Chern on Dispute Boards: Practice and Procedure By Cyril Chern(auth.)
2008 | 389 Pages | ISBN: 140517062X | PDF | 3 MB
Dispute boards were first introduced almost 20 years ago. Since then close to $100 billion US dollars worldwide has been spent on construction projects that have used dispute boards. Of these, 98% were constructed without any court battles and of the remaining 2%, the dispute board decisions were upheld by either arbitration and/or the court: a truly impressive record. Yet very little is known about what dispute boards are and how they operate.This book provides the knowledge necessary for those actively involved in dispute board work as well as for those who need to learn the process. Important features of the book include:analysis of the differences between dispute adjudication boards, dispute resolution boards and combined dispute boardsin-depth discussion of both the existing and historical international case law on dispute boards, including its history under the British common law, European civil law and Muslim Shari'ah lawanalysis of the differences between the various major standard forms of dispute board rules - FIDIC, International Chamber of Commerce and DBFederation - along with sample wording to add to or modify these forms as needed.analysis of how referrals are made to dispute boards and sample forms.an in-depth discussion of the ethical requirements relating to dispute board memberscomparison of board selection techniques with guidelines for implementation and recommendations for the partiessample forms for use in establishing a dispute boarddiscussion of site visits, how they should be conducted and sample formsgeneral forms for use in operating a dispute board, form agendas, form reports and their usehow to use a dispute board as a sounding board for grievancesin depth discussion of how to write a decision or recommendation with examples of actual dispute board decisions and recommendationsdisclosure forms, questionnaires for potential board members, and comparison of board member agreements and sample formsa discussion of how to effectively use witnesses and the preparation and presentation of witness statements in dispute board hearingsforms of notice and procedural rules governing the operation of dispute boardsinternational case studies with claims, responses and decisionsanalysis of situations requiring the removal of dispute board members and form agreements for their removaldiscussion of the use of dispute boards in areas other than construction.

R Vaidyanathan, "Caste as Social Capital"
English | 2019 | pages: 110 | ISBN: 9388689119 | PDF | 2,4 mb
Many consider caste as an outdated institution, but it thrives in post-liberalisation India. The establishment and running of businesses tap into caste networks, both in terms of arranging finance and providing access to a ready workforce. By and large, caste has only been studied from a religious, social and political angle. Though it is widely accepted that caste has economic ramifications, any study of this aspect has been limited to looking at caste groups in terms of their per capita income, their representation in various professions, and other statistical details. Caste as Social Capital examines the workings of caste through the lens of business, economics and entrepreneurship. It interrogates the role caste plays in the economic sphere in terms of facilitating the nuts and bolts of business and entrepreneurship: finance, markets and workforce. Through this qualitative view of caste, an entirely new picture emerges of caste which forces one to view this age-old institution in new light.

Bioeconomy for Beginners by Joachim Pietzsch
English | EPUB | 2020 | 221 Pages | ISBN : 3662603896 | 97.7 MB
This book provides an interdisciplinary and comprehensible introduction to bioeconomy. It thus provides basic knowledge for understanding a transformation process that will shape the 21st century and requires the integration of many disciplines and industries that have had little to do with each other up to now. We are talking about the gradual and necessary transition from the age of fossil fuels, which began around 200 years ago, to a global economy based on renewable raw materials (and renewable energies). The success of this transition is key to coping with the challenge of climate change.

Martin H. Weissman, "An Illustrated Theory of Numbers"
English | ISBN: 1470434938 | 2017 | 323 pages | PDF | 11 MB
Note: Always available directly from the publisher at the American Mathematical Society Bookstore! An Illustrated Theory of Numbers gives a comprehensive introduction to number theory, with complete proofs, worked examples, and exercises. Its exposition reflects the most recent scholarship in mathematics and its history. Almost 500 sharp illustrations accompany elegant proofs, from prime decomposition through quadratic reciprocity. Geometric and dynamical arguments provide new insights, and allow for a rigorous approach with less algebraic manipulation. The final chapters contain an extended treatment of binary quadratic forms, using Conway's topograph to solve quadratic Diophantine equations (e.g. Pell's equation) and to study reduction and the finiteness of class numbers. Data visualizations introduce the reader to open questions and cutting-edge results in analytic number theory such as the Riemann hypothesis, boundedness of prime gaps, and the class number 1 problem. Accompanying each chapter, historical notes curate primary sources and secondary scholarship to trace the development of number theory within and outside the Western tradition. Requiring only high school algebra and geometry, this text is recommended for a first course in elementary number theory, and to all mathematicians seeking a fresh perspective on an ancient subject. 2018 PROSE Awards: Honorable Mention in Mathematics.
