The Law and Economics of Intellectual Property in the Digital Age: The Limits of Analysis




The Law and Economics of Intellectual Property in the Digital Age: The Limits of Analysis by Niva Elkin-Koren and Eli Salzberger


English | 2012 | ISBN: 0415499089 | 304 pages | PDF | 1 MB




This book explores the economic analysis of intellectual property law, with a special emphasis on the Law and Economics of informational goods in light of the past decade’s technological revolution. In recent years there has been massive growth in the Law and Economics literature focusing on intellectual property, on both normative and positive levels of analysis. The economic approach to intellectual property is often described as a monolithic, coherent approach that may differ only as it is applied to a particular case. Yet the growing literature of Law and Economics in intellectual property does not speak in one voice. The economic discourse used in legal scholarship and in policy-making encompasses several strands, each reflecting a fundamentally different approach to the economics of informational works, and each grounded in a different ideology or methodological paradigm.




This book delineates the various economic approaches taken and analyzes their tenets. It maps the fundamental concepts and the theoretical foundation of current economic analysis of intellectual property law, in order to fully understand the ramifications of using economic analysis of law in policy making. In so doing, one begins to appreciate the limitations of the current frameworks in confronting the challenges of the information revolution. The book addresses the fundamental adjustments in the methodology and underlying assumptions that must be employed in order for the economic approach to remain a useful analytical framework for addressing IPR in the information age.

Cyclic Analysis: A Dynamic Approach to Technical Analysis




J. M. Hurst, "Cyclic Analysis: A Dynamic Approach to Technical Analysis"


1999 | ISBN-10: 0934380562 | 48 pages | PDF | 4 MB




The advent of accurate and continuous equity price histories made possible the study of equity price movement as a function of time, independent of all other variables.




Early studies of such data produced the conclusion that equity prices vary in a random, hence unpredictable, way.




This conclusion has been replaced in the last decade as evidence mounts that equity price variation is ordered and quasi-predictable.




The relationship between past and future prices is found to be complex and nonlinear. Current simplified models represent price movement as consisting of a linear combination of wave functions with specific and consistent interrelationships. This viewpoint has led to the development of the Wave Theory of Price Action.




From this Wave Theory, a body of practical application methods called Cyclic Analysis has been evolved which permits a fully integrated and wholly technical approach to the problem of trading and investing successfully in the stock and commodity markets.




This approach features the following unique capabilities: prediction of price-reversal timing, prediction of the price at an anticipated reversal, estimation of the extent of the price move expected to follow a reversal, and evaluation of a transaction before entry in terms of risk and profit potential.




Cyclic Analysis methodology has been field tested since 1971, and computerized analysis aids are available.

Clothing for Liberation: A Communication Analysis of Gandhi"s Swadeshi Revolution




Clothing for Liberation: A Communication Analysis of Gandhi"s Swadeshi Revolution by Peter Gonsalves


English | 11 Mar. 2010 | ISBN: 8132103106 | 188 Pages | PDF | 7 MB




This is the first analysis of Gandhi’s dressing style in terms of communication theory and an exploration of the subliminal messages that were subtly communicated to a large audience. Peter Gonsalves chooses three famous theorists from the field of communication studies and looks at Gandhi through the lens of each one, to give us a fascinating and new insight into one of the most famous men from South Asia.




The author first prepares the ground for the theoretical investigation by exploring the breadth of Gandhi’s communication skills. He provides essential information on a wide range of Gandhi’s communication skills, with a view to proposing interesting areas of research for communication scholars.




The book deals with the qualitative and quantitative aspects of Gandhi’s verbal output, his linguistic capacity, his journalistic and letter-writing style, his peace communication in an atmosphere of conflict, his organizational ability and the international repercussions of his mass mediated messages. It also elaborates the different types of non-verbal communication he used, such as silence, fasting, clothing, personal presence and charisma. The book closes with, perhaps for the first time, a Gandhian approach to symbolisation for socio-political change.Photographs of Gandhi in different phases of his life have been used to provide a visual chronology of sartorial change and emphasise the arguments in the book.

Urban Transportation and the Environment: Issues, Alternatives and Policy Analysis (repost)




Sudhakar Yedla, "Urban Transportation and the Environment: Issues, Alternatives and Policy Analysis"


English | 2015 | ISBN-10: 8132223128 | 158 pages | pdf | 4 MB




The book deals with urban transportation planning in light of environmental sustainability and social equity. It begins with a review of the Indian urban transportation system and the issues surrounding it, and discusses the alternatives and policy directions that are being considered. It examines all the environmental issues arising out of transportation as a sector and assesses the alternatives that can be considered to improve sustainability. Further, the book not only analyses transportation modes that cater to the travel needs of the poor, so as to make them more socially equitable, but also explores measures to promote them using a multi-criteria and multi-stakeholder approach. It addresses the barriers that are bottlenecks for the implementation of cleaner fuels and modes of transport and presents an incremental approach to tackle environmental concerns, including climate change, when planning transportation in the long term. Finally, it presents the dilemma of city administrators in choosing between strategies aimed at local pollution control and those aimed at limiting global emissions. This unique book provides a comprehensive overview of “sustainable transportation.” It discusses all the important elements that are essential to transportation planners and policy makers when planning a city’s transportation. Theoretical presentations augmented by case-specific research work and the methodology used in some of the modules, make it a valuable resource for researchers working at the forefront of this area.

