In recent years, we have seen massive fines and penalties dished out to almost every major bank in the world for breaking the law. Yet these banks are considered ‘too big to indict’ in today’s world, due to the threat of destabilizing the financial system... Double Standards travels 25 years back to explore the story of a bank, with roots in the Middle East, that rose to prominence and became the fastest-growing bank in the world. It was called the Bank of Credit & Commerce International, known as BCCI, and became the 4th largest bank in the world by 1991. It became the bridge between the Third World and the West and at its height was bailing out governments in developing countries, li...
Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry II (CCC II) is the sequel to what has become a classic in the field, Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry, published in 1987. CCC II builds on the first and surveys new developments authoritatively in over 200 newly comissioned chapters, with an emphasis on current trends in biology, materials science and other areas of contemporary scientific interest.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 5th International Workshop of the Initiative for the Evaluation of XML Retrieval, INEX 2006, held at Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in December 2006. The papers are organized in topical sections on methodology and seven additional tracks on ad-hoc, natural language processing, heterogeneous collection, multimedia, interactive, use case, as well as document mining.
The three reviews cover the advances in the chemistry and biology of withanolides over the last 16 years, review the chemistry and biology of the rocaglamide-type derivatives and related compounds, with emphasis on their structural diversity, biosynthesis, pharmacological significance and total synthesis, and summarize the extensive chemistry and biology studies on a natural product, which have resulted in a novel therapy approved worldwide.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Machine Learning and Data Mining in Pattern Recognition, MLDM 2011, held in New York, NY, USA. The 44 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 170 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on classification and decision theory, theory of learning, clustering, application in medicine, webmining and information mining; and machine learning and image mining.
This book is focused on clarifying the anticancer effects (i.e., apoptotic, antiproliferative, antimetastatic, antiangiogenic) and mechanisms of most of the medicinal plants found in the world against solid and/or hematological cancers.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Workshop of the Initiative for the Evaluation of XML Retrieval, INEX 2007, held at Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in December 2007. The 37 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for presentation at the workshop from 50 initial submissions. The papers are organized in an ad hoc track and 6 topical sections on book search, XML-mining, entity ranking, interactive, link-the-wiki, and multimedia.
Chitosan-based hybrid nanomaterials for environmental remediation focuses on chitosan, an abundantly occurring biopolymer, to present possibilities for the removal of contaminants and a greener approach towards a cleaner environment – combining nanotechnology with the deployment of naturally occurring materials to remedy environmental challenges. This book fills up research gaps, and the knowledge lagging in the context of chitosan-based nanomaterials. Considering the importance of naturally occurring materials with the applied knowledge of nanotechnology in the field of environmental restoration Covers properties, synthesis, and characterization of chitosan nanostructures and their utilization in the removal of contaminants Highlights the latest developments on the utilization of chitosan in environmental restoration Summarizes the importance of chitosan nanostructures for several applications
