The ASI Quarks, Leptons and Beyond, held in Munich from the 5th to the 16th of September 1983 was dedicated to the study of what we now believe are the fundamental building blocks of nature: quarks and leptons. The subject was approached on two levels. On the one hand, a thorough discussion was given of the status of our knowledge of quarks and leptons and their interactions, both from an experi mental and a theoretical standpoint. On the other hand, open problems presented by the so called standard model of quark and lepton interact ions were explored along various ways that lead one beyond this frame work. One of the principal predictions of the standard model is that weak interactions are mediated by heavy Wand Z vector bosons. These particles were discovered in 1983 at CERN and their relevant proper ties were discussed at the ASI by C. Rubbia. Further theoretical predictions concerning these Z and W bosons, yet to be checked by future experimentation, were discussed by G. Altarelli with a view of seeing where the standard model might fail and new physics ensue. The strong interactions of quarks, based on Quantum Chromodynamics (QeD), are presumed to cause the quarks to bind into hadrons. Pro gress in attempts to calculate the observed hadronic spectrum, ab initio, starting from QCD and employing lattice methods were reviewed at the ASI by P. Hasenfratz.

In the past ten years there was a worldwide trend towards increased use of Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM's). This trend covers a broad variety of applications ranging both from small diameters for sewers and other utilities to large diameters for double track railway and even three-lane highway tunnels. The response to this has been the development of both hard rock machines in the direction for application in soft ground, and soft ground TBM's to be used in soft rock. Parallel to the technical development of TBM's towards applications for longer tunnels, running through changing geological conditions, there are needs for the development of lining methods. 'TBM Tunnel Trends' an international lecture serie collection, aims to present the latest scientific and practical state of the art of TBM tunnelling, taking into consideration interactions between machinery and lining. 26 international highly recognized papers.

Never has so much progress been reported in immunology as at this congress. The full impact of new technologies, developed since the late 1970s, has come to fruition: gene isolation, mutation, transfection and expression, protein structure and peptide synthesis, cell cloning, hybridization and monoclonal antibodies, CD serology, SCID and transgenic mice, modern immunomudulation and vaccines. An overwhelming mass of data has accumulated over the last years. The reports are up-to-date and outstanding, to a degree no journal will ever achieve, and the results are presented in a concise and lucid way. This report will serve as a guideline for generations of immunologists to come. Hundreds of new alleys have been opened, an abundance of research tools and goals are pointed to. This volume is a treasure trove of explorations ahead of our time - it is exciting reading. This progress report presents outstanding contributions, worth many prizes - a feature which is unusual for proceedings volumes. Immunology is exhibited at its best: an exciting research area and a rewarding subject to study for the benefit of mankind - today more than ever!

Progress in Immunology

In znodern pharznacognosy chemical and physical-cheznical methods are being used znore and more for the investigation of medicinal plants. This important fact and the increasing involvement of chemistry, biocheznistry and botany in pllarmaceuti cal, znedicinal and general biological questions usher in a new epoch in the disco very of medicinal substances and the development of drugs derived from the plant kingdom. One of the guiding ideas of the first ""Syznposiuzn on Pharznacognosy and Phytocheznistry"" was to promote these developments, to provide an additional sti znulus and to establish.

Our understanding of the complex innate immune response is increasing rapidly. Its role in the protection against viral or bacterial pathogens is essential for the survival of an organism. However, it is equally important to avoid unregulated inflammation because innate immune responses can cause or promote chronic autoinflammatory diseases such as gout, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes or certain aspects of the metabolic syndrome. In this book leading international experts in the field of innate immunity share their findings, define the ‚state of the art‘ in this field and evaluate how insight into the molecular basis of these diseases could help in the design of new therapies. A tremendous amount of work on the innate immune response has been done over the last fifteen years, culminating in the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine awarded for the discoveries of Toll genes in immunity in flies, membrane-bound Toll-like receptors in mammals, and dendritic cells as initiators of adaptive immunity.

Die 5. "Verhandlungen der Gesellschaft für Ökologie" enthalten die Vorträge der vom 22. bis 24. September 197 5 in Wien durchgeführten J ahrestagung. Schwer punktsmäßig behandeln die Referate alpine und arktische Ökosysteme, die ökologi schen und genetischen Voraussetzungen für das Leben in Trockengebieten sowie limnische Ökosysteme. Durch die Berücksichtigung der diese Systeme tangierenden IBP- und MAB-Forschungsprogramme liefern sie zugleich auch aktuelle Informa tionen über laufende Forschungsprojekte unserer Österreichischen und schweizer Kollegen. Struktudle und energetische Untersuchungen über einzelne Ökosysteme, Biozö nosen und Populationen stehen dabei im Vordergrund. Die vorgelegten Arbeiten verdeutlichen, daß jedes lebendige System über die Kenntnis seiner Struktur, Funk tion und Geschichte Informationen zu einem tieferen Verständnis des von ihm belebten Raumes liefert. Sie zeigen, daß letztlich jeder Suche nach "Belastungsindi katoren" und "ökologischen Kriterien" die Frage nach dem Informationsgehalt von Organismen und lebenden Systemen sowie deren Reaktionen auf endo- und exogene Faktoren zugrunde liegt. Sowohl aus Veränderungen der Areal- und Ökosysteme, als auch aus Wandlungen von Biozönosen und deren Reaktionen wurden Rückschlüsse auf die diese Veränderungen auslösenden Faktoren gezogen. Populationen und Bio zönosen reagieren naturgemäß nach eigenen Regeln, können jedoch nur existieren, wenn sie beständig auch Informationen über andere Komponenten aus ihrem Ver breitungsgebiet speichern und verarbeiten. Diese adaptiven Fähigkeiten der unter suchten Arten und Systeme sind jedoch noch weitgehend unbearbeitet. Hier klafft eine echte Lücke, die den Transfer ökologischer Daten z. B. in di. c Landesplanung erschwert. Die Qualität jeder Planung hängt weitgehend von den eingesetzten ökologischen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Erhebungsdaten ab.
