Hybrid Censoring: Models, Methods and Applications for Engineering and Bio Health focuses on hybrid censoring, a specific yet important topic in censoring methodology that has numerous applications. Readers will find information on the significance of censored data in theoretical and applied contexts and descriptions of extensive data sets from life-testing experiments where these forms of data naturally occur.

The existing literature on censoring methodology, life-testing procedures, or lifetime data analysis provides only hybrid censoring schemes, with little information...

Knowledge-for-development is under-theorised and under-researched within development studies, but as a set of policy objectives it is thriving within development practice. Donors and other agencies are striving to improve the flow of information within and between decision-makers and so-called poor and marginalized groups in order to promote economic and social development, including the empowerment of women. Gender, Power and Knowledge for Development questions the assumptions and practice of the knowledge-for-development industry.

Using a qualitative, multi-site...
