It demonstrates that a better policy framework requires reliable indicators of vulnerability to financial instability, as well as improved policy tools and automatic stabilizers that anticipate and limit the vulnerabilities to financial...

Integrated circuit design for biomedical applications requires an interdisciplinary background, ranging from electrical engineering to material engineering to computer science. This book is written to help build the foundation for researchers, engineers, and students to further develop their interest and knowledge in this field. This book provides an overview of various biosensors by introducing fundamental building blocks for integrated biomedical systems. State-of-the-art projects for various applications and experience in developing these systems are explained in detail. Future design...

This book starts with the question of what conditions make North Korea choose between confrontation and collaboration toward the United States. In order to answer the question, we examine the five cases related to Pyongyang's nuclear and missile diplomacy with the U.S. from 1992 to 2002, employing prospect theory combined with human needs theory.
