Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Block ciphers are the central tools for cooking up the largest portion of data encrypted in today's world. It is crucial that they must be efficiently implemented in both hardware or/and software platforms. Furthermore, error-correcting codes are used to 'protect' the transmitted digital data over unreliable communication channel. People prefer to rely on well-known block codes, for example Hamming codes, Reed-Solomon codes etc., while LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) codes were ignored for 30 years from the moment Robert Gallager introduced them in his doctoral dissertation, 1960. Nowadays, LDPC codes are the opposite. They are the most attractive topics in coding theory. LDPC codes are usually long with a great probability to reduce the loss of information in a noisy communication channel. There are introduced very fast encoding and decoding algorithms which are implemented in Matlab. My work is to focus to implement this algorithms in C. The advantage of this approach is that you can quickly and easily analyze LDPC codes thanks to the speed and power of C. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Technologists and inventors are usually so carried away with their innovation that they totally overlook the customs and ambitions of the user community they wish to uplift. The culture of underdeveloped nations may serve as barriers against technological progress and various marketing approaches. A guide like this is long overdue, encouraging and creating the essential interaction between two different worlds, before expensive development projects are launched. This is achieved in explaining the norms, values and beliefs of selected African cultures. Case studies of both failures and successes of envisaged technological developments are cited, lifting out essential elements by way of entertaining examples. Reference is also made to successful self-help food-production projects launched in India and Nigeria. ¿Essential Interplay of Technology and Culture¿ skilfully depicts current shortcomings to be mastered by engineers and marketers, who wish to spread their wings beyond their borders. The reverse is also true, since simple English is used to assist rural communities to understand what is required by developers to achieve mutual success.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Vaccines are one of the greatest triumphs in medicine. They have also, however, been accompanied by an equally long history of vaccine hesitancy. One of the recent instances is the HPV vaccine, probably the most important vaccine against cancer to date. Despite huge successes worldwide, there is a significant anti-vaccine movement, and this has been particularly virulent in Japan, where the government issued a nationwide suspension of its vaccine recommendation. This book explores the political and institutional factors that contributed to this decision, and beyond that, whether this decision to suspend should have been made. To date, no previous study has been conducted on this topic. This book argues that Japanese government officials make immunization-program decisions based on broader institutional features of the state, and not on the value of the vaccine, to the detriment of public health. Government officials face incentives that result in vaccine suspensions when there is ambiguous legal liability, immense political pressure, short executive time horizons, and a risk-averse culture.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The current glocalization approach, where Western multinationals just export products to developing countries is becoming outdated. Currently there is a new phenemenon, which is called reverse innovation. These are innovations that are developed for the developing countries, but later on adopted in the developed countries. Because of the great potential reverse innovation has to offer, some Western firms invest in foreign start-ups or are even disrupting themselves by making use of reverse innovation. Through the technology turbulent, rapidly changing and continuously innovating Indian Telecommunication market, which is expected to be the world's largest, this book explains the potential for reverse innovation. Due to a decentralized, customer oriented focus these Indian firms are innovating and serving the customers in bottom-of-the-pyramid countries very well. They do this by either keep on coming up with new-to-the-world innovations, building brands through social media, mass customization, great after sales service and all the current best practices for reverse innovation, by identifying customer pain points and creating new consumption among non customers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Imagination is the soup with which creativity is eaten. One cannot create without imagining. When mental pictures are formed in one's mind the release of them can be put down in word or writing. It might not be perfect at the beginning but something has been created. When children imagine and want to write, they are so involved in it that they care less about spellings, punctuation, poor phrases and how the different parts might fit together. Through the editing process something laudable and concrete will always come forth. Children's imagination at first keeps them at the world of fantasy. That is why in this book some aspects of children's imagination have been briefly looked into. As time goes by, fantasy shifts to reality. This means that children should be given the opportunity to imagine and create in their own world and this can happen perfectly when the children are part of their own culture.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The present work consists of an attempt to a conceptual reconstruction of the logic of Chrysippus of Soli (cca 279 - cca 206 BCE), from the point of view of modern proof theory. The author argues that Chrysippus and his followers were fully aware of both the truth-value semantics and the proof-theoretical behaviour of the classical logic connectives, and that Chrysippus' logic amounts, actually, to a redundant formulation of classical two-valued logic, understood as a system of rules. From this one can extract several equivalent formulations of classical logic, in natural deduction style, matching modern standards.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Conflict and its consequences have plagued humanity since the beginning of time. Today, the world finds itself with 10 million stateless people (UNHCR, 2016). 26 % of these people are hosted in Sub-Saharan Africa (UNHCR, 2016). Child refugee rights are a pertinent issue in the Republic of South Africa. South Africäs progressive Constitution (1996) stipulates the right of all children to access education without discrimination. This book uses a rights based approach to education research to identify some of the factors that promote or hinder child refugee access to education in South Africa by focusing on Cape Town. Mabel interviewed civil society actors, school authorities and child refugees¿ parents in Cape Town to better understand the context. Although the South African Schools Act (1996) and other instruments provide a framework for the all children¿s access to schooling, the practical implementation of these and other policies at the school level is influenced by interpretation and application of policy by school administrators and refugee parents. The gaps between policy and implementation are a persistent threat to better access to schooling for refugee children.