EXPLANATORY NOTES GENERAL lia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and the United States, thestem Country/area nomenclature and regional groups used in the volume for all living trees has been used for the volume figure Some variation as to the minimum diameter applied is reported The country/area names and order used in these tables follow in ECE/FAO (2000) standard UN practice regarding

The medicinal use of plants has been discovered more than 2000 years ago. Greek physician Dioscorides described the use of opium, in which morphine is the main component. In 1806, morphine was isolated from opium. In 1820, quinine was isolated from the bark of the cinchona tree

Epidemiology of CHD Prevalence CHD occurs in 0.5-0.8% of live births; The incidence is higher among stillborns 死产(3-4%), abortuses流产(10-25%),and premature infants (about 2% excluding PDA); About 2-3 in 1,000 newborn infants will be symptomatic with heart disease in the first year of life

Purulent Meningitis Acute infection of central nervous system(CNS). 90% of cases occur in the age of 1 mo-5yr. The inflammation of meninges caused by various bacteria. Common features in clinical practices include: fever, increased intracranial pressure, meningeal irritation

In the chapter we shall present an introduction to nonlinear circuit analysis and shall examine a few interesting examples of that are used in practice. The principle of analysis will be emphasized. Graphical solution techniques will be given first. In addition, the basic concept of the phase plane shall be considered

In the chapter we first shall consider the nodal analysis and introduce the networks containing dependent sources. In addition later in the chapter we shall consider state(状态)- variable analysis

In this chapter we will extend the concepts which have been presented in the preceding chapter so as to develop general methods of phasor analysis for circuits which are under conditions of sinusoidal steady-state excitation. The methods are very similar to those for resistance circuits which were presented in Chap.2
