This book discusses numerous natural compounds that
show promise in the treatment of cancer. It examines
fully what research has told us about them, and it proposes
ways of using them that could significantly increase
their value in cancer treatment beyond what has
previously been demonstrated. To understand the meaning...

When scientists analyze datasets in a search for underlying phenomena, patterns or causal factors, their first step is often an automatic or semi-automatic search for structures in the data. Of these feature-extraction methods, topological ones stand out due to their solid mathematical foundation. Topologically defined structures—as...
Decision support systems comprise a core subject area of the information systems
(IS) discipline, being one of several major expansions that have occurred in the IS
field. The decision support system (DSS) area, as a subject of research and
practice, continues to grow along ever-widening horizons – often blending with
other...
Can the euro area survive without a more centralized economic policy? What lessons can be drawn from Economic and Monetary Union about new modes of policy-making in the European Union? Have euro area members spoken with one voice on the international stage and what does this mean for the European Union's ambitions to be a global actor in...
The concept of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) was originally introduced by Atanassov (1983) to extend the concept of the traditional fuzzy set. Each element in an IFS is expressed by an ordered pair which is called an intuitionistic fuzzy value (IFV) (or intuitionistic fuzzy number (IFN)), and each IFV is characterized by a membership degree,...
This peer-reviewed volume from the Society for the Study of Business and Finance, discusses current issues in globalization and financial system from an international political and economic perspective. Contemporary instruments and actors in the global financial system are specially analyzed...
Systems engineered by man to harness solar heat in a controlled manner now include a diverse range of technologies each serving distinctive needs in particular climate contexts. This text covers the breadth of solar energy technologies for the conversion of solar energy to provide heat, either as the directly-used output or as an...
