One Medicine
There is a saying "he is a person who can charm the birds from the trees." This might well be applied to Kurt Benirschke. Indeed, it describes both his warm personality and his intimate interaction with nature. He might be considered a modern adept of the Greek and Roman Stoic school of philosophy, which taught an understanding of man as integrated into nature in its totality. The right way to live is according to nature, with nature as part of it. This at the same time means humanity, and Kurt Benirschke impresses us not only as an outstanding scientist, but also as a humanist who has had a lifelong love affair with nature. The foundation of Springer-Verlag New York in 1964 offered a great ...
Issues and Reviews in Teratology
There is still no clear understanding of what causes the great majority of human congenital malformations. And since in most sorts of human disease and pathology that yet prevail prevention usually awaits understanding of cause, it is generally thought that the same is true of developmental aberrations. But is this true? For the relatively few congenital malformations whose causes are primarily environmental, it is plain that their discovery has enabled prevention, but not nec essarily immediately. It took a generation from the time of the discovery that maternal rubella was teratogenic to learn how to immunize against it. Much debate occurred before it was appreciated that thalidomide was a...
High Performance Computing Systems. Performance Modeling, Benchmarking and Simulation
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop, PMBS 2013 in Denver, CO, USA in November 2013. The 14 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The selected articles broadly cover topics on massively parallel and high-performance simulations, modeling and simulation, model development and analysis, performance optimization, power estimation and optimization, high performance computing, reliability, performance analysis, and network simulations.
Comparative Mammalian Cytogenetics
Ten years ago a symposium on Cytotaxonomy 'was held in London (Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond. 169:110, 1958) in which a first attempt was made to bring together various disciplines to discuss advances of mammalian cytogenetics and to put them into proper context with the sciences of evolution and taxonomy. The introductory remarks by \V. B. Turrill to that symposium, essentially an admonishment to be tolerant of the short comings of our respective disciplines, would be a most appropriate begin ning to this conference as ,,'ell. However, the meeting held at Hanover was conceived more along the lines of remarks made by R. B. Seymour Se,,'ell in his presidential address to the same society: "It has bee...
Teratology
In the fifteen years since the thalidomide disaster teratology has become a science in its own right, distinct from its progenitors, experimental embryology and develop mental biology, but bearing many of the familiar features of both parents. In this growth period there have been contributions from many different scientific disciplines as diverse as molecular biology and obstetrics, which have united in the field of study of congenital malformations. Scientists in academic departments, government research institutes and industrial pharmacology have all explored ways of evaluating the potential of drugs and chem icals to damage the embryo; strict methods of screening for teratogenicity have ...

Euro-Par 2023: Parallel Processing
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 34th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Euro-Par 2023, held in Limassol, Cyprus, in August/September 2023. The 49 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 164 submissions. They are covering the following topics: programming, compilers and performance; scheduling, resource management, cloud, edge computing, and workflows; architectures and accelerators; data analytics, AI, and computational science; theory and algorithms; multidisciplinary, and domain-specific and applied parallel and distributed computing.
