Abstract

Materials for Advanced Heat Transfer Systems presents the latest research and technologies developed for high-performance materials in heat transfer and cooling. The book compiles sought after research academics and industry experts need to adopt to solve common problems in critical areas of heat transfer and cooling to help advance the field further. A variety of methodologies are included to synthesize the material used, along with the correct procedures to follow to ensure appropriate and effective use. Various case studies are presented to help the reader further understand the benefits and challenges of the materials discussed.

Abstract

Bioprospecting, or the search for useful biochemical compounds and genes in nature, has been the focus of international negotiations for more than a decade, yet the debate on the terms for access to genetic resources, traditional knowledge and benefit-sharing is far from settled.This book examines the optimal property rights structures and institutional mechanisms for regulating bioprospecting for drug research. Focusing on the economics of contracts, it shows that the rights exchanged are complementary at each stage of drug discovery and the development of genetic resources.Defining and enfor

Abstract

Important changes in legislation, and a mounting number of court decisions relevant to the topics here discussed, have made a revision and expansion of the fourth edition necessary. The objective of the book still remains essentially as it was twenty-one years ago, when the first edition appeared. That aim is to present to engineers and engineering students a simple treatment of the legal aspects of engineering undertakings and responsibilities, using a minimum of technical legal terms and avoiding the subtler distinctions and conflicts. As legal problems now arise in a wide range of engineering activities, it has been thought well to add three more chapters. These concern "Mines, Oil and Gas Wells, and Pipe Lines"; "Public Utilities"; and "Public Health."

Abstract

The phenomenon of the New Genetics raises complex social problems, particularly those of privacy. This book offers ethical and legal perspectives on the questions of a right to know and not to know genetic information from the standpoint of individuals, their relatives, employers, insurers and the state. Graeme Laurie provides a unique definition of privacy, including a concept of property rights in the person, and argues for stronger legal protection of privacy in the shadow of developments in human genetics. He challenges the role and the limits of established principles in medical law and ethics, including respect for patient autonomy and confidentiality. This book will interest lawyers, philosophers and doctors concerned both with genetic information and issues of privacy; it will also interest genetic counsellors, researchers, and policy makers worldwide for its practical stance on dilemmas in modern genetic medicine.

Abstract

This volume examines the impact of advances in genetics and assisted reproduction technologies on family law, human rights and the rights of the child, including the effects of international treaties on national legislation. It surveys the theoretical, ethical and legal discussions with regard to biotechnology and family law issues and the search for a balance between safeguarding respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and the need to ensure freedom of research. However, biotechnology impinges not only on isolated individuals and their rights, but also on unborn children, the family as a network of living relationships and the basic structure of any society, as well as the foundation of parentage and kinship, social organization as a whole and, finally, mankind itself. As the attention of the World turns to cloning, this book will contribute to the search for a balance between the rights and freedoms of born and yet to be born human beings and the quest for new technologies.
