Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -By 2030, more people in the developing world will live in urban than rural areas; by 2050, two-thirds of its population is likely to be urban. The world's population as a whole is expected to grow by 2.5 billion from 2007 to 2050. This demographic transformation has profound implications for health. Botswana is no exception to the challenges of urbanization. It has experienced rapid urbanization since the 1980's. Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana is often described as Africa's fastest growing city because it is experiencing an increased influx of migrants from rural and neighbouring countries. Over half (54%) of Botswana's population currently lives in the urban settlements. Despite the fact that urbanization has benefited Botswana's economic and social development, it has also generated wide range of socio-economic challenges. This book presents the findings of the study on the social determinants of health conducted among the poor urban residents in Gaborone, Botswana. The book should be useful to policy makers in governments, International development partners, Non Governmental Organizations and scholars in the field of public and urban health.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -When compared to MTA cells, MTB-01 cells were susceptible to risedronateinduced apoptosis, had decreased ability to bind to risedronate-treated bone, and did not produce MMP-2 or MMP-9 proteases. MTA cells were less susceptible to risedronateinduced apoptosis and produced MMP-2. Additionally, adhesion of MTA cells to bone matrix was not diminished by risedronate treatment. Our results suggest that the nonresponsive nature of the MTA cell line may be due to MMP-2 production (possibly allowing ongoing destruction of risedronate-treated bone), continued adhesion to risedronate-treated bone matrix, and decreased susceptibility to risedronate-induced apoptosis. 128 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Multimedia application such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and Video Conferencing are the two demanding applications in the recent times. These applications are noise and delay sensitive due to their variable bit rate characteristic and require higher bandwidth. Therefore quality of service (QoS) has become essential consideration for supporting such applications. The Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is a popular wireless broadband technology having strong provision for QoS support of multimedia applications. This publication investigates the performance of VoIP and Video Conferencing over WiMAX network. Parameters that indicate Quality of Service such as delay, jitter, packet loss and throughput are analysed construction different scenarios on the basis of different service flows and codecs defined in WiMAX system. OPNET Modeller 14.5 has been used to design and simulate VoIP and Video Conferencing scenarios for the WiMAX Network to analyze its performance capabilities over these real time multimedia applications. The result suggests that better QoS is achieved by using appropriate service flows designed for specific applications. 100 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As the transistors became smaller in size and the systems became faster, issues like power consumption, signal integrity, soft error tolerance, and testing became serious challenges. There is an increasing demand to put CAD tools in the design flow to address these issues at every step of the design process. First part of this research investigates circuit level techniques to reduce power consumption in digital systems. In second part, improving soft error tolerance of digital systems is considered as a trade off problem between power and reliability and a power aware dynamic soft error tolerance control strategy is developed. The objective of this research is to provide CAD tools and circuit design techniques to optimize power consumption and to increase soft error tolerance of digital circuits. Multiple supply and threshold voltages are used to reduce power consumption. Variable supply and threshold voltages are used together with variable capacitances to develop a dynamic soft error tolerance control scheme. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The problems encountered in biology are usually complex and often not totally understood. Mathematical modeling provides a means to better understand the processes and unravel some of these complexities. This book presents a model for detecting diabetes Mellitus in the blood. Epinephrine has been successfully incorporated as a third variable in the existing model of blood glucose regulatory system (BGRS). The importance of this third variable lies in its ability to help in conducting a reliable test for detecting diabetes in the blood. This leads to a system of linear homogenous equations whose solution provides the blood glucose concentrations for diabetics and non diabetics. This model has been found to be asymptotically stable since the the eigenvalues of the coefficient matrix are complex numbers with negative real parts. The resonance period for this new model is also far less than that for the existing model. This shows that the glucose concentration returns to normal level within a shorter time. This model would help the medical practitioners to predict diabetics from non diabetics. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Critical care nursing is the field of nursing with a focus on the utmost care of the critically ill or unstable patients. The patient s oral care is a key component of nursing care. Oral care is often considered primarily an intervention for patient s comfort, a characteristic that may reduce its priority and hence frequency. When patients are hospitalized for critical illness in the ICU, the oral flora is altered, accompanied by a decrease in salivary volume and an increase in dental plaque. Hospitalization also alters a patient s usual oral hygiene measures, further compromising oral health. Oral care protocols have been shown to benefit ICU patients, but additional research is needed, especially on the optimal frequency of oral care, the duration of tooth brushing needed during an episode of oral care, and educational considerations to ensure consistency in oral care practices among healthcare providers and family members. This book specifies the need to develop and implement a comprehensive oral care program for patients in critical care and acute care settings who are at high risk for healthcare-associated pneumonia. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book we have shown what others have done in regard to enhancing SCTP's retransmission time-out performance, and how their approaches are different from ours. We have also shown how the Adaptive RTO algorithm helps improve the SCTP's performance in contrast to the existing implementation. Significant amount of data were gathered in order to show that we have improved the transfer rate in SCTP by about 5%, in the scenario where the Adaptive RTO algorithm is implemented. We have been vigilant in making sure the Adaptive RTO algorithm does not unnecessarily clog network's bandwidth, and that the current implementation of RTO MIN can be safely replaced with the Adaptive RTO algorithm. Furthermore, we have done extensive testing of the Adaptive RTO algorithm in respect to multiple scenarios.We have also shown that the Adaptive RTO algorithm does not clog network's bandwidth under any conditions. This is an evolutionary research. This book does not solve all the problems but sets up additional studies and hypothesis. 56 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Metal complexes are species consisting of metal coordinated with one or more ligands, they are important in catalysis, materials synthesis, photochemistry, biological Systems and so on .Moreover these metal complexes display diverse chemical, optical and magnetic properties which are significant for different applications. This monograph contains an attempt has been made to synthesize a new tipodal multidentae ligand containing S-Triazine function capable of holding metal ions through possible coordination center with alternative path of preparation and to search metal ions which are capable of coordinated in these available sites. Based on the analytical, spectral (i.e NMR, IR, UV), magnetic susceptibility and conductance data it is proposed that the ligand employs one or more ONN sequence in metal binding process. Precisely, the Ni(II) complex involves bonding through one ONN sequence and the Zn(II) complex has bonding through three such sequences. As such TSHSTZ behaves as a dibasic ONN donor towards Ni(II) and tri basic tris-ONN donor towards Zn(II) with the preference of Octahedral and Tetrahedral geometries respectively. 80 pp. Englisch.
