Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In this volume 'Integration, Financial Securities and Contagion Risk: Empirical Evidence for the Period 1995-2016' the authors estimate, econometrically, the connections and the degree of integration among financial markets in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Defined as the correlation between markets above what is already implicit in the fundamentals of the underlying assets, contagion is a subproduct of this integration imposed by globalization. The evidence is not merely inconvenient, but also worrisome as greater integration has also led to greater volatility and financial risk. This integration and the monetary policy followed by the major Central Banks around the world after the 2008 turmoil, are posing additional risks for another plausible major financial crisis in the near future. This high liquidity has broken many of the historical correlations that were in the market, while volatility indexes are at their historical minimum signaling a false sense of health of the international financial system. It seems that a new financial order could be established from this point to the end of 2020; perhaps this is what the empirical evidence shown in this book is telling us.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Chinäs urbanization has become an important issue influencing the world. Therefore, this book will conduct a research on Chinäs urban system and internal migration. The first paper analyzes and reveals the spatial structural features of Chinäs urban system by comparing its transportation and economic urban networks, thus providing new avenues for research on Chinäs city network. The results indicate that these two networks relate with each other by sharing structural equivalence with a basic diamond structure and a layered intercity structure decreasing outwards from the national centers, and a decoupling effect also exists between them as the transportation network contributes to a balanced regional development, while the economic network promotes agglomeration economies. Based on the data of Chinäs 2000 and 2010 population census, the second paper examines spatial distribution and changes of Chinäs internal migration to cities at the prefectural and higher levels, figuring out Chinäs internal migration trend and spatial pattern in terms of both migration size and intensity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -'One particular sector that aptly portrays some of the lapses in judicial oversight of the administrative review process involves the regulation of the healthcare professions. The ascendancy of the medical profession in the last century or so, coupled with the proliferation of sophisticated health related technologies backed by advances in the pharmaceutical sciences, has enabled the medical profession to claim a pre-eminent position among other branches of the healing arts. With this ascendancy also emerged (despite surface appearances) a deep-seated but seldom voiced mistrust and an abrasive rivalry among the various branches of the healing profession.'

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Sejong Si (Sejong City), the second capital city of South Korea, is a new city initiated to achieve the national policy agenda of balanced territorial development by mitigating the excessive concentration of public and private facilities in the Seoul metropolitan area (SMA). The master plan for Sejong City was formulated in 2005 through a project initiated by the Korean government and is noteworthy in that it presents a new urban design paradigm of construction reflecting the Korean experience. One major characteristic is Sejong City's ring-shaped design (decentralized and empty in the central area), which makes the city structurally distinct from other modern cities with hierarchical and symbolic structures. Another major characteristic is the presence of approximately 20 neighborhood units located in accordance with the ring-shaped structure. This is consistent with the transit-oriented development (TOD) and traditional neighborhood development (TND) systems. The urban design method based on TOD and TND models has been effective in terms of Sejong City¿s decentralized urban structure.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Conventional cultivation method relies on the use of nutrient-rich medium, which might limit the exploration of oligotrophic bacteria from soil ecosystems. In the present study attempts were made to isolate oligotrophic bacteria from non-rhizospheric samples collected from mountain roadside, beach, bay and wetland using 1000-fold diluted nutrient agar. All these isolates were subjected to phylogenetic and biogeographic studies. Tests for them to grow under various nutritional conditions, fix nitrogen or solubilize tricalcium phosphate were also conducted. A wide range of bacterial lineages which mainly belonged to class Actinobacteria and ¿¿Proteobacteria were obtained. The methylotrophic, agarolytic and photoheterotrophic behaviors of some isolates were verified. Members affiliated with many genera were first demonstrated to possess plant growth promoting traits. In addition, the use of diluted medium helped to explore several unrecognized species from soils. All these facultatively oligotrophic bacteria may provide opportunities for soil microbiologist or ecologist to study their oligotrophic growth, metabolism and interaction with plants.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Two morphotypes of Aedes aegypti were encountered from the wild. One population had dark and the other pale wings, thus it became necessary to investigate the polytene chromosomes of this vector. To discover any revelations of differences in their chromosomal sequences that might lend themselves to species identification. Salivary gland polytene chromosome from the fourth larval instar of Aedes aegypti was successfully obtained in the course of this work. This gave the impetus to attempt salivary gland polytene chromosome preparations from the fourth larval instar and white pupa of Culicine mosquito which also yielded a successful result. These discoveries are suggestive of better analysis within the mosquito cytogenetics sphere and should especially be useful to both emerging scholars and professionals in the rapidly evolving field of entomology.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book completes the scenario for the thermal history of the Carboniferous Lorraine coal Basin (Izart et al., 2016) following the new tectonic model developed by Averbuch et al. (2012) and proposes some consequences for the petroleum system and coal bed methane (CBM) exploitation. Organic matter maturation data (Vitrinite Reflectance) determined on eleven boreholes and seven seismic lines acquired in the eastern Lorraine have been used to characterize the Lorraine coal Basin evolution. Mesozoic and Paleozoic overburials have been calculated using Petromod software. Results show that (1) Paleozoic erosion may be estimated at a maximum of 1200 m which represents a low amplitude event; (2) little erosion occurred between Upper Paleozoic and Lower Mesozoic : paleotemperature offset is about 20°C (respectively 0,7 and 0,5 for VR data); (3) Cretaceous cover overburial reaches a maximum 300 m and decreases eastwards; and (4) variable heat flows agree well with the compressive and extensive phases of Paleozoic and the extensive phase of Mesozoic. The Lorraine Coal Basin is a target for coal gas and the presence of natural fractures will allow a good exploitation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.
