Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The rule of law is essential to international society just as it is to domestic order, but it is much more difficult to achieve on the international level. The fields of International Relations and International Law have engaged relatively little with one another. The interdisciplinary research demonstrates a number of contemporary trends that are often ill-addressed by scholars of either field including the increased importance of non-state actors and the ramifications of state weakness and state illegitimacy. A new paradigm of international relations is needed to be created based on international law . Through the angle of international law, the author tries to reflect the main arguments of the various theoretical approaches in international relations, and also calls for an interdisciplinary collaborated research agenda to address the contemporary international problems and build a global order in the globalized world of the 21st century. The analysis should shed some light on the trend of the ongoing interdisciplinary discussion between International Relations and International Law. 96 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study was carried out in Aweil West/North Counties of North Bahr el Ghazal State in South Sudan. It sought to establish the main local natural resource endowments, their utilization particularly in response to food insecurity, constraining factors and impacts on sustainability. The protracted conflict in South Sudan resulted in the loss of household assets and displacements, and subsequent widespread incidences of food insecurity. Results showed that loss of key livelihood capitals forced households to develop and adopt copping strategies by diversifying their livelihoods onto the local natural resource endowments. Many constraints were encountered, some of which are potential challenges on the sustainability of these resources. Intervention support from international agencies enhanced the process of livelihoods transitions. From this study; livestock, land,rivers and forest are the main local natural resource endowments for this community; livestock being the major one. Loss of livestock resulted in livelihood diversification in which crop production emerged as the leading livelihood, but constraining factors limited households from deriving maximum benefits. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ethiopia has been implementing a resettlement program, starting from 2003 in different parts of the country by mobilizing people from the drought-prone areas to the relatively unpopulated fertile low land areas. However, when communities relocate from their point of origin to resettlement site, they lose their social capital (mutual support, social networks) and this is especially true in case of women. Social networks have important role in accessing and using technology and play crucial role in facilitating diffusion of technology. So, this book reports the roles of social networks in facilitating or hampering technology diffusion in resettlement areas and has been intended to throw light on the existing formal and informal social networks among re-settlers. This book is expected to contribute to the understanding of social networks which will help design appropriate and relevant interventions by the agricultural research, extension and other development process aiming at benefiting the majority of Ethiopian farmers. 120 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What do we make of the interrelationships of race, class and gender through the lens of whiteness Premising whiteness as a structure of authority (drawing on Homi Bhabha), this study examines these intersections within the location of Western Sydney, Australia. Investigating whiteness in Western Sydney enables critical insights into the intersections of race, class and gender, given the popular positioning of Western Sydney as the working class other to the more affluent and cosmopolitan Northern and Eastern areas of Sydney; and the dumping ground for newly arrived immigrant and refugee populations from the latest sites of war and degradation around the world. This text examines these issues as theory and through pedagogic intervention in the racialised discourses and practices that frame the taken-for- granted relationships of dominant Anglo-Australians and their racialised others. Framed within feminist, post-structuralist and pedagogic theories, the study brings to life the challenges and opportunities of whiteness as a lens for understanding and challenging everyday racism. 296 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The development of endogenous growth theory has opened an avenue through which the effects of taxation on economic growth can be explored. Explicit modeling of the individual decisions that contribute to growth allows the analysis of tax incidence and the prediction of growth effects. This study, titled 'Effects of Taxation on Economic Growth (Uganda s Experience: 1987-2005)', reviews the theoretical and empirical evidence to assess how taxation affects the rate of economic growth in Uganda. In the methodology for this study, labour, capital, government consumption and revenue from the different tax components were used as the explanatory variables against GDP as the explained variable. Estimates of this study only reflect the cost of a combined tax and expenditure system and ignore effects caused by political decisions, corruption and other redistribution policies. 88 pp. Englisch.…

It is a fictional story with a supernatural premise. This thematic analysis uncovers whether 'Lost' can be interpreted as an application of the Orphic mysteries as a modern television show. The television show 'Lost' contains some religious elements throughout the series not unlike the Orphic mysteries. If this is the case, the program is more than simple entertainment it is a form of education or enlightenment. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Effective change leadership is important to any organisation undergoing fundamental transformation. In particular, the ability of senior public sector leaders to successfully drive strategic change is crucial to meeting the developmental and service delivery challenges faced in ensuring the effective, efficient and innovative government demanded by all its various stakeholders. This work is a case study that probes the phenomenon of effective change leadership by means of an examination of the successful creation of a shared legal advisory service to a provincial government in South Africa. It provides useful insights into the many and varied challenges faced by public sector leaders in driving strategic transformation in the administration of government institutions. It offers an example of successful change leadership and demonstrates the need for change agents within the public service to harness more emotionally resonant and relational forms of leadership if they are to soar to new heights in meeting the service delivery expectations of all who look to government to deliver the fruits of democracy. 