic geometry, topology,
commutative algebra, representation theory, and convex geometry.
The rich combinatorial problems arising from the study of various
algebraic structures are the subject of this book, which features
work done or presented at the program's seminars. The text contains
contributions on matroid bundles, combinatorial representation
theory, lattice points in polyhedra, bilinear forms, combinatorial
differential topology and geometry, Macdonald polynomials and
geometry, enumeration of matchings, the generalized Baues problem,
and Littlewood-Richardson semigroups. These expository articles,
written by some of the most respected researchers in the field,
present the state of the art to graduate students and researchers
in combinatorics as well as in algebra, geometry, and topology.
Richard Stanley's two-volume basic introduction to enumerative
combinatorics has become the standard guide to the topic for
students and experts alike. This thoroughly revised second edition
of Volume 1 includes ten new sections and more than 300 new
exercises, most with solutions, reflecting numerous new
developments since the publication of the first edition in 1986.
The author brings the coverage up to date and includes a wide
variety of additional applications and examples, as well as updated
and expanded chapter bibliographies. Many of the less difficult new
exercises have no solutions so that they can more easily be
assigned to students. The material on P-partitions has been
rearranged and generalized; the treatment of permutation statistics
has been greatly enlarged; and there are also new sections on
q-analogues of permutations, hyperplane arrangements, the cd-index,
promotion and evacuation and differential posets.
Catalan numbers are probably the most ubiquitous sequence of
numbers in mathematics. This book gives for the first time a
comprehensive collection of their properties and applications to
combinatorics, algebra, analysis, number theory, probability
theory, geometry, topology, and other areas. Following an
introduction to the basic properties of Catalan numbers, the book
presents 214 different kinds of objects counted by them in the form
of exercises with solutions. The reader can try solving the
exercises or simply browse through them. Some 68 additional
exercises with prescribed difficulty levels present various
properties of Catalan numbers and related numbers, such as
Fuss-Catalan numbers, Motzkin numbers, Schroeder numbers, Narayana
numbers, super Catalan numbers, q-Catalan numbers and (q,t)-Catalan
numbers. The book ends with a history of Catalan numbers by Igor
Pak and a glossary of key terms. Whether your interest in
mathematics is recreation or research, you will find plenty of
fascinating and stimulating facts here.
Through a discussion of Biblical texts, this book presents four
perspectives on the role of works at the final judgment. The final
judgment is the last and final act before God dwells with his
people forever. Scripture makes that clear, but what function do
our actions play in the final assessment of our souls--especially
those of professing Christians? The contributors each state their
case for one of four prominent views on the effect of works at the
end of time: Robert N. Wilkin: Works will determine rewards but not
salvation Thomas R. Schreiner: Works will provide evidence that one
actually has been saved James D. G. Dunn: Works will provide the
criterion by which Christ will determine eternal destiny of his
people Michael P. Barber: Works will merit eternal life This book
allows each contributor to not only present the case for his view,
but also to critique and respond to the critiques of the other
contributors, allowing you to compare their beliefs in an open
forum setting to see where they overlap and where they differ. The
Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of
scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both
fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a
one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different
positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

* Stanley represents a broad perspective with respect to two
significant topics from Combinatorial Commutative Algebra:
1) The theory of invariants of a torus acting linearly on a
polynomial ring, and
2) The face ring of a simplicial complex
* In this new edition, the author further develops some
interesting properties of face rings with application to
combinatorics

Trauma to various organ systems is a common medical problem in the
pediatric age group. With the increase in vehicular traffic and
active participation in contact sports, as well as a change in the
social atmosphere, the incidence of injury to children is
increasing. There is considerable morbidity associated with these
injuries and accidents are the most common cause of death in this
population group. The radiologist, using the various diagnostic
radiological moda lities available, becomes involved in practically
all cases of trauma of any degree of seriousness. The radiological
methods lend themselves not only to determining the specific
diagnosis but also to assessing the extent of the injury. This is
important in determining of the patient as in recent years a more
conserva the management tive type of therapy is advocated in
several types of injury. As has been said, "Children are not like
adults," hence injuries are of different types from those seen in
adults. The ligaments and tendons of children are stronger than the
bone structure, thus sprains and strains are not as common as
fractures. Certain organs are in a less protected position in a
child and may readily be injured from relatively minor trauma.
Injury due to violent action of others such as gunshot and stab
wounds are not as common as in the adult population but they are
increasing in the teenage group. Blunt trauma or that due to rapid
deceleration is the usual type of trauma seen in childhood."
