This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In Telecommunication system, network devices process huge amount of data supplied by the network operators. Devices to obtain approved data which adheres to certain predefined restrictions to avoid failures during later stages is critical.Hence, the data sent by the N/W operator has to be validated against large number of constraints before it is processed by the N/W devices. Even though operators are aware of these constraints, but the inherent ambiguity associated with the natural language specification of constraint makes it difficult to send the correct data. Object Constraint Language (OCL) can play a vital role in specifying these constraints in an unambiguous manner. Ericsson, a Telecommunication giant aims to use OCL not only for constraint specification but also for automation of code generation from the OCL constraints. We have investigated the use of OCL in Ericsson s N/W models and the feasibility of code generation from these constraints. Our study recommends use of OCL for constraint specification and automation of constraint code generation for Ericsson system.Utilization of OCL on the network nodes can be a step forward for Ericsson towards Model Driven Development. 104 pp. Englisch.

Their priorities include developing African based academic programs that suits African needs and produce effective graduates who can help transform the continent. Many Universities are challenged to maximize the available human resources in developing each person's moral and intellectual sagacity, and promote activities that are geared toward moving the continent forward, as well as to take the lead in the overall effort to make our world a better place. Madonna University, however, has embarked on special academic program that is correcting these challenges (madonnau.edu.ng). This work suggests programs that focus on the mutual relationship between academics and morals, faith and reason, unity and diversity, as well as the essential wisdom of Catholic university education and the corresponding philosophical concept of human being as, 'the good that is.'

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study explores cultural-identity conflicts among bilingual students at San Francisco State University. The aim of this study was to understand how students perceive and negotiate the differences between their home discourse and the Academic discourse used in college writing courses. Seventy-three bilingual students completed a language questionnaire, and seven of these students were later interviewed. In the end, students felt more American after speaking English and thought that English facilitated new friendships but, at the same time, hindered family relationships. Students also struggled to participate and write in their composition courses, and most students felt they had a unified or duel identity. However, others expressed the need to create a hybrid identity. Students negotiated these language tensions/difficulties by using both languages frequently, by code switching, or by using their first language in their composition classroom. On the whole, this study seeks to promote bilingual awareness and calls for an expansion in cultural-identity repertoire. 68 pp. Englisch.

The approach dwells on the fields of sociology of education and technology as a way that requires new semiotic fields, i.e. to identify the challenges of pragmatics, semantics and syntax for us to refer to reality and it s complex relationships.To know is to develop a true sense from language and from reality itself, because it involves much more than choosing and adapting knowledge structures either from the existing paradigms or from the emerging fields that allow us to try new attempts to explain in a complex world that reinvents the meaning of language, which draws on technological developments and forms complex systems that require us to reshape our frame of reference.At least, the parameters of scientific legitimacy are based on criteria of relevance and development of relational strategies, such as the path in the global concert that are associated with an increased need to focus processes of knowle 72 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Using nine reflections as a centerpiece, this paper aims to inform readers about the power that an international travel experience and/or practica in dual-language environments can have in becoming a more effective teacher, a culturally responsive teacher. Students with diverse backgrounds (that are different from their teacher) may have extra difficulty communicating or expressing their thoughts and ideas. Teachers need to recognize these difficulties and respond appropriately and in a constructivist manner to encourage and promote student learning. If students needs are rejected, teachers could generate student resistance towards learning and lose the valuable opportunity to hear diverse perspectives on a variety of issues.Throughout this paper, I will compare and share reflections I gathered from observations of mainstream and sheltered learning environments for ELLs (English language learners). These shared reflections will serve as an example of what it means to be a culturally responsive teacher. I will also explore how teacher education programs could ensure pre-service teachers are exposed to the pedagogies and practices needed to become CRTs. 56 pp. Englisch.

For any Industry to be profitable, there should be a proper inventory procurement and a good control system.Effective productivity depends on effective inventory in terms of quantity and quality. Inventory stocked may attain different levels: maximum reorder and minimum levels. A company that aims at remaining effectively productive would always place orders the moment the reorder level is reached. The effect of this is that breakdowns in productions and stockouts of inventory would be a reality. Monthly stock taking always assists the company to readjust the arrival of inventory in a production. For a manufacturing Industry to be effective, an integrative system of checking movement of inventory among department should be established and enhanced. Proper attention should be given to inventories needed by the company to prevent overstocking and understocking. 84 pp. Englisch.

Since 1980,Zimbabwe has been trying to provide an education that is relevant to the needs of the individual learners,the national economy the society at large and also the future challenges of the country. Vocationalsing the curriculum was seen as one way of acheiving this type of education and efforts to vocationalise the curriculum were embarked upon. This book analyses factors that hinder the success of vocationalising the school curriculum. Factors related to the nature of the programmes,type of schools and communities where implementation takes place, theories of learning, type of examination used and the policy governing the implementation are analysed. This analysis should help educationists, both implementers and policy makers to know factors that threaten the successful vocationalisation of the curriculum so as to make it relevant. 100 pp. Englisch.

The objective of the present work is to study the aerodynamic characteristics of different asymmetric re-entry vehicles. An algorithm based on Yee, Sandham, and Djomehri's high resolution, low dissipation numerical scheme is constructed, and the associated computational code is developed. This developed code is then validated by different test cases. Aerodynamic performances of asymmetric re-entry vehicles with different configurations and orientations are computed using the low dissipative high resolution artificial compression method. Upper portion of a symmetrical blunt body is cut by three different plane surfaces at three different locations to generate asymmetric blunt bodies. Effects of cutting plane angles and locations are studied. Present study shows that, for a given range of angles of attack and flight conditions, improved lift and stability in longitudinal plane and better control in transverse plane can be achieved by generating appropriate asymmetric re-entry vehicles. 100 pp. Englisch.

