GLOBAL DIMENSIONS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

We live today in a world in which the economic health of nations and the competitiveness of firms is determined largely by the ability to develop, commercialize, and most importantly, to appropriate (or capture) the economic benefits from scientific and technological (S&T) innovations. Intellectual property rights (IPRs), such as patents and copyrights, are an important means used by firms to h…

Oracle PL/SQL Programming

Oracle’s reference manuals may describe all the features of the PL/SQL language, but they don’t tell you how to apply the technology. In fact, in some cases, you’ll be lucky to even understand how to use a given feature after you’ve made your way through the railroad diagrams. Books and training courses tend to cover the same standard topics in the same limited way. In this book, I’ll…

Japan's Growing Technological Capability

The growing Japanese role in high technology raises a number of questions for the United States. Some of these questions relate to the current status of the two countries, for example, in what industries do Japanese firms hold technologies more advanced than their U.S. rivals? Are there industries in which U.S. firms still lead but are under serious challenge by Japanese firms? Are there sector…

Cleaner-Energy Investments

Clean energy is the flavor of the times. With a view to bringing the phrase closer to reality, I would prefer to refer to it in relative terms as Cleaner Energy. Investors have had divergent views of the sector: from being a genuine business opportunity, especially when attractive preferential tariffs are on offer, to a peripheral activity that helped “green wash” other business operations.…

Parallel Programming with Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2010 Step by Step

Parallel programming truly redefines the programming model for multicore architecture, which has become commonplace. For this reason, parallel programming has been elevated to a core technology in the Microsoft .NET Framework 4. In this version of the .NET Framework, the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and the System.Threading.Tasks namespace contain the parallel programming implementation. Microso…

OOP – Learn Object Oriented Thinking and Programming

In this part you will hear the explanation what does it mean the object oriented programming, then we shall exploit the fact that the used development environment enables working in an interactive mode in which the user becomes one of the program objects and can communicate with other objects. In this mode I will show you the most important rules of cooperation with individual objects that crea…

Can Economic Growth Be Sustained

Yujiro Hayami and Vernon Ruttan worked well together; they did so because they had a profound respect for each other. That respect was the bridge to listening and thinking together in ways that allowed them to build an important theoretical perspective referred to as the “most widely accepted model used today both for understanding agricultural growth processes and as the basis for agricultur…

Building Innovative Teams

This book is based on my experiences of working within, and hands-on building of, innovative teams over the past 20 years. It also draws on the knowledge of executives, consultants and scholars, who have helped me develop and lead high performance innovative teams over those years. It gleans from the successes and indeed the deficiencies in real-world innovation programmes in some of the most c…

Perl and XML

XML is a text-based markup language that has taken the programming world by storm. More powerful than HTML yet less demanding than SGML, XML has proven itself to be flexible and resilient. XML is the perfect tool for formatting documents with even the smallest bit of complexity, from Web pages to legal contracts to books. However, XML has also proven itself to be indispensable for organizing an…

The first question we may face is: “Another Calculus book?” We feel that the an- swer is quite simple. As long as students find mathematics and particularly calcu- lus a scary subject, as long as the failure rate in mathematics is higher than in all other subjects, except maybe among students who take it as a major in College and as long as a large majority of the people mistakenly believe …

Banking with Integrity

In medicine, an illness is diagnosed by reading signs and symptoms. One way for the doctor to gain a higher degree of confidence in the diagnosis is to check whether there is a family history of similar conditions. In addition, the doctor can examine people who live in similar conditions yet who are not ill (if available). Such people can help the doctor assess, through comparison to the patien…

AESTHETICS AS PHENOMENOLOGY

This is a book about the experience of art. As the title Aesthetics as Phenomenology suggests, Günter Figal takes a phenomenological approach to aesthetic experience, rendering an account of what unifies it and distinguishes it from other experiences. In taking this approach, he aims to avoid the many pitfalls and dead ends of prior aesthetic theories, which in his view have either failed to …

Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis

This book is concerned with signal analysis in its broadest sense. Usually, signals are modeled as functions in suitable spaces such as L2, the space of square integrable functions, or Sobolev spaces. Signals might be given explicitly as, for example, in image analysis or implicitly, as solutions of operator equations. In either case, the problem of interest is to analyze and process these sign…

Advances in Algebraic Quantum Field Theory

Relativistic quantum field theory was conceived in the late 1920s as a framework unifying the two fundamental theories that revolutionized physics in the twentieth century: Quantum Mechanics and the Special Theory of Relativity. Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT) is relativistic quantum field theory regarded from a certain perspective, emphasizing localization of observables in space and tim…
