Interest in biodegradable and absorbable polymers is growing rapidly in large part because of their biomedical implant and drug delivery applications. This text illustrates creative approaches to custom designing unique, fiber-forming materials for equally unique applications. It includes an example of the development and application of a new absorbable system, a condensed encyclopedia on novel PEG-based copolyesters, and the first comprehensive discussion of a novel class of absorbable tissue adhesives. The book also provides up-to-date information on important tissue engineering technologies

While each country’s judiciary is unique in its individual needs, capabilities and contexts, the lessons learned from Singapore’s success can help guide judicial reform initiatives regionally as well as globally. No one would suggest that Singapore’s strategy is a magic formula that if followed can erase the inefficiencies of all judiciaries. But it would be wise to examine the strategies used and lessons learned from Singapore’s experience as a potential guide toward successful and sustainable judicial reform.