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Ovarian maturation of wild and captive Orange Mud Crab Scylla olivacea were recorded via morphological observation and histological study in order to determine the reproductive biology status of this species. In fact, this in the first report investigating ovarian maturation stages of S. olivacea based on the fatty acid composition examination. Based on the morphological, histological and fatty acids characteristics, ovarian maturation of S. olivacea was classified into four stages: Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 and Stage 4. As the ovary mature from Stage 1 to Stage 4, the volume of ovary was also increased and fatty acids concentration were significantly increased. This report revealed that, ovarian maturation stages of S. olivacea are closely related to its morphological appearance (e.g. ovary color and shape), cellular development (e.g. oocyte size and GSI) and fatty acid composition (e.g. fatty acids concentration). The ovarian maturation stage classification of S. olivacea provides important information for further studies on reproductive biology of this species.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -To attempt to appreciate how the relationship between children and computers affects learning, and how educators can guide enthusiasm for virtual environments towards gaining understanding of scientific processes, this study evaluates three educational websites in the subject area of Plant Biology at Key Stage 3, and identifies the characteristics of an effective web site for teaching the subject. Also, it aims for the content to be considered in a wider context, concluding that the important factors in success of the sites, and the activities they provide, are readability, ease and speed of access, manipulation and navigation, clear instructions for each activity, plus relevant coherent content. Increases in pupil skill levels, enabling participation in a Virtual Experiment, are apparent during the research. Exploration of Web Evaluation Criteria is critical if we are to improve our children¿s educational experiences using this medium, and the analysis may prove to be useful for education professionals who strive to select and use, or indeed develop, enriching internet-based instructional materials to consolidate or extend prior pupil learning.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This work provides reflections on some important themes of contemporary philosophy. The problem of realism ¿ in both its metaphysical and scientific versions ¿ plays a key role in the various sections, and the point of departure is Wilfrid Sellars¿ famous distinction between the manifest and the scientific images of the world. The possibility of ¿merging¿ the two images is taken into account, and the conclusion is that human beings will never be able to get rid of common sense. Nicholas Rescher is extensively quoted in the book. The mixture of pragmatism and idealism, typical of Rescher¿s thought, along with the difference between biological and cultural evolution, is taken into account. Even the issue of conceptual schemes, one of the most controversial in contemporary philosophy, is analyzed from many viewpoints since it has a fundamental bearing on many related questions. For example the problem of scientific realism, the relations between ontology and epistemology, and the role that our conceptualization of the world plays in a realist vs. idealist outlook on reality. The necessary link between science and philosophy is the central thread of the volume.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 124 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -OPERATIONAL CHANGE is a simple term but stands for one of the biggest and most complex challenges within an organization. It does not matter whether CHANGE occurs through a simple change initiative raised by management or it is imposed upon the organization through financial, environmental or technological factors - performing any significant CHANGE is the most demanding job in CHANGE MANAGEMENT. This book offers a simple guideline and standard procedure to make any OPERATIONAL CHANGE a predictable project with predictable outcome ¿ even if the outcome is a FAILED CHANGE. (Remember: Not all change projects can be successful and prediction of failure is possible and its recognition can avoid corporate disasters!). Dr. Klaus Juergen Wolf has performed several international CHANGE MANAGEMENT projects and has developed a standard procedure similar to medical surgeons when they perform an open heart bypass surgery or simple hip replacement. Nothing is left to random but controlled in chronological, sequential steps and within clear time-frames. Change can be seen as super-complex events but when it comes to OPERATIONAL CHANGE it must be seen in its simplicity in order to be successful. Change is about time and it is a function of time.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 144 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -It is this author¿s view that change is ¿the name of the game¿ in this 21st century, which is correctly labeled ¿the age of change¿. Forces of change are so intensive and change is transforming the face of nations, organizations and people every day. Change is no longer a ¿strategic choice¿, but more of a ¿strategic obligation¿ for countries and organizations that aim to survive the critical age of the complex world of the 21st century. However, according to leading experts, seventy percent of all change initiatives fail and two of every three transformation programs end in failure. It is this author¿s argument that most work and research carried out in the area of change management have focused on one element of the process at a time or on a specific phenomenon that accompanies the process. In this book we are examining the change process from another dimension. We focus on understanding the effect of culture on change, and particularly on making the success or failure of any transformation program. It is the author¿s view that the ability to understand and manage the ¿culture- reform- phenomenon¿ is the key to developing successful change management strategies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 144 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Hard to reach, child domestic workers are often failed by institutions formal and informal alike. International statutes, such as the United Nation¿s Convention of the Rights of the Child and the International Labour Organisation Convention 138 on the ILO minimum age, have attempted to reach child domestic workers but social norms keep this form of child labour thriving. These are children and their wellbeing has barely been extensively discussed until now. This book provides a comprehensive child domestic worker wellbeing framework that maps major themes embedded in informal institutions, demonstrating their impact. Research into the influence of international and local actors is highlighted to identify possible interventions that can improve the wellbeing of child domestic workers. Data collected during the progression of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, this revealed the reality of their limited social inclusion in national issues. Such exclusion indicates this marginalised group will remain excluded without effective targeted intervention. This book digs deeper into a hidden issue that should be brought to the fore in policy and practice.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This thesis investigates the combination of survey forecasts and uses data on US GDP growth to determine whether we can benefit from combining forecasts. Two main findings arise from the analysis. First, the results show that the sole combination of survey forecasts outperforms the combination of survey forecasts with more conventional time series models forecasts. Second, we find that combining the Survey of Professional Forecasters and the Greenbook survey forecasts yields lower RMSE at all but one horizon from nowcasts to four quarters ahead predictions. In particular, we show that the Bayesian model averaging combination is preferred for nowcasts. The simple equal-weighted average combination dominates for two and three quarters ahead predictions. Lastly, the predictive least square combination is superior for four quarters ahead forecasts.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.
