Strong Medicine: Creating Incentives for Pharmaceutical Research on Neglected Diseases

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Millions of people in the third world die from diseases that are rare in the first world--diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, and schistosomiasis. AIDS, which is now usually treated in rich countries, still ravages the world`s poor. Vaccines offer the best hope for controlling these diseases and could dramatically improve health in poor countries. But developers have little incentive to undertake the costly and risky research needed to develop vaccines. This is partly because the potential consumers are poor, but also because governments drive down prices. In Strong Medicine , Michael Kremer and Rachel Glennerster offer an innovative yet simple solution to this worldwide problem: `Pull` programs to stimulate research. Here`s how such programs would work. Funding agencies would commit to purchase viable vaccines if and when they were developed. This would create the incentives for vaccine developers to produce usable products for these neglected diseases. Private firms,… [detailed...]

Strong family and low fertility:a paradox? : New perspectives in interpreting contemporary family and reproductive behaviour (European Studies of Population)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description This book is the first one to be devoted to the analysis and interpretation of the lowest low fertility in the Southern part of Europe. It presents a comparative viewpoint and enables the readers to understand the peculiarities of a demographic situation that has characterized a vast part of Europe over the past three decades. The book places a particular emphasis on the cultural keywords, i.e. the connection between strong family ties and fertility. The observation of the European geography of the strong family and that of low fertility at the end of the twentieth century renders surprising coincidences. It is no simple task to clarify the behavioural processes underlying this geographical correspondence. This volume contains two different possible interpretations, which, though departing from similar premises, lead to quite distinct conclusions. This volume is of interest to demographers and social scientists, as well as to… [detailed...]

International financial institutions and the governments of the less developed countries play the major roles in determining the success of this restructuring. International institutions, through structural adjustment loans (SALs), provide both impetus and guidance to developing countries. The governments must provide a process of stabilization to precede structural adjustment, if it is to succeed. Economists and scholars in developmental, regional, and financial economics will find this work a fine addition to their research and collections. [detailed...]

Structural Challenges for Europe (Published in Association With Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Austria)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionRecalling the Lisbon strategy defining structural reform in the EU, and stressing the need to integrate the acceding countries in the reform process, this book argues that meeting the ambitious challenges set is not impossible. It scrutinizes both reforms already undertaken and those yet to be tackled. The main thrust of the book is that the sharing of mutual experiences is important for generating an acceptable policy mix, both at EU and national levels. The contributors highlight key financial issues, including the role of FDI and of foreign banks in the still ?under-banked? acceding countries, the re-launch of social security systems and the fiscal challenges of financing the catch-up process. They also examine the ongoing EU debate surrounding the application of the Stability and Growth Pact in Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) and go on to explore the contrasting evidence that some CEECs have shown more extensive privatization efforts… [detailed...]

Structural Change in European Border Zone Agglomerations

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This study is an investigation of the transformation of the economic structure of two border city regions, Saarbrucken and Copenhagen. The reason for a comparative analysis is that they have a similar industrial background that was declining and accompanied by the rise of the service sector in the second half of the 20th century. This decline of industry also brought a transformation of the economic structure as well as new branches of economic activity. The transformation process accelerated and the economic development differed in the respective cases for the last two decades. The fact that regions can induce dynamism in economy via developments if they create attractive conditions for capital and highly educated labour force has been observed. In addition to that, the shared characteristic as being part of a cross border agglomeration and their potential to integrate with the cities in their neighbouring countries France and Sweden is also part of the investigation.

Structural Dynamic Systems Computational Techniques and Optimization: Dynamic Analysis and Control Techniques (Gordon and Breach International Series in Engineering, Technology and Applied Science)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: There are various techniques to optimize either structural parameters, or structural controllers, but there are not many techniques that can simultaneously optimize the structural parameters and controller. The advantage of integrating the structural andcontroller optimization problems is that structure and controller interaction is taken into account in the design process and a more efficient overall design (lower control force/lighter weight) can be achieved, and also multidisciplinary design optimization can be performed. The down side is that the combined optimization problem is more difficult to formulate and solve, and computations are increased. This volume is a comprehensive treatment of dynamic analysis and control techniques in structural dynamic systems and the wide variety of issues and techniques that fall within this broad area, including the interactions between structural control systems and structural system parameters.

Description: Nonlinear structural dynamic systems which are multi-degree of freedom systems involve, for instance, matrix dynamic equilibrium equations, which can be of various order up to very high order. In these equations, the nonlinear quantities can be dependenton time and other terms, such as scalar variables, which are dependent on time. Frequency response and response time derivatives would also, of course, be involved. Nonlinear terms can account for dissipative phenomena and can be due to other physical phenomena. In fact, many engineering structures involve time-dependent properties such as, stiffness elements of specific structural components which can change according to the stress level. Other examples of dynamic elements of nonlinear structural systems can include system mass and damping distribution elements which evolve with time, such as railway or highway bridges and other structures, which interact with external agencies generating the system motion (for example, trains, a… [detailed...]

Structural Economics: Measuring Change in Technology, Lifestyles, and the Environment

Publisher: —
Description: In all societies, the main causes of environmental degradation are resource extraction and the generation of wastes by households and industries. Realistic strategies for mitigating these impacts require an understanding of both the technologies by which resources are transformed into products, and the lifestyle choices that shape household use of such products. Structural Economics provides a framework for developing and evaluating such strategies. It represents an important new approach to describing household lifestyles and technological choices, the relationships between them, and their impact on resource use and waste. In this volume, economist Faye Duchin provides for the first time an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to the field,including its social as well as its technological dimensions. The presentation is accessible to non-specialists while also including a substantial amount of new research. Duchin`s primary achievement is to integrate a qualitatively… [detailed...]
