Overview: Closed-End Investment Companies (CEICs) were the dominant formof investment companies in the United States during the early part ofthis century, but interest in them declined after the 1929 stockmarket crash. Since 1985, however, there has been a significantrevival of interest in CEICs. .A substantial amount of academic research has focused on the nature ofclosed-end funds, discounts and premiums, and on the share pricebehavior of these firms, which often results in the prices differingfrom the net asset value of the shares. .This book is designed for the academic researcher interest

Overview: Background In July of 1992, approximately sixty scholars and researchers met for a week at the "Fritz Erler Akademie" in Freudenstadt, Germany, to participate in a workshop entitled "Cross-National Lon­ gitudinal Research on Human Development and Criminal Behavior". The participants represented 15 nations and 45 universities and research centers. Although longitudinal research in criminology has a long history, this workshop represented the first one in the field of criminology in which it was attempted to get together the main scholars in this field from around the world. The larges

The revolutionary iPS cell technology has made it possible to turn human skin and blood cells into pluripotent stem cells, thus providing an unprecedented opportunity to study the pathophysiology of diseases, understand human developmental biology, and generate new therapies. Drawing from a rich ethnographic study,

Overview: This anthology is devoted to the theoretical and experimental study of coherent phenomena in quantum optics. Considerable attention is devoted to the investigation of cooperative effects in multilevel molecular and atomic systems. The theoretical analysis is based on a single approach, using the theory of groups, which makes it possible to present the results in a compact and physically elegant form. The results of a detailed experimental and theoretical investigation of the photon echo, self-induced transparency, and nutation are presented. The theory of a coherent resonant mechanis

Overview: Provides a new account of time‘s arrow in light of relativity theory.Explains how God, being eternal, relates to our world, marked as it is by change and time.Combines insights from theoretical physicThis book has two aims; first, to provide a new account of time‘s arrow in light of relativity theory; second, to explain how God, being eternal, relates to our world, marked as it is by change and time..In part one, Saudek argues that time is not the expansive universal ‘wave‘ that is appears to be, but nor are we living in an unchanging block. Rather, time is real but local: there are
