Book provides excellent discussion of measures and ROI.......2002-05-03

This is the second Essentials book I purchased in the series and I can't rave enough about them. In my management position in one of the top financial industries, I need to understand what is going on but I don't need the technical details so many other books get into. These book provide great coverage on important topics -- they really help be to understand. I heard about and had a slight grasp on the use of ROI and other measures from my work, but I didn't really understand it until I read this book. A must have for any professional--I'm recommending it to my colleagues too!

Book Description

Some scholars argue that the free movement of capital across borders enhances welfare; others claim it represents a clear peril, especially for emerging nations. In Capital Controls and Capital Flows in Emerging Economies, an esteemed group of contributors examines both the advantages and the pitfalls of restricting capital mobility in these emerging nations.

In the aftermath of the East Asian currency crises of 1997, the authors consider mechanisms that eight countries have used to control capital inflows and evaluate their effectiveness in altering the maturity of the resulting external debt and reducing macroeconomic vulnerability. This volume is essential reading for all those interested in emerging nations and the costs and benefits of restricting international capital flows.

Book Description

In this challenging volume, distinguished economists evaluate capital control and capital account liberalization choices facing policymakers in emerging market economies. These issues are explored within the context of economic efficiency, economic structure, and political consequences. Critically assessing traditional positions on the timing and degree of liberalization of trade and capital flows, the contributors also consider newer arguments from the fields of public choice, financial economics, and industrial organizations.

Book Description

Claire Cutler's critical analysis of the role that international economic law plays in the creation and maintenance of global power relations examines the historical and contemporary evolution of merchant law. She concludes that private interests have governed global economic relations through practices that are little understood. Interdisciplinary in scope, this study draws upon international relations and law, international political economy and political and legal theories. It will be an important first step toward developing a critical understanding of the political foundations of transnational merchant law.

Book Description

The basic purpose of this book is to describe the relative value of each method of improving various agricultural crops by using parasexual techniques. While no book can be a complete source of all the information on a subject, a range of topics were selected to highlight the recent developments in mutagenesis (conventional approach and molecular biology) and in vitro induced variation in plant breeding. We have deliberately kept short the title of this book, simply emphasizing somaclonal variation and induced mutation. This book is divided into three sections. Section 1 contains 13 chapters mainly on somaclonal variation (SCV), covering SCV in crop improvement, SCV in ornamentals, cereals and forage grasses, banana, and forest trees, cytogenetic basis of SCV, in vitro selection, gametoclonal variation, protoclonal variation, and solanaceous medicinal plants. Section 2 deals with induced mutation, and is covered in 10 chapters mainly on mutagenesis in sugarcane, fruit trees, apomixsis, ornamental plants, disease resistance, cereals and legumes, and vegetatively propagated plants. Section 3 describes the molecular aspects of mutagenesis and somaclonal variation, insertional mutagenesis (T-DNA mutagenesis, transposons), and molecular methods for identifying somaclonal variation, RAPD markers in banana somaclones, and transgene expression.

Book Description

Physical and Chemical Kinetics concludes the three-volume set of Physical Chemistry, Second Edition, by R. Stephen Berry, Stuart A. Rice, and John Ross (OUP 2000). With the same precision and efficiency as the other two volumes, Physical and Chemical Kinetics discusses the elements of physical and chemical kinetics and presents advanced discussions of unimolecular reactions, kinetics of photochemically induced reactions, chain reactions, nonlinear phenomena, fluctuations in chemical kinetics, symmetry rules for chemical reactions, catalysis, and the kinetics of electrode reactions. Up-to-date and thorough, this valuable reference provides the cutting-edge information and theory that today's students and researchers need to understand past scientific accomplishments as well as to make future contributions to the field of physical chemistry.

Book Description

A rollicking tale of Dublin life in 1954.

Customer Reviews:

Cockles and Mussels.......2001-07-18

Cockles and Mussels is a story of life in Dublin in the 50s.It depicts a week in the life of a medical student just prior to graduating as a doctor. It is a rollicking tale of Bob Shannon's difficulties with the authorities and with the Catholic Church. Told in the idiom of the time, it is at times uproariously funny and at others serious and even sad. The heroine is who else but Molly Malone whose statue now stands at the bottom of Grafton Street. There is no statue YET to Bob Shannon!

Description:
The content and distribution of n-alkane (C"8-C"3"5) and isoprenoid (pristane and phytane) hydrocarbons were investigated in two species of bivalve mollusk, mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and cockle (Cerastoderma edule), collected at different points of the Galicia littoral zone during the period from December 2002 to February 2003 (after the Prestige oil spill). Samples were analyzed by high-resolution gas chromatography equipped with a flame ionization detector. The highest levels were found in mussels and cockles coming from two estuarine bays, Rias de Arousa and Vigo. Hydrocarbons with carbon chain length >30 were detected and determined in all samples. The abundance of these hydrocarbons in biota could be interpreted with regard to the feeding and living habits. Chemometric techniques have been employed to analyze data and determine the potential source of hydrocarbon contamination. Differences between mussels and cockles were observed in relation to aliphatic content. According to the data analysis, the main source of hydrocarbon contamination of investigated samples seems to be more related to the intense traffic of vessels in these estuarine bays than to the Prestige oil spill.
