Proceedings of the International Congress of Industrial Engineering (ICIE2019)
This book features a selection of the best papers presented at the 11th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management (ICIE2019), held in Bucaramanga, Colombia, from 9 to 11 October 2019. It discusses topics in the following areas: sustainability and life-cycle analysis in the supply chain, logistics of emerging markets, risk in the value chain, public logistics policy and chain management of supply, as well as analysis, corporate social responsibility and social innovation in the supply chain.
Action and Knowledge
Technical problems require technical solutions that are innovative, simple, cheap, robust and easy to maintain. This book lists 100 winning inventions in the first International Inventors Award competition, organized in Stockholm.
Ingeniería económica
El texto ha sido estructurado en seis capítulos para orientar de manera detallada, secuencial y bajo diferentes opciones metodológicas; la obtención de resultados en términos de la utilización de tasas de interés en sus modalidades simple y compuesta, nominal vencida y anticipada y su respectiva tasa efectiva anual. De manera secuencial se presenta la aplicación de las diversas modalidades de las equivalencias del dinero en el tiempo, en términos del valor presente y futuro, anualidad vencida y anticipada, gradientes aritmético y geométrico creciente y decreciente. Se incluye la metodología para la obtención del costo de capital con su respectivo detalle en función del costo de los recursos propios y el costo de los recursos de crédito como variable o tasa de descuento de los flujos de caja tanto por método directo e indirecto. Finalmente, se presentan las herramientas para la evaluación financiera de proyectos o alternativas de inversión; mediante el Valor presente neto, la tasa interna de retorno simple y modificada, la relación beneficio/costo y el periodo de recuperación de la inversión.
Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives. September 2018
This book contains the summaries of the "Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives" that took place in Salamanca (Spain) in September 2018. The early science of chemistry and microbiology were the source of most drugs until the revolution of genetic engineering in the mid 1970s. Then biotechnology made available novel protein agents such as interferons, blood factors and monoclonal antibodies that have changed the modern pharmacy. Over the past year, a new pharmacy of oligonucleotides has emerged from the science of gene expression such as RNA splicing and RNA interference. The ability to design therapeutic agents from genomic sequences will transform treatment for many diseases. The...
Wildlife in a Changing World
"Wildlife in a Changing World" presents an analysis of the 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Beginning with an explanation of the IUCN Red List as a key conservation tool, it goes on to discuss the state of the world s species and provides the latest information on the patterns of species facing extinction in some of the most important ecosystems in the world, highlighting the reasons behind their declining status. Areas of focus in the report include: freshwater biodiversity, the status of the world s marine species, species susceptibility to climate change impacts, the Mediterranean biodiversity hot spot, and broadening the coverage of biodiversity assessments."
Forbearance as Redistribution
The book explains why and when laws go unenforced in developing countries. It argues that the tolerance of street vending and squatting is a form of informal welfare provision and a more effective means to mobilize the poor than conventional state social policies.
Connectivity Conservation
One of the biggest threats to the survival of many plant and animal species is the destruction or fragmentation of their natural habitats. The conservation of landscape connections, where animals, plants, and ecological processes can move freely from one habitat to another, is therefore an essential part of any new conservation or environmental protection plan. In practice, however, maintaining, creating, and protecting connectivity in our increasingly dissected world is a daunting challenge. This fascinating volume provides a synthesis on the current status and literature of connectivity conservation research and implementation. It shows the challenges involved in applying existing knowledge to real-world examples and highlights areas in need of further study. Containing contributions from leading scientists and practitioners, this topical and thought-provoking volume will be essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners working in conservation biology and natural resource management.
Scientific Babel
English is the language of science today. No matter which languages you know, if you want your work seen, studied, and cited, you need to publish in English. But that hasn’t always been the case. Though there was a time when Latin dominated the field, for centuries science has been a polyglot enterprise, conducted in a number of languages whose importance waxed and waned over time—until the rise of English in the twentieth century. So how did we get from there to here? How did French, German, Latin, Russian, and even Esperanto give way to English? And what can we reconstruct of the experience of doing science in the polyglot past? With Scientific Babel, Michael D. Gordin resurrects that ...
