Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -On March 1, 2018, President V. Putin caused something of a stir, by publicly showcasing the newest version of Russiäs Doomsday Machine. The effect on Western public opinion was tremendous, creating the impression that Russia was updating its deterrent at an alarming pace. Still, rather limited information about this weaponry has been officially released in the (almost) five years which have followed the speech. Putting together the pieces of the jigsaw involves, inevitably, a lot of speculation. We summarize the most essential information and estimates about a total of 11 weapons of strategic and sub-strategic nature, either put in service recently (from 2010 till early 2023) or still under development. We also examine, briefly, the Russian nuclear doctrine and the strategy of active defense.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -According to the study done, the creation of a cocoa farming business in the province of Ituri in the DRC is a successful project. We have confirmed the assumptions formulated at the beginning of this study by recommending a follow-up approach to the security situation during the implementation of the activities. In the first place, we did a market study, in which the analysis of environmental factors helped to understand how business environmental factors could influence the project, considering the geographic location, the land tenure in place, and the security situation in the region. In second place, we did a feasibility study of the creation of the cocoa farming business. In that section, we developed the project structure, the technical description of the project with detailed activities, and the financial plan to determine the amount needed for the startup of the project. Finally, in order to objectively measure the effectiveness of the business, the financial analysis of the project uses the following tools: VPN, IRR, break-even, and SWOT were determinant elements of the project evaluation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A duststorm image has a reddish or yellowish color cast. Though a duststorm image and a hazy image are obtained using the same pro-cess, a hazy image has no color distortion as it has not been disturbed by particles, but a duststorm image has color distortion owing to an imbalance in the color channel, which is disturbed by sand particles. As a result, a duststorm image has a degraded color channel, which is rare in certain channels. Therefore, a color balance step is needed to enhance a duststorm image naturally. This study goes through two steps to im-prove a duststorm image. In general, the dark channel prior (DCP) is frequently applied in the dehazing step. However, the existing DCP method has a halo effect similar to an over-enhanced image due to a dark channel and a patch image. According to this point, this study proposes to adjustable DCP (ADCP). In the experiment results, the proposed method was superior to state-of-the-art methods both subjectively and objectively.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Both forms of interpersonal meanings, the use of appraisal and the use of irony, take part in an inferential model of communication, in which the right inferences or assumptions on the part of the interlocutor are crucial to the success of communication. This research aims to describe various ways of linguistic realization of interpersonal meanings in language use; the purpose of this description is to show that our choice of words may not only transmit ideology but also adhere to hegemonic or dominant discourses. Ideological stance is considered from a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) perspective which delves into the dialectal relationship between discursive and social structures (Fairclough, 1989). The analytical framework is based on Systemic Functional Linguistics (Halliday, 1994; Halliday & Matthiessen, 2014), mostly on Appraisal Theory (Martin & Rose, 2003; Martin & White, 2005). In order to show some different strategies to convey ideology, the use of appraisal and irony in Moore¿s film Capitalism: A love story (2009) is analysed. Qualitative methods are adopted to analyse the data. Findings show that our lexical choices may disclose an adherence to dominant ideologies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Is there another mode of hidden material reality that generates our everyday world Mihai Dr¿g¿nescu says yes. His approach is focused on a new orthophysical reality. It is made up of meaning structures, mental information, which have a material support of a new matter called informatter. It is not the first time that an intermediate field between the Empirical and the Absolute Transcendent is imagined as called 'Metaphysics'. The essential difference is that, while other systems of human thought exist, they cannot highlight the spatio-temporality of this area, instead Mihai Dr¿g¿nescu does. And this because information, whatever its nature, cannot exist without a support to support it. Hence the difference between the two types of information that exist, one in the Physical (empirical) domains and the other in Orthophysics. Because in Orthophysics we meet, at Mihai Dr¿g¿nescu, with information-meaning, while in Physics with information-physical connection between physical objects. It can be said that nothing new appears because phenomenology, considered the true phenomenology, the Husserlian one and the others derived from it, also deals with 'mental meanings'.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Bio polymers are widely used for bio implantation purposes in medical field due to its corrosion resistance, good wear properties and mechanical properties. In this book, in order to increase the life span of the implantation, coating process is applied on the PVC, TEFLON, and POLYURATHANE to form a thin film barrier. Hydroxyapatite (HAP) which is currently used as coating material, it is very expensive. This work aims at preparing new coating materials by using powders like Al2O3, egg shell and seashell powder, which are easily available and economical and to find a better suitable material to replace HAP. These coating materials are used to protect the surface of the implant material and interface with biological system. Plasma spray method is used to coat on PVC, TEFLON, and POLYURATHANE. This technique provides several advantages in the control of microstructure and the thickness of the coatings. The coated specimens are examined for the quality of coating by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM images are compared with the results of HAP coated Image to draw a better conclusion.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The present study tackles the respect of the rule of access to justice in the East African region especially domestic courts and the EACJ, by focusing on the role of these courts in guaranteeing individuals access to justice. In this regard, the researcher assesses their capabilities and demonstrates how the principle of access to justice is daily infringed by those who are expected to deliver justice. As findings, access to justice is violated by domestic courts whereby the legal assistance is often ignored while compulsory; trials delay, the punishment of the contempt of court deprives a party from his/her lawyer. Besides, before the EACJ, the timeframe to file lawsuits is long; putting aside the rule of prior exhaustion of domestic remedies entails duplication of rulings; its rulings are hardly enforced within members of the EAC, to cite a few.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book describes a way on how to finance economic development in developing countries (DCs) without savings or foreign loans. The economic theory states that one DCs should have enough savings before embarking on development process. Alas, there is a paradox of thrift, saying that an increase in saving will reduce GDP growth and the subsequent savings. Hence it could result in the prolongation of the required savings time, and then delays the development process. If saving is not available, the DCs should borrow foreign loans from saving surplus countries or from international financial institutions. But researches have shown that the economic growth of DCs with foreign loans to finance their development have lower economic growth compared to the self-financing countries. The question is, which domestic sources Schumpeter proposed the creation of money out of nothing. This was the way France and Germany used to industrialize their countries in the 19th century. This is also the way used by Germany to reconstruct the country after the World War II, and also China after 1980 to catch-up their lags in development. This is the way proposed for DCs, housing billions of people.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.