112 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Macroeconomics of inflation is an existing field. Old and new techniques are implemented here, and new theories are checked and reconsidered. One of the main topics of this field is to have a clear idea on the costs of inflation, as well as what mechanisms underlying the association between inflation and poor economic performance, more evident in developing countries. They have experienced long run periods of high inflation and economic stagnation. Hence, inflation should be always a priority in the agenda of economic policy, but especially in developing-high inflation countries. In this sense, the motivation of this book is to contribute with updated evidence on the costs of inflation, through its effect on the price system, in economies with different level of development, which are clearly associated to different inflationary experiences. This book contains a vast recompilation of research on that subject of the last two decades. It is fruit of the initial work carried out in my doctoral thesis and posterior investigations, which have encompassed a wider sample of cases. This book is especially useful for academics and policimakers specializing on inflation processes. 112 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -To prevent disease outbreaks and increase competitiveness of U.S. shrimp products, U.S. aquaculture researchers have developed super-intensive, bio-secure, recirculating shrimp production systems since the early 1990s. The general objective of this research is to determine an optimal production strategy to maximize the net revenue for the system. An inventory optimization model was built to determine the optimal harvesting week, shrimp size, and number of crops per year for experimental trials conducted at Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Waddell Maricultural Center, and Oceanic Institute. Survival rate and price sensitivity analyses were conducted to see their impact on the system s net revenue. The optimal harvesting week solved by this model is determined by shrimp growth and feed functions. Price and survival rate can affect the value of net revenue, but do not impact the optimal harvesting week. Shrimp producers can use the developed inventory optimization model and results to manage their operations. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The case presented in this book concerns the repercussions of the Islamist translations of the Western Classics in Turkey. Islamist translations found extensive coverage in the Turkish press and thereby contributed to the visibility of the ideological nature of translation. Although translation is and always has been an ideological activity, this was the first time that 'the manipulation at work' in translation was so clearly recognized in the Turkish public sphere. This was due to polarization situated along the axis of secularist and Islamist poles in the Turkish society. Ideology in translation could only be deciphered within a state of conflicting ideologies. Translation is thus viewed, in this book, as a site where ideologies meet and compete within the same society. The current political and social environment in Turkey is provided for the evaluation of the case from a wider perspective. The book also expands on the notions of cultural planning, power relations, ideology and visibility in Translation Studies. This case study should be of interest to translators and translation researchers, and anyone else who is interested in the visibility of Islam in the public domains. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Musculoskeletal pain is a common affliction that affects millions worldwide. It not only has a negative impact on an individual s health but also, has large societal and economic consequences. In 2001, The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor reported a national approximation of 522,528 cases (34%) of all illnesses involving days away from work were attributed to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) (1). Furthermore, the multi-factorial etiology of musculoskeletal disorders and pain, along with the increased reporting of the illness (2) has produced substantial research over the last decade (3). The majority of the studies explore the relationship between work-related psychosocial risk factors associated with the reporting of musculoskeletal disorders and pain. The main objective of this study was to assess the impact on the ability to work, based on both personal and work-related psychosocial factors that may be associated with reported musculoskeletal pain. The current study was a cross-sectional assessment of multi-task GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) employees from four Philadelphia area corporate, manufacturing and two research and developing work-sites. 96 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The financial service sector is one of the sectors that have dramatically changed in the past years. The result of these changes has be a creation of a market place characterized by intense competition, little growth in primary demand and increased deregulation. Some authors explain this by stressing that as the result of this competition banks have attempted to set different strategies to retain their customers. To achieve this strategy of increasing customer loyalty, innovative products have been introduced by most banks, including those in Belgium.This book provides a framework that can help decision maker to design their product in order to meet their customer expectation. The framework developed in this book is actually based on the quantitative data obtained through a survey of customers of different banks in Belgium. Although the factors described in this book might be relevant for the Belgium case, one can still apply them in any banking environment. Some other interesting features that this book tries to highlight are the fact that social factors can play a role in building customer loyalty. . 