This book provides an evaluation of the European Community''s transformation from a rather uncoordinated small group of member states, with a barely visible foreign policy, into a relatively cohesive and independent foreign policy actor, that is today known as the European Union. The EC''s extensive and hitherto undocumented intervention in the high-profile Central American conflict of the 1980s demonstrates a coherence and convergence around a policy that was different from that of the United States and, in the end, more effective. The book also discusses how four key member states - Britain, the Federal Republic of Germany, France and Spain - reacted both to the growing crisis in Central America and to West Europe''s conflictual relations with the US. The EC''s foreign policy success will not easily be emulated in another international crisis. While the EU remains a non-unitary, non-state actor, it is only in ''non-crises'' that the EU, particularly an enlarged EU, will be able to operate an effective foreign policy post-Maastricht.

Clausewitz is often quoted but more often misunderstood. On Clausewitz presents his central ideas about war and politics - such as war as an instrument of policy, the concept of Absolute War, friction and the fog of war - in a clear and systematic fashion. It also presents the man, his life and the military and intellectual environment in which he produced his great work On War . A final section considers Clausewitz''s relevance to the rapidly changing nature of war today.

This book critically examines the phenomenon and the consequences of the increasing inter-dependence between industry, universities and national laboratories. It explores the contrasts and similarities between the patterns of formal and informal links in a technologically dynamic industry (electronic components) with those in a traditional industry (flow measurement) in the UK, France and Belgium. It uses evidence from interviews with firms, academics and industry organisations in the three countries to identify the major factors which regulate links.

Since an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, predicted by Einstein in 1925, was first produced in the laboratory in 1995, the study of ultracold Bose and Fermi gases has become one of the most active areas in contemporary physics. This book explains phenomena in ultracold gases from basic principles, without assuming a detailed knowledge of atomic, condensed matter, and nuclear physics. This new edition has been revised and updated, and includes new chapters on optical lattices, low dimensions, and strongly-interacting Fermi systems. This book provides a unified introduction to the physics of ultracold atomic Bose and Fermi gases for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as experimentalists and theorists. Chapters cover the statistical physics of trapped gases, atomic properties, cooling and trapping atoms, interatomic interactions, structure of trapped condensates, collective modes, rotating condensates, superfluidity, interference phenomena, and trapped Fermi gases. Problems are included at the end of each chapter.

Current Advances in Immunology presents the advances in immunology in an easy-to-use format. The book is split into 51 main areas that are further classified into sections. Where appropriate, cross-referencing to other sections is given. The text also provides a guide on how to use the book. Papers included in the book focus on a variety of topics ranging from immunoglobulins and antigens to interferons, lymphocytes, leukocytes, and macrophages as well as natural killer cells, Langerhans cells, dendritic cells, lymphoid tissue, and humoral mediators of immune responses and immunomodulators. Other papers discuss blood groups, transplantation, anti-bacterial immunity, chronic inflammation, delayed hypersensitivity, and contact sensitivity. Immunodeficiency, immune complexes, tumor immunity, immunopharmacology and immunotoxicology, and the link between nutrition and immunity are also explored. A section devoted to psychoneuroimmunology focuses on the effect of stress on graft-versus-host reaction; immunological response to stress in agoraphobia and panic attacks; and anti-beta-endorphin immunoglobulin G in humans. This book will be of interest to working scientists in the field of immunology.

Light and Plant Development presents the Proceedings of the 22nd University of Nottingham Easter School in Agricultural Science. It discusses the spectral sensitivity of inhibition of flowering by light. It addresses the action spectrum for leaf enlargement and stem growth inhibition. Some of the topics covered in the book are the nature of the blue light photoreceptor in higher plants and fungi; re-examination of photochemical properties and absorption characteristics of phytochrome using high-molecular-weight preparations; and intermediates in the photoconversion of phytochrome. The high irradiance reaction is fully covered. The physiological evidence and localised responses, intracellular localisation and action of phytochrome are discussed in detail. The text describes in depth the immunological visualisation of phytochrome. The fractionation procedures and terminology are presented completely. A chapter is devoted to the photocontrol of enzyme levels. Another section focuses on the ribosomal RNA synthesis in developing leaves. The book can provide useful information to botanists, chemists, students, and researchers.

This is a collection of metaphorical short stories created from bits of my life. When you have a negative experience, do you replay it over and over, allowing it to build upon itself, thereby magnifying those negative feelings? On the other hand, when you have a positive experience, do you replay that over and over, allowing it to build upon itself more and more feelings of joy? Do you find yourself attributing more aspects of good to the experience because of the uplifting feelings it brought to you? Couples who are in love often do this. In either case, the event is technically over with. Have you let those experiences go, or are you still living within them as if they were happening now? If the experience was negative, did you resolve it, or did you just bury it within the deep recesses of your mind, where it may be awakened from time to time in reaction to lifes continuing experiences? If it was positive, do you keep replaying it over and over as if there will be no more, thereby preventing yourself from creating and enjoying even better ones? Since the experiences, however you would describe them, have already happened, you can now rewrite the memory, or story, of any of them in a way that allows you to let them go using the information and understanding you have assimilated since then. If negative, you can take the bitter foods of those experiences, the spinach, turnips, and liver, then add spices and sauces of understanding, forgiveness, and love and let them pass out of your consciousness leaving you free to create a buffet of even more tasteful and delicious life experiences! The metaphorical foods that came my way may not have been ones I would have consciously chosen, yet I have now made them palatable adding value to my life and allowing me to let them go and move on. So can you. This is a portion of my buffet of stories. What are yours?

The 5th Pathogenic Neisseriae Conference was held in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, on 15-18 September 1986. It followed San Francisco - USA (1978), Hemavan - Sweden (1980), Montreal - Canada (1982), Asilomar - USA (1984). These conferences will continue to be held in the foreseeing future. The reason for this is because studying pathogenic Neisseriae enables research workers to look at many aspects of bacterial infectious diseases. These aspects include: - Epidemiology and vaccination (section 1) - Genetic aspects of antigenic diversity (section 2) - Outer membrane proteins and IgA-protease (section 3) - Lipopolysaccharides, H8 antigen and peptidoglycan (section ~) - The application of all this knowledge to study pathogenesis (section 5) N. gonorrhoeae has become an important model organism to study mucosal bacterial infectious diseases. Basic knowledge about the bacterial surface, gene- tics and physiology is linked to pathogenic mechanisms such as adhesion to and invasion of epithelial cells, interaction with complement and phagocytic cells and mucosal immune mechanisms. This will continue to be an important research field in the near future. N. meningitidis has become an important model organism to study the epide- miology of potentially epidemic bacterial diseases and against which new type of vaccines are being developed such as outer membrane protein vaccines.The above mentioned topics are covered by papers presented at The 5th Path- ogenic Neisseriae Conference, 1986. I would like to thank Marijke van de Nadort without whom it would have been much harder or even impossible to organize such a meeting.

Pathogenic bacteria have unique biological properties, which enable them to invade a host and cause sickness. The molecular bases of these biological properties are the determinants of pathogenicity, and the research objectives are to recognize them, identify them chemically and relate their structure to function. Most of our present knowledge comes from studies with cultures in vitro. However, there is a rising interest in bacterial behaviour in the infected host and new methods have been developed for studying it. This book describes those methods and shows how they, and a recent surge in conventional studies, are shedding light on the activities of bacterial pathogens in vivo. It discusses bacterial and host factors that operate in vivo to cause illness, showing how phenomena recognized in vitro relate to behaviour in vivo and, if evidence of relevance is not available now, indicating how it might be obtained.
