Chakravarty1st editionHoboken, New Jersey :Wiley,2018.©20181 online resource (1 volume) illustrations1-119-25690-9 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.“An indispensable reference for all researchers interested in the measurement of social welfare. . .” —François Bourguignon, Emeritus Professor at Paris School of Economics, Former Chief Economist of the World Bank. “. . .a detailed, insightful, and pedagogical presentation of the theoretical grounds of multidimensional well-being, inequality, and poverty measurement. Any student, researcher, and practitioner interested in the multidimensional approach should begin their journey into such a fascinating theme with this wonderful book.” —François Maniquet, Professor, Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium. A Review of the Multidimensional Approaches to the Measurement of Welfare, Inequality, and Poverty Analyzing Multidimensional Well-Being: A Quantitative Approach offers a comprehensive approach to the measurement of well-being that includes characteristics such as income, health, literacy, and housing. The author presents a systematic comparison of the alternative approaches to the measurement of multidimensional welfare, inequality, poverty, and vulnerability. The text contains real-life applications of some multidimensional aggregations (most of which have been designed by international organizations such as the United Nations Development Program and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) that help to judge the performance of a country in the various dimensions of well-being. The text offers an evaluation of how well a society is doing with respect to achievements of all the individuals in the dimensions considered and clearly investigates how achievements in the dimensions can be evaluated from different perspectives. The author includes a detailed scrutiny of alternative techniques for setting weights to individual dimensional metrics and offers an extensive analysis into both the descriptive and welfare theoretical approaches to the concerned multi-attribute measurement and related issues. This important resource: • Contains a synthesis of multidimensional welfare, inequality, poverty, and vulnerability analysis • Examines aggregations of achievement levels in the concerned dimensions of well-being from various standpoints • Shows how to measure poverty using panel data instead of restricting attention to a single period and when we have imprecise information on dimensional achievements • Argues that multidimensional analysis is intrinsically different from marginal distributions-based analysis Written for students...Social indicatorsEconomic indicatorsQuality of lifeStatistical methodsWell-beingStatistical methodsElectronic books.Social indicators.Economic indicators.Quality of lifeStatistical methods.Well-beingStatistical methods.306Chakravarty Satya R.239019MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910270864603321Analyzing multidimensional well-being2795047UNINA04300nam 22006975 450 991043785810332120251202134756.09783642393396364239339X10.1007/978-3-642-39339-6(OCoLC)857901280(MiFhGG)GVRL6WUW(CKB)3710000000015874(MiAaPQ)EBC1398827(MiFhGG)9783642393396(DE-He213)978-3-642-39339-6(EXLCZ)99371000000001587420130830d2013 u| 0engurun|---uuuuatxtccrGenomics of Soil- and Plant-Associated Fungi /edited by Benjamin A.

It analyzes how the specific interactions with the hosts and the influence of the environment may have shaped genome evolution. The relevance of fungal genetic research and biotechnological applications is shown for areas such as plant pathogenesis, biomass degradation, litter decomposition, nitrogen assimilation, antibiotic production, mycoparasitism, energy, ecology, and also for soil fungi turning to human pathogens. In addition to the model organisms Neurospora and Aspergillus, the following species are covered providing a view of pathogens and mutualists: Trichoderma, Fusarium oxysporum, Cochliobolus heterostrophus, Penicillium chrysogenum, Rhizopus oryzae, Podospora anserina, and species belonging to Agaricomycetes, Archaeorhizomycetes and Magnaporthaceae. Ecology and potential applications have guided the choice of fungal genes to be studied and it will be fascinating to follow the trends of future sequencing projects.Soil Biology,2196-4831 ;36Microbial geneticsPlant diseasesIndustrial microbiologySoil scienceMicrobial GeneticsPlant PathologyIndustrial MicrobiologySoil ScienceMicrobial genetics.Plant diseases.Industrial microbiology.Soil science.Microbial Genetics.Plant Pathology.Industrial Microbiology.Soil Science.570579.1718579/.1718Horwitz Benjamin A.MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910437858103321Genomics of Soil- and Plant-Associated Fungi2542170UNINA
