An Inquiry Into Well-Being and Destitution
ISBN: 9780198288350 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 680 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How should economic and social theory accommodate empirical facts about physical destitution, and how should governments respond to famines and hunger? This interdisciplinary book focuses on these and other questions about physical being. Dasgupta's aim here is to offer a description of destitution as it occurs among rural populations of the poor countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America; to give an account of the forces at work which perpetuate destitution, and to offer prescriptions for both the public and private spheres of life.
A central concern of the author has been to reconcile... How should economic and social theory accommodate empirical facts about physical destitution, and how should governments respond to famines and hunger...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: 22 dni roboczych Probability theory is one branch of mathematics that is simultaneously deep and immediately applicable in diverse areas of human endeavor. It is as fundamental as calculus. Calculus explains the external world, and probability theory helps predict a lot of it. In addition, problems in probability theory have an innate appeal, and the answers are often structured and strikingly beautiful. A solid background in probability theory and probability models will become increasingly more useful in the twenty-?rst century, as dif?cult new problems emerge, that will require more sophisticated models...

Second, it analyses the requirements outlined in Basel banking regulations over three decades and finds support for the propositions outlined in the developed framework in all...

Creativity from the Periphery: Trading Zones of Scientific Exchange in Colonial India
ISBN: 9780822946564 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Science is usually known by its most successful figures and resource-rich institutions. In stark contrast, Creativity from the Periphery draws our attention to unknown figures in science - those who remain marginalized, even neglected, within its practices. Researchers in early twentieth-century colonial India, for example, have made significant contributions to the stock of scientific knowledge and have provided science with new breakthroughs and novel ideas, but to little acclaim. As Deepanwita Dasgupta argues, sometimes the best ideas in science are born from difficult and resource-poor...

ISBN: 9783659201868 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Antioxidants are chemical compounds that neutralize the effects of oxidation caused due to free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during metabolic processes in living system.Antioxidants are an inhibitor of the process of oxidation, even at relatively small concentration and thus have diverse physiological role in the body. Antioxidant constituents of the plant material act as radical scavengers, and helps in converting the radicals to less reactive species. A variety of free radical scavenging antioxidants is found in dietary sources like fruits, vegetables and tea,...
