Neuware -A comprehensive analysis of the ultrastructure of paramural bodies and other entities in the plasma membrane at the formation of the secondary cell walls of plants is made. The objectives of our research on the formation of paramural bodies were: to analyze the ultrastructure of the formations found between the plasma membrane and the secondary cell wall during the formation of the polysaccharide cell wall of flax phloem fibers, tension wood of poplar, seed hairs of cotton (trichome), secondary phloem fibers of hemp), to determine the origin (the cause) of these paramural bodies. The accumulated in our research material on studying the formation of the secondary cell walls of plants of different species has allowed us to contribute to the debate about some causes of plasmatubules origin in the area between the plasma membrane and cell wall, dynamics of their formation and structure. In the cases under consideration at the formation of the secondary cell wall, we deal to a greater extent with the structures arisen as a result of plasmolysis. The author concludes that the structures previously taken for plasmatubules in most cases are the Hecht's threads.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Gentry¿s bootstrapping technique is still the only known method for obtaining fully homomorphic encryption. I propose a new fully homomorphic encryption scheme on non-associative octonion ring over finite field without bootstrapping technique. The security of the proposed fully homomorphic encryption scheme is based on computational difficulty to solve the multivariate algebraic equations of high degree while the almost all multivariate cryptosystems proposed until now are based on the quadratic equations avoiding the explosion of the coefficients. Because proposed fully homomorphic encryption scheme is based on multivariate algebraic equations with high degree or too many variables, it is against the Gröbner basis attack. The key size of this system and complexity for enciphering/ deciphering become to be small enough to handle.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book presents the Albanian mafia contribution to the overall organized crime in the Republic of Macedonia. In addition, the aim and consequences of the ethnic conflict in Macedonia in 2001 which was carried out by the armed paramilitary group called National Liberation Army have been emphasized. The book is concluded with the analysis of 7 interviews, mostly in cooperation with university professors and people who have experience in combating organized crime in the country. The findings show the actual situation with the influence of the Albanian mafia in Macedonia. Such influence can be considered from several aspects, such as: participation of the Albanian mafia in total organized crime in Macedonia, the strong political pressure on the Government in the Republic of Macedonia that affects its legitimacy, and the psychological impact which has a destructive role on the country and its citizens.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The concept of disability has been examined from various cultural perspectives across the globe including Nigeria and found to be perceived differently in every culture. In Nigerian society, persons with disabilities have been incorrectly understood, which has led to their negative perception and treatment. Experience has shown that the beliefs a group of individuals hold about the causes of a disability, to a large extent, affect their attitudes toward persons with disability. Similarly, the perception of the cause of disability determines the kind of treatment meted. In Igbo culture, for instance, a disability may be attributed to the wrath of the gods, in which case the person is killed or thrown into an evil forest to be devoured by wild animals. The irony is that this treatment is given despite the level of intelligence the disabled person possesses. This attitude is inhuman and, therefore, sets the Igbo people backward instead of forward. It is towards this end that the author is concerned about what can be done to correct these erroneous beliefs and cause a shift in stand. This will move the society forward and cause the Igbo people to move to higher heights.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the silty Lithuanian lakes are accumulated about 1,5 mlrd. m3 sapropel. Sapropel is valuable organic, limy matter, which can be used for fertilization and improving of soil. Lakes sapropel of various chemical composition a potential fertilizers were studied at the Voke Branch of the Lithuanian Institute of Agriculture during 1984¿2008. Summarised results of a long-term experiment showed that calcareous sapropel reduced soil acidity, increased the amount of exchangeable bases. Under the influence of sapropel the contents of organic carbon and total nitrogen increased, as well. Experimental evidence suggests that organic and siliceous lakes ssapropel had no effect on soil acidity. The higher rate of sapropel increased the content of total nitrogen in the soil and humus. Also improved the quality of humus. Various rates of sapropel increased the soil moisture content and porosity, and declined soil bulk density. The higher rates of dry sapropel after 24 years of application increased the productivity of crops.