  • International Comparisons of Prices, Output and Productivity

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 231
    • J. Salazar-Carrillo + 1 more
    • English
    The present volume provides a timely collection of material on the subject of international comparisons, contributed by leading scholars from an extensive range of relevant disciplines and geographical backgrounds. The papers in this volume have been classified into two broad groups united by overlapping themes. Part I includes essentially empirical papers intended to provide a clear picture of the different types of international comparisons that have been undertaken by various organizations and individuals. The papers relate to empirical studies of different sectoral and national income aggregates at both regional and global levels. The papers in Part II deal with methodological and analytical issues. Discussion of the appropriateness of various aggregation methods for international comparisons accounts for a major component of this section.The volume provides a set of stimulating studies on international comparisons of prices, output and productivity, and will provide a useful reference source for many interested readers around the world.

  • Pathology in Marine Science

    • 1st Edition
    • Frank O. Perkins + 1 more
    • English
    Pathology in Marine Science contains the majority of papers presented at the Third International Colloquium on Pathology in Marine Aquaculture held in Gloucester Point, Virginia, USA in October 1988. The book serves as a record of the progress of concerted research in marine pathobiology and also as a useful reference tool. The compendium consists of contributions that are reflective of the subdisciplines of the biological sciences that are of immediate concern to investigators interested in pathology in marine aquaculture. Topics discussed include viruses, bacterioses, mycoses, protozoan diseases, metazoan parasitic diseases, toxicological syndromes, teratological and neoplastic diseases, epidemiology/epizoot... nutritional pathology, and immunology. Marine scientists, aquaculturists, and researchers on marine life science will find the text useful.

  • Immunological Methods

    • 1st Edition
    • Bozzano G Luisa
    • English
    Immunological Methods, Volume II compiles procedures that are appropriate for studies in immunology. This book discusses the determination of equilibrium binding parameters of monoclonal antibodies specific for cell surface antigens; two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; and measurements of antibodies specific for DNA. The methods in surface physics for immunology; HLA-DR typing by complement-dependent B lymphocyte lysis; and protein A plaque assay for the detection of immunoglobulin-secre... cells are also elaborated. This text also covers the in vitro production and testing of antigen-induced mediators of helper T-cell function; limiting dilution analysis of precursors of cytotoxic T lymphocytes; and induction of antibody formation in mouse bone marrow. Other topics include the long-term culture and cloning of specific helper T cells; cloning of alloreactive T cells; and enzyme immunoassay for the detection of hybridoma products. This publication is valuable to immunologists and medical practitioners researching on immunological methods.

  • Handbook of Safeguarding Global Financial Stability

    Political, Social, Cultural, and Economic Theories and Models
    • 1st Edition
    • Gerard Caprio
    • English
    Political and social forces exert pressure on our globalized economy in many forms, from formal and informal policies to financial theories and technical models. Our efforts to shape and direct these forces to preserve financial stability reveal much about the ways we perceive the financial economy. The Handbook of Safeguarding Global Financial Stability examines our political economy, particularly the ways in which these forces inhabit our institutions, strategies, and tactics. As economies expand and contract, these forces also determine the ways we supervise and regulate. This high-level examination of the global political economy includes articles about specific countries, crises, and international systems as well as broad articles about major concepts and trends.

  • The Evidence and Impact of Financial Globalization

    • 1st Edition
    • Gerard Caprio
    • English
    The sharp realities of financial globalization become clear during crises, when winners and losers emerge. Crises usher in short- and long-term changes to the status quo, and everyone agrees that learning from crises is a top priority. The Evidence and Impact of Financial Globalization devotes separate articles to specific crises, the conditions that cause them, and the longstanding arrangements devised to address them. While other books and journal articles treat these subjects in isolation, this volume presents a wide-ranging, consistent, yet varied specificity. Substantial, authoritative, and useful, these articles provide material unavailable elsewhere.

  • Handbook of Key Global Financial Markets, Institutions, and Infrastructure

    • 1st Edition
    • Gerard Caprio
    • English
    Understanding twenty-first century global financial integration requires a two-part background. The Handbook of Key Global Financial Markets, Institutions, and Infrastructure begins its description of how we created a financially-intergra... world by first examining the history of financial globalization, from Roman practices and Ottoman finance to Chinese standards, the beginnings of corporate practices, and the advent of efforts to safeguard financial stability. It then describes the architecture itself by analyzing its parts, such as markets, institutions, and infrastructure. The contributions of sovereign funds, auditing regulation, loan markets, property rights, compensation practices, Islamic finance, and others to the global architecture are closely examined. For those seeking substantial, authoritative descriptions and summaries, this volume will replace books, journals, and other information sources with a single, easy-to-use reference work.

  • Quantitative Data Processing in Scanning Probe Microscopy

    SPM Applications for Nanometrology
    • 1st Edition
    • Petr Klapetek
    • English
    Accurate measurement at the nano-scale – nanometrology – is a critical tool for advanced nanotechnology applications, where exact quantities and engineering precision are beyond the capabilities of traditional measuring techniques and instruments. Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) builds up a picture of a specimen by scanning with a physical probe; unrestrained by the wavelength of light or electrons, the resolution obtainable with this technique can resolve atoms. SPM instruments include the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). Despite tremendous advances in Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) over the last twenty years, its potential as a quantitative measurement tool have not been fully realized, due to challenges such as the complexity of tip/sample interaction. In this book, Petr Klapetek uses the latest research to unlock SPM as a toolkit for nanometrology in fields as diverse as nanotechnology, surface physics, materials engineering, thin film optics, and life sciences. Klapetek's considerable experience of Quantitive Data Processing, using software tools, enables him to not only explain the microscopy techniques, but also to demystify the analysis and interpretation of the data collected. In addition to the essential principles and theory of SPM metrology, Klapetek provides readers with a number of worked examples to demonstrate typical ways of solving problems in SPM analysis. Source data for the examples as well as most of the described open source software tools are available on a companion website.

  • Handbook of Computable General Equilibrium Modeling

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 1B
    • Peter B. Dixon + 1 more
    • English
    In this collection of 16 articles, top scholars synthesize and analyze scholarship on this widely used tool of policy analysis, setting forth its accomplishments, difficulties, and means of implementation. Though CGE modeling does not play a prominent role in top US graduate schools, it is employed universally in the development of economic policy. This collection is particularly important because it presents a history of modeling applications and examines competing points of view.
