Overview: Frau Dr. Rügge hat es mit dieser Arbeit unternommen, das Spannungsfeld zwischen T?t- keiten in der Arbeitswelt jenseits des Büros und der dafür bisher gedachten mobilen Anw- dungen auszuloten. Untersuchungen auf diesem neuen Gebiet sind sehr dünn ges?t und gehen kaum über Marketing-Studien für mobile Endger?te mit ihren spezialisierten Anwendungen hinaus. Insofern ist diese Arbeit grundlegend, besonders da sie auf eine Perspektive abhebt, die einerseits sehr umfassend und daher anspruchsvoll ist, andererseits aber auch von einer weise aber leider erst zu sp?t in den üblichen Entwickl

Overview: This volume was originally intended to be an English translation of the book MetllOden in der medizinischen Cytogenetik, published in 1970. Just about then, however, a number of new techniques were introduced in human cytogenetics and soon acquired the utmost importance, parti- cularly in clinical diagnosis, so that the English edition had to be con- siderably enlarged. As a result, there are now twelve chapters instead of eight, and two additional authors have been called upon, Dr. KRONE and Dr. SCHNEDL. In addition to the up-to-date presentation of con- ventional methods of cell cu

Overview: What did we have in mind when in May, 1976, we (Professor de Gennes, Dr. Tourand and ourselves) thought of a Summer School in the field of liquids? First, we wanted to present and discuss the new results that have been obtained recently, in particular at the high flux reactor of the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble since it became operational in 1972. In order to achieve this goal, the major part of this Summer School was devoted to an ex- tensive presentation of the gen~ra1 concepts and methods of study- ing this state of matter (time-dependent correlation functions, molecular dyn
