Recent development of a new generation of Ziegler-Natta Catalysts using either magnesium dichloride as carrier or methylaluminoxane as cocatalyst has markedly stimulated the research activity in the field of olefin polymerization. These discoveries have not only yielded economical processes for polyolefin production but also opened the way to a new generation of novel polymers. Moreover, the nature of active species is being clarified well by the effort to simplify catalyst systems. The present volume includes 38 papers from the 31 lectures and 18 posters presented at the symposium on `Recent

There has been rapid development in the area of adaptive computation over the past decade. The International Conference on Recent Advances in Adaptive Computation was held at Zhejiang University (Hangzhou, China) to explore these new directions. The conference brought together specialists to discuss modern theories and practical applications of adaptive methods. This volume contains articles reflecting the invited talks given by leading mathematicians at the conference. It is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in methods of computation.

Disordered materials such as Glasses, Semiconductors, Polymers, Alloys, Nanomaterials, Clusters and Liquids constitute a vast and challenging field of condensed matter physics. A deeper understanding of these materials is essential to understand the basic interactions in these materials and for creating new technologies in the 21st century. The topics covered are: · Amorphous Semiconductors · Nanomaterials · Low Dimensional Materials · Phase Transition · Disordered Alloys · Superconductivity · Points and Extended Defects · Classical and Quantum Liquids · C

Recent events and analyses have suggested that global production of oil might peak sometime within the next few years to the next one or two decades. Other analyses, however, conclude that oil supply can meet global demand for some decades to come and that oil production peaking is much further off. To explore this issue, the NRC held a workshop, funded by the Department of Energy, bringing together analysts representing these different views. The workshop was divided into four main sessions: setting the stage; future global oil supply and demand balance; mitigation options and time to impleme

How damaging is acid rain? Current opinions differ widely, in part because for every proposed link between acid rain and adverse environmental effects an alternative explanation based on other phenomena can be or has been proposed, and in many cases cannot be readily dismissed. The specific areas addressed in this volume include the emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides, precipitation chemistry, atmospheric sulfates and visibility, surface water chemistry, sediment chemistry and abundance of diatom taxa, fish populations, and forest productivity. The book then draws conclusions about the aci
