It has been said that relationships would be so much easier if they could be accomplished alone. Well, to some extent relationships can be a solo endeavor, but the fulfillment factor tends to wane in proportion to the amount of chafing that occurs. And so, someone else becomes one of the basic requirements for a successful relationship. Beyond this, however, we have little to help us understand how to foster good relationships other than the advice of our family and friends whose soap-opera lives leave us wondering about the veracity of their wisdom. Thus, our relationships become a learn-as-we-go-spiraling-into-the-abyss proposition. But somehow over time we do learn. So, in order to alleviate the pain of this often lengthy learning curve, I have written this book as a field guide to help those of you who are unsure of who to turn to regarding our often difficult and embarrassing relationship concerns.

'This book is a rare addition to the literature on reforms in banking regulation. It brings together discussion and commentary from distinguished scholars covering the key area of bank corporate governance. The volume is as much reflective as forward looking and would appeal to students, academics and practitioners who wish to keep abreast of developments in this critical field and develop a more in-depth understanding of the complex and challenging nature of bank corporate governance.'- Emilios Avgouleas, University of Edinburgh, UK'This timely and thought-provoking collection explores a number of aspects of the current system of corporate governance in banks, probes their limitations and makes suggestions for further reform. It will be of particular interest to postgraduate students and researchers, academics and policy makers in the fields of banking or corporate governance.'- Andrew Johnston, University of Sheffield, UKCorporate governance in financial institutions has come under the spotlight since the banking crisis in the UK in 2008-9. In many respects, the banking business raises unique problems for corporate governance that are not found in other corporate sectors. The Law on Corporate Governance in Banks is the first work to provide a detailed survey and practical examination of key topical issues in the corporate governance of banks and financial institutions.Combining the insight and expertise of leading corporate lawyers in the field with rigorous academic analysis, the book unpicks and clarifies the legal issues that confront corporate and banking law practitioners when advising banks and financial institutions, including; governance structure, collective board responsibility, directors liability, the role of shareholders, corruption control mechanisms, remuneration, corporate accountability, and risk management.With its practical focus and strong theoretical platform, this book will be an important resource for corporate and financial lawyers seeking to understand and advise on the changing and dynamic legal landscape.Key features of the book include:- An author team of senior practitioners and leading academic experts- Detailed treatment of all the key corporate governance issues in financial sector- Comprehensive and up-to-date legislative analysis of latest reforms.

The limited capability of conventional controllers to control complicated, dynamical, systems has motivated research into so-called intelligent control systems. In this project, a genetic algorithm is used to tune a fuzzy logic controller by finding a set of controller coefficients that minimize the tracking error and control effort. The principle assumption in this application is that traditional analysis has not been performed in the design of the controller. The control system will learn how to control the nonlinear system by learning the system?s characteristics in real time. The genetic algorithm has been applied in the optimization of various aspects of these intelligent controllers. Work in the area of GAs applied to fuzzy control is broadly split into two categories: tuning of the membership functions and elicitation of the rulebase in by varying the rulebase parameters. Most of this work has been performed offline. In our system, the tuning of the fuzzy logic controller takes place on line, while the system is operating.