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Tumor cells have developed advantages to acquire hallmarks of cancer through cell signaling pathways misregulation. The sequential activation of genes in a pathway is regulated by miRNAs. Loss or gain of miRNA expression could activate o repress a particular cell axis. miRNAs are grouped in clusters with anti-oncomiRs and oncomiRs function that regulate MAPK, PI3K-AKT, NOTCH, proteasome-culling rings, and apoptosis cell signaling. In the progression of cervical cancer there are three well-established steps to reach cancer that we used in the model proposed here. The first step comprises gene changes that occur in normal cells to be transformed into immortal cells, the second comprises immortal cell changes to tumorigenic cells, the third step includes cell changes to increase tumorigenic capacity, and the final step covers tumorigenic changes to carcinogenic cells. Altered miRNAs and their target genes are located in each one of the four steps of the multistep model of carcinogenesis. Pathways regulated by miRNA families in combination with carcinogenesis model will increase the knowledge of cervical cancer therapeutic, diagnostic and prognostic methodologies design.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This booklet is a summary of our work in the past ten years in the study of transport phenomena in granular materials and groundwater systems carried out in the Nuclear Research Institute at Rez and Department of Nuclear Chemistry of Czech Technical University in Prague. The main goal of our work was to find simple methods of mathematical modeling, which make possible to determine each of significant transport parameters of radionuclides in order to predict their behavior in studied systems. The presented examples of the use of this method are only partially taken from our previous work in this area. The full papers can be obtained in References. The data obtained by this simple method may well serve in the depiction of far field environment of the radioactive waste depository under normal conditions. In spite of fact that for some of us this work would be the swan-song of a relatively short period, we are convinced in the necessity of further studying this method mainly for the system, which have not been anticipated in the preceding studies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Throughout its vast content, the work ,Psihologia consonantist¿¿ (Consonantist psychology), uses nine universal laws i.e. those of equivalence, equilibrium, compensation, reaction, oscillation, reversibility, inertia, consonance, transformation, all based upon the resonance phenomenon. He was the first attempting to apply the feedback law (law of reversibility) in nature and society, in as many scientific fields as possible: philosophy, biology, psychology, sociology, political economics, mathematics and even medicine (psychoneurology, psychophysiology, psychopathology, interpsychology), enabling an easier understanding of the interrelations betwen biological, psychological and social factors, of the psycho-somatic connexions in the practice of psychosomatic medicine. The syntagm of consonantist psychosomatics facilitates a better understanding of the psychosomatic circuit, psychophysiologically and clinically expressed in the work of Stefan Odobleja.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book takes a revealing look at the experiences of a tribe with a rich cultural tradition in the Davao Regions ¿ the Tagakaulo. Caught between the desire to preserve their identity and the lure of migrating to the big city, six tribe members honestly share the problems encountered in their new environment and how these challenges have changed their perspectives on land ownership, livelihood, education and cultural preservation and loss.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the midst ¿or possibly the end- of the greatest bubble the art market has ever known, this book is an analysis of Sehgal¿s work in relation to the art market and looks at the value of art. Artist Tino Sehgal does not produce any tangible work, but performance-like ¿constructed situations¿, the photographing and documentation of which he prohibits. However, they are exhibited and sold like any other work of art. Based on the writings of great scholars in the field, this book investigates why the institutional framework of the museum is essential to Sehgal¿s work and constitutes it as a commodity, and how immaterial art can circulate through the art market. Tracing Sehgal¿s legacy back to Yves Klein and Marcel Duchamp, we see their lasting influences that contributed to the current art market in which works are sold as a system of IP-rights. A look is taken at these artists¿ tautological claim to producing visual art, the mystification of their practice and the establishing of brand names. Exploring issues that all art is inscribed in, we arrive at a situation in art history where the value and the price of art seem to have been conflated.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Unlike some students who are interested in math and statistics and read them with interest, some students do not enjoy studying these lessons and they regard it as a difficult lesson and consider it as an obstacle in fulfilling their curriculum. There is no doubt that math and statistic makes them anxious. Therefore, they couldn¿t do well in these courses. So, we must understand what we can do to alleviate their problem. In recent years, psychologist and educators showed that some psychological factors play an important role to promote or decline mathematics and statistics performance. This book is interesting to read in that it provides an opportunity to explore how some psychological factors influence the performance of students in mathematics and statistics. The interesting finding revealed in this book has implications that affect the students¿ statistics performance.