Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Interpretation of contracts is said to make up a half of an English commercial lawyer s diet. This statement seems to be hardly conceivable unless interpretation is understood in broad terms so as to encompass, among other things, the application of widely used clauses. The book highlights, based on the relevant case law, some of the important practical issues connected with contractual interpretation. This consideration determines the structure of the book: Part I outlines general approaches to interpretation prevalent in the legal systems under consideration; Part II analyses problems related to the rules of admissibility of extrinsic evidence as a means of aid for interpretation; Part III examines the potential pitfalls of the application of business common sense and, finally, Part IV treats legal implications of interpretation of certain types of exculpation clauses which are all closed by final conclusions. The book will be useful for students and practicing lawyers in the area of commercial law. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Ghanäs effort to improve the standard of living of her citizenry has necessitated the promulgation of several policies and programmes, and the establishment of institutions to that effect. One of the most significant of them is the decentralisation programme, which is aimed at countering the widespread failure of centralised economic planning, to take account of local aspirations and to deliver appropriate local services. It was a move to a more democratic state, with much higher level of local representation, participation, choice and accountability which lend support for good governance and poverty reduction. The decentralisation programme offers a uniform structure and processes for all Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies but there would be different outcomes and outputs due to how each local authority implements the programme. Using the case of the Tema Metropolis, this study examines how governance and poverty reduction have been enhanced through decentralisation, with the view to informing future strategies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -One of the goals of today's conservation-restoration of cultural property (heritage) is to collect as much information before the intervention in cultural heritage.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Given the growing popularity of professor ratings websites and common departmental policies to keep official professor survey responses confidential, an important concern is the validity of these online ratings. A comparison of student responses to official end-of-semester teaching evaluations and unofficial professor ratings on two widely used websites at UC Berkeley (Rate My Professor and Ninja Courses) indicates that online ratings are significantly lower than their official counterparts. There is also relatively high correlation between official evaluations and online ratings, with most coefficients between 0.4 and 0.7. Similar downward bias was found in other American institutions (Rice University and Harvard University). Some of the bias in Rate My Professor is due to single ratings and early ratings, but similar results are found for Ninja Courses, which has stricter policies regarding posting. Ratings from both websites are not significantly correlated with grade distributions, suggesting that use of these sites for grade retaliation is uncommon. Neither official evaluations nor online ratings are significantly correlated with enrollment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study was carried out at Risø DTU (Denmark) during summer 2010 and was presented at the University of Barcelona (Spain) in July 2011 as the thesis of the Master in Meteorology. The main objective of this research work was to develop a statistical treatment to post-process Numerical Weather Predictions (NWP) outputs in order to improve short-term wind power forecasts. The proposed method is a Model Output Statistics (MOS) based on a multiple linear regression that screens the most relevant NWP forecast variables and selects best predictors, utilizing wind farm power output measurements as input. The proposed MOS performed well in the 2 studied wind farms. Its forecasts compare positively with actual operative model in use at Risø DTU and other MOS types, showing minimum BIAS and improving NWP power forecast of around 15% in terms of root mean square error.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Data mining is the process of gathering, searching, and analyzing a large amount of raw data, as to discover patterns, relationships and behavior of data. There are large numbers of algorithms for classification of data mining. Single algorithm is not efficient for classification of data and recognize their pattern and behavior .There is a key term known as ensemble learning which means Combining two or more classifiers for efficient result. I have used the KDD¿99 dataset for the experiment which have 41 features labeled either as normal or as an attack. In this book I have represented how graphical machine learning tool weka can be used for data mining and how ensemble learning can be implemented using weka.I have used three classifiers with the Bagging and Boosting ensemble learning approach which are complementary naïve bayes and two are rule based classifiers, part and jrip. My experiment shows that bagging improves the efficiency of the rule based classifiers as well as of naïve Bayes. However, the rule based classifiers become more efficient with bagging and boosting techniques.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.
