Prof. Emmert has updated and expanded the collection of materials and aligned it with his book International Business Transactions - Text, Cases and Materials, published by Carolina Academic Press. With or without the Textbook/Casebook, this collection will serve students and practitioners alike. Vol. I contains more than 40 of the most important international treaties, model laws, and national statutes that govern IBTs. The companion Vol. II expands the collection to a total of 75 documents by adding everything an international lawyer really needs in the area of transnational litigation and int'l commercial arbitration. Together, the books will be indispensible, to be kept nearby, as desk-copies, for daily consultation.

With or without the Textbook/Casebook, this collection will serve students and practitioners alike. Vol. I contains more than 40 of the most important international treaties, model laws, and national statutes that govern IBTs (Transactional Law Documents, ISBN 978-1-950137-99-2). The companion Vol. II expands the collection to a total of 86 documents by adding everything an international lawyer really needs in the area of transnational litigation and int'l commercial arbitration (Dispute Settlement Documents, ISBN 978-1-950137-01-5).

The book offers a comprehensive collection of essential international documents related to world trade and investment law, spanning various generations of bilateral investment treaties and significant multilateral agreements. It includes historical treaties, modern guidelines, and chapters on labor and environmental laws, as well as dispute settlement mechanisms. Aimed at students and researchers, it serves as a valuable educational resource. Edited by Professor Emmert, a distinguished legal scholar, the volume reflects his extensive expertise in international law and trade.

This comprehensive collection encompasses all binding agreements and understandings related to GATT and WTO, including key agreements such as the GATT Agreement, WTO Agreement, and various trade-related agreements like those on agriculture, services, and intellectual property rights. It also includes essential frameworks for dispute resolution and trade measures. Designed for both academic study and practical use, this volume serves as an invaluable resource for students and practitioners in international trade law.

A collection of highly valuable statistical and computational approaches designed for developing powerful methods to analyze large-scale high-throughput data derived from studies of complex diseases. Such diseases include cancer and cardiovascular disease, and constitute the major health challenges in industrialized countries. They are characterized by the systems properties of gene networks and their interrelations, instead of individual genes, whose malfunctioning manifests in pathological phenotypes, thus making the analysis of the resulting large data sets particularly challenging. This is why novel approaches are needed to tackle this problem efficiently on a systems level. Written by computational biologists and biostatisticians, this book is an invaluable resource for a large number of researchers working on basic but also applied aspects of biomedical data analysis emphasizing the pathway level.

This ready reference discusses different methods for statistically analyzing and validating data created with high-throughput methods. As opposed to other titles, this book focusses on systems approaches, meaning that no single gene or protein forms the basis of the analysis but rather a more or less complex biological network. From a methodological point of view, the well balanced contributions describe a variety of modern supervised and unsupervised statistical methods applied to various large-scale datasets from genomics and genetics experiments. Furthermore, since the availability of sufficient computer power in recent years has shifted attention from parametric to nonparametric methods, the methods presented here make use of such computer-intensive approaches as Bootstrap, Markov Chain Monte Carlo or general resampling methods. Finally, due to the large amount of information available in public databases, a chapter on Bayesian methods is included, which also provides a systematic means to integrate this information. A welcome guide for mathematicians and the medical and basic research communities.

This book is the first to focus on the application of mathematical networks for analyzing microarray data. This method goes well beyond the standard clustering methods traditionally used. From the contents: * Understanding and Preprocessing Microarray Data * Clustering of Microarray Data * Reconstruction of the Yeast Cell Cycle by Partial Correlations of Higher Order * Bilayer Verification Algorithm * Probabilistic Boolean Networks as Models for Gene Regulation * Estimating Transcriptional Regulatory Networks by a Bayesian Network * Analysis of Therapeutic Compound Effects * Statistical Methods for Inference of Genetic Networks and Regulatory Modules * Identification of Genetic Networks by Structural Equations * Predicting Functional Modules Using Microarray and Protein Interaction Data * Integrating Results from Literature Mining and Microarray Experiments to Infer Gene Networks The book is for both, scientists using the technique as well as those developing new analysis techniques.
