Overview: Over the past 50 years many in vitro and in vivo drug response assay systems have been developed to determine the potential - tivity of chemotherapy agents. The idea was to eliminate ineffective agents and unnecessary toxic treatment while selecting drugs active in vitro or in the mouse model that might increase the probability of response in the patient. None of these test models, however, achieved routine clinical application in the past. This might be at least in part - lated to large discrepancies that were described between the s- cess rate of the assay systems and the clinical

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .The information infrastructure - comprising computers, embedded devices, networks and software systems - is vital to day-to-day operations in every sector: information and telecommunications, banking and finance, energy, chemicals and hazardous materials, agriculture, food, water, public health, emergency services, transportation, postal and shipping, government and defense.  Global business and industry, governments, indeed society itself, cannot function effectively if major components of the critical information infrastructure are degraded, disabl

Overview: Through a policy and legal analysis, this book shows how corruption facilitates money laundering, and vice versa. Furthermore, it demonstrates specifically how the responses developed to combat one type of financial crime can productively be employed in fighting the other.978-1-349-37827-2978-0-230-62245-6Series ISSN 2945-6754 Series E-ISSN 2945-6762

Overview: Comprehensive overview of the history of sexual selection from Darwin to today.Presents current debates about the relevance of sexual selection in behavioral ecology.Includes special sections on socia.This root-and-branch re-evaluation of Darwin’s concept of sexual selection tackles the subject from historical, epistemological and theoretical perspectives. Contributions from a wealth of disciplines have been marshaled for this volume, with key figures in behavioural ecology, philosophy, and the history of science adding to its wide-ranging relevance. Updating the reader on the debate

Overview: Throughout the history of economics, a variety of analytical tools have been borrowed from the so-called exact sciences. As Schoe?er (1955) puts it: “They have taken their mathematics and their ded- tive techniques from physics, their statistics from genetics and agr- omy, their systems of classi?cation from taxonomy and chemistry, their model-construction techniques from astronomy and mechanics, and their methods of analysis of the consequences of actions from en- neering”. The possibility of similarities of structure in mathematical models of economic and physical systems has been

Overview: Provides a unique view on “creating shared value” by offering interdisciplinary contributions to its theoretical, conceptual and practical aspects.Connects and highlights the multidimensional aspects .Over the last years, “Creating Shared Value” has become a much discussed concept in business practice as well as in management theory and especially in the context of corporate social responsibility. This book offers a contribution to the current academic discussions on the well-received article of Michael Porter and Marc Kramer in Harvard Business Review in 2011. In the light of the in

Overview: Discusses how governments can implement climate resilience strategies whilst protecting the natural system.Argues for adaptable climate resilient water resources management.Lays out the effects climatThe effects of climate change are beginning to impact water quantity and water quality across the globe. However, there is no single action or strategy that any government can implement to ensure a community is resilient to climate change-related extreme weather events while also protecting the natural system. Instead, Robert Brears argues, climate resilient water resources management re

Overview: Explores new dimensions in the economic crisis management.Provides new economic models and paradigm developments.Features country specific case studies.This book presents economic research on global paradigm shifts after the COVID-19 crisis. It explores some expected deep and long-lasting changes that are building up a “new normal”. Featuring select contributions presented at the 2021 International Conference of Economic Scientific Research - Theoretical, Empirical and Practical Approaches (ESPERA), this book explores topics such as digitalization and digital sovereignty, workforce m

Overview: Suggests best practice guidelines for assessing capacity to assist with assessments.Outlines the guiding principles to help legal and medical practitioners assess capacity.Comparison of international .This book discusses theoretical issues, standards, and professional considerations arising when legal and health practitioners undertake legal capacity assessments in the context of wills, enduring powers of attorney and advance health directives. The potential loss of cognition can erode autonomy as individuals lose the ability to make their own legally recognised decisions. This is an

Overview: Printing and imaging has a major impact on everyone. From the obvious examples of newspapers, magazines and comics through to photographs, currency and credit cards, and even the less obvious example of compact discs, everyone is familiar with the end products of printing and imaging. Until recently, the major printing and imaging technologies have been impact printing and silver halide photography. Important impact printing technologies are offset lithography, gravure, flexography and screen printing. All these technologies, including silver halide photography, are mature and have c

Overview: The selection of prolactin as the subject of the Midwest Con­ ference on Endocrinology was not only dictated by the recent ad­ vances in prolactin research but also by the long tradition in that particular area of Endocrinology in the laboratory of C.W. Turner at the University of Missouri. Therefore, it seems only appropri­ ate that these proceedings of the Tenth Midwest Conference on En­ docrinology are dedicated to the memory of this scientist, deceased in August 1975 before completion of this volume, whose pioneer in­ vestigations have contributed substantially to the advancement
