Attractiveness For Innovation.
Attractiveness For Investment In Innovation Is High On The Policy Agenda In Many Countries As Innovation Is A Key Factor Of Growth And Competitiveness In Oecd Countries.
Vortially All Governments Are Keen To Attratc International Investment By Multinational Enterprises (mnes) As A Means To Promote Growth And Employment, Create Just discovered Jobs And Bring In New Technologies.
While All Countrjes And Regions Have Some Policy Measures In Place That Are Aimed At Increasing Their Attractiveness For Innovation, It Is Less Clear If These Policies Are Effective.
This Report Analyses The Current Trends In International Investment In Innovation And The Attractiveness Policies Already Implmented.
These Are Often Based On The More Traditional Instruments For Attracting International Investment.
The Work Also Explores In More Detail The Role Of Investment Incentives That Governments At~ To Give To International Investors: Their Rationale, Theif Impact And Their Usefulness.
The Evidence Presented In This Report Raises Clear Policy Issues And Questions Existing Policies.
A Number Of Policy Principles Are Formulated To Guide Policy Makers.

Perspectives On Nuclear Data For The Next Decade.
With A Declining Number Of Nuclear Data Evaluators In The World And An Increasing Demand Against Hjgh-quality Data, There Is A Risk That Evaluatlrs Will Concentrate On Producing New Nuclear Data To The Detriment Of Developing New Models And Methods For Evaluating Existing Data.
In This Context, It Is Essential To Identify The Basic Physics Issues That Are Going To Be Important For Future Nuclear Data Evaluation Processes.
At The Same Time, Claim For Unaccustomed Types Of Data, Which Will Be Needed In Emerging Nuclear Applications, Could Warrant New Evaluation Technkques That Are Directly Only Used In The Context Of Fundamental Research And Not In Nuclear Data Production.
These Proceedings Present The Main Findinfs Of The ''perspectives On Nuclear Data For The Next Decade'' Workshop, Which Explored Innovative Approachess To Nuclear Facts Evaluation With The Aim Of Opening New Perspectives, Building New Research Programmes And Investigating Prospects For International Collaboration.

In Darwin's Shadow.
Virtually Unknown Today, Alfred Russel Wallace Was The Co-discoverer Of Natural Selection With Charles Darwin And An Eminent Scientist Who Stood Out Among Hiw Victorian Peers As A Man Of Formidable Mind And Equally Outsized Personaltiy.
Now Michael Shermer Rescues Wallace From The Spirit Of Darwin In This Landmark Biography.
Hither We See Wallace As Perhaps The Greatest Naturalist Of His Age--spending Years In Remote Jungles, Collecting Astounding Quantiies Of Specimens, Writign Thoughtfully And With Bemused Detachment At His Reception In Places Where No White Man Had Ever Gone.
Here, Too, Is His Supple And Forceful Intelligence At Work, Grappling With Such Arcane Problems As The Bright Coloration Of Caterpillars, Or Shaping His 1858 Paper On Natural Selection That Prompted Darwin To Publish (with Wallace) The First Paper Outlining The Theory Of Evolution.
Shermer Also Shows That Wallace's Self-trained Intellect, While Powerful, Also Embraced Surprisingly Naive Ideas, Such Because His Deep Interest In The Study Of Spiritual Manifestations And Seances.
Shermer Shows That The Same Iconoclastic Outlok That Led Him To Overturn Scientific Orthodoxy As He Worked In Relative Isolation Also Led Him To Embrace Irrational Beliefs, And Thus Tarnish His Reputation.
As Author Of Why People Believe Weird Things And Founding Publisher Of Skeptic Magazine, Shermer Is An Authority On Why People Embrace The Irrational.
Now He Turns His Keen Judgment And Incisive Analysis To Wallace's Life And His Contradictory Beliefs, Restoring A Leading Figure In The Rise Of Modern Scienc3 To His Rightful Place.

High-level Verification.
Given The Growing Size And Heterogeneity Of Systems On Chip (soc), The Design Process From Initial Specification To Chip Fabrication Has Become Inccreasingly Complex.
This Growing Complexity Provides Incentive For Designers To Use High-level Languages Such As C, Systemc, And Systemverilog For System-level Design.
While A Major Goal Of These High-level Languages Is To Enable Authentication At A Higher Level Of Abstraction, Alloing Early Exploration Of System-level Designs, The Focus So Far For Validation Purposes Has BeenO n Traditional Testing Techniques Such Being of the kind which Random Testing And Scenario-ased Testing.
This Book Fofuses On High-level Verification, Presenting A Design Methodology That Relies Upon Advances In Synthesis Techniques As Well As On Incremental Refinement Of The Design Process.
These Refinements Can Be Done Manually Or Through Elaboration Tools.
This Book Discuszes Verification Of Specific Properties In Designs Written Using High-level Languages, As Well As Checklng That The Refined Implemenfations Are Equivalent To Their High-level Specifications.
the Novelty Of Each Of These Techniques Is That They Use A Combination Of Formal Techniques To Do Scalable Verificatin Of System Designs Completely Automatically.
The Verification Techniques Presented In Thos Book Include Methocs For Verifying Properties Of High-level Designs And Methods For Verifying That The Translation From High-level Design To A Low-level Register Transfer Language (rtl) Design Preserves Semantics.
Used Together, These Techniques GuaranteeT ht Properties Verified In The High-level Design Are Preserved Through The Translation To Low-level Rtl.
