This volume presents thirteen chapters prepared by senior
researchers and former policy makers on key policy issues
confronting China and the West. They focus on the role of the state
in economic development, trade issues and the part played by
innovation, digitalization and leadership. In a challenging and
rapidly changing world, the book aims to provide not only
authoritative analyses and perspectives, but to stimulate further
thinking and debates about the common future. Each chapter is in
the form of a short policy brief. China and the West is aimed for
policy makers, business leaders, academics and students.
Banking market integration in the Asia Pacific has greatly
accelerated in recent years, in an environment of many other rapid
advances in banking and finance. This has increased competition
between domestic and foreign banks, and made the measurement of
bank efficiency, competition, and liquidity creation a critical
issue for both policy makers and bank managers. This book
investigates important policy-related issues in Asia Pacific
banking. It analyses the link between competition and stability,
examining the cases of fourteen Asia Pacific countries between 2003
and 2010, and goes on to discuss whether bank shareholder value is
influenced by cost and profit efficiency changes over time. The
authors explore the different ways in which banks in Asia-Pacific
create liquidity, and whether this is linked to capital generation.
This book provides valuable insight for researchers, policy makers
and bank managers with an interest in financial rationalization,
restructuring and consolidation.

There have been numerous significant developments in the diagnosis
and treatment of ophthalmic tumors since the last edition of Tumors
of the Eye and Ocular Adnexa. This fascicle in the Fifth Series of
the AFIP Atlases of Tumor and Non-tumor Pathology includes these
developments as well as abundant images to depict ophthalmic
pathology. In this richly illustrated volume, the authors emphasize
that the pathology of ophthalmic tumors must address not only how
to make a correct diagnosis, but also how to guide the ophthalmic
surgeon to a treatment plan for the disease while simultaneously
preserving a patient's vision.
Rough set approach to reasoning under uncertainty is based on
inducing knowledge representation from data under constraints
expressed by discernibility or, more generally, similarity of
objects. Knowledge derived by this approach consists of reducts,
decision or association rules, dependencies, templates, or
classifiers. This monograph presents the state of the art of this
area. The reader will find here a deep theoretical discussion of
relevant notions and ideas as well as rich inventory of algorithmic
and heuristic tools for knowledge discovery by rough set methods.
An extensive bibliography will help the reader to get an
acquaintance with this rapidly growing area of research.
An up-to-date compilation of the theoretical background and
practical procedures involved in lignin characterization. Whenever
possible, the procedures are presented in sufficient detail to
enable the reader to perform the analysis solely by following the
step-by-step description. The advantages and limitations of
individual methods are discussed and, more importantly, illustrated
by typical analytical data in comparison to results obtained from
other methods. This handbook serves the need of researchers and
other professionals in academia, the pulp and paper industry as
well as allied industries. It is equally useful for those with no
previous experience in lignin or lignocellulosics.
