In 1977 Brazil initiated the "market reserve policy" to protect and reserve its domestic market for its own computer manufacturing companies. The basic assumptions on which its plans rested were fatally flawed, however, and the experiment failed to a large degree. This work investigates to what extent the policy, so carefully fashioned, fell short of its target and left Brazil with expensive and poorly made products. The author also evaluated the important and influential role of Brazil’s bureaucracy and military. Scholars of economic development, industrial organization, economic histor

This text aims to bring to the attention of undergraduate students of biochemistry the many exciting developments in cell and molecular biology in recent years and their important implications for the practice of medicine. Emphasis is placed on such topics as membrane structure and function and hormone action and secretion, where current knowledge of macromolecular and cellular structure and function will contribute most to understanding the underlying pathology of common multifactorial diseases. The book also outlines the basic features of recombinant DNA techniques and their probable impact

Colombian writer Eduardo García Aguilar captures the unseen side of the metropolis, inviting us to join him in the great cities of the world, from Paris, Stockholm and Rome to Mexico City, Antigua and San Francisco, from the garrets of lovers in Europe to the killing fields of civil wars in the Americas, from the beautiful bodies of youth to the nostalgia of old age. We witness these luminous urbs through the eyes of a "professional foreigner." Artist Santiago Rebolledo illustrates each of these stories.

This review volume consists of a collection of articles, written by renowned scientists from different countries, on biomimetism and materials science. It starts with a detailed explanation of the four typical, useful properties of biological surfaces the shark skin effect (anti-friction surfaces), the lotus effect (self-cleaning or anti-adhesive surfaces), the gecko effect (dry adhesive surfaces) and the moth eye effect (anti-reflective surfaces) and shows their extended application in technology. Different microscopy techniques used for characterizing these technological useful biological su
