The Routledge Handbook of Taxation and Philanthropy ventures into a territory that is still widely unexplored. It contains 30 academic contributions that aim to provide a better understanding of whether, why, and how philanthropic initiatives, understood as voluntary contributions for the common good, can and should be fostered by states through tax incentives. The topic has been addressed from…

This monograph is devoted to problems of propagation and stability of linear and nonlinear waves in continuous media with complex structure. It considers the different media, such as solid with cavities, preliminary deformed disperse medium, solid with porosity filled by the electrically conductive and non-conductive liquid, magnetoelastic, piezo-semiconductors, crystals with dislocations, comp…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/methods-of-protein-detection-in-cancer-for-diagnosis-prognosis-and-therapyEmerging proteomic technologies offer new insight in the study of malignant tumor to identify protein biomarkers for early detection, stratification, prediction and monitoring of treatment, as well as to detect target molecules for therapy. The tumor protein biomarker is resp…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/anti-inflammatory-potential-of-ginseng-for-wound-healingThe recovery of skin wounds is a complex biological process involving three basic mechanisms: inflammatory phase, re-epithelialization followed by granulation and tissue remodeling. The interactions between inflammatory cells, fibroblasts, and keratinocytes induce microenvironmental changes at…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/particle-filter-based-approach-for-remaining-useful-life-prediction-of-high-speed-shaft-bearing-in-wThis work involves a novel data-driven procedure using vibration analysis for bearing health prognosis. In this work, we investigate the time-domain features and applying spectral kurtosis features in order to extract the damage indicators which even…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/analysis-of-geometric-parameters-of-the-nozzle-orifice-on-cavitating-flow-and-entropy-production-in-In this chapter, we investigated the effect of geometric parameters of the nozzle orifice on cavitating flow and entropy production in a diesel injector. Firstly, we analyzed the effect of some parameters of diesel injector such as the nozzle length …
