Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The modern consumer seeks to maximise the value they receive from all their marketing exchanges. A retail centre can provide value by increasing the benefits it provides and/or by minimising the costs consumers face when visiting i…t. Current academic interest is typically focused on just the one side of this equation - the hedonic benefits of shopping. In contrast, the other side of the value equation - convenience - has been largely ignored, presumably because the few studies that have included it found it to be of relatively less importance. Given that we live in an era of convenience, such findings should be treated with a degree of scepticism. This study empirically develops and tests an alternative definition of convenience to that used by previous studies. Armed with this new definition, the study examines the influence of convenience over consumers choice between shopping malls and shopping strips. Convenience is shown to have a significant influence in determing where we choose to shop. 224 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The purpose of this thesis is to test the extended industry shock hypothesis, which accounts for a macro-economic capital liquidity element, in determining the drivers of merger waves. Various theories have been extended by the lit…erature and these are broadly classified under the neo-classical theory of merger waves and the behavioural theory of merger waves. Behavioural theories have explained merger waves by taking into account the psychology of stock markets and the occurrence of merger waves during a stock market boom. The industry shock hypothesis (a neo-classical theory) however, argues that merger waves are due to the clustering of industry shocks that affect an industry s operating environment. Along with this shock, the mis-valuation caused by a stock market boom increases asset values, thereby lowering transaction costs and hence increasing capital liquidity in the economy. This capital liquidity factor causes merger waves to cluster even if industry shocks do not. 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The aim of this book has been to examine how Japan's non-nuclear policy evolved over time, in order to assess the likelihood of Japan 'going nuclear' in the foreseeable future. Evidence has been gathered from several diverse source…s, including academic publications and media reports as they have appeared over time in both print and electronic form. The information thus gathered has been presented in the form of a chronological report of the various events and circumstances which have occurred both within and external to Japan, over the decades between World War II and the present day, and which have impacted on the evolution of Japan's so-called 'nuclear allergy' and caused much debate from both 'hawks' and 'doves' in Japan. The possibility that such an allergy may soon be coming to an end is consequently considered by listening carefully to comparative Japanese voices. It is contended as a result of this investigation that Japan's 'nuclear allergy' arose as the result of its particular set of historical circumstances - that is, its status as the only nation to have suffered nuclear attack on its home soil - and is thus somewhat ideological in nature. 100 pp. Englisch.

More importantly it states what policy distribution channels Latvian government is using, what problems its facing and how it deals with them. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A commonly held view of the notion of a free press is that it can only be achieved by allwoing the media to take a negative stance against the ruling government or party. This book strongly believes that this is an imported ideolog…y, and there, it should not be used to measure media freedom because of its origin. It is a western ideology, anmd from developed states (continents). African media needs to work hand in hand with governments to promote nation building, and that this can work well even in countries that have been identified to have most media unfriendly reporting environments. This is the only was Africa/nations will be ablew to conserve their traditions and cultures which gives the ma sence of belonging. 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study tried to see the link between access to finance and proximity to product markets and poverty in five coffee-growing zones of Ethiopia. The incidence of poverty was found to be rampant in the study area. Access to finance… was significant in explaining the level of poverty in the sample households. Households who had an access to credit had more probability of getting out of poverty than households who didn t have an access to it. The welfare of households with nearer product markets was better than the welfare of households having distant product markets. Access to rural credit and proximity to product markets matter for the poor and were critical determinants of the welfare status of households in these coffee growing zones. Therefore, provision of rural credit to these households will help them finance investments and to insure against risks and thereby enhances their welfare. Making markets work for the poor is important because the poor rely on formal and informal markets to sell their products. Well-functioning markets are important in generating growth and expanding opportunities for the poor. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Norwegian government declared 2008 to be Mangfoldsåret or The Year of Cultural Diversity, in hopes of creating a more inclusive and multicultural arts scene. This study investigates the year through the lens of institutional th…eatres in Oslo, with focus on Ibsen performance. Both of these fields possessed the potential to make meaningful political statement in Mangfoldsåret, and demonstrate that the government and Norwegian arts scene were truly committed to raising the level of cultural diversity in the arts: theatre is the most heavily subsidized arts sector, with the institutional theatres enjoying the majority of these subsidies, and Ibsen is one of Norway's largest national cultural icons. How would these national institutions--both the institutional theatres and the cultural institution of Ibsen--respond to the government's demands The structures behind the Norwegian theatre system are also analyzed to gain better understanding of the reasons as to why culturally-diverse influences and actors face such difficulty in penetrating the system, and to assess whether such problems can truly be solved with a cultural diversity year. 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Employee motivation is becoming more and more popular topic in the companies. Employers focus their attention to motivation theories to get the best from the workers. Employee motivation receives desired attention in each economica…l sphere. When designing motivation system, it is inevitable to take into consideration employees' preferences and interests. Appropriate stimulation reflects in work performance and results, and therefore in the whole-company results. On the other hand, employees, who lack motivation, spread uncomfortable climate on a workplace and cause high fluctuation. Highly motivated employee works much more effectively and efficiently than an employee lacking interest and joy. The strongest motivator is said to be company's trust in people. There is the base of understanding, team spirit and favourable working atmosphere. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Disparities are visible across cities all over the world; disparities are also manifested within the same continent, same country, and same region.

