Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Almost all asthma patient demonstrate bronchial hyper responsiveness. Bronchial hyper responsiveness is an abnormality of the airway, which makes the airways to narrow too much & too easily in response to various stimuli either direct or indirect . Bronchoprovocation test is performed to evaluate the bronchial hyper responsiveness. In this study we proved that hypertonic saline is an equally effective bronchoprovocative agents as methacholine which was commonly used for challenge test or bronchoprovocation test for the diagnosis of Bronchial Asthma. More over hypertonic saline has very little effect or no effect in contrast to methacholine on normal subject,which is responsible for false positive result. So we can conclude that , hypertonic saline is more specific bronchoprovocative agent in the diagnosis of bronchial asthma .Since hypertonic saline is very cheap & easily available , we propose that it should be considered as reliable bronchoprovocative agent for the diagnosis of Bronchial asthma in underdevloped countries . …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Complexity and emergence in innovation projects Emergence and self-regulation are two important phenomena that define the behaviour of complex adaptive systems. In this reserach innovation at the firm level is approached from the perspective of complex adaptive systems theory. This research deliberatly aims to open up new roads for research by approaching innovation from another perspective than is done in mainstream literature. The research is framed within the so-called complexity paradigm,which is primarily concerned with phenomena like swarm intelligence, self-regulation, emergence and adaptation. Over the last 30 years the interest and focus of attention for these types of systems has grown in the managerial sciences. This research forms a breakthrough since it for the first time applies complex adaptive systems theory in combination with a simulation based on the idea of swarm intelligence in a real-life setting. The results reveal a number of interesting insights and conclusions about the design and improvement of innovation processes and management of innovation projects.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the contemporary world it has been widely upheld that human rights norms and standards have come to play a distinctive role in international life. However, the war of August 2008 between Russia and Georgia has demonstrated that the gap between the promise and the practice of human rights still remains huge. The analysis of the Russia-Georgia conflict nature and its dynamic leads to the major conclusions that, though the human rights regime has grown to the extent that it became almost impossible to ignore its importance in contemporary international relations, the persistence of human rights abuses, double standards and selectivity in human rights interventionism point to the gap between rhetoric and reality. The international human rights regime is political in practice though its intentions are idealistic. It responds pragmatically to circumstances and consequently often operates inconsistently. While the human rights institutions are essentially impartial, they are procedurally restricted and diplomatically cautious. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the presence of an investment opportunity, a borrower decides whether to invest. I find that - depending on the borrower's personal wealth and the presence of limited liability - the investment is not always undertaken, which leads to investment distortion. Furthermore, when the borrower has intertemporal consumption preference rather than aggregate consumption preference, the potential investment distortion problem is weakly exacerbated. The change of the borrower's risk preference from constant absolute risk aversion to decreasing absolute risk aversion lowers the occurrence of the potential investment distortion as his personal wealth increases. Furthermore, when the borrower is privately informed about his personal wealth, the Revelation Principle applies and the naive contract which is derived from public information case is optimal. 92 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Constitution of India grants equal rights to women and various laws have been enacted to protect and empower women. While some women have definitely benefited from these provisions and have occupied highest positions in political system but for majority of poor and illiterate women life still remains a continuous struggle in a very traditional, patriarchal and feudal society. Customs and practices like female infanticide, neglect, illiteracy, child marriage, dowry, repeated pregnancies, unattended child birth, wife battering, bride burning, honour killing, rape, molestation, eve teasing, denial of property etc are indicators of position of women in Indian society. Thus Indian society harbours a clear bias against women but the situation worsens if women happen to be in prison either as convicts or as under trials. For then they are branded as bad women who deserve bad treatment. This combined with their total dependence of prison officials, corruption, lack of resources and lack of work culture further worsens their condition. Present work is an attempt at presenting before the world the condition of women prisoners in India in the context of their human rights. 104 pp. Englisch.…

It focused on what seems to be the most important convention, among all CDS standards: the fixed coupon convention. After explaining briefly the standardization itself and this particular convention, this works analyses its impact on CDS volumes yet to be issued and on liquidity through the transaction bid ask spread. Concerning volume, it did not find an overall tendency; it depends on the market conditions. Results are that, adopting conventional CDS coupon rates above credit spread shall encourage speculation. It shall also increase hedging transaction volumes in illiquid market situations, while discouraging hedging in liquid market situations. As for the bid as spread, using an information asymmetry based model, results are that adopting coupon rate above credit spread shall increase liquidity spread. 64 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The construction industry has helped to shape the world to what it is today. When building and development began, there were no specifications or standard delivery methods. There was simply a master builder who would make a design and build it himself. As technology and legal standards have continuously evolved, the construction industry has evolved as well. Now construction projects must involve several professions, such as architects, engineers, land surveyors, and contractors to perform up to the standards given by the owner and jurisdiction involved in the project. Due to evolving technologies, land surveyors have developed capabilities to describe every square inch of ground in the United States with a legal description and in x, y, and z coordinates. However, it has not always been so easy for the Land Surveyors. When they first started making land descriptions, township corners were marked every six miles in the latitudinal and longitudinal directions, creating several square shaped six by six mile, thirty-six square mile townships. 56 pp. Englisch.…
