The authors and editors have made an admirable contribution to make such an evaluation and fill a big gap in our knowledge..One of the many good features of this evaluation is that it takes into account the specific relationship of ICT with the wider social and economic system and the national system of innovation of each country." Christopher Freeman, Emeritus Professor and Founding Director of the Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU), University of Sussex, Brighton, UK. "Running across the informative chapters on the diverse experience of several important countries with ICT is a unifying theory of what it takes for successful economic development in today's globalized economy... The case studies show different countries wrestling with the problem, some doing better and some worse. This is a fascinating and important book." Richard R. Nelson, George Blumenthal Professor (Emeritus) of International and Public Affairs, Business, and Law, Columbia University, New York, USA. "This book is important because it gives insight into the role of ICT and ICT policy in the most important emerging economies in the world." Bent ke Lundvall, Professor of Economics, Aalborg, University, Denmark. This book was selected as Book of the Month in March 2006 by the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at John F Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, USA. It has been endorsed by some of the leading thinkers in the field, including two Nobel prize nominees in economics. It is also listed as a resource on the world Bank's website. A section of it has been licensed by the Open University UK for its worldwide course on technology. 606 $aInformation technology 606 $aInformation technology$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aInformation technology. 615 0$aInformation technology 676 $a303.4833 701 $aBaskaran$b Angathevar$01612893 701 $aMuchie$b Mammo$01612894 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911107725403321 996 $aBridging the digital divide$94780871 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05165nam 2200589Ia 450 001 9911139831303321 005 20251116192119.0 010 $a1-281-03337-5 010 $a9786611033378 010 $a0-08-052655-1 035 $a(CKB)1000000000384847 035 $a(EBL)317038 035 $a(OCoLC)476109619 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000097623 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11122300 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000097623 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10120808 035 $a(PQKB)11146396 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC317038 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000384847 100 $a19960501d1996 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aAdvanced catalysts and nanostructured materials $emodern synthetic methods /$fedited by William R.

The Synthesis of Nanostructured Pure-Phase Catalysts by Hydrodynamic Cavitation 330 $aThe time has come for an assessment of the most important techniques for the fabrication of advanced catalysts. Catalyst production alone is more than a billion dollar business each year, and the product value of chemical processes using advanced catalysts is a few trillion dollars annually. This book seeks to provide a modern, materials science account of the best and most current techniques for the synthesis of advanced catalytic materials.Until now, there has been no single book which contains a definitive and comprehensive description of the important technologies for catalyst synthesi 606 $aCatalysts 606 $aOrganic compounds$xSynthesis 615 0$aCatalysts. 615 0$aOrganic compounds$xSynthesis. 676 $a660/.2995 701 $aMoser$b William R$0530235 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911139831303321 996 $aAdvanced catalysts and nanostructured materials$9905515 997 $aUNINA