This book shall look at the development of an urban dimension in European regional policy particularly in Cohesion policy aimed to tackle regional disparities ensuring sustainable communities and sustainable urban development. The analysis focuses on the use of an integrated approach to urban development particularly through different EU funded projects in Ireland, Slovenia and Malta.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Overweight during adolescence has social, economic and psychological consequences and low self-esteem is the first detrimental effect observed. Overweight adolescents with low self-esteem are more likely to engage in high-risk beha…viors. Besides addiction, another possible explanation for the continuation of smoking by adolescents is the belief that it can help control body weight. The study is aimed to determine the prevalence of overweight and smoking; the association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and smoking; the association between self-esteem and smoking; and comparison of self-esteem between overweight and non-overweight among secondary school students in Kelantan. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1364 randomly selected Form 2 and Form 4 students in 10 co-educational government secondary schools in Kota Bharu. A survey data analysis was applied. The prevalence of overweight and smoking was 12.5% and 6.7% respectively. There was no association between BMI and smoking; no association between self-esteem and smoking; and no difference in self-esteem between overweight and non- overweight adolescents in Kota Bharu. 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Human rights,' the common value of human beings, are based on human wants-on those things necessary. The meaning of human rights is contested and how to apply the contested idea of human rights is more contested not only in Vietna…m but also in many countries in the world. For human rights in Vietnam, many scholars and activists had different approaches, ideas, and conceptions. By using historical, comparative method and analysis, I call for all sides to carry out constructive dialogues to narrow differences in human rights and bring common ground on which to work out solutions to old problems and contend. It is wrong to use human rights as a political tool and oppose each other. As human rights or human dignity is inviolable and to respect and to protect human dignity is duty of all human being. 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is a collection of three papers on industrial structure and international trade policy issues. The first paper is a theoretical study in the political economy of trade policies and the effect of these policies on industri…al growth. The second paper is an empirical investigation of the political and economic forces which influence trade policy. U.S. trade and industry data were used and all estimations were strictly guided by the model developed in the first paper. The third paper provides a transaction cost explanation of the pattern of industrial expansion in the ready-made garment sector of Bangladesh. This book will be useful to students and researchers in the areas of endogenous tariff, political economy and the new economics of institutions. The book may help resolve some of the contradictions that seem to exist between theoretical predictions and empirical observations in these areas of research. It also reinforces some of the findings of other research carried out in these areas. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The last few years have seen an increase in microfinance activities in Cameroon, with an increase in the number of microfinance institutions. In most developing countries access to financial services has usually been linked to deve…lopment. In Cameroon the focus has recently been on community development. This book aims to undertake an examination of the use of micro financing as a tool to community development in Cameroon, using the case study of the Buea Community. Some economist generally see Microfinance as a solution to poverty reduction and poverty alleviation. This area of research is of critical importance to policy makers and as a result confirms the need of an empirical research through a sound scientific research finding as seen in this book. The lack of information and specification of the impact of microfinance on community development in Cameroon leads to poorly defined mitigation startegies and eventually poor policies. Therefore this book will make a contribution to filling the existing information gap regarding the influence of microfinance on community development in Cameroon. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The mineral content-Sodium(Na), Potassium(K), calcium(Ca), Magnesium(Mg) and Phosphorus(P) of seawater, sediment and some species of seaweeds namely Sargassum duplicatum, Turbinaria ornata, Padina boryana, Colpomenia sinuosa, Ulva…reticulata and Ulva fasciata were investigated. These were the major variety of seaweeds available in the coastal lagoons of Mauritius.The selected sites were Poste Lafayette, Pointe d Esny, La Cuvette and Pointe aux Sables. Different analytical methods were used in this study.Na, K and Ca were analysed by Flame photometry, Mg was analysed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry and P was analysed by Spectrophotometry.In addition, chlorophyll a content of Ulva species was investigated by Spectrophotometry. It was found that the macromineral profiles were dominated by Ca, Mg K, and Na. The trend in mineral profile of seaweeds followed the sequence Ca Mg KNa. Poste Lafayette was considered as a control site and it was found to have the highest overall mineral concentration(54.109 g/Kg) in seaweeds. Amongst the mineral studied, it was found that calcium was dominant in nearly all the seaweeds studied. This was because most of them were calcareous species. 