    Summary: This book presents a broad view of the ecology and behavior of aquatic insects, raising awareness of this conspicuous and yet little known fauna that inhabits inland waterbodies such as rivers, lakes and streams, and is particularly abundant and diverse in tropical ecosystems. The chapters address topics such as distribution, dispersal, territoriality, mating behavior, parental care and the role of sensory systems in the response to external and internal cues. In the context of ecology, it discusses aquatic insects as bio indicators that may be used to assess environmental disturbances, either in protected or urban areas, and provides insights into how genetic connectivity can support the development of novel conservation strategies. It also explores how aquatic insects can inspire solutions for various problems faced by modern society, presenting examples in the fields of material science, optics, sensorics and robotics.

    Abstract
    The accuracy of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of different pathological renal conditions is evaluated. Correlations were established to the findings on intravenous urography and selective angiography. Ultrasonography is suitable for the determination of the exact size and site of the kidney and, therefore, should be used routinely in the follow-up of renal transplant recipients. The ability to differentiate between solid and cystic lesions is of partcular value. Moreover, perirenal changes are easily recognizable. The limits of B-mode sonography lie in the interpretation of central expanding lesions with a diameter of under 3 cm. This non-invasive method should be used selectively in the diagnosis of renal disease, whereas angiography should be limited to the classification of equivocal ultrasound findings and in the case of solid tumours.
