Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The purpose of this book is to explore the emergence of Greek tragedy on the American stage until the 1950 through the intellectual processes and contributions of Greek, Italian and Jewish community theatre. We trace Greek tragedy on the American stage, exploring the intricate processes of community's theatre identities. The study aims to analyze the distinct yet related efforts of early Americans to intersect with Greek tragedy, searching simultaneously for the identities of immigrants. Ancient drama became a vehicle for major developments in American theater as individual immigrant communities began their own theatrical endeavors. The tracing of tragedy as form and concept follows the evolutionary course of domestic social, aesthetic and political ferments according to the international trends and currents and draws conclusion about the early Greek, Italian and Jewish immigrant's theatre in relationship to the first plays of American scene. Ultimately, community theater acquired identity by intersecting with the spiritual reception of tragedy in America.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -However, the Management of Conflicts in Africa always remains a crucial issue that the AU today even its predecessor the then OAU, fails to undertake drastic measures, addressing directly in conflicts and crises that are prevailing in the African continent. To notice that a good observation of conflict trends in Africa indicated that intrastate armed conflicts, which were rising during the end of the Colonial Period, have significantly decreased even if today they take another form. Conflicts in the continent have generally been resolved through peaceful means from decolonization to Post-Independences but a great number of conflicts remain a big and great challenge. Therefore, some questions need to be raised about this issue if or not the political Unification of the states was a matter of utmost urgency for the Africans, how the different conflicts fit and interact together, what means should be used to address to them.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the past century, community engagement has been part of a stand-alone forced assimilation plan, where indigenous knowledge and heritage has been rejected and suppressed in higher and tertiary institutions of education leading to decentralization and colonisation of knowledge. Due to historical institutional mistrust, misconceptions and lack of resources, the concept of community engagement continues to be received with mixed reactions across tertiary institutions. Coloniality continue to be observed not just in community engagement practices but also in the manner in which gender disparities are handled at doctorate level. In Zimbabwe, there has been a huge movement of women into the academic space. While this space was once dominated by men, the creation of policies that promote gender equality have seen an escalation in the involvement of women not just in institutions of higher learning but specifically in the doctorate academic levels. This has created discourse in scholarship. This book stands at the intersection of decolonisation and gender disparities in higher and tertiary institutions particularly in developing countries of Southern Africa.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Financial Performance is a subjective measure of how well a firm can use assets from its primary mode of business and generate revenues.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study explores the practical implications of Nash equilibrium in retail markets through the lens of experimental economics and game theory. Using a controlled experimental setup, we analyze the strategic decision-making processes of two competing supermarkets, examining how pricing, promotions, and inventory decisions evolve in response to each other's actions. The study seeks to determine whether firms naturally gravitate toward equilibrium strategies or deviate due to factors such as bounded rationality, market shocks, or behavioral biases.Through simulated market conditions and real-world case studies, we investigate how firms adjust their strategies over time and whether their actions align with theoretical equilibrium predictions. The findings provide insights into the predictability of competitive behavior in retail markets and the extent to which experimental economics can enhance our understanding of strategic interactions. This research contributes to both theoretical and applied economics, offering valuable implications for pricing strategies, competition policy, and market efficiency.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Soil erosion, a significant environmental challenge, results from the displacement of the upper soil layer by agents such as water, wind, and human activity. This phenomenon not only diminishes soil fertility and agricultural productivity but also affects water quality and ecosystem stability. This book effectively describes the assessment and management of soil erosion by integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as a powerful approach. GIS facilitates the spatial analysis and visualization of erosion patterns across extensive areas, utilizing diverse data sources like satellite imagery, soil attributes, and topographical details. ANN, with its machine learning capabilities, predicts soil erosion by identifying intricate patterns and relationships within the data. By leveraging the strengths of GIS and ANN, researchers can develop precise and comprehensive soil erosion models, enhancing decision-making for sustainable land management and soil conservation efforts.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Prosthesis refers to an artificial device replacing or augmenting a missing or impaired body part. Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a widely used solution for arthritis, hip fractures, and osteoporosis, significantly improving mobility and reducing pain. In this study, two hip prostheses with identical dimensions but different material combinations-Tantalum-TZP and CoCrMo-TZP-were analyzed using Finite Element Analysis. Various parameters like displacement, stress distribution, and strain were evaluated for different human activities. The results indicate that Tantalum-TZP prosthesis exhibited higher total deformation and equivalent elastic strain but lower equivalent stresses, except during the walking toe-off phase. However, the differences in total deformation and equivalent elastic strain were marginal. These findings provide insight into material performance in hip prostheses, aiding in improved implant designs for enhanced patient outcomes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Companies and institutes involved in the research and development of this area are devoted to considerably reduce the EV charging times to be close to the ones spent by users in gas-stations filling the fuel of the internal combustion engines vehicles. Today most EVs can be charged at 50 kW and 400 V following the fast-charging standards 'CCS - up to 80kW However new EVs are designed to withstand higher charging power. Therefore, output power scalability will be a key feature of the EV charging system by usage of power electronics building blocks, i.e., the total power can be scalable by paralleling circuits. This leads to manufacturing advantages because a single circuit building block design can satisfy a plurality of business and many charging standards. one can identify a well-known two-stage power conversion system, i.e., a three-phase AC-DC converter, a DC-DC circuit. The back-end circuit works as a three-channel PWM interleaved DC-DC buck-type converter.
