What made me write this book was a feeling that students of international economics needed to fill out their knowledge of the theory with work on the practice of the major international economic organizations, many of which are having a growing influence on the national economies of their members. There was no single volume given over to a concise treatment of these organizations. The annual reports of the international organizations themselves can be consulted, of course, but as a rule these are not noted for being brief and to the point (the items of importance have to be fished out of a...

Drs. Stroobandt, Barold and Sinnaeve have developed this brand new guide to assist students, interns and residents in developing a functional understanding of the set–up, workings and interpretation of ECGs. Using their unique and unusual cartoon style step–by–step approach, with hundreds of 4–color illustrations, the guide illuminates key concepts and skills, and covers all cardiac abnormalities including hypertrophy, arrhythmias, conduction blocks, and pre–excitation syndromes.

The text comes complete with access to online practice tracings to help build...

Focuses on a much discussed and controversial aspect of conservation: the commodification of nature. Can the successful marketization of what is generally perceived as wilderness help to provide for biodiversity conservation, economic development and social emancipation? At a time of profound anxiety about the impact of human activity on nature and the catastrophic effects of climate change, the "sixth mass extinction", invasive species and rapidly expanding zoonotic diseases, this volume engages with the practices, discourses, and materialities surrounding the commodification of "the wild"....

The textbook contains thirteen chapters, each of which attempts to synthesize the research on a particular prominent theme in business anthropology. Further, we have tried to ensure that pioneering and key works are referenced, but space limitations prevent us from being able to adopt an all-inclusive approach. This is not intended to slight any researcher whose publication may be omitted. Indeed, some of our own close colleagues are included in this very company. However, an exhaustive review of all literature in the field is beyond the scope of this slender volume. Students are encouraged...

Deeply rooted in fundamental research in Mathematics and Computer Science, Cellular Automata (CA) are recognized as an intuitive modeling paradigm for Complex Systems. Already very basic CA, with extremely simple micro dynamics such as the Game of Life, show an almost endless display of complex emergent behavior. Conversely, CA can also be designed to produce a desired emergent behavior, using either theoretical methodologies or evolutionary techniques. Meanwhile, beyond the original realm of applications - Physics, Computer Science, and Mathematics - CA have also become work horses in very...

La arteriolopatia calcificante uremica es una complicacion poco frecuente de la enfermedad renal cronica (ERC), pero se asocia con una elevada tasa de mortalidad. Las alteraciones del metabolismo calcio-fosforo son la base para su desarrollo. Se requiere un alto indice de sospecha clinica para su diagnostico precoz y no siempre se asocia a hiperparatiroidismo secundario grave, imbricandose en su patogenia multiples factores. Existe la impresion de asistir en los ultimos tiempos a un incremento en los casos de arteriolopatia calcificante uremica, probablemente en relacion con un aumento en el...

This book contains up-to-date studies on the economics of sustainable energy in agriculture. The studies focus on energy efficiency improvement and the use of biomass. Specific attention is paid to the economic aspects of land use and the competition for land, both for food production and dedicated energy crops. The book will be of special interest to economists, agronomists, energy experts, and politicians that deal with energy issues in agriculture, both in developing and industrialised countries.

The book is relevant for those who are interested in the topic of global warming...

We are all under new pressure to produce more for less money--and in less time. Ultimately, this cannot be done unless bosses are able to--in service of their organization--bring out the best in their people.

That is the essence of servant-leadership, the management philosophy originally outlined by organizational expert Robert Greenleaf in the 1970s. It's a philosophy whose time has truly come.