Handbook of Multilevel Analysis [Repost]




Handbook of Multilevel Analysis by Jan Deleeuw


English | Dec. 28, 2007 | ISBN: 0387731830 | 494 Pages | PDF | 7.01 MB




This book presents the state of the art in multilevel analysis, with an emphasis on more advanced topics. These topics are discussed conceptually, analyzed mathematically, and illustrated by empirical examples. Multilevel analysis is the statistical analysis of hierarchically and non-hierarchically nested data. The simplest example is clustered data, such as a sample of students clustered within schools. Multilevel data are especially prevalent in the social and behavioral sciences and in the biomedical sciences. The chapter authors are all leading experts in the field. Given the omnipresence of multilevel data in the social, behavioral, and biomedical sciences, this book is essential for empirical researchers in these fields.

Harmonic and Applied Analysis




Harmonic and Applied Analysis: From Groups to Signals


Birkhäuser | Mathematics | October 14, 2015 | ISBN-10: 3319188623 | 258 pages | pdf | 3.24 mb




by Stephan Dahlke (Editor), Filippo De Mari (Editor), Philipp Grohs (Editor), Demetrio Labate (Editor)

Highlights promising mathematical developments in harmonic analysis in the last decade brought about by the interplay among different areas of abstract and applied mathematics


A unified notation is used across all of the chapters to ensure consistency of the mathematical material presented


Can be used as ​a textbook for graduate courses in applied harmonic analysis




From the Back Cover


This contributed volume explores the connection between the theoretical aspects of harmonic analysis and the construction of advanced multiscale representations that have emerged in signal and image processing. It highlights some of the most promising mathematical developments in harmonic analysis in the last decade brought about by the interplay among different areas of abstract and applied mathematics. This intertwining of ideas is considered starting from the theory of unitary group representations and leading to the construction of very efficient schemes for the analysis of multidimensional data.




After an introductory chapter surveying the scientific significance of classical and more advanced multiscale methods, chapters cover such topics as:




An overview of Lie theory focused on common applications in signal analysis, including the wavelet representation of the affine group, the Schrödinger representation of the Heisenberg group, and the metaplectic representation of the symplectic group


An introduction to coorbit theory and how it can be combined with the shearlet transform to establish shearlet coorbit spaces


Microlocal properties of the shearlet transform and its ability to provide a precise geometric characterization of edges and interface boundaries in images and other multidimensional data


Mathematical techniques to construct optimal data representations for a number of signal types, with a focus on the optimal approximation of functions governed by anisotropic singularities.


A unified notation is used across all of the chapters to ensure consistency of the mathematical material presented.




Harmonic and Applied Analysis: From Groups to Signals is aimed at graduate students and researchers in the areas of harmonic analysis and applied mathematics, as well as at other applied scientists interested in representations of multidimensional data. It can also be used as a textbook for


graduate courses in applied harmonic analysis.​

Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management [Repost]




Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management by Frank K. Reilly


English | Oct. 18, 2002 | ISBN: 0324171730 | 1248 Pages | PDF | 9.47 MB




The purpose of this book is to help you learn how to manage your money to derive the maximum benefit from what you earn. Mixing investment instruments and capital markets with the theoretical detail on evaluating investments and opportunities to satisfy risk-return objectives along with how investment practice and theory is influenced by globalization leaves readers with the mindset on investments to serve them well. The material is intended to be rigorous and empirical yet not overly quantitative. We continue with unparalleled international coverage, newly rewritten and reorganized derivatives material to be more intuitive and clearer, three additional chapters on derivatives pricing for those who want more detail, rewritten material on multifactor models of risk and return, and new CFA problems for more practice on computations concerning investment decisions. To manage money and investments, one needs to learn about investment alternatives and develop a way of analyzing and thinking about investments that will be of benefit and allow a foundation as new tools and investment opportunities become available. Reilly/Brown provide the best foundation, used extensively by professionals, organizations, and schools across the country. A great source for those with both a theoretical and practical need for investment expertise.

The Emergence of Peer Competitors: A Framework for Analysis [Repost]




The Emergence of Peer Competitors: A Framework for Analysis by Thomas S. Szayna


English | Nov. 27, 2001 | ISBN: 0833030566 | 182 Pages | PDF | 1.48 MB




The potential emergence of a peer competitor is probably the most important long-term planning challenge for the Department of Defense. This report addresses the issue by developing a conceptual framework of how a proto-peer (meaning a state that is not yet a peer but has the potential to become one) might interact with the hegemon (the dominant global power). The central aspect of the framework is an interaction between the main strategies for power aggregation available to the proto-peer and the main strategies for countering the rise of a peer available to the hegemon. Then, using exploratory modeling techniques, the pathways of the various proto-peer and hegemon interactions are modeled to identify the specific patterns and combinations of actions that might lead to rivalries. The dominant power has an array of options available to limit the growth of its rivals or to change their ultimate intentions. Too confrontational a strategy, however, risks making a potential neutral power into a foe, while too conciliatory a stance may speed the growth of a competitor. Exploratory modeling suggests which attributes of the countries are most important and the sensitivity of the dominant power to perception errors.

Using Alternative Therapies: A Qualitative Analysis (repost)




Using Alternative Therapies: A Qualitative Analysis by Jacqueline Low


English | 2004-05-01 | ISBN: 1551302640 | PDF | 200 pages | 1,8 MB




This book provides a distinctive sociological inquiry into the perspectives and social issues surrounding the use of alternative therapies. Dr. Low presents the experiences of twenty-one Canadians who use alternative approaches to health care. Her study foregrounds the lay perspective by using a symbolic interactionist approach, which emphasises individuals? own understanding of reality as a basis for their actions. Dr. Low analyses how and why the participants in the study came to use alternative therapies; the ideologies informing the models of health and healing they espouse; the impact these beliefs have on them, and the implications of their experiences for Canadian health care policy.
