The book has been divided into two parts. Part I comprises review chapters on trichomycetes - including the history, taxonomy, phylogeny, biogeography ultrastructure, and physiology of trichomycetes. Part II comprises a composite of topics. It begins with two chapters on insect-fungus associations (ant pathogenic fungi and bark beetle galleries) followed by a chapter on nematophagous fungi. Subsequent chapters deal with such diverse mycological topics as fungal endophytes, endolithic micoorganisms, aquatic ascomycetes and hyphomycetes, and mushrooms.

WELLBORN ARE MY CHILDREN - identical epitaphs on identical tombstones a thousand miles apart - leads photographer Sam Dawson to discover a crime, perhaps the most heinous in U.S. history. More than three-quarters of a century have passed since the undetected mass murders of young women occurred. But the tragedy lives on in this fast-paced journey of discovery. Eugene Eris, the name inscribed on the two tombstones, haunts Sam at every turn. The beautiful geneticist Blair Tennyson helps Sam understand the how and why of genetic manipulation and the dark history of America's attempt to genetically improve the human species. Sam trusts no one except small-town waitress Annie George. But, like Sam, Annie is linked to Eris. Together they race to unearth the graves of a lost cemetery and to expose the mass murders of people who were involved in an experiment much larger and more sinister than Sam envisioned. Steven W. Horn's techno-thriller weaves a story of dark secrets while challenging readers to consider politically charged social issues as the novel races toward an unthinkable ending. The Pumpkin Eater, the nightmarish evil-doer of the past, haunts the present and lingers just below the surface of the future. Who is he? What has he done? Who are his protectors? The tension mounts as Sam navigates toward the shocking conclusion. With this novel, Horn begins his Sam Dawson Mystery series.

Das vorliegende Buch gibt einen umfassenden UEberblick uber das wohl aktivste Forschungs- und Anwendungsgebiet der Artificial Intelligence - uber Expertensysteme. Basierend auf den Erfahrungen aus mehrjahriger Vorlesungstatigkeit stellt das Autorenteam neben grundlegenden Konzepten auch die theoretischen wie praktischen Aspekte ausfuhrlich dar. Eine kompetente Einfuhrung in die Pradikatenlogik wird gegeben. Als Novum verdeutlicht dieses Buch die unterschiedlichen Schlussweisen und Komponenten von Expertensystemen durch ausfuhrbare Prototypen in der logischen Programmiersprache Prolog. Dem praktischen Aspekt wird weiters durch einen UEberblick uber im industriellen Einsatz stehende Expertensysteme Rechnung getragen. Nicht zuletzt behandelt dieses Buch die neuesten Entwicklungen, wie Experten-Datenbanksysteme und Ergonomie und Gestaltung von Benutzerschnittstellen fur Expertensysteme. Das Buch eignet sich damit nicht nur als Unterlage und Referenz fur Vorlesungen auf dem Gebiet der Expertensysteme, vielmehr wendet es sich auch an den interessierten Informatiker und Programmierer in Studium und Praxis.
