Sommario/riassunto

This book is a follow-up to the IChemE symposium on "Neural Networks and Other Learning Technologies", held at Imperial College, UK, in May 1999. The interest shown by the participants, especially those from the industry, has been instrumental in producing the book. The papers have been written by contributors of the symposium and experts in this field from around the world. They present all the important aspects of neural network utilisation as well as show the versatility of neural networks in various aspects of process engineering problems - modelling, estimation, control, optimisation and

Sommario/riassunto

This Review was undertaken by the Networks of Ministry of Education HIV&AIDS Focal Point from countries in sub-Saharan Africa participating in the Accelerate Initiative, together with stakeholder and partner representatives.The education sector has become increasingly recognized as playing a key 'external' role in prevention and in reducing stigma, and an important 'internal' role in providing access to care, treatment and support for teachers and staff, a group that in



many countries represents more than 60% of the public sector workforce.In 2002, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV&AID