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There was a time when the idea of competitive commercial space launches and global satellite telecommunications networks belonged exclusively to the realm of science fiction. Science fiction has now become reality. Private corporations and even ordinary civilians can participate in space activities. This is a dramatic change from the days when only States were active in space. In those days, States were only responsible for their own activities in outer space. With the introduction of a new class of participants, private entities, it is unclear who now bears responsibility for such activities. This book explores the question in the modern Space Age by briefly examining the evolution of State responsibility and critically evaluating the prevaling theories in this field to develop a different theory to resolve the issue based on a careful interpretation of Article VI of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty. The analysis should provoke discussion amongst academics and law makers regarding current theories relied upon by States to regulate private activities in outer space and be of interest to those in the commercial space business. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This qualitative study explores the influences of cultural differences on knowledge transfer. In order to do so a theoretical model of the individuals involved in the transfer of knowledge, the knowledge agents, has been developed, extending the classic sender-receiver communication prototype by including the aspects of home and host culture, the level of internationalization and the interconnectedness of different knowledge agents. In a second step the model has been tested by conducting a single case study. It has then been verified along several measurable cultural dimensions that are expected to impact knowledge transfer. The results of the study have shown that the cultural dimensions of power distance, individualism vs. collectivism, long- vs. short-term orientation, speed of communication, high vs. low context, monochronic vs. polychronic time, perception of space, internationalization, cultural openness, perceived cultural distance, and language ability do have a direct or indirect impact on the knowledge transfer process. 100 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In today s consumer driven, throw-away society Green marketing may be seen as an oxymoron where the two terms fundamentally disagree about consumer consumption and habits. Consumers, recognising this conflict of interest, are therefore particularly critical of companies Green marketing efforts, making employing strategies and methods difficult and critical to a companies success and reputation. This book documents an online exploratory multiple comparative case study of the Green marketing communication strategies of Tesco, The Body Shop and IKEA as per an interpretation of Grant s (2007) typologies and the effects they have on consumers perceptions and opinions. By comparing the findings about each company, new and interesting conclusions are able to be drawn about each company s Green marketing communications, providing a higher level of consumer and strategy understanding. This book explores a largely undocumented area of Green marketing and is a useful reference for both individuals studying this discipline and companies learning about the possible effects of the strategies they employ. 112 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The growing demand of healthcare services has motivated researchers to explore ways of using ICT to deliver quality care services at low costs. This has led to the development of proprietary Telemedicine and Wellness systems. Because of proprietary developments, standards are fluid and this rises interoperability concerns. Also remote collection and disseminate of medical data rises security and ethical concerns. Key concerns include data confidentiality, system reliability, user authentication, and data integrity. Therefore, in this thesis we investigate the current state of art and practice in TEW system implementations. From our investigation we conclude that most of the wireless sensor based TEW developments have focused on engineering issues of making the technology work at the expense of security and privacy. We note that even systems that have implemented security mechanisms may not have modeled appropriate threats. Hence, we present a threat model for TEW and propose a polynomial based key management scheme to secure TEW sensor communication. We conclude with remarks about the potential application of TEW systems in developing countries and the future trends. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Witten Hamiltonian and QSL Hamiltonian yield two qualitatively different quasilocal expressions of the energy-momentum and proofs of the positive energy quasilocalization in gravitational fields. However, the exploration by the two approaches for the angular momentum remains void. We engage in the losing part in this monograph. We are also motivated by the quest for the connection between the gravitating energy and angular momentum. It is believed the connection will offer a further norm for the quasilocal expression of the gravitational angular momentum, which has not yet had sufficiently confining criteria. After trials, we find all of our proposed Hamiltonians based on Witten's conception fail while the QSL Hamiltonian succeeds. This work takes off the slack investigation of the spinor angular momentum. Hopefully this takeoff can provide some insights for the communities of quantum gravity and classical gravitational theory to continue attempting at the possible candidates of the spinor Hamiltonian for the angular momentum by Witten's and, more importantly, unveiling the connection between the gravitational energy and angular momentum. 104 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The RSA algorithm is one of the most widely used and strongest cryptographic algorithms for over 20 years. It has braved attacks of many sorts, and been updated with various modifications. This algorithm however is vulnerable, and its life-span indeed a matter of an un-predictable technological revolution. In this research, the RSA algorithm and key variants have been reviewed, and trends in attacks against it analysed. In the suggested modification, we use a transaction integer i and the public and private keys of the receiving entity in a given communication, to generate transaction public and private sub-keys for the communication. To do a double encryption, the public sub-key is used, and then the public key applied to the pre-cipher. The decryption is the reverse. The impact of this modification on RSA security has been briefly analysed and recommendations given. The research concludes that such modification if further reasonably proved can considerably improve the RSA algorithm, extend its lifespan, and provide greater confidence for all its users. This research will be particularly useful to students, researchers and information security analysts. