Eleven-year-old Temple Avery lives with his aunt, who checked out from the world when her husband died during an alien invasion. Temple's mother is dead, and his father, Paris, is in space fighting the invaders. Bullied and alone, Temple tries to find his place in a world reeling from the deaths of a billion people. When Paris returns, he brings with him a secret that could mean the end of the world. The aliens are planning to introduce a biological weapon, one that will wipe out civilization - unless Temple and Paris can stop them. Thus begins a race against time as Paris and Temple search for a cure to the most devastating virus man has ever known. But what Temple doesn't yet know is that the key to finding the antidote is already inside him.
This volume contains papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on "Sensors and Sensory Systems for Advanced Robots", which was held in Maratea, Italy, during the week Apri I 28 - May 3, 1986. Participants in the ARW, who came from eleven NATO and two non-NATO countries, represented an i nternat i ona I assortment of d i st i ngu i shed research centers in industry, government and academia. Purpose of the Workshop was to rev i ew the state of the art of sensing for advanced robots, to discuss basic concepts and new ideas on the use of sensors for robot control and to provide recommendations for future research in this area, There IS an almost unanimous consensus among inve...

In the Seventeenth Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals, leading researchers from academia, industry, and government present state-of-the-art papers on how bioengineering can be used to produce fuels and chemicals competitively. This year's program covered topics in thermal, chemical, and biological processing; applied biological processing; bioprocessing research; process economics and commercialization; and environmental biotechnology. The ideas and techniques described will play an important role in developing new biological processes for producing fuels and chemicals on a large scale, and in reducing pollution, waste disposal problems, and the potential for global climate change.
