Regional Cooperation Intellectual Property Law and Access to Medicines A Holistic Approach for Least Developed Countries

Regional Cooperation Intellectual Property Law and Access to Medicines A Holistic Approach for Least Developed Countries

This book examines the potential for regionalisation of intellectual property law and policy as a means of improving pharmaceutical access for least developed countries. The challenge of sustainable access to pharmaceuticals continues to be an issue of global significance. While much has been written on emerging economies in this context least developed countries have been largely overlooked. This book fills this gap by taking the East African Community as a case study of developing and least developed countries to illustrate why and how a regional collective approach is preferred. It adopts a holistic approach in finding sustainable solutions to both IP and non-IP barriers to pharmaceutical access across a range of inter-related issues through a regional cooperative scheme. It evaluates factors that are necessary for successful regional cooperation such as legal and policy coherence WTO rule compliance the threat of protectionism regional competition rules and so on in order to produce legal and policy recommendations relevant to both existing and intending regional coalitions desiring to improve pharmaceutical access. It also looks beyond the scope of IP barriers to pharmaceutical access examining non-IP-related factors such as pharmaceutical market intelligence local pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity economies of scale and purchasing power medical regulation and quality assurance technology transfer and market size amongst others. The book will be an invaluable resource for academics researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Public Health Law International Trade Law Intellectual Property Law and Development Studies. | Regional Cooperation Intellectual Property Law and Access to Medicines A Holistic Approach for Least Developed Countries

Tracing the History of Contemporary Taiwan’s Aboriginal Groups From the Periphery to the Centre

Tracing the History of Contemporary Taiwan’s Aboriginal Groups From the Periphery to the Centre

Using archaeological evidence the author investigates the prehistories of Austronesian migrants to Taiwan and their connections to contemporary peoples in Taiwan. Due to its unique geographic location Taiwan has played a significant role in various peoples’ maritime migrations and the process of cultural interactions for tens of thousands of years. Within the history of humankind Taiwan has also evidenced a high degree of cultural continuity. Paleolithic people had already settled on the island at least 30 000 years ago but Taiwan only entered the historical period as recently as the 17th century. Before this there was a long and continuous development over the prehistoric period. To this day there are at least 20 different indigenous ethnic groups on the island totalling over half a million people all of whom speak Austronesian languages. Investigating the archaeology of abandoned villages Kuo takes the Paiwan and Sanhe cultures as key case studies of these groups. This book provides valuable insight for historians and archaeologists of Taiwan and scholars of prehistoric Austronesian migration. | Tracing the History of Contemporary Taiwan’s Aboriginal Groups From the Periphery to the Centre

Walter Pater: an Imaginative Sense of Fact A Collection of Essays

Walter Pater: an Imaginative Sense of Fact A Collection of Essays

First Published in 1981. Pater is certainly the least widely read and understood of any of the Victorian critics and creative writers though there are signs of a coming revival of interest in him. Each of the discussions included in this issue devoted to Pater touches in some significant way on his imaginative sense of fact on his struggle with the objective ‘givens’ of experience (ideas or individuals) and on his efforts to co-opt or turn that Other into a reordered reflection of his own image. | Walter Pater: an Imaginative Sense of Fact A Collection of Essays

Livestock Ration Formulation for Dairy Cattle and Buffalo

Livestock Ration Formulation for Dairy Cattle and Buffalo

Livestock Ration Formulation for Dairy Cattle and Buffalo provides an interdisciplinary integrative perspective and optimization on dairy cattle feed formulation problem solving. It helps dairy farmers by introducing them the right frequency and right amount of balanced diet to be fed to cattle’s and buffaloes at different body condition so that their feeding cost should be decreased and there should be increase in income for dairy farmers as they don’t have enough knowledge of feeding practice. It helps animal nutritionist to work for dairy farmers which have very limited feed resources to fulfil nutrients requirement in terms of crude protein (CP) total digestible nutrient (TDN) calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) by developing a software programme to plan a balanced low budget diet. It includes the Linear and Goal programming model for non-pregnant dairy buffalo is been solved using Hybrid Real Coded Genetic Algorithm and the results are compared with Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RGA) considering different versions like RGA without crossover RGA without Mutation RGA with crossover and mutation. These models can also be applied with other nutritional models like CNCPS INRA. This book is a step forward in that direction to provide least cost diet formulation based on nutrient requirement of the cattle and buffalo which is been calculated according to Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR 2013) and NRC (2001) on dry matter basis provides a clear and precise platform for other researcher in Animal Nutrition field which also give initial platform to build a software and android application to formulate least cost ration Based on data and algorithm used in this book which helps Dairy farmers directly to feed balanced diet at cheap rate. Features: It is a good reference to local dairy farmers by introducing them to the right frequency and right amount of balanced diet to be fed to cattle and buffaloes at different production cycles. It will provide basic platform and some solutions to built-up software about cattle nutrition development and least cost formulation for end-user. It has several techniques for optimizing animal diet formulation but a good balance between coding/programming and animal nutrition is incorporated towards application of soft computing technique to improve the quality of the solution due to rigidity of the constraints.

Heating with Wolves Cooling with Cacti Thermo-bio-architectural Framework (ThBA)

Heating with Wolves Cooling with Cacti Thermo-bio-architectural Framework (ThBA)

This book describes the detailed process behind the development of a comprehensive thermo-bio-architectural framework (the ThBA). This framework systematically connects the thermal performance requirements of a building to relevant solutions found in the natural world. This is the first time that architecture has been connected to biology in this manner. The book provides an in-depth understanding of thermoregulatory strategies in animals and plants and links these to equivalent solutions in architectural design. The inclusion of this fundamental knowledge along with the systematic process of accessing it should open up new avenues for the generation of energy efficient and sustainable buildings. | Heating with Wolves Cooling with Cacti Thermo-bio-architectural Framework (ThBA)