This will be compared against soccer, which is far and away the most popular and important sport in Europe. The United States economy is theoretically a free-market system. In contrast, Europe s economic system is rooted in regulated and interventionist principles. Interestingly, the economic policies of soccer and football as industries do not follow the economic philosophies predominant in their respective home regions; in many ways they actually operate directly to the contrary. In both soccer and football the inflow and outflow of capital are derived primarily from the same three sources: media and televisions rights, merchandising and sponsorship rights, and player salaries. Examining these areas shows the ways in which the economic structures confound societal expectations. The four primary reasons behind this paradox are: the different structures of the governing bodies, the different ownership structures of the teams/clubs, the different levels of competition between teams in each region, and the difference in length of outlook for economic decision making by those in charge. 88 pp. Englisch.

The students learned about several basic properties of water such as absorption, cohesion, and surface tension through a variety of hands on experiences developed according to the theories of problem-based learning. These lessons used a variety of multimedia instructional tools that helped engage student interest and enthusiasm. After several lessons on the characteristics and composition of water, students worked in groups to explore ways in which water acts and reacts on the planet. The sixth graders began their design challenges. Each group researched their topic and gathered information from primary and secondary resources. Then, they acted as engineers to design and create instruments or tools (whichever is required by their specific design challenge) to illustrate the process or topic they researched. Finally, the groups put together a tri-fold board explaining their engineering process and created a brochure. Their designs were showcased at the Sixth Grade Water Symposium. 120 pp. Englisch.

The last three decades had quantitative social demand with every household craving for multiple graduates. However, the persistent fall in the standard of education is now bothering the Government and Stakeholders. With this, attention is now being shifted from quantitative education to qualitative education, hence the introduction of Total Quality Control by government agencies via monitoring and supervision. Past researchers` investigations have been on social demand of education with just few concentrating on the qualitative aspect in most developing countries. This book therefore provides multiple approaches on detecting ways through which quality standard education can be increasingly achieved, maintained and sustained. Five hypotheses were postulated and tested while independent t-test statistics were used in the analysis of data. The result help shed light on the effect of punctuality and regularity of students and staff at lectures amongst other variables on Total Quality Control Measures at Tertiary Institutions. 76 pp. Englisch.

Being defined as the translation of economy-centric Marxism into culture-oriented neo-Marxism by the initiating figures of the first generation of the Frankfurt School, namely, Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer, the idea of culture industry is a plague by product of capitalism for its profit making motives that propels forth standardization and liquidation of individuality; hence, culture has been mass produced and deprived of individuality and uniqueness. This thesis is an attempt to evaluate F. Scott Fitzgerald s The Beautiful and Damned and The Great Gatsby in the light of a cultural Marxist theorist Theodor W. Adorno. It is illustrated that how culture industry demonstrates itself in various forms such as racism, jazz music, consumerism; instrumental rationality, and fetish character in two of the representative novels of the America s Roaring Twenties. 80 pp. Englisch.

For the purposes of advancing an objective and coherent argument it comparatively examines lexicological, phonological, syntactic and semantic aspects of Ndau and Mainstream Shona. The study explores the historical connections between the Ndau and the Shona people. It argues that the Ndau people were originally members of the ancient Rozvi Kingdom. It also establishes cultural and linguistic contacts between the Ndau and the Nguni people. This historic contact, as widely reported by linguists and historians tremendously contributed towards Ndau s linguistic divergence from Mainstream Shona, hereafter referred to as MS. This divergence is reflected through massive lexical, phonological and semantic differences between Ndau and MS. It portrays massive lexicological differences between Ndau and MS. Phonological aspects such as phonotactics, laterality, clicks, aspiration and ejection are also depicted as showing the influence of Nguni on Ndau. 100 pp. Englisch.

ICTs in the form of multimedia community centres/telecentres, especially at the rural level can act as a nodal point for community connectivity, local capacity building, content development and communications, and serve as hubs for applications, such as distance education, telemedicine, support to small, medium sized and micro-credit enterprises, promotion of electronic commerce, environmental management, and empowerment of women and youth. Where such services have a pro-ultra-poor strategy, then the benefits of ICTs can be directed to them. 80 pp. Englisch.

To be able to control the large number of parameters affecting the soil to concrete interface behavior, granular soil was manufactured using fly ash by cold bonding pelletization technique with predetermined shape and crushing strength.In practice, it is a common approach to multiply the internal friction angle with a reduction factor and assume this value as the interface friction angle. However, direct shear tests on the synthetic aggregates showed that the interface performance is highly related with crushing strength, shape and surface characteristics of granular materials, and also the surface characteristics of the concrete in contact. In geotechnical applications where soil and concrete are in touch, the behavior within the working conditions should be carefully studied and further attention must be paid on the physical and mechanical characteristics of the materials. 108 pp. Englisch.

The findings indicate that teachers were unable to sustain reflective journaling due to a complex interplay of diverse justifications: the way the concept of reflective journaling was introduced, and how this impacted on teachers knowledge and understanding of the concept and the activity of journaling; teachers perceptions and experiences of reflective journaling, which determined how and whether they valued it as meaningful to their profession; and other challenges they faced in reflecting through journals seem to have discouraged them from journaling. 112 pp. Englisch.
