Core-Periphery Relations and Organization Studies draws together postcolonial and indigenous thinking through the conceptual lens of core-periphery relations to advance debate in organization studies. A particular aim of this book is to broaden, deepen and critically reassert a postcolonial imagination in this domain.

This work offers a comprehensive, up-to-date account of 30 years of thermochemical investigations and findings from around the world.
Thermochemistry and Equilibria of Organic Compounds presents in English three Russian Monographs (on bomb calorimetry, organic substance vaporization thermochemistry, and isomer thermodynamics and equilibria) updated with new perspectives, insights, and achievements in these and many other rapidly developing areas.
Packed with tabular data completely referenced, this important work features a wealth of practical information on ensuring sample purity, methods for mathematical treatment of data, plan development for experimental studies, and the creation of corresponding banks of thermochemical data. The reader will also find discussion on isomerism and elements of symmetry, along with experimental guidelines and diagrams of equipment.
Constructional features of assemblies and examples of how thermodynamic characteristics are used for solving technological problems are detailed.
It is of greatest interest to researchers, specialists, and engineers in the fields of physical and organic chemistry, chemical engineering, petrochemistry, polymer chemistry, pharmaceutics, environmental and solutions chemistry, and chemical energotechnology.

This book introduces a discrete optimisation technique in four applications: classic Traveller Salesperson Problem (TSP), Multilocus Genetic Mapping, Multilocus Consensus Genetic Mapping, and Physical Mapping. Each of the four sections contains the problem formulation, description of the algorithm, and experimental results. The foregoing problems are solved on the basis of Guided Evolution Strategy (GES) algorithm. The algorithm was implemented in MultiPoint package (http://multiqtl.com). The developed analytical tools were applied in many genome mapping projects.

Data on the densities of organic compounds is essential for both scientific and industrial applications. A knowledge of densities is important in many areas, including custody transfer of materials, product specification, development of various predictive methods, and for characterizing compounds and estimating their purity. The densities of normal and branched alkanes are collected from the original literature published from 1863 to early 1996. All the values were critically evaluated. The tables contain the original literature data, along with their estimated uncertainties, and the evaluated data, in both numerical form and as coefficients to equations with selected statistical information. The volume also contains the CASR Number Index and a Chemical Name Index.