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The thematic analysed is the evolution of the Precautionary Principle. It is a valuable tool for developing adequate decisions in situations where there is large uncertainty . The situations of uncertainty can be of different types and different entities. Indeed, the precautionary principle éncourages policies that protect human health and the environment in the face of uncertain risks. In recent years, legislators' attention has focused increasingly on actions to protect the environment and the human health. On the international plane, nations have accepted the precautionary principle as a basis for their policies. For these motivations, the analysis of the PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE appears an interesting thematic to study: indeed, it is important to understand if the principle could be an opportunity to improve and protect our world or a bureaucratic quibble.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The concept of appropriate technology has been addressed for electricity production in remote areas of developing countries through the solar ORC technology. The selection of working fluids plays an important role in ORC system. R245fa and R134a are recommended for power generation. In addition, R245fa works well for the heat source temperature of the range 100-120°C whereas R134a below 100°C. Vacuum type solar collector is used for obtaining the hot water which can produce the temperature of 120°C. The commercial scroll expander that adopt magnetic coupling has been used in the experiment. The experimental investigation of the small-scale ORC showed acceptable characteristics for the temperature of the 120°C that uses R245fa working fluid. The system efficiency is 8.5 % with the power output of 1.4 kW. From the economic point of view the solar ORC system cannot recover its investment until 19 years of installation and operation currently without any subsidies. The concept in this book is helpful for solar ORC developers, manufacturers, energy planners, rural practitioners, different aid and donor agencies for adopting the sustainable energy system technology.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Both Islam and Christianity claim to hold fervently to the two commandments of love: to love God with all of one's heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself. However, both religions have a colored history in relations with one another, illustrated by historical encounters in Spain, the Holy Land, and Constantinople. Though history informs and guides current and future discussions between Christians and Muslims, even history is subordinate to the special revelation of the holy texts in these religions. Based upon the holy texts, Christianity gives more theological motivation to love others and be active in social aid and justice movements around the world. The Christian definition of 'neighbor' is more expansive than the Muslim definition of 'neighbor.' Christians believe in a God who is love and who loves everyone, even his enemies, and in a Jesus who commands them to love their enemies and promises them the Holy Spirit to empower them to fulfill his commands to love.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Part two is intends to show the means of interaction between legislators and science, mainly development of the science and the legal reaction to these developments. It is intended to show how law and science interact between themselves and how development of one field impacts the development of another. Part three discusses the interaction of biotechnologies and bioethics with the most important category of modern legal order ¿ human rights and freedoms. Part four is dedicated to show the issues when biotechnologies developments can be considered as a subject for criminal law regulations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Ensuring a proper operation of the engines over their lifetime is an important air safety aspect. Even though the recent engines are highly reliable the number of accidents due to an incorrect crew response following an Engine malfunction has remained constant for many years. This prompted this study and it reveals that flight crews are not always able to identify and understand engine malfunctions precisely which leads to needless engine shutdowns, incidents and accidents. The scope of this Book is to provide basic guidelines to identify Engine failures/malfunctions and to give operational recommendations in case of Engine malfunction. It can be accomplished using SOM maps by Clustering the various engine parameters based on the parametric variations influenced by the faults,SOM maps are generated and they are stored as the failure template. In addition to their traditional tool based quantitative inspection of some measured variables to detect any deviation from the normal behavior making it possible to anticipate possible faults. By proper detection of the faults suitable malfunction response will be displayed to the crew for their assistance enhancing reliability and safety.