Particle Accelerators and Their Uses is a comprehensive treatment of the construction and applications of the major accelerator types. Part I presents the design and parameters of such accelerator types as high-voltage and radio frequency linear designs, synchrocyclotrons and microtrons. Part II explores the wide range of accelerator applications in physics, medicine, industry and engineering.

Music, Society and Imagination in Contemporary France provides new insight into the dominant creative elements of French contemporary music at the close of the 1980s. The collection includes thirteen essays drawn from a diverse range of authors, sketches by composers, musicological studies, and interviews, and a discussion of the universal problems of writing and technique. These elements have taken on an auxiliary role in contemporary music, as musical forms are no longer a primordial concern. The collection poses such challenging questions as whether music should be created for those who do

This volume compiles state-of-the-art research in the area of persistent virus infections. A distinguished group of contributing virologists explore the mechanisms by which various viruses, including HIV-1, hantavirus, hepatitis, lentivirus, and measles persist within the human host. As such, this volume considers persistence on three separate levels: persistence within the cell, persistence within the individual human being, and persistence within the human population. Genetic changes associated with virus persistence are reviewed and intervention strategies are discussed.

The term ’drug misuse’ covers a wide range of drug using activity, from ’experimentation’ and weekend ’rave’ drug use, to heroin dependence. Professionals, drug misusers and the public may all have different perceptions of what constitutes ’problem drug use’. Throughout this century, drug misuse has concerned politicians, doctors and the public to varying degrees at any given time - but concern at today’s illicit drug use coincides with a marked increase in overall levels of drug taking, particularly amongst young people.The serious risks f

Covering all aspects of current research in adrenergic receptors, the book starts with a comprehensive overview of the subject, and continues with each chapter written by a leader in the field. The scope of this volume makes it an indispensable guide for researchers working on adrenergic receptors, or in the general fields of G-protein coupled receptors or signal transduction.Adrenergic receptors are the best characterised of the cellular receptors and are used as models for a wide range of receptor systems. The adrenergic receptors provide one of the best-known models of the syper-family of G

This is the first book on the basic principles of optical parametric processes and recent results on the rapidly developing optical parametric device technology. Optical parametric devices are powerful solid state sources of broadly tunable coherent radiation, capable of covering the entire spectral range from the near uv to the mid ir, and can operate down to the femtosecond time domain. The book gives a thorough discussion of the theoretical basis of stimulated and spontaneous optical parametric processes and detailed design consideration of optical parametric oscillators and amplifiers, fol
