"'Where in the world is the Philippines?' is a question that has been deftly and consistently dodged by our politicians at the expense of clearly defining the Philippines' territorial and maritime jurisdictions. Severino's scholarly work lays out what has happened in the past and what must be done in the future - and does so just as newly elected President Benigno S. Aquino begins his term in office. With the help of this timely and comprehensive study, it is imperative that Aquino and the Congress confront and resolve territorial issues once and for all." - Roberto R. Romulo, former Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines

The fundamental relations for non-linear thermovi co la ticity re developed using the continuum mechanics approach. The constitutive equations and the heat conduction equation ar derived. Wi h proper specializations, the equations for the thermoelastic solid, the thermoviscou fluid and other pecial classes of materials, hitherto not studied, are obtained. Although the general theory eveloped p rtains to a non-linear gener-ALIZATION OF THE Voigt-type aterial, the procedure may be used in the formulation of other theories of thermo-viscoelasticity. Extensions to the Rivlin-Ericksen theory of viscoelasticity and the Noll theory of hygrosteric materials are presented. (Author).

The first three critical angular velocities, omega 1, omega 2 and omega 3 for torsion-bar-springs having representative rectangular and circular cross sections are plotted versus length of spring. In order to make circular and rectangular cross-sections comparable, three cases have been chosen, each of which gives, for the designated geometries, equal angles of twist per unit length for equal twisting moments. It can be seen that the second critical angular velocity is somewhat greater than twice that of the first and that the third critical angular velocity is correspondingly higher; this points to the value of pre-shaping the spring to conform to a mode shape higher than the first. The importance of spring length in determining critical angular velocities is also apparent.

Privacy preserving data mining implies the "mining" of knowledge from distributed data without violating the privacy of the individual/corporations involved in contributing the data. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of available approaches, techniques and open problems in privacy preserving data mining. Crystallizing much of the underlying foundation, the book aims to inspire further research in this new and growing area. Privacy Preserving Data Mining is intended to be accessible to industry practitioners and policy makers, to help inform future decision making and legislation, and to serve as a useful technical reference.
