Physical Aspects of Stereotactic Radiosurgery
While I first proposed this booklet, one of many hopes used to be that it might be the level upon which might be carried out a quiet, good reasoned dialogue of many of the concepts of stereotactic radio surgical procedure. at the moment, there has been rather a lot of rancorous debate that tended to vague the clinical and scientific advantages of every of the separate equipment.

4: 28-74. Chapter 2 MODERN CARBONATE SEDIMENTS WILLIAM H. TAFT Department of Geology, University of South Florida, Tampa, Fla. ) SUMMARY Modern carbonate sediments are accumulating in almost all depositional environments except for the very deep oceans. Chemical and physical conditions, however, govern preservation and abundance of carbonate relative to non-carbonate material. Most modern marine carbonate sediments owe their origin to accumulation of bioclastic debris. Rarely can inorganic precipitation be actually proven.

Organisms, permanently attached to the sea bottom and possessing only slight tolerances to changes in chemical and physical environment, provide ideal working material for determination of isotopic composition in order to arrive at the temperature of depositional environment. Although there are a number of problems associated with interpreting stable isotope ratios of carbonate skeletons, nevertheless this technique is in its infancy and already a number of worth-while applications have been found.
