This book focuses on a current controversy in teaching foreign language grammar, namely the contribution of production-oriented and comprehension-based instruction. It provides a thorough overview of issues related to learning and teaching grammar.

The health and productivity of forest ecosystems in the southern United States are currently limited by temperature, precipitation, and soil nutrition. In a changing global environment, these forest ecosystems face an unprecedented rate of change by additional stresses from air pollution and climatic change,...

Both theoretical and practical considerations motivate the repre- sentation of objects as certain compositions of simpler ones. In the theory of automata this observation has led to the concepts of pro- ducts and complete systems of automata. In the general form of the products...

During the early 1950's there appeared reports, from time to time of the presence among the products elaborated by actinomycetes of antifungal antibiotics which exhibited very similar and very characteristic multipeaked ultraviolet absorption spectra. In 1954, with a good number of examples on record,...

The volumes of this classic series, now referred to simply as "Zechmeister" after its founder, L. Zechmeister, have appeared under the Springer imprint ever since the series was founded in 1938. The volumes contain contributions on various topics related to the origin, distribution, chemistry,...

The objective of this ASI was to bring together specialists in several complex variables (many of whom have contributed to complex potential theory) and specialists in potential theory (all of whom have contributed to several complex variables) together with young researchers and graduate students...
