Tales of Electrologica
Manufacturing computers in series was quite a feat in the 1950s. As mathematical as it gets, the machines discussed here were called X1 and X8. The industrial achievement combined with the background in a mathematical research center made the company Electrologica a legend in Dutch computing. The tales in this book are told by those who have a right to tell. Highly engaged professionals take readers back to their pioneering work with the machines and in retrospect unveil some of the values, which went without saying in the 1960s. To disagree, Paul Klint relates the contrasting views on software in Dutch research traditions. ALGOL culture: Frans Kruseman Aretz takes the reader along to the de...
Male Homosexuality in 21st-Century Thailand
This book presents the very first analysis of male homosexuality in modern rural Thailand that is based on sociological/anthropological research directly with 25 young same-sex attracted men. It explores changes in the way men view and describe their sexuality over time by interviewing them three times over a period of around 18 months. The men are followed during an important transition in their lives: the end of their high school years and the end (in most cases) of their life as a child with parents or extended family at a rural home. Nearly all decided to move to a city to continue their education or to find work. Some also had stints with sex work in one of Thailand’s well-known centers for prostitution. For nearly all men, this transition brought them into contact with new ideas about gender and sexuality, and many experienced an abrupt increase in their opportunities to have sex, leading to a readjustment of their moral universes. The book presents significant new insights about the Thai sex/gender system, particularly on how it is affected by processes of globalization and the ascent of the Internet and mobile phones as tools for dating and romance.

Automata, Languages and Programming
The Second Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming is the successor of a similar Colloquium organized by IRIA in Paris, July 3-7, 1972. The present Colloquium which takes place at the Unl- versity of Saarbrucken from July 29th to August 2nd, 1974, is spon sored by the Gesellschaft fur. Informatik and organized in cooperation wlth the Special Interest Group on Automata and Computability Theory (SIGACT) and with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). As its predecessor the present Colloquium is devoted to the theo retical bases of computer science. This volume contains the text of the different lectures of the Colloquium whlch have been selected by the Program Committee out of about 130 submitted papers. About one third of the papers of this volume is concerned with formal language theory, one other third with the theory of computation and the rest with complexity theory, automata theory, programming languages, etc.

Prevention of Chronic Diseases and Age-Related Disability
This book explains how to promote and prolong “healthy ageing,” which constitutes maintaining daily functioning and well-being until the end of life. In this context, the editor of the book and the international team of authors, all of whom are experts on the various aspects of ageing, demonstrate the value of this new approach in clinical practice. The systematic integration of a functional assessment, if not a complete and comprehensive geriatric assessment, is fundamental in daily clinical practice. Identifying risk factors at midlife will help to promote health at any age. Moreover, randomized control trials are making it increasingly clear that interventions could help ageing and el...
