Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this modern time, the legal academia says that establishing different layers of government needs not only division of powers but also a framework in which these layers of government interact as independent and interdependent institutions. Such system is indispensible for realization of the objectives these spheres of governance are established for. One aspect of this system is supervision by central governments over activities of subnational units. Such supervision is of a particular significance where the central government is where important laws and policies are made and the others are implementers of same, and where subnational imbalance has found a solid foundation. This book focuses on supervision by central governments in two decentralized African states with such facts in comparative perspective. It would be important to researchers, educators and students of constitutional law, federalism and intergovernmental relations, in particular. 80 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -To address the problem of vehicular pollution in the Kathmandu Valley, the Government of Nepal responded with mainly command and control (CAC) measures such as emissions standards for new and in-use vehicles, banning of new two-stroke motorcycles, and lead phaseout from petrol. Since literature suggested that compared to CAC instruments, economic instruments are cost-effective, this study set out to examine whether fuel tax is indeed preferable. Quantitative analysis was carried out to evaluate the cost- effectiveness of policy measures. Toxicity weightage factors were assigned to the criteria pollutants to derive a composite index of toxic load' inventory while the prevailing costs were used for calculation. The findings of the research were mixed. While banning of new two-stroke motorcycles was found to be most cost-effective, setting of emissions standards for diesel vehicles was least cost-effective. The cost-effectiveness of a fuel tax was calculated for different tax regimes and found to fall in between. It suggested that both categories of instruments should be implemented to achieve the objective with least cost to society. 120 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -From 2007 onwards, Tour de France's two most influential organisations, Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO) and Union Cycliste International (UCI), publicly communicated their dispute regarding their cooperation of the Tour de France in the fight against doping. This book analyses how the unethical traits of the two organisations' public communication correlates with tendencies of a Western society. In order to uncover the relations, a critical discourse analysis is conducted. Norman Fairclough's Three Dimensional Model serves as the overall framework for the analysis. Within the dimensions, the two organisations' communication will be analysed according to theories of functional grammar, persuasion theory, crisis communication as well as cultural theories in order to identify the society tendencies which exist in the context of the communication. This analysis provides an example for professional communicators of the embedded correlations between communication and society. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Brain drain is the exit of employees who hold any skill, competency, or personal attribute that may be considered highly needed and valuable organizational assets. This cross-border movement of skilled human resources staying a broad for extended periods of time is a growing phenomenon severely affecting the African continent. In order to investigate its causes and characteristics, this study has examined empirical evidence on two public institutions in Ethiopia. From the sample respondents, the researcher has found that although the causes of brain drain in Ethiopia are multifaceted, the major one are poor remuneration system and political inconvenience. Because other studies have also indicated that the causes of brain drain in developing countries are similar; the findings and the researcher's recommendations in this study could be used by other government policy makers, private organizations and other institutions that have involved in mitigating the problems of brain drain. 96 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an important part of most companies' activities, and the need for knowledge about the concept and the communication of it has increased. The communication of CSR is essential as it is the relation between a company and its stakeholders, and hence the way the stakeholders are informed about the companies' CSR efforts. This book discusses the concept of CSR, which serves as a foundation for communicating CSR most optimal. The discussion about CSR communication turns to the development of the RAU Communication Model that further is applied in the empirical analysis of Nestlé's CSR initiative The Cocoa Plan'. Through the documentary Does Your Favourite Chocolate Have a Bitter Taste' Nestlé's credibility is questioned, as the documentary proves how Nestlé buys cocoa beans from suppliers that make use of child labour and trafficking of children. A company can foster an identity, and professionally communicate it to its stakeholders, but Nestlé's true commitment to CSR is challenged. 100 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There are many clinical and experimental evidences indicating the involvement of oxidative stress in pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and its complications. Increased oxidative stress is due to excessive reactive oxygen species generation due to persistent hyperglycemia and a sharp reduction of antioxidants defenses and the tissue antioxidant status. An imbalance between oxidative stress and antioxidative defense mechanisms in diabetics can result in cell and tissue damage and accelerate diabetic complications. There is mounting evidence that a general increase in antioxidant status achieved by dietary supplementation can help to diminish oxidative stress in diabetics and profoundly contribute to reduce the severity of the disease. Plant antioxidants by virtue of their antioxidant activity, may exert beneficial implications for diabetes management. This book highlights the various methods to assess antioxidant activity of medicinal plants. It also contributes to ascertain the utility of plant antioxidants to markedly complement the anti- diabetic therapies by reducing the oxidative stress in diabetics and its associated complications. 76 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The objective of this work is to design Proportional Integral Derivative controller using PLC and implement it to control the speed of a DC motor. The modifications of control system have to be done frequently. In order to do so we have to come across lots of complexities. These PLC based systems removes the detailed hardware design considerations. Now PLC offers us an easy technique to modify the wiring of control system without changing its hardware. The speed of a DC motor is controlled here by varying the armature voltage using PLC as discrete state controller. Thus by applying an appropriate ladder logic a PID controller is developed as it has the combined advantages of proportional, integral & derivative control action. Here soft start method is implemented to start the motor safely without any external starter. In this controller the set point can be changed during run time. So, it is not required to off the controller to set new set point speed. This increases the flexibility of the controller. The detail ladder logic, hardware components and circuit required to perform this work is discussed in this book. