This book provides an account of work in the Schumpeterian and evolutionary tradition of industrial dynamics and the evolution of industries. It is shown that over time industries evolve and change their structure. In this dynamic process, change is affected and sometimes constraint by many factors, including knowledge and technologies, the capabilities and incentives of actors, new products and processes, and institutions.
The interaction between mathematicians and statisticians reveals to be an effective approach to the analysis of insurance and financial problems, in particular in an operative perspective. The Maf2006 conference, held at the University of Salerno in 2006, had precisely this purpose and the collection published here gathers some of the papers presented at the conference and successively worked out to this aim. They cover a wide variety of subjects in insurance and financial fields.
Drawing on a wide range of literature and on interviews with firms, this book explores issues of economic growth with a focus on six East Asian cities: Bangkok, Beijing, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo. It suggests how policies and institutions can induce and furnish an urban environment that supports innovative activities. A valuable resource for researchers, urban planners, urban geographers, and policy makers interested in East Asia.
This two-volume set LNCS 14465-14466 constitutes the proceedings of the 31st International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization, GD 2023, held in Isola delle Femmine, Palermo, Italy, in September 2023. The 31 full papers, 7 short papers, presented together with 2 invited talks, and one contest report, were thoroughly reviewed and selected from the 100 submissions. The abstracts of 11 posters presented at the conference can be found in the back matter of the volume. The contributions were organized in topical sections as follows: beyond planarity; crossing numbers; linear layouts; geometric aspects; visualization challenges; graph representations; graph decompositions; topological aspects; parameterized complexity for drawings; planar graphs; frameworks; algorithmics.
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD 2009, held in Chicago, USA, during September 2009. The 31 revised full papers and 4 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected out of 79 submissions. Furthermore, 10 posters were accepted in a separate submission process.
This book is aimed at managerial decision makers, practitioners in any field, and the academic community. The chapter authors have integrated theory with evidence-based practice to go beyond merely explaining cybersecurity topics. To accomplish this, the editors drew upon the combined cognitive intelligence of 46 scholars from 11 countries to present the state of the art in cybersecurity. Managers and leaders at all levels in organizations around the globe will find the explanations and suggestions useful for understanding cybersecurity risks as well as formulating strategies to mitigate future problems. Employees will find the examples and caveats both interesting as well as practical for e...
Dynamics of Socio Economic Systems (DySES) is an organization created initially by a group of Argentinian Scientists, directed by Prof. Araceli Noemi Proto, about 15 years ago, as an umbrella organization to encourage interdisciplinary research on socio-economic systems in general. Since then, the group has been enlarged by researchers coming from all over the world. The scope of DySES conferences has always been rather largely defined. In general the main emphasis has been on interdisciplinary collaborations and on new techniques capable of describing and predicting future behavior of socio-economic systems. Typically, methods have been discussed, that could be used to assist in decision-ma...
There's a simple, straightforward way to cut carbon emissions and prevent the most disastrous effects of climate change-and we're rejecting it because of irrational political fears. That's the central argument of The Case for a Carbon Tax, a clear-eyed, sophisticated analysis of climate change policy. Shi-Ling Hsu examines the four major approaches to curbing CO2: cap-and-trade; command and control regulation; government subsidies of alternative energy; and carbon taxes. Weighing the economic, social, administrative, and political merits of each, he demonstrates why a tax is currently the most effective policy. Hsu does not claim that a tax is the perfect or only solution-but that unlike the alternatives, it can be implemented immediately and paired effectively with other approaches. In fact, the only real barrier is psychological. While politicians can present subsidies and cap-and-trade as "win-win" solutions, the costs of a tax are immediately apparent. Hsu deftly explores the social and political factors that prevent us from embracing this commonsense approach. And he shows why we must get past our hang-ups if we are to avert a global crisis.
Get an In-Depth Understanding of Graph Drawing Techniques, Algorithms, Software, and ApplicationsThe Handbook of Graph Drawing and Visualization provides a broad, up-to-date survey of the field of graph drawing.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Algorithms and Computation, WALCOM 2008, held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in February 2008. The 19 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The papers feature original research in the areas of algorithms and data structures, combinatorial algorithms, graph drawings and graph algorithms, parallel and distributed algorithms, string algorithms, computational geometry, graphs in bioinformatics and computational biology. The papers are organized in topical sections on bioinformatics algorithms, computational geometry and graph drawing, graph algorithms, and algorithm engineering.
