Contains lectures and contributed papers from an August 1997 workshop aimed especially at young researchers and graduate students in nuclear physics. Invited talks encompass areas including particle interferometry, collective flow in heavy-ion collisions, phase transitions in nuclear physics, lifetime of quasiparticles in the quark-gluon plasma, and properties of hadrons in the nuclear medium. Contributed papers examine areas such as strangeness production in the meson cloud model, the chiral bag model with a soft surface, and hadronic slopes and cross-sections for vector mesons. No index.

This year's edition of the World Science Report examines the role played by science in resolving the major issues facing human society, such as food security, water resources and disease.
This book focuses on the widely used experimental techniques available for the structural, morphological, and spectroscopic characterization of materials. Recent developments in a wide range of experimental techniques and their application to the quantification of materials properties are an essential side of this book. Moreover, it provides concise but thorough coverage of the practical and theoretical aspects of the analytical techniques used to characterize a wide variety of functional nanomaterials. The book provides an overview of widely used characterization techniques for a broad audience: from beginners and graduate students, to advanced specialists in both academia and industry.