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Zea mays (a C4 plant) can withstand high sulfur dioxide concentrations up to 12.0 ppm without any harmful effects. Visible injury symptoms appear only after exposure to sulfur dioxide concentrations beyond 12.0 ppm. The pigments,proteins,amino acids and starch decrease after exposure to higher concentrations of sulfur dioxide. The free sugars,however,increase in response to sulfur dioxide exposure. The activity of PEP - carboxylase is inhibited non -competitively with respect to substrates, PEP and Mg2+ but it is competitive with HCO3-.The high affinity of the enzyme for HCO3- renders the replacement by sulfur dioxide more difficult which results in decreased sensitivity towards sulfur dioxide. NADP - malate dehydrogenase is inhibited uncompetitively with respect to OAA and non competitively with respect to NADPH. The low inhibitory effect of sulfur dioxide on the enzymes is indicated by high Ki values.In case of NADP - malic enzyme,sulfur dioxide shows a non competitive inhibition with respect to NADP+ but a competitive one with respect to Mg2+. With respect to malate, the inhibition is partially competitive. 196 pp. Englisch.…

Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar to study the effect of agroforestry tree specis (Dalbergia sissoo and Tectona grandis) and spacing on growth, development and seed production of important winter annual flowers (Babuna, Dimorphotheca, Tagetes and Paper flower). Different growth characters (Plant height, Number of leaves/plant and Plant spread) and Floral characters (Number of flower/plant, Flower size and Days taken to maturity) were found significantly higher under tree species shisham (Dalbergia sissoo). Among different flower species Babuna and Paper flower has given better results for different growth and floral characters. The higher values of growth characters were produced by wider spacing (60 cm 60 cm), while close spacing (60 cm 30 cm) produced higher value for floral characters in winter annual flowers. The highest seed yield (kg/ha) was produced by Babuna followed by Paper flower under Shisham with close spacing as compared to control and Teak 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) has attracted a great deal of attention because its chemical composition is similar to that of natural bone tissues. Applications include coatings of orthopedic and dental implants, alveolar ridge augmentation, maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, and scaffolds for bone growth and as powders in total hip and knee surgery. It promotes rapid bone growth and bonding between bony tissue and implant surfaces. Future biomaterials consisting of nano phase ceramic could be tailored to meet clinical requirements associated with either anatomical differences or patient s age. Nanocrystallized characteristics have proven to be of great biological efficacy. Mechanochemistry, which is a powerful technique to obtain any quantity of powder with controlled microstructure, is one possible means of synthesizing HA. This milling process, used to produce HA, presents the advantage that melting is not necessary and the powder obtained is nanocrystalline. The material can be compacted and transformed in solid ceramic samples or films. The milled powders were studied by x-ray diffraction, infrared, SEM and Raman scattering spectroscopy. 88 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -From new research and increased public awareness into the affects of lighting in the workplace, an investigation was undertaken to discover whether Photobiologists or Light Design Engineers were correct in their perception of necessary light for the healthfulness of office workers. Results from objective and subjective investigations proved inconclusive as they showed that elements of thinking from both parties had some truth. This implied that, at present, there is no one method that can be used to gauge the complete healthfulness of lighting, and so a compromise of both objective and subjective methods from both bodies of thinking must be used. This is obviously not an ideal situation as it cannot guarantee a consistency of quality and healthfulness. However, this will remain to be the case until Photobiologists can prove beyond any doubt that light type e.g. types of artificial lighting, affects human health, and force long awaited reform of lighting regulations in the workplace. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In Decalepis hamiltonii, extended flowering pattern, self-incompatibility, pollinator limitation, absence of seed dormancy, abortion of a considerable percentage of seedlings prior to establishment are contributing factors for the regulation of its population size. Further, the roots of this plant are over-exploited due to its commercial value in the preparation of a soft drink 'nannari sharbat' in India. In Shorea tumbuggaia, non-annual flowering, massive flowering, short flowering period, partial flowering at tree level, seed predation, absence of seed dormancy and inability of seedlings to compete with other simultaneously growing plants for establishment collectively contribute to the existence of small population size of S. tumbuggaia in a restricted area of Eastern Ghats forests in India. 64 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Using an Earth Model of Intermediate Complexity, experiments are performed during the Holocene to study the seasonality of precipitation in Greenland, the effect on the interpretation of ice core signals, and possible mechanisms that can account for the sudden decrease in temperature seen in ice cores from Greenland 8.2 kyr ago. Throughout the Holocene orbital parameters have changed resulting in an increase of the meridional gradient of the annual mean solar forcing. These changes influence the seasonality of Greenland precipitation. The isotope signal in ice cores are precipitation weighted, meaning that a signal is only recorded when it snows, and a change in the seasonality of precipitation will thus cause a bias in the signal. O18 records from Greenland ice cores show a large excursion 8.2 kyr ago. It is believed that the event is caused by freshwater discharges originating from the melting of the Laurentide ice sheet. Orbital and freshwater forcings are built into the circulation model ECBilt-CLIO, and the results will give an indication of the ice core bias and the effects on regional and global climate. 116 pp. Englisch.…
