Sections include: the nature and extent of drug abuse in the U.S.; prevention research; treatment research; dual diagnosis: drug abuse and psychiatric illness; AIDS and intravenous drug abuse; cocaine and other stimulants; marijuana and the cannabinoids; phencyclidine (PCP) and related substances; heroin, other opiates, and the immune function; sedatives and anti-anxiety agents; nicotine dependence; and basic research on opioid peptides and receptors.
Primate Anti-Predator Strategies
This volume details the different ways that nocturnal primates avoid predators. It is a first of its kind within primatology, and is therefore the only work giving a broad overview of predation – nocturnal primate predation theory in particular – in the field Additionally, the book incorporates several chapters on the theoretical advances that researchers studying nocturnal primates need to make.
Chaim L. Pekeris and the Art of Applying Mathematics with WEIZAC, 1955–1963
This book describes the groundbreaking work of Chaim Leib Pekeris and his collaborators. Between 1955 and 1963 they used the first electronic computer built in Israel, the Weizmann Automatic Computer (WEIZAC), to develop powerful numerical methods that helped achieve new and accurate solutions of the Boltzmann equation, calculate energy levels of the helium atom, produce detailed geophysical and seismological models derived from the study of the free oscillations of the earth, and refine models used to predict meteorological phenomena and global oceanic tides. This book provides a unique account of the pioneering work of Chaim L. Pekeris in applied mathematics and explains in detail the background to the rise of the Weizmann Institute as a world-class center of scientific excellence. This hitherto untold story is of great interest to historians of twentieth-century science with special emphasis on the application of computer-assisted numerical methods in various branches of mathematical physics.
