The Coupling of Climate and Economic Dynamics : Essays on Integrated Assessment
Deals with various aspects of the building of integrated assessment models, either by coupling economic growth and climate change modules, or using mathematical models of viability or dynamic game theory to represent the interactions between the world regions concerned. This book is the result of several years of joint research in an interdisciplinary project on the human dimension of climate change. It proposes innovative ways to include climate simulation modules in optimal economic growth models; it explores the possible use of computable general economic equilibrium models coupled with paradigms of game theory to assess the dividends of cooperation in climate policies; it reports on the building of multi-region dynamic energy-technology-environment models to assess the possible response of the world energy system to a global cap on GHG emissions, and it shows how to model the impacts of climate change at a regional level.
The cost of insanity in nineteenth-century Ireland : Public, voluntary and private asylum care
The first comparative study of public, voluntary and private asylums in nineteenth-century Ireland. Examining nine institutions, it explores whether concepts of social class and status and the emergence of a strong middle class informed interactions between gender, religion, identity and insanity. It questions whether medical and lay explanations of mental illness and its causes, and patient experiences, were influenced by these concepts. The strong emphasis on land and its interconnectedness with notions of class identity and respectability in Ireland lends a particularly interesting dimension. The book interrogates the popular notion that relatives were routinely locked away to be deprived of land or inheritance, querying how often “land grabbing” Irish families really abused the asylum system for their personal economic gain. The book will be of interest to scholars of nineteenth-century Ireland and the history of psychiatry and medicine in Britain and Ireland.
The Core Test Wrapper Handbook : Rationale and Application of IEEE Std. 1500™
Focuses on practical design considerations and design choices inherent to the application of IEEE Std. 1500. This book teaches an engineer how to add a 1500 wrapper to their core in easy to understand steps. Starting with a bare core (a core without 1500 wrapper), the book progressively builds a 1500 compliant wrapper around this core while discussing overall requirements for each portion of the 1500 wrapper. The Core Test Wrapper Handbook: Rationale and Application of IEEE Std. 1500TM is a very valuable reference for professionals and researchers in the areas of design for test, design for test reuse/design reuse, and SOC implementation.

The Changing Governance of the Sciences : The Advent of Research Evaluation Systems
The establishment of national systems of retrospective research evaluations is one of the most significant of recent changes in the governance of science. In many countries, state attempts to manage public science systems and improve their quality have triggered the institutionalisation of such systems, which vary greatly in their methods of assessing research performance, and consequences for universities. The contributions to this volume discuss, inter alia, the birth and development of research evaluation systems as well as the reasons for their absence in the United States, the responses by universities and academics to these new governance regimes, and their consequences for the production of scientific knowledge. By integrating new theoretical approaches with country studies and studies of general phenomena such as university rankings and bibliometric evaluations, the book shows how these novel state steering mechanisms are changing the organisation of scientific knowledge production and universities in different countries.
