Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A concise book on public administration and public policy for Ghana is lacking in the literature, and hence, the the attempt to write this seminal book to fill the gap. The book defines public administration and ties it to the Constitution and the executive branch. It also emphasizes the history and reforms of the civil service. It devotes time to the judiciary and its role; it, furthermore, focuses some time on the policy process and the legislature. Finally, an attempt is made to tie all the 'pieces' together. This book is written for those interested in public administration and public policy in Ghana in particular and all others who are interested in the field of public administration and public policy in general. The principles and issues expressed in the book can be applied to many areas of public administration and public policy and are not restrictive. The book is intentionally written in an easy-to-understand format and language. The intention is to give a very broad and introductory overview of the workings of public administration and public policy, particularly using as an example a young and upcoming country on the move.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The review on applications of 2-trichloromethylbenzimidazole (TCMB) in analytical chemistry is presented. It was unexpectedly found, the uncolored TCMB reacted vigorously with pyridine at RT affording high-colored products. In reactions with some other nitrogen containing heteroaromatics (including pesticides) such as azines, azoles or benzazoles, formation of similar products occurred as well. The reaction was regioselective, since the both -positions adjacent versus the nitrogen atom(s) must not be substituted, and sensitive. However, the attempts to develop dosimeters for nicotine failed. In a pre-chromatographic reaction of aromatic o-diamine with methyl trichloroacetimidate, TCMB derivatives were formed in situ. Followed by TLC and visualization in pyridine vapors, it was applied for detection of o-phenylenediamines. The amaranth reaction product of TCMB and pyridine (LI Complex) was isolated and identified. Two different reaction mechanisms for azines an azoles were proposed. In water, LI Complex may be used as an indicator in the analysis of inorganic salts and in acid-base titration. The work is targeted on researchers and students in organic or analytical chemistry. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The researcher empirically examined factors influencing fertilizer use by smallholder farmers in Bahir Dar surrounding provinces via employment of primary cross sectional data. The descriptive statistics revealed that fertilizer application in the study area was below the recommendation rate. Credit fungibility really is becoming the challenging factor for farmers not to be interested in applying fertilizer on their farm lands. According to this study, livestock sector, saving, extension follow-up and Perennial tree plantation are the hot priority areas which need to get due attention in the future to use modern agricultural technologies to boost agricultural production. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Yerukala, Erukala, Erukula, or Kurru is a community found largely in the Southern Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu and Karnataka. Yerukalas are indigenous people of South India. They call themselves 'Kurru'. They are called as 'Yerukula' in Andhra Pradesh after their women's traditional profession of fortune telling, Eruka cheputa. The Yerukula migrated all over the state but basically they are from Prakasam and Krishna districts of coastal Andhra Pradesh. The tribes are rearing the pigs and sell the pork. Some people depend on basket making and daily labouring while the women wander from village to village as fortune tellers and as tattooists. They speak a mongrel dialect, which appears to be a mixture of Tamil, Telugu and Konkani. Today, the Yerukalas are settled in the villages/towns and trying to make their way out of the poverty by getting education to obtain financial freedom which has been denied to them since ages. Yerukalas are using reservations and other benefits from the government of India.Yerukalas are divided into five categories on their functions, there are Dabba Yerukala, Uppu Yerukala,Kunchapuri Yerukala, Parikamuggula and Karivepaku Yerukalas.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Network security is a serious global concern. The increasing prevalence of malware and incidents of attacks hinders the utilization of the Internet to its greatest benefit and incur significant economic losses. The traditional approaches in securing systems against threats are designing mechanisms that create a protective shield, almost always with vulnerabilities. This has created Intrusion Detection Systems to be developed that complement traditional approaches. However, with the advancement of computer technology, the behavior of intrusions has become complex that makes the work of security experts hard to analyze and detect intrusions. In order to address these challenges, Artificial Intelligence based techniques have become a promising solution. However, the individual techniques report low detection accuracy and high false positive rate in intrusion detection. The accuracy may be enhanced by using ensemble techniques comprised of multiple techniques. The multiple techniques can be combined in a number of ways to enhance the detection results.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The use of IC engine in the ever increasing fleet of world vehicles has been questioned in recent times due to the increasing concerns of global warming.Battery operated Electric vehicle is the best solution to mitigate this environmental pollution,particularly in large urban and sub-urban areas.In this work,design and development of drive train for an electric three wheeler platform was undertaken.The appropriate rating of propulsion motor,on-board battery requirement and transmission gear ratio were determined considering the Indian Drive Cycle(IDC)and thorough analysis of the vehicle dynamics.Three phase induction motor was chosen as the propulsion motor in view of reliability,robustness,high efficiency,low maintenance,ease of manufacture and favourable economics.The motor has been designed particularly for EV application and analysed in JMAG software.It uses indirect field-oriented control with field weakening operation to operate beyond base speed to fulfill frequently varying speed and load torque demand and successfully validated on laboratory level experimental setup. 152 pp. Englisch.…