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Short Message Service (SMS) is widely used to provide communication between users around the world. In the last years, it has become a lucrative way for cybercriminals to infect mobile devices with botnets and launch malicious attacks without the user's knowledge such as: SMS spam and SMS premium rate fraud. SMS spam is one of the dangerous malicious activities as the user is charged for each sent SMS spam. Existing solutions to this issue are no longer adequate as they are either costly in terms of resources, inefficient, or require user intervention with some knowledge on security. In this book, we design, analyze, and implement a system that detects any attempt to send out malicious SMS spams from the mobile device. The proposed system combines the rule-based and the content-based approaches into one detection process. It achieves good performance in terms of detection time and execution cost, and offers a good tradeoff between resilience against attacks and user interaction with the system. This book is intended for multiple audiences: academic, professional, students, and anyone else who is interested in IT security, and particularly in mobile security and botnet detection.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This qualitative study examines the personal history and risk factors that affect Hmong students in post-secondary education from the students¿ perspectives. Ten Hmong students (five male students and five female students) from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities were recruited to participate in this study. A series of open-ended questions was given to the participants. The researcher used content analysis to analyze the data. Categories were first developed from the interview responses and then were linked to previous related literature. After 40 years of living in the United States, the Hmong are still encountering many challenges in post-secondary education primarily due to internal (cultural barriers) and external (academic setting) conflicts. Acculturation is a continuous process in which individuals and families adopt different strategies at different times, and must deal with different life issues; thus, it is imperative that social workers and other professionals be knowledgeable about the current literature on how to effectively serve this population.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Globalization has engendered increased complexity in the modern society. This complexity penetrates almost every aspect of our life. In the context of food systems, globalized food supply chains have created greater challenges for assuring food safety, with myriad actors, who are economically, socially and culturally diverse, involved in the production and distribution processes. To manage such complexity, food safety standards have been established in order to assure the public interest. Nevertheless, food safety scandals persist on a global scale, in both developed and developing countries. This has revealed a problematic system of safety standard setting as well as an urge to re-examine the current food safety system. This book explores the dynamics and tensions between globalized value chain production and safety standard setting in the US broiler industry between the 1980s and the 2010s.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The South China Sea is a region which appears determined to shape the 21st century. Nearly half of the world's merchant fleet tonnage and a third of all crude oil will pass through this body of water. The 1.4 million square mile seascape is dotted with key geographic features, the Spratly Islands. Control of these small footholds could mean control of the South China Sea and for the past century nearly every Southeast Asian nation has staked a claim to the Islands. 'In Defense of the Spratly' Islands examines how China's encroachment of the Spratly Islands has forced the Philippines to strengthen their bilateral defense agreements with the United States. This lucid account of the complex web of Chinese-U.S.-Philippine relations makes a strong case that the South China Sea will continue to be the definitive body of water in the 21st century.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the post-war era, Western Europeans focused on economic integration whilst retreating from colonial responsibilities. Nevertheless, as the two superpowers influenced emerging post-colonial conflicts such as that between Israelis and Arabs, the practice of European Political Cooperation ¿ exemplified by the 1980 Venice Declaration ¿ highlighted a major foreign policy stance in what was an otherwise economic union. With the unforeseen geostrategic developments following the fall of the Berlin Wall, the EU endeavoured to reinforce its crisis management components, leading to the European Security & Defence Policy. Concomitant with a wider theoretical basis of 'security', and covering aspects including norm-transmission, economic cooperation and civilian-oriented crisis management, the EU's multidimensional nature in security provision is highlighted with regards to the case-studies of Israel/the Palestinian Territories (security sector reform), Iraq (training of authorities) and Morocco (economic cooperation).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 124 pp. Englisch.