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The aim of this book is to explore the algebraic and combinatorial properties of simplicial complexes. Let S = k[x1, x2, ., xn] be a polynomial ring over an infinite field k. Note that, there is a natural bijection between the squa…re-free monomial ideals (so called non facet ideals) and simplicial complexes introduced by R.P. Stanley. Later Faridi introduced another correspondence betweeen the square-free monomial ideals (so called facet ideals) and simplicial complexes. So, corresponding to a square-free monomial ideal I in S, one can consider I as the facet ideal of one simplicial complex and as the non-face ideal for another . In this book, we mainly discuss the invariants between these two simplicail complexes. Also we have discuss about a new class of ideals called f-ideals and its properties. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We study the problem of designing the controllers that are robust with respect to the parametric uncertainty. In Part I The Rank-One Problem we consider the class of systems with restriction that the structure of uncertainty is lim…ited to a vector. We extend the class of the allowed systems. The main result is the canonical parametrization of all destabilizing uncertainties. We also present a method of obtaining the suboptimal controller of lower order that provides the stability margin as close to the optimal one as we wish. We propose a numerical algorithm for the optimal robust control synthesis. In the special case, when the uncertainty parameter is real-valued, we show that the initial problem can be considered as finite-dimensional in the space of variables (semi-infinite convex programming). Part II Convex Duality: Matrix Case generalizes the results to the systems with matrix uncertainties. 108 pp. Englisch.

It seems that the textile images cannot be processed with manually. It is required tha…t textile images are categorized as suitable classes to profit from these images. In this book, it is explained how huge textile images are classified into striped, plaided and speckled image classes. Striped images are also categorized into the classes of horizontal, vertical, 45 and 135 degree lines. Line and circle features have been used for the classification methods. To detect line and circle features of the images, it is applied to line detection operator and Hough transform method respectively. With the line feature, striped and plaided images are classified, but speckled images are found with circle feature. For the classification of the textile images, some classification methods are used as Manual Thresholding, Nearest Neighbor, k-Nearest Neighbor, Minimum Distance. The system has been evaulated in detail, and the experimental results show that the developed system categorized the textile images successfully. 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book, we address the problem of sensor fault diagnosis in complex systems. The motivation for this work is the common problem encountered in industrial setting, i.e. sensor shift, drift and outright failure. The approach pr…oposed in this paper is based on Auto-Associative Neural Networks but has been extended to address some intrinsic deficiencies of these types of networks in practical setting. In particular, it is shown that the proposed approach provides the basic functionality needed for sensor fault detection in a multi-sensor environment with limited additional computational burden. 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For ages, people have recognized the importance of healing herbs. This is because human beings have coevolved with plants over the past few million years. Most of the degenerative diseases viz., AIDS, cancer, diabetes, ageing, etc.…, that afflict humanity have their origin in toxic free radical reactions. Most free radical damage to cells involves active oxygen species (AOS). In fact,human is not genetically adapted to survive past middle age hence antioxidant supplementation of our diet is needed to ensure a healthier elderly population. This concept has captured the attention of scientists to prove the medicinal properties of herbs using the scientific tools. Herbs, rich source of antioxidants, are considered effective in counteracting AOS related disorders. This book documents a scientific record of the antioxidant activities of Withania and Rauwolfia, reputed for curing several diseases. AOS scavenging capacity was evinced in various parts of these herbs. This book will prove a useful reference for the professionals in pharmaceutics and aayurveda, or anyone else who may be using plant parts as a natural source of antioxidants or dietary products. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Motor proteins are enzymes that are responsible for molecular transport. Those proteins convert the chemical energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP directly into mechanical work and are necessary for the eukaryotic cell to achie…ve complex organizational and structural tasks. Motor proteins allow efficient transport of molecular structures and organelles such as vesicles, mitochondria, and chromosomes which is necessary since diffusion is too slow to efficiently move material from one part of the cell to another on physiological time scales [1]. This ability to control cellular transport processes and cell structure allowed for the development of complex cellular organelles such as cilia or flagella in single-cell organisms and made possible the development of multi-cellular organisms with highly specialized cells. Those molecular motors have served as an important model system for understanding biological motility. Microtubule-based motors of the kinesin superfamily are involved in intracellular transport, mitosis and meiosis, control of microtubule dynamics and signal transduction pathways [2]. 68 pp. Englisch.
