The south Asian countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka face enormous challenges and opportunities in terms of population growth, localized poverty and prosperity, citizen access to services, governmental transparency, and national security. The first comprehensive, comparative treatment of public administration issues in the region, this book offers practical and in-depth discussions of new reforms and innovative practices as well as topics relevant to public administration practices¿including performance management, civil service, policy processes, ethics, and e-government.

The author covers fourteen tools to help you find the information you need and offers step-by-step instructions for constructing each one. He shows you how these tools can be combined with a set of simple problem-solving steps that can act as a powerful change agent to help reduce or eliminate process problems. Five-Step Problem-Solving Process Identify the problem: Clearly state what needs improvement. Analyze: Determine what causes the problem to occur. Evaluate Alternatives: Identify and select actions to reduce or eliminate the problem. Test Implement: Implement these actions on a trial basis to determine their effectiveness. Standardize: Ensure that useful actions are preserved.

Environmental pollution resulting from widespread pesticide application has become a serious worldwide problem. This book addresses this problem by exploring the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of plant pathogenesis and emphasizing the use of 'pest control agents' rather than 'pesticides' for plant disease control.

Intended for those interested in halophilic bacteria, this book presents information regarding methods for working with halophilic bacteria. It gives hints for performing various tests and assays in high salts, and provides information about data presentation and analysis. It is suitable for molecular biologists, biochemists, and ecologists.

Integrating molecular physics and information theory, this work presents molecular electronics as a method for information storage and retrieval that incorporates nanometer-scaled systems. It uses microscopic particles and exploits the laws of quantum mechanics.

Offers information on the hazardous properties of several hundred generic and specific polymeric additives used in elastomer and plastics processing operations, detailing the symproms of overexposure as well as resonsible packaging, shipping and emergency-response procedures. This title offers useful safety data.

Containing expository and research papers on the geometric and analytic aspects of Fourier analysis, this work discusses fresh approaches to classical problems in the theory of trigonometric series, singular integrals/pseudo-differential operators, Fourier analysis on various groups, and numerical aspects of Fourier analysis.

Presents advances in the study of the intracellular fate and transport of metal ions in fungi, emphasizing the mechanisms that regulate cellular concentration. This book explains the relationship between molecular genetics and inorganic biochemistry.

Discusses a model for the propagation of a finite concentration zone in a chromatographic column for the case of a single component sample, and explores operating conditions of ion-exchange chromatography for the production of albumin from bovine serum and plasma.

This book includes articles on denotational semanitcs, recursion theoretic aspects of computer science, model theory and algebra, automath and automated reasoning, stability theory, topoi and mathematics, and topoi and logic. It is intended for mathematical logicians and computer scientists.

This important work provides a comprehensive overview of the properties of Banachspaces related to strict convexity and a survey of significant applications-uniting a wealthof information previously scattered throughout the mathematical literature in a well-organized,accessible format

This book presents theoretical results, including an extension of constant rank and implicit function theorems, continuity and stability bounds results for infinite dimensional problems, and the interrelationship between optimal value conditions and shadow prices for stable and unstable programs.

Describes various methodologies for sensitivity, stability and approximation analysis of mathematical programming and related problem structures involving parameters. This text covers such areas as the effect of perturbations on the performance of algorithms, and approximation techniques for optimal control problems.

Protein engineering has proved to be one of the more fruitful technological approaches in biotechnology, being both very powerful and able to generate valuable intellectual property. This volume aims to present examples in which the application of protein engineering has successfully solved problems arising in industrial biotechnology.

Offers a supplement on American courts and their functions that provides undergraduate, or first-year law students, with an understanding of the key substantive and procedural concepts that they need to know to study the law or the judicial process. This text answers questions about justiciability, standing, jurisdiction, and judicial power.

An accessible and comprehensive main text for courses on the presidency, this text argues that to be a successful presidential leader, one must effectively manage the enormous institutional and personal resources - or the keys to power. Using the keys to power theme, Warshaw argues that the presidency is far more powerful today than in past generations = as our the responsibilities that come with it. The book offers the most coverage in the market on the structures that provide the president with such power. As a result, there are discrete chapters dedicated to the vice president, the president's cabinet, the White House staff, and the executive office of the President. Standard topics such as the president and the economy, are still covered but are integrated throughout the chapters.

Colonial and Revolutionary America takes a regional approach to understanding the peoples and colonies of early America.

This book explains the strategies and policies that can address inequities in the nation's transportation and transportation planning systems so that the benefits and burdens of those systems can be shared equally across all communities. With a close examination of how transportation policies affect individuals and communities, the book is a guide to transportation fairness. It explains the demographic trends, historical events, and current policies that have shaped transportation in the U.S. and offers recommendations for moving to equity.

The two distinct approaches to environmental policy include direct regulation - sometimes called 'command and control' policies - and regulation by economic, or market-based incentives. This book compares the costs and outcomes of these approaches by examining realworld applications.

Environmental conflict resolution (ECR) is a process of negotiation that allows stakeholders in a dispute to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement on their own terms. This book investigates the record and potential of ECR, drawing on perspectives from political science, public administration, regional planning, philosophy, psychology, and law.
