This book deals with the most recent achievements in the following areas of high energy physics: physics of e+e- collisions, lepton-nucleon scattering, relativistic heavy ion collisions (the quest for quark-gluon plasma), and multiparticle production. New experimental results from Tevatron, LEP, SPS and HERA and the theoretical progress in the aforementioned fields are presented.

This book covers a wide range of problems in elementary particle production physics OCo particle fluctuations and correlations, diffractive processes, soft and hard processes in quantum chromodynamics, heavy ion collisions, etc. Of the utmost importance are inclusion-theoretical papers devoted to the problems associated with high and even very high multiplicity particle production, making proposals for experiments at existing and forthcoming colliders of elementary particles."

This volume contains more than 80 papers by theorists and experimentalists in the field of multiparticle production. A large variety of domains in high energy physics are covered. For each of these domains, an overview is given before the newest results are presented.

By adopting the approach of simulating actual morning report sessions experienced by hospital doctors, Clinical Case Studies in Pediatrics provides a compendium of commonly seen types of pediatrics cases that require hospital admission. Each case study is presented by description of indication of admission to the hospital, the physical examination and laboratory test results, followed by a differential diagnosis, discussion of the differential diagnosis, and finally an in-depth discussion of the actual diagnosis. Study and review questions, which will help medical students or pediatricians-in-training to apply their knowledge, are also included. This book will not only be useful to medical students, it can also be a handy reference for pediatricians and doctors-in-training.