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The General Intensional Programming System (GIPSY) project aims at providing a software platform for the long-term investigation of intensional programming, a declarative programming paradigm suitable for scientific programming. GIPSY consists of a flexible compiler and a scalable runtime system, where the compiler translates any flavor of intensional program into source-language independent runtime resources, and the runtime system executes the program in a demand-driven and distributed manner, i.e. computation requirements are wrapped in demands and are distributed among network computers, so that computations can be executed distributively and concurrently to shorten their overall computation time. The multi-tier architecture adopted for the GIPSY runtime system aims at research goals such as scalability. This work covers the development of a scalable GIPSY runtime system using the multi-tier architecture, and presents the assessment of the scalability of the developed GIPSY runtime system. The book could be useful to researchers concerning system scalability, especially the scalability of distributed computing systems/applications. 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -It is well known that many processes in Mechanic, Physics, Economy, Biology and other sciences can be represented by operators. It is also known that many classical problems for differential equations usually involve local operators which some of them can be represented as nonlinear Nemytskii operator. This is an example of local operator which we concentrated the majority attention on this module. The Theory of Functional Differential Equations also involves inner superposition and integral operators, which are examples of disjointness-preserving and addictive orthogonally operators. These two operators was considered on this work. We also introduced the notion of partially disjointness-preserving operator. We analyzed general properties and the representation of all these operators on the space of measurable functions. Furthermore, we related one to another. 80 pp. Englisch.

Often toxic trace metal ions are released and spread into the surrounding, where they will be taken up into the biological chain ending very often inside us causing different diseases. When a human has been exposed to some kind of harm, it is critical to find quickly the substance causing the poisoning. It is critical to identify this polluting substance or compound and also to measure its concentration to find the best way for cure. One of the most inexpensive ways to perform chemical analyses of a large variety of heavy metal ions is to use electrochemical methods. Unfortunately voltammetric analytical methods require often sample pre-treatment. To overcome this kind of problem the ultrasound has been taken into arsenal of electrochemistry. The applied ultrasound provides continuous cleaning removing adsorbing organic compounds off the sensing electrode surface during the analysis of the analytes providing a fast sample pre-treatment free electroanalysis. This book is dedicated to the sonoelectroanalysis of cadmium, lead and zinc ions from a human blood. 48 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Use of combinations of organic materials and mineral fertilizers as sources of crop nutrients has widely been discussed and their relevance in arriving at sustainable soil fertility management practices that are environmentally friendly explained. Few publications go beyond the theoretical models and examine the practical issues involved. Given the level of soil degradation, mainly through erosion and nutrient mining, recapitalization of soil nutrient stocks is central to continued crop production. Combined nutrient sources play a crucial role in supporting crop production especially in the smallholder faming systems. This book therefore examines keys issues related to use of cattle manure, i.e., its quality, mineralization and immobilization effects, yield gains; and proposes logic of how to combine both high and low quality manures with mineral fertilizers. The issues raised in this book are important to researchers, extentionist, development practitioners and students studying agriculture. 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Despite several developed treatment protocols used for treatment of patient with precursor B-cell leukemia/lymphoma, many of these patients relapse. Most of these patients relapse from clinically inapparent minimal residual disease (MRD), which refers to the presence of clonal cells in BM after treatment in a level below the morphological detection. The ability to predict who will relapse while still in a minimal disease state has important clinical implications. A reliable technique for MRD detection should be specific, sensitive, reproducible and quantitative. Currently, PCR analysis of Ag receptor gene rearrangements and flowcytometry represent the most clinically useful targets for MRD analysis in ALL. Molecular techniques may be sequence- or non sequence based methods. This book will discuss the basic knowledge about precursor B-cell neoplasms, MRD and different molecular methods for its detection with stress on a non-sequence based technique. This book should be useful for both medical student and medical professional in the field of laboratory or clinical hematology. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -One of the main factors for the success of data mining is related to the comprehensibility of the patterns discovered by the computational intelligence techniques; with Bayesian networks standing as one of the most prominent, when considering the easiness of knowledge interpretation achieved. Its quantitative and qualitative semantics, allied to the comprehensibility of the patterns discovered, motivates its application in the knowledge discovery process. Bayesian networks, however, like any computational intelligence technique, presents limitations and disadvantages regarding its use; amongst which we can point the learning of the structure from large datasets and the provision of inferences throughout time. This book will show extensions for the improvement of Bayesian networks, presenting strategies to improve its properties, treating aspects such as performance, as well as interpretability and use of its results; incorporating models of multiple regression for structure learning, and temporal aspects using Markov chains. The models should help users extending the range of applicability of this versatile model for new domains and tasks. 80 pp. Englisch.
